For sale here is my old Dodge pickup. I have owned this truck for a little over a year and put pver 14,000 miles on it in that time. It has been a very good and dependable little truck. In my estimation, the Dakota is a far better and more useful "small" truck than either a Ranger or an S-10. I drove this truck back and forth between Washington, D.C. and Columbus, OH three different times, hauling a motorcycle twice and had no troubles. The 3.9L engine pulls strong enough to maintain 80mph through the hills of West Virginia. The air conditioner blows cold air; I did recharge the freon once. I recently replaced the oxygen sensor and spark plugs which improved the mileage a bit. I have kept track of mileage, gas usage, and oil changes since I owned the truck and will provide those records to the buyer. It gets around 18mpg.
This era of Dodge was painted with the Chrysler Corporation's first attempt at water-based paint and as you may know, they didn't do so well. These were famous for having big sections of paint peel off, and this truck is no exception. The previous owner covered any exposed primer or metal, however. Granted, I think he used Dutch Boy and a brush, but it protected the metal. There are a couple of very minor surface rust spots, and no through rust ANYWHERE on this truck. It's a very solid candidate for a repaint. I thought about putting a Dogde 360 in it, but I have too many toys and projects right now and don't need any more.
I had been using this truck every day until a couple weeks ago when the transmission started slipping. It slips badly now. The truck will start and run, but can't be driven above an idle speed or the transmission just slips. I have another pickup truck that I can use when I need a truck and a bike to ride when I don't, so I don't need this little truck anymore. This would be a fun project to make a hot rod pickup with. Or, if someone just wants to put a transmission in it I see no reason why it wouldn't go many more thousands of miles... but it's not going to be me! I'm starting the auction at one dollar! So just bid one dollar more than the last guy and it's yours.
I can help to load the truck onto a trailer but that's it. I will not help in shipping beyond handing over the keys. The truck is located in Columbus, OH. Please ask any questions you have prior to bidding and I will do my best to answer them. Best to ask before the weekend as I will be at National Guard Drill Saturday and Sunday....
Thanks for looking, and Happy Bidding!

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat 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 Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The 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.
