Up for sale is a 1997 Dodge Dakota with 105,XXX miles. This truck is a 4x4 pickup with a V6 3.9 liter engine and 5 speed manual transmission - sport edition. Cloth interior that is in fair shape for its age. Truck comes with an aftermarket CD player. Starts up every morning without issue and has cold A/C for these hot muggy days. It has a 3" body lift with 31 X 10.50 R15 BFG All Terrains. The body has dings all over it - no large dents that keep you from operating the truck though. The paint is very faded and there is a significant amount of surface rust on the roof. There are also spots of surface rust scattered in different spots on the body. No part of the outer body is rusting out - just surface rust. There is a spot inside the bottom of the bed that is rusting through - it doesn't weaken the bed though. Manual windows, manual locks, rear window has a sliding back glass.

This is a great truck for work or play - would be a great hunting truck!

The good:

COLD A/C
Starts up every time - runs smooth.
Comes with Diamond Plate tool box.
Aftermarket CD Player
VA State Inspection valid thru 10/13.

The following has just been replaced:

Front brakes
Front rotors
Front brake hoses
Battery
Fresh Oil Change

The following has been replaced in the last 5,000 miles:

Exhaust - new muffler and tailpipe from muffler back.
2 inner tie rod ends
Front End Alignment
Rear U-Joint
Serpentine Belt
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug wires
Cap & Rotor
PCV Valve
Serpentine belt tensioner

The bad:

Headliner sagging - as shown in pic.
Manifold leak - sounds like it's on the right side.
Small rattle towards front of motor - no idea what this is, it doesn't sound like its in the block and doesn't really increase when you rev it up. The best way to describe this sound is rattle instead of a tap - water pump is not leaking. It has actually done this for years and hasn't created any issues - sometimes it doesn't make a noise. Just wanted to note it. I've recorded a video that seems to exacerbate the sound but gives and idea of the pitch - http://youtu.be/F_AZZ5T9J-4
Does not go into 4X4 low. If you disconnect the linkage it will go into 4X4 low. Whoever put the body lift on before I received the truck didn't properly extend the 4X4 shifter so it hits the body before it gets into low range. It's not that the low range doesn't work - the throw is just off on the shifter. It needs to be taken off cut and re-welded to modify the throw in order to clear the body.
Condition of paint.
Crack in windshield - as shown in pic.
Spare tire carrier under bed is broken. Spare tire will still come with truck in back of bed.

I've made every attempt to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability. Please let me know if you have any additional questions before bidding and I'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking.

Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
