was introduced by Dodge in March 1978, following the release of such
self-proclaimed “adult toys” as the
Dodge Warlock. The Warlock had been essentially a
showy truck, with the fat tires, bucket seats, and wood trim: The L’il Red
Truck was to be the “Red Warlock,” but they changed the name along the way. Engineered for speed, the Little Red
Truck was built on the short-wheelbase (115 inch) Utiline-style half-ton D150
with a 6,050 pound gross vehicle weight, but the real attraction was the high
performance 360 V8
breathing through a four-barrel carburetor, pushing The L’il Red Truck used the standard
short-wheelbase stepside pickup, a relatively low-weight truck, and dropped in
the modded 360 V8 and A-727 transmission with a 2500 stall converter. The twin
stacks were a good 2.5 inches in diameter; the rear axle was a 3.55 Sure Grip,
and the Goodyear’s were GR60 in front and a generous LR60 in the rear, — not
tall, but wide. Front wheels were 15x7; rear wheels were 15x8. |

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill
Wed, 10 Sep 2014According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
