1992 Dodge Ram 2500 on 2040-cars
Cottage Grove, Oregon, United States

Up for sale is my custom built 1992 Dodge Cummins Crew cab. It started out as an extended cab long bed truck. In
2001 it was stripped down to the bare frame to begin the build to make it into a crew cab. The chassis was
stretched and reinforced. The cab came from a 1980 forest service truck from California. It was sand blasted down
to bare metal to make sure there was no rust anywhere. The cab and rear doors are from the 1980 truck. Everything
else is 1992. It is titled and vin'd as a 1992. All the 92 interior was installed, along with power seats from a
Ford super duty. The center console is a locking unit from Tuffy. Everything is power, including the rear doors.
During the build a power sunroof from a Mercedes was installed. It does not leak at all. Never has. The truck is
100% rust free. Not a spot anywhere. It has Buckstop bumpers front and rear. I have the brush guard, but it is not
currently installed. Right after the truck was built it was photographed for Buckstops website. I have included
some of those photos. The photos of the truck with the original bed are old photos. I no longer have the bed for
the truck.
The engine is a 12 valve Cummins turbo diesel and the transmission is a 5 speed manual Getrag. It has a Dana 60
front with Chevy crossover steering, and the rear is a disc brake Dana 80 from a 2001 Ram. It has 3.55 gears. Last
fall all the u-joints and brakes were replaced. Clutch is in good shape and everything works flawlessly. It has a
4" lift with near new 35" BFG all terrains on 16.5" aluminum wheels.
Last fall the original engine was replaced with one that had fewer miles. The new engine has 120k, and before it
was installed it got a bunch of new gaskets replaced, the killer dowel pin fixed and new main seals. I also had new
75 hp injectors, and a new Holset HX35 turbo installed at that time. Other than those two items, the engine is
stock. The truck has driven about 2500 miles since all this work was done.
As far as extras, the truck has a straight pipe exhaust, a Pacbrake exhaust brake, onboard air compressor and rear
airbags with controls and gauge inside the cab. The bed has a hidden gooseneck hitch. The bed surface is Trex deck
and it's seen some use. The truck was built for work. The bed was originally built to dump, and still could if a
hydraulic cylinder were to be installed. All the original bed mounts are still there, so putting a factory bed back
on it would be an easy thing to do.
On to the bad. The clearcoat is starting to peel in a few places, mainly on the hood. I did my best to show it in
the pictures. There is one spot of minor damage in the front passenger corner by the bumper where the truck hooked
a fence post. It has minor scratches here and there, but no major damage. Its never been wrecked or in any kind of
accident. Mechanically there are only 2 things wrong with this truck. The cruise control does not work, and the
speedometer bounces around. I'm pretty sure it needs a new cable. It just turned 200k, but with the speedo acting
up, the actual mileage is around 210k.

2014 Dodge Durango priced from $29,795*
Wed, 14 Aug 2013With all the new updates the Dodge Durango is getting for 2014, one thing that Dodge isn't changing on its big SUV is the starting price. Just like the current model year, the 2014 Dodge Durango will be priced from $29,795 (*not including $995 for destination).
This price is for the base SXT model, but the 2014 Durango is also offered in a new Limited trim level (replacing the Crew) as well as the sporty R/T and the luxurious Citadel. The Durango Limited starts at $35,995 (an increase of $800 over the 2013 Crew), while the R/T now starts at $38,995 (up $2,500). The top-of-the-line Durango Citadel will start at $40,995 - an increase of $1,000.
The many improvements made to the 2014 Durango include revised exterior styling, added in-cabin tech and an eight-speed automatic transmission (expected to return better fuel economy). Dodge is saying that the V6 models will get 25 miles per gallon on the highway while V8 models are expected to score 23-mpg highway, but there are no official EPA numbers to report yet. Scroll down for the full press release.
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 patents smarter minivan folding seats
Thu, 02 Jan 2014It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.
