Up for auction is my 1986 dodge ramcharger 4x4.Before i get started the mileage on the odometer reads 60852 but considering that its 27 years old i figured that it has at least 100,000 miles on it so i just added a 1 in front of the 60852. OK, from the pictures you can see that this is not your ordinary looking ramcharger. I had cut the back end off and moved the tailgate forward to make it a short bed pickup.I didnt really have a need for a 4 wheel drive station wagon. This has been a really good truck to me, but im 55 and starting to downsize.I already have my 16 foot trailer listed for sale on another auction and without that i really wont have a need for this truck anymore.This is still my daily driver.There is a real lot to cover on this old truck so rather than going into long details i figure that i will just list all the good then all the bad and you can take it from there. The good as of last fall, 2 new front brake calipers,2 new front brake hoses,new front brake pads,all new U-joints including the ones on the front axle,battery is a little over a year old,starter is a little over a year old,Tires are about 2 years old with lots of tread left plus i have an extra set of 4 tires with no wheels that are in good shape that i am including,all 4 gas shocks are 2 years old,rear brakes 2 years old,tranny filter and fluid 1 year ago,transmission is good and strong,transfer case is good,driveshafts are in great shape,front and rear ends are good,new sway bar bushings 2 years ago,both front outer tie rod ends 2 years ago.frame is solid.I also have a couple of new ball joints and a new drag link for the truck that i never installed because there is nothing wrong with the ones on the truck.I just got a great deal on all the parts and figured i would need them eventually,anyways i am including them as well.There are also a set of 2000 lb adjustable overload springs on the rear and 1000 lb adjustable overload springs on the front,yeah when the truck is empty it rides pretty darn stiff but when towing 5 to 6000 lbs behind it those springs make it steady as a rock with now sway at all.Truck is also equiped with a very large tranny cooler. OK, now for the not so good,First of all as far as the body she looks pretty rough but it really isnt that bad,yeah there are some rust holes here and there but the body is very repairable (see pictures)More pictures are available upon request,just be specific on what areas you want pictures of. the engine is getting tired,it still runs fine and has good oil pressure and has never failed to start,even on the coldest winter mornings and towed my 16 foot trailer with no problem even when loaded with another truck on it or a massive load of firewood.But she is starting to burn a little oil and im sure the compression is getting lower than it should be but it doesnt knock or rattle so it would be a good engine for either a core or re-build.I do have another complete 318 used crate engine with only 30,000 miles on it that i am also including with this sale.I was going to put it in this summer but i just purchased a fixer upper house that is going to keep me busy for years to come and i just wont have the time to do the engine change.All the glass is good but the power windows dont work,the driver side window is unhooked from the regulator and i have a wood wedge that i remove to slide the window up and down.Driver side vent window cant be opened because the hinge on it is bad,if you open it ,it may just fall out.Ac doesnt work,cruise doesnt work,driver side inner door handle is broken but it does open from the inside.Door locks dont work,drivers side door panel missing,seats are in good shape but are not original.good spare tire,fabric on headliner is gone,dashboard is in good shape,horn works when it wants to.All lights and wipers work,heater control is stuck in the on position.Truck has a clear Michigan title.Well i guess that about it.Please feel free to ask all the questions you want, i will answer them promptly, usually within 30 minutes.To sum it up, even with the tired engine i still wouldnt hesitate to drive this truck anywhere, of course you cant push her 70 and 80 miles and hour anymore but if you keep it to around 55 to 60 mph you might even squeeze another year out of the engine before you need to change it.This would make a great truck for up north at someones camp or for trail riding or maybe even to restore.Well thanks for looking and have a great day.
Winning bidder to pay a $100.00 Non-Refundable deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in cash at time of pickup.Truck is to be picked up within 7 days of auction end unless previous arrangements have been made prior to bidding.

Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."

Dodge CEO and Gas Monkey Garage dissect the 10-second Challenger Hellcat

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

So far, whenever we've seen the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 707-horsepower, supercharged Hellcat V8, the muscle car has been smoking its tires. Dodge is finally proving that the SRT can do more than ruin perfectly good sets of rubber, though. In it's latest video, company CEO Tim Kuniskis hands the Hellcat off to the guys from Gas Monkey Garage to show how quickly the automaker's most powerful model can make it down the drag strip.
Of course, the only fitting contender to race against Dodge's latest top muscle car is its grandpa - a Hemi-powered 1971 Challenger, in this case. Before getting to the main event, the hosts also show off some of the SRT's unique features like the blanks in the grille that feed the intercoolers. We'll go ahead and spoil that the Hellcat makes its pass in the 10-second range, and the video admits the tires on the production version would take just a touch longer to cover the quarter-mile. However, you have to watch film to see just how quick it actually goes. Scroll down to see a classic example of American muscle drag racing against its modern legacy.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.
