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.

Mopar rolls out new Scat Packages for Dodge Challenger, Charger and Dart

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a
new cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a remapped ECU. Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.

How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.

Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.
