This is "The" original Dodge Cummins pickup. It is the very first year, and a very rare single rear wheel D350 (1 Ton) 2WD pickup. I have yet to see another D350 like it on the road. This truck is bone stock and original in nearly all areas. It even has the original Chrysler premium sound system option with cassette player along with the original owner manuals. The truck was repainted about 8 years ago in urethane, and looks very good as you can see. There are many blemishes on this truck as it has been well used over the years. I have had it for most of it's life, and I love this old girl. The original 12 Valve non intercooled diesel is in it, and all that has been done is the water pump, and the injector pump has been stepped up a bit. This thing has some serious power. The manual 5 speed shifts excellent, and the clutch was replaced around 180,000 miles. It has a Dana 70 rear end with 354 gears. I recently changed the carrier bearings. The suspension is pretty much original except for shocks, and brakes. The front rotors have always chattered under heavy braking, and I could never figure out how to get rid of it. The AC works good, and it is the original R12 system never had issues other than adding some every few years. The tires are like new all around and very good quality heavy truck tires. I towed a camper trailer with a 5th wheel hitch. It is fully functional with the plug and trailer brake control. The hitch is the old style non rocker as you can see, but it tows like a dream and gets 15 MPG with the camper on it. This truck gets phenominal mileage. I have a 2005 cummins with a 24V motor, and it eats way more diesel than this old girl. She has clear title, and has had no accidents. There is a heavy Draw tite bumper hitch receiver as well with the 4 prong trailer plug. This is a longbed pickup with a bed liner. The 5th wheel hitch is bolted down through cut outs in the liner. There is no rust anywhere I have seen in this truck. It is a California/Oregon truck as far as I know. It has a slider rear window that works, but the lock is broken. The seat has a hole where the driver sits. The rear main seal drips a little oil on the garage floor. I have always garaged this truck, although the rubber seals for the driver and passenger windows are cracked and dried out. All the glass is good with no cracks. The front bumper has a crease in it where I hooked a stump in revers and pulled it back slightly. It still look fine, but a new bumper would look pretty. The grille is excellent in all respects except for a could little dings and scrapes in the metal stripping. There is a silver dollar size dent near the passenger side read wheel well that is barely visible. There are some scratches I noted in the photos the best I could, but they could easily be touched up. All the hardware works for the doors and windows. Everything is manual crank old school which I always liked. The driver door hinge is pretty tired, but still closes well after all these miles. The tailgate is absolutely beautiful. The outside latch has been partially disable so I reach in the bed to drop the tailgate. The rear bumper is very nice chromed diamond plate factory. The drive shaft with carrier was freshened up with all OEM parts at 200K miles. The truck drives very well overall. I has a little vibration at highway speed, but mostly due to the big original steel wheels. The engine starts right up every time.I put a factory new OEM starter in it a year ago. When it is cold it puffs a little blue for a minute then it is all black from there. Remember it has alot of miles, but there is another 300K in this truck. You will never kill this engine. It is impossible. Ask questions if I missed anything.

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
