1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Extended Cab 4x4 5.2l V-8 on 2040-cars
Douglas, Massachusetts, United States
|
This 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 has been driven with care since I bought the vehicle in 2010 with ~108,300 miles. It has been well taken care of ever since. I have a complete list of maintenance records available since I purchased the vehicle. The truck comes with the title and it passed its last inspection (in January). It has a 5.2L V-8, automatic transmission, extended cab, working 4x4, bed liner, sliding rear window, manual windows/locks, as well as an aftermarket stereo system which I added after I bought the truck (brand new radio and four speakers). Radio has iPod connector in glove box, but it is for older iPods. The front tires are pretty much new, and the rear tires were replaced at ~151,000 miles. The truck has hardly any rust (except for one spot of rust on the rear bumper and a very small amount of rust on the bottom of the doors). The frame is rock solid (hard to come by in New England). The truck has some scratches and dents (the only notable scratch/dent is above the driver's side wheel well, which can be seen in the pictures). The engine is also in great shape, and the transmission is the original and does shift (it is showing its age but still shifts well while driving). The interior is in great shape, except for a couple tears in the cloth, and a crack on the center of the dashboard. There is a small star in the windshield. All gauges work. A/C compressor works but it needs to be charged. The check engine light is not on constantly like it is on many trucks of this age. This truck would make a great first car or work truck! I am selling it because I plan on buying a diesel, so I would love it sold as soon as possible. Mechanical work done to the truck includes:
-New stainless steel brake lines (Very valuable in areas with heavy usage of road salt) -New rocker panels (replaced due to rust). Rockers were painted to match original paint. No rust present. -New thermostat and gasket -New serpentine belt -New water pump and gasket -Two new O2 sensors -New fuel pump At ~151,000 miles: -New steering gear box -New tail pipe/muffler/mid pipe/exhaust clamp -New front brake pads/rotor -New right front wheel bearing -New lower transmission line There are other things, mainly fuel lines and other maintenance things listed in the vehicle's service records. CASH ONLY PLEASE. NO MONEY TRANSFERS. Thank you. |

2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery
Fri, 20 Jun 2014The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.
