1999 Red Dodge Ram 1500, V8, 4wd, 6 1/2 Ft Bed, Xtra Parts, Towing/brake Package on 2040-cars
Lunenburg, Vermont, United States
This is a nice truck with balls. Has an extended cab with a full back seat and a 6 foot bed with liner. Special brake and tow hitch package for hauling heavy things. Sweet Pioneer CD Player as well. Good running truck, as it starts up on a dime and purrs nicely. Just needs a little TLC. Just replaced the speed sensor in the transmission and front upper and lower ball joints as well. Needs a new front brake line, power steering pump hose, a new battery and a tune-up. Comes with a SPARE Transmission (minus the speed sensor), 2 EXTRA full-sized tires and one spare rim, a box of misc. parts (fuel pump assembly and the thermostat cap and gasket.) "about $150 in spare parts". We need something smaller to get around in, so this is why we are willing to part with this beauty $1750 O.B.O. Any questions about the truck, feel free to contact us. Thank you for your interest. This truck books for around $3000 easily and the spare transmission has only about 20,000 miles on it and is a good working tranny. New tranny's go for $1250+ and used ones for about $500-$600. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION IN THE TRUCK. If you don't want the spare transmission, I will keep it with no problems. The brake line and the power steering hose both need to be fixed to drive her away (she will drive away, just won't stop). Or she can be towed/trucked to the destination as well. The buyer assumes ALL responsibilities in getting the truck to their home. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS TRUCK. Grab this up before someone else does!

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily
Wed, 19 Nov 2014In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
