This is the van that I ran my service company out of. The van has been very reliable ever since I purchased it new in Clearwater, except for the first 1200 miles: the voltage regulator went and killed the alternator along with the battery (warrantied). Other than that, I have never been stranded.

The van gets between 20-25 mpg depending on your driving conditions and if the A/C is on. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this van mechanically. The engine fires up with no problem and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly too. I do all of the maintenance myself.

The body has some minor surface rust on the roof rain-gutters, along with a patch of paint missing on the front drivers-side part of the roof (check out one of the pictures). There are some minor dings that are no bigger than a quarter in size (not deep either) here and there—very very minor stuff. I still I get a lot of compliments on this vehicle all of the time, in reference to the condition that it is in.

The wheels do have some flaking paint and surface rust on the lug bolts. The alignment is pretty solid along with the tire balance. The tires are Continental 225/70/15 with plenty of tread life on them. 

You’re probably curious why the spare tire is in the van cargo area, and not in its original space: I had a U-Haul tow hitch welded to the frame. It was supposed to allow the spare to remain in the original position. The spare tire could no longer fit under the van, so that is why it is inside now. There is an aftermarket spare tire rack that can be attached to one of the rear doors to allow the spare tire to remain outside. I just never needed to purchase it.

               

Please feel free to email me with any questions, or if you would like to see the van in person. If you would like to talk on the phone, email me your number and I will get back to you. Please be patient on my return phone calls. I work out of my house, so it shouldn’t be too long to get back to you.

I don’t accept PayPal, a personal check, or credit card. Cashier’s check “only.”

I have the title in hand. You pick up or provide shipping arrangements at your expense.

Turn up the volume: Flat out in the Dodge Charger Scat Pack

Thu, Jul 4 2019

The 2019 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack is a rare breed in the car market. It's a reasonably affordable large sedan with a huge honking V8 and rear wheel drive. You know, the perfect car for this Fourth of July. Or any day ending in Y, really. The R/T Scat Pack is the second most powerful version of the sedan with a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 making 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. Only the 707-horsepower Hellcat is a more powerful Charger. But power is only part of the story. The other part is the noise. The V8 has a gritty, dirty rumble to it. We recorded it cruising up on-ramps, down shifting, and got a few standing revs out of it. Check out the video to hear for yourself.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
