1996 Dodge Ram 2500 2wd with 283,000 miles
Legendary 12 valve Cummins 5.9L Turbo Diesel bulletproof 1 million mile engine I have owned this truck almost 5 years and never had an engine issue. This truck to my knowledge has never been tuned or had the injection pump played with. Inside is very clean, no rips, tears, or smells. I have taken very good car of this truck over the years, in the last 7,000 miles I've had: The transmission went through, brand new torque converter, full flush with new fluid and filter. Shifts perfect. $1000 All new front brakes, rotors, calipers, pads, everything. Stops excellent. $800 New rear drums around 15,000 miles ago. New alternator (lifetime warranty) and 2 brand new batterys - truck fires right up New radiator - runs very cool New speed sensor in the rear diff with brand new fluid. New ball joints in the front end, steering is tight. All the tires have very good tread and are 10 ply New serpentine belt. The flat bed is a 8.5 L x 7 W with gooseneck and class 3 hitch. This truck can tow anything you put behind it or you can drive it empty and get 20mpg all day long. Great all-around truck. I added the flatbed at around 240k and have only pulled a gooseneck for about 3k miles total, so this truck hasn't been worked hard. This truck is very solid mechanically, theres just a few small things I haven't yet gotten around to fixing: Theres a loose connection or a bad vacuum line somewhere, I'm not getting any air out of the dash. The A/C does work very well, just need to find the bad vaccum line. There is some chipping of the paint I need to repair. The brake and abs light is on, brakes seem to work fine. Maybe a wheel speed sensor is bad. I pulled the front seats to clean the carpet, the seat sliders got a little out of wack in the process and could use a little attention. Also need to get a bolt for the drivers side seat belt. It's been sitting for a few months and could use a new fuel filter Bondo work on the lower passenger door could be better, can be easily fixed. Just little stuff, I may have time to address soon, I'm just not sure. This is a great truck that has been taken care or, don't miss out on a rare dodge 12valve. These things just seem to keep going up in value. Clean title. Price is firm. serous inquires only Call, message, or email 704-860-3729 Matt |

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.
2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Watchers of the auto industry will notice a theme among the formerly bankrupted American automakers, General Motors and Chrysler. There are the post-bankruptcy vehicles, and the pre-bankruptcy vehicles. The former, in the case of Chrysler, include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the 200 and 300. For GM, there's the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Impala and Buick Encore, among others. These vehicles have the freshest styling, with sharp exteriors and well-crafted interiors, as well as advanced powertrains and well-sorted chassis.
As for the pre-bankruptcy vehicles, they tend to be easy to spot. Most suffer from inferior driving dynamics, cheaper interiors, poorer fuel economy and often homely looks (we know, there were some decent cars before the bankruptcy, but they were pretty heavily outweighed by the bad ones). Think late, last-generation Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 200. Increasingly, though, we're seeing vehicles that split the balance between pre- and post-bankruptcy. Vehicles like the Dodge Journey.
The Journey debuted in 2007 as a 2008 model year vehicle, meaning it should fall into the latter category. But heavily breathed upon in 2011, it now enjoys a new, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a big, critically acclaimed touchscreen display and in the case of today's tester, a new-for-2014 Crossroad spec.
