This 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 has been driven with care since I bought the vehicle in 2010 with ~108,300 miles. It has been well taken care of ever since. I have a complete list of maintenance records available since I purchased the vehicle. The truck comes with the title and it passed its last inspection (in January). It has a 5.2L V-8, automatic transmission, extended cab, working 4x4, bed liner, sliding rear window, manual windows/locks, as well as an aftermarket stereo system which I added after I bought the truck (brand new radio and four speakers). Radio has iPod connector in glove box, but it is for older iPods. The front tires are pretty much new, and the rear tires were replaced at ~151,000 miles. The truck has hardly any rust (except for one spot of rust on the rear bumper and a very small amount of rust on the bottom of the doors). The frame is rock solid (hard to come by in New England). The truck has some scratches and dents (the only notable scratch/dent is above the driver's side wheel well, which can be seen in the pictures). The engine is also in great shape, and the transmission is the original and does shift (it is showing its age but still shifts well while driving). The interior is in great shape, except for a couple tears in the cloth, and a crack on the center of the dashboard. There is a small star in the windshield. All gauges work. A/C compressor works but it needs to be charged. The check engine light is not on constantly like it is on many trucks of this age. This truck would make a great first car or work truck! I am selling it because I plan on buying a diesel, so I would love it sold as soon as possible. Mechanical work done to the truck includes:

-New stainless steel brake lines (Very valuable in areas with heavy usage of road salt)
-New rocker panels (replaced due to rust). Rockers were painted to match original paint. No rust present.
-New thermostat and gasket
-New serpentine belt
-New water pump and gasket
-Two new O2 sensors
-New fuel pump

At ~151,000 miles:
-New steering gear box
-New tail pipe/muffler/mid pipe/exhaust clamp
-New front brake pads/rotor
-New right front wheel bearing
-New lower transmission line

There are other things, mainly fuel lines and other maintenance things listed in the vehicle's service records. CASH ONLY PLEASE. NO MONEY TRANSFERS.
Thank you.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
