I have decided to sell my 2003 Dodge Ram SLT CREW cab ( 4 door ) with the rare 5.9 liter V8 engine. It has been a secondary vehicle for me and just used to run to Home Depot occasionally. I've decided to sell it and get a smaller more fuel friendly truck.  It has 164,400 miles, an automatic tranny, pw, pl , cruise, tilt, cd player with iPHONE charger/dock built in. It has the 4wd 4x4 and is black with dark interior. There is also a cold air intake, aftermarket dual exhaust with a nice rumble, side steps, and a front leveling kit. it has the factory 20" chrome rims with good tread on the tires. If you are familiar with the 2003-2006 Dodge Rams than you are aware that they ALL have the common rust over the wheel wells as well as had an oxidation problem on some of their paints. The truck did have oxidation fading from the sun on the hood, roof and parts of the bed, so last year I had those areas sanded and prepped with black primer as well as did a repair on the quarters, but some of the rust has come through again. It never bothered me in the primer, but if it did, you could just give it a fresh coat of paint. it has a bed liner and a TRAC RAC. The Rhode Island inspection sticker expires at the end of September. I installed a Brand New Battery last night (9/14/14).  The 4x4 work great.

The a/c compressor went bad beginning of last winter, so I just had my mechanic bypass it with a smaller belt and it runs fine. you could replace it or just leave it.

this would be a perfect work truck, first vehicle, or a second car for running to the dump. Due to the age and mileage, this is being sold with NO WARRANTY.

Quirks:
the check engine light randomly comes on for a few days, then goes out for a few weeks. It never seems to affect the truck so I haven't bothered with it.

the serpentine belt might need to be adjusted as it occasionally squeals at start-up for a minute or so until its warmed up. Doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally. 

the hood release lever under the hood (not the release inside under the dash, that works fine) broke of before i bought it, so the previous owner just adapted a lever behind the front grille and it works fine.

The truck runs good with no major issues that im aware of.

I will add better pics including interior tomorrow.

there is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit due at end of auction.  I will not ship the truck, but will assist the buyer any way i can

On Sep-20-14 at 09:39:44 PDT, seller added the following information:

 Just to clarify, this is a RAM 1500.  I reserve the right to end the auction early, as It is also available locally for sale.


On Sep-22-14 at 20:00:15 PDT, seller added the following information:

9/22/2014 UPDATE: Just wanted to ad that the truck also has a factory tow package with the hitch as well as the plug built into the bumper.  I never towed anything with this truck and I don't believe the previous owner ever did either.

Also, I have a Clear Rhode Island title in my name.

Mopar '14 teased, returns to Challenger

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Every year, Mopar selects one special vehicle from the Chrysler portfolio and creates its own, one-off, special edition. Previously, there was the Mopar '13 Dart, '12 300, '11 Charger and the '10 Challenger, and for 2014, this teaser image shows that the company will be giving the unique treatment to Dodge's muscle coupe yet again.
Mopar has not revealed any details about its '14 Challenger, though the brand's president and CEO, Pietro Gorlier, says that "This limited-edition ride is for muscle-car fans who love high octane and customizable performance." All we know is, it's white, has some blue stripes, and a black (or carbon fiber) rear spoiler.
We'll know more when the Mopar '14 Challenger is revealed at the SEMA show in early November. In the meantime, click the image above to check out the teaser in high resolution, and have a look below for Chrysler's official press blast.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
