1978 Dodge Power Wagon Truck W150 4x4 440 Auto on 2040-cars
Grapevine, Texas, United States
I'm selling my 1978 W-150 Power Wagon. It's a full time four wheel drive, auto, long bed, 440ci. It has Power Steering, Power Brakes, and A/C (not working). This is an extremely nice power wagon for its age. The paint is an 8 out of 10, interior is in decent shape and the undercarriage is very nice with no rust. The engine is very strong and sounds good with a mild cam. It has a fifth wheel ball hitch in the bed and is rhino lined. I've been driving this truck on the weekends and it runs great. Thanks and good luck bidding. On May-05-14 at 05:44:15 PDT, seller added the following information: Due to the number of questions on my truck, I have decided to post more information on the condition. Approx. 120k miles on the truck. The truck was painted and the engine was rebuilt approx. 10 years ago. It has about 10K miles on it since it was painted. The engine was built by the previous owner and he spent quite a bit on it. He said they put a mild cam, forged pistons, headers, etc. Steering is loose like an old truck and the windshield wipers don't work. (motor stopped working) As you can see in the picture, the truck is set up for dual tanks. The rear tank was removed when I got the truck, so there is only one tank in it now. Are you willing to work with one of the e-bay shippers ? Yes, I'll meet a shipper if needed. Title is clear, Paypal, Cashier check, or wire transfer preferred. More pics will be posted. Thanks On May-06-14 at 11:05:57 PDT, seller added the following information: I apologize for any confusion, but this truck is a W-200, 3/4 Ton. NOT a W-150 as stated previously. The truck has the original axles, trans, etc.. as far as I know. I have included pictures of the undercarriage and rear axle for reference. Thanks, |

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact
Fri, 08 Feb 2013For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
Ron Burgundy calls Durango a 'terrible car,' yet his ads help sales climb by 59% [w/videos]
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Ron Burgundy was put on this planet to do one thing: to read the news. If that ever falls through, though, the womanizing, scotch-drinking anchorman could have a great career just as a Dodge salesman. Bloomberg points out that sales of the 2014 Dodge Durango have rocketed up 59 percent in the first month of Chrysler's funny new ad campaign (which began in early October). But then again, the entire year has been strong for the big SUV, with year-over-year sales increases in the double and even triple digit percentages - including an increase of 117 percent in August.
Of course, the Durango has also received a wealth of new content and a freshened look for 2014 in addition to the Burgundy campaign, and that has to be helping close sales, too. Whether or not the spots themselves are leading to more sales may be a moot point, since they are definitely getting plenty of attention. Almost two months into the marketing tie-up between Dodge and the movie Anchorman 2, Dodge's YouTube videos have received well over seven million views. More than just YouTube shorts and television commercials, the Durango has even received late-night attention, including when Will Ferrell showed up in character as Ron Burgundy on Conan earlier this week.
In the interview, he calls the Durango a "terrible car" that "cracked in half," a joke that probably had Dodge ad execs squirming uncomfortably in their Barcaloungers. Scroll down to watch the Conan interview as well as some of our favorite Burgundy-pitched Durango ads. And there's still plenty of time to "touch" Ron to win a new Durango.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
