1990 Dodge W250 Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.9l Cummins First Gen Diesel on 2040-cars
Providence, Utah, United States

This Truck is in overall good condition. I never thought in a million years that I would sell this truck because it is my baby, but circumstances have lead to my decision to sell it. It is not new or perfect by any-means. It will be sold as is. The motor runs amazing and I get really good fuel economy(the best is 23 mpg). The 1990 Cummins did not come with an inter-cooler. I had one installed from a 1992 dodge, so it does have an inter-cooler. While I was at it I had an HX-35 turbo installed, which a turbo that has a smaller fresh air side and a larger exhaust side. The turbo and inter-cooler were not installed to race and hot rod the truck, they were only installed for performance purposes only(better fuel economy, etc.) While the intercoller was being installed, I had the front cover of the motor removed and had the killer dowel pin fixed as a preventative measure. It had not worked itself out at all, but I had the washer put on it to hold it in place, all new seals were put on the front of the motor while this was done.
This truck will fire right up on a cold morning. In Utah it will get below zero, and the manifold heater works great and it will start right up on sub zero days. No cranking on anything. It is amazing how good it starts. This truck has been babied its whole life. I bought it from an older gentlemen that received it from his father as part of an inheritance. So it has been family owned its hole life. I have a note book with service records of all of the new parts that have been installed. A new high perfomance clutch was installed at 150,000 miles. The front and rear brakes and rotors were installed along with rear wheel seals, there is a history of all of the oil changes and there has been a few overhead valve adjustments. The brakes stop fine and everything, but they are not perfect. Maybe the front rotors could be turned to make it smoother or something, but they are fine. The paint looks good but it is not perfect either. There are some surface rust spots around the wheel wells, including under the cab on the drivers side door there is a hole the size of a quarter. The frame only has minimal surface rust there is no major rust. There are no leaks from the drivetrain. The only leak comes from the power steering gear box. This is a slow leak and it has leaked ever since i bought it. My intentions were to fix it, but the leak is so minimal that I just top off the power steering fluid everytime I change the oil and that has worked fin. It has a straight pipe exhaust, I do have the muffler somewhere if you would like that. It sounds good though, it is a real head turner. I get compliment all the time, and have guys offer to buy this truck from me everywhere I go. It has not pulled a lot of heavy loads in its life, although it is very capable. There is a trailer brake controller installed under the dash. I put the fifth wheel ball in the bed so I could pull a 5th wheel camp trailer and horse trailer occasionally. It was never abused when it was used to pull, but it pulls great and will pull anything. The interior is a great shape. The seat has had a cover on it its whole life. I took it off. There is a little bit of cracking in the side(not on the top where you sit) of the seat on the drivers side. Some of the plastic trim around the headliner has some cracking also. It is nothing major and it has been there the whole time I have owned it which is about 5 years. Whoever ends up with this old dodge will be one lucky individual and will get a hell of of a good truck that will last a really long time. I really hate to see it go. Here is a Video of the truck running(it is a cold start morning): Ebay will not let me post the link, but my youtube username is craigcanski so look it up on youtube |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn't aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover's normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT's price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package's 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
