2002 4x4 Extended Cab Pickup 2-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Newton, New Jersey, United States
This is a 2002 Dodge Dakota 4 wheel drive in great shape. Carfax shows this truck as being dealer serviced religiously every 3000 miles at Franklin Sussex Automall in Sussex, NJ all its life almost until 105,000 miles, including oil changes and transfer case flushes as per factory recommendations! As we all know, this is almost unheard of these days. I recently had a full service oil change and they said all fluids are the right color and appear to not be leaking. It has very minor surface rust in a few typical areas. It has about 109,800 miles thereabouts( I still drive it about 3 miles to work every day). I just got a NJ inspection sticker good until August 2016. I just had all the bearings done (front wheels, and entire rebuild on differential. pinion gear, carrier bearings, seals, etc. inside and outside)... The tires still have a lot of life left in them, as shown in pictures. There's a small surface chip in windshield on passenger side but not in drivers line of sight so it's hardly noticeable. There is some surface rust under drivers side rear turn signal, and the fenders and rockers are in great shape. see picture of bedrail on drivers side and you will see a few dents, but that's about it. Truck runs great overall, come and take a test drive if you like. This truck has a 3.9 V6 which is a strong running engine and it kicks over instantly and idles evenly right where it should. Most Dodge mechanics will agree that the 3.9 V6 is much more desirable than the 3.7 which seems to be prone to mechanical issues. The CD player works great, truck runs and drives excellent. Steering box is tight and truck does not drift, tires are in good condition (Also see pictures!) Front brake pads are new and when I had the rear rebuilt, I had the mechanic put a new drum brake spring and tensioner kit in both sides... The rear shoes looked like they have tons of miles left on them. Windows are factory tinted, and it has a center rear slide window. Truck also has a bedliner, cruise control, AC (blows cold, recently recharged). The interior is in great shape- Windows, power mirrors, door latches and power locks all work as they should, with no wear spots or rips in upholstery. Carpet is in great shape, not much wear on floor under mats on either side or no stains or tears. Please feel free to contact me for any additional information regarding this truck, or to arrange a time to come see it or have a mechanic check it out. This truck is being sold as is, with no warranties either expressed or implied by the seller. It is the responsibility of the buyer to view the truck or have it checked out by a representative agent of the buyer at the buyer's cost. Vehicle delivery and all sales taxes are the sole responsibility of the buyer, The Newton, N.J. DMV is 5 miles from my house and you can get t-tags or register it there. E-Bay has vehicle shipping options. Payment of 250.00 into Paypal is required within 48 hours of auction end. At this time we can arrange for pick up or delivery. The remaining balance to be paid in cash or bank check within 7 days of auction end. I will work with you on this last part if you need extra time for special circumstances, within reason of course. I will not release title until payment (final payment) clears my account. This truck runs great and has very few issues, I know anyone who sees it and drives it will absolutely love it. THANK YOU, and good luck bidding! RAY |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Dodge 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.
Watch this Dodge Viper get clawed to death
Tue, 07 Jan 2014There's a scene in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig's Agent 007 is captured by villain Le Chiffre, played by Mads Mikkelsen. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in a scene that is rather difficult to watch (especially for blokes) and impossible to describe on these digital pages (Google at your own risk). This video is the automotive equivalent of the Casino Royale torture scene.
It shows a Dodge Viper - a late, first-generation GTS judging by the center-exit exhausts - getting assaulted by a giant piece of heavy equipment. The large claw shows no mercy on the V10-powered sports car, rending its muscular curves into pieces and then running it over, just for good measure. It's a painful video to watch (and hear!), made worse because we don't know what the Viper did to deserve such a fate. About a third of the way through the video, the cameraman indicates that the man with the claw is a new operator from Chrysler, and it appears there may be some fire damage, but beyond that, we don't have much to go on.
Scroll down for the video but be warned, it isn't for the faint of heart.
