NONE. super nice. only rusty thing that could be replaced to be real nice is rear bumper.. weird spot,but these had rust issues with bumpers and I actually just put a brand new front bumper on it. also the interior is super nice, no rips or tears in seats or dash, a few wrinkles in front of headliner, and a few normal carpet stains that's it. I got the truck from a friend at work too who just upgraded so I know its history and was taken care of. has hand done roll in or spray in bedliner..again bed in excellent condition, liner is a little thin here and there, but again no rust inside bed or under it...a few minor things to mention that I know of is it will need tires before winter and the cruise didn't work when I tried it, a/c works but could prob. take of bottle of coolant to blow ice cold. drivers side mirror has crack in glass but can see fine and it works.. one tiny stone chip at top of windshield. has keyless entry which I think just needs a new battery, did work.. and these also had a clear coat peeling problem..so my buddy did recoat the hood and the roof at one point and he is no expert painter.. don't look terrible but its not show quality that's for sure.. just wanted to mention its hard to see in pics, but at least it is protected, overall rest of paint real nice... ya know normal little stuff.. nothing major or much for the year, I just like to try to as honest and detailed as can be unlike most on here.. like I said this truck overall is very nice and would make a great truck for a new driver or a second vehicle or whatever, will need inspected it just ran out in may, I never got done cause I actually only used lightly around my land I just bought cause it was a fair deal from my friend and have a thing for vehicles...but 1 needs to go to get car. I would be comfortable saying it will need nothing to pass besides tires probably. which brings me to some new items I did do just as the norm when I buy something cause I like to know its done... so new items in last 20 miles have been...oil change , new distributor cap, and rotor , lower power steering hose had a leak, new front bumper as mentioned, new front brake pads and new air filter..so that's about it , im offering truck very fair to get a car so don't miss...its a nice rust free 4x4 truck. lots of room in back for kids too and storage under seats..alot nicer than most mid size trucks... and just wanna mention even though its known.. this truck is a very nice 1997 and I described very well and it is sold as is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied.. thanks and any ?? or offers feel free to message me..

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car is ready to burn rubber at SEMA [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.
The engineers' biggest tweak to the body was moving the cockpit further back. This created more clearance under the hood, and the change came with added advantage of giving the driver better visibility out of the car. Composites like Kevlar also helped make the one-piece shell even lighter, while not sacrificing strength.
The new design has already undergone extensive time in the wind tunnel and real-world runs to make sure that none of the changes negatively impacted the aerodynamics. With those tests out of the way, the Charger R/T Funny Car will have the first chance to truly prove itself in NHRA competition at the 2015 Winternationals from February 5-9 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA.
