For those of you whom wished that the SRT division would bring back a modified Ram, this one's for you. A 392 crate motor for an SRT Challenger was dropped into the engine bay along with custom shorty headers and an 87mm throttle body. The rear end was then converted to an Eaton POSI along with a 4.56 final drive. There's now a fan assisted external transmission cooler and a water cooled oil filter assembly. The entire dyno tune and adjust was handled by the absolute best in the country, Josh at HHP and AJ of Arrington. The result? How about 404/438 at the wheels of smooth, pure power. No check engine lights, no error codes, no drama. No expense was spared and the results are amazing. This truck eats stock SRT vehicles and the Viper Ram trucks.

With the engine, tuning and driveline sorted, it was time to turn the attention to the suspension. Custom engineered RideTech coilovers with complete adjustability were added to each corner. They were adjusted via corner weighting and optimized for balance and smooth ride. To get the lowered stance but not lose any of the ride, we turned to MCG drop spindles in the front and an adjustable panhard bar in the back. The alignment is spot on and the truck rides on rails yet handles bumps like a dream. This is a $2000 suspension in shocks alone, and the feel and quality of the ride is its reward. Finishing off the handling side is a set of 22" SRT chrome truck rims with staggered tires sized at 285/45 and 305/45 in Goodyear Fortera SL. The tires are practically spotless with no abnormal wear, plugs or other drama.

Now on to the fun stuff: Cosmetics and bolt ons. We added the full fender flares and painted them to match the truck. The rear tail lamps are LED units lightly smoked and the front lights are Euro spec light smoke. There's an S&B intake, Solo Catback Exhaust, Custom Y-Pipe, Full Bed Rug and the best of class tonneau, the Undercover Lux painted the factory Mopar black. 

And for the true aficionado, you'll notice that this is a three seater. How is that you say? The Ram R/T's only came with the center console. Well, a local Dodge dealer performed the swap over including the seat belts, column shifter and revised center dash cupholder. The result: The ability to safely bring two other people along for the ride with absolutely no cutting, welding or other nonsense. Nothing but factory Mopar parts all around and the interior is like it rolled off the assembly line that way.

So why you ask is such a truck for sale? Because my six month labor of love needs to find a new home. Recent events have left my business in need of the cash and my pride and joy will have to go. My hope is that she finds her way to someone that appreciates the level of difficulty it takes to build a truck like this one the right way. Anybody can cram a big motor into something but making it operate like it is from the factory, well that takes time, money and most importantly, only the best tuners and installers. This Ram has just under $35K to make her complete and the buy in from the dealer was around $30K. My rationale: A $65K truck that can do all this, and the only one in the United States with this setup, is a bargain compared to other SRT vehicles. 

So rest assured that you're buying the best from a guy that cares and has a perfect record here on Ebay. I don't sell garbage and I do what needs to be done to make the sale right for both of us. 

**Feel free to shoot me offers as I'm highly motivated yet cautiously looking for the right buyer as well.**

**Trades will also be considered**

FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.

The Chrysler brand could be axed under Stellantis management

Sun, Jan 3 2021

MILAN — While running NissanÂ’s North American operations from 2009 to 2011, Carlos Tavares had a reputation for closely watching costs with little tolerance for vehicles or ventures that didnÂ’t make money. Experts say that means Tavares, currently the head of PSA Group, is likely to follow that blueprint when he becomes leader of a merged PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The low-performing Chrysler brand might get the axe as could slow-selling cars, SUVs or trucks that lack potential. Already the companies are talking about consolidating vehicle platforms — the underpinnings and powertrains — to save billions in engineering and manufacturing costs. That could mean job losses in Italy, Germany and Michigan as PSA Peugeot technology is integrated into North American and Italian vehicles. “You canÂ’t be cost efficient if you keep the entire scale of both companies,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for the iSeeCars.com auto website. “WeÂ’ve seen this show before, and weÂ’re going to see it again where they economize these platforms across continents, across multiple markets.” Shareholders of both companies are to meet Monday to vote on the merger to form the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, to be called Stellantis. The deal received EU regulatory approval just before Christmas. Tavares, who for years has wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S., wonÂ’t take full control of the merged companies until the end of January at the earliest. He likely will target Europe for consolidation first, because thatÂ’s where Fiat vehicles overlap extensively with PSAÂ’s, said IHS Markit Principal Auto Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Europe has been a money-loser for FCA, and factories in Italy are operating way below capacity — a concern for unions, given FiatÂ’s role as the largest private sector employer in the country. “We are at a crossroads,Â’Â’ said Michele De Palma of the FIOM CGIL metalworkersÂ’ union. “Either there is a relaunch, or there is a slow agonizing closure of industry, in particular the auto industry, in Italy.” ItalyÂ’s hopes lie with the luxury Maserati and sporty Alfa Romeo brands, but De Palma said investments are needed to bring hybrid and electric technology up to speed. FiatÂ’s Italian capacity stands at 1.5 million vehicles, but only a few hundred thousand are being produced each year. Most factories were on rolling short-term layoffs due to lack of demand, even before the pandemic.

Ram boosts Heavy Duty truck claims for 2015 [w/video]

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

The heavy-duty truck segment boasts some of the tightest competition of any automotive niche in the US. Being able to tout just one best-in-class figure can be a marketing advantage over competitors, and Ram Trucks is adding one more accolade to its tally with a powertrain update for the 2015 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickups. Ram now claims best-in-class ratings for torque, towing and payload, depending on configuration.
The major change comes for the 3500 HD with a boost in torque for its Cummins 6.7-liter, inline-six diesel engine. It now produces a meaty 865 pound-feet of twist, a boost of 15 lb-ft, which is the best figure in its segment, according to the company. To eek out the extra power, the mill has more aggressive fuel delivery, and the turbo has been recalibrated. Of course, more grunt would be meaningless if drivers couldn't do anything with it, and the tweaks help allow payload to grow to 7,390 pounds, up from a rating of 7,320 pounds last year. The max towing rating remains unchanged at 30,000 pounds, though.
The rest of the powertrain lineup carries over from last year. The base HD mill is the gasoline-fed 5.7-liter V8 with 383 hp and 400 lb-ft and a six-speed automatic. The next step up is a 6.4-liter V8 with 410 hp and 429 lb-ft. There are also three trims of the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel starting with 350 hp and 660 lb-ft with a six-speed manual gearbox. If buyers opt for a the 68RFE six-speed auto, they get 370 hp and 800 lb-ft. Finally, there's the updated, top-rung version with 385 hp and 865 lb-ft with an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission.
