Up for auction is my 1998 Dodge 2500 Extended Cab 4x4 pickup. Truck has the NV4500 5 speed trannsmission. 3.55 gears with a posi rear end. I got the truck back in 2010 and have only put about 7k miles on it in 3 years. I bought it from a guy in Stephens City VA. And he said he bought it local.

I don't need this much truck anymore so I am selling it. Red Oak performance injectors. S+B Intake with 4" exhaust. Timing is bumped to 15.5 degrees and fuel plate was cut by Lloyd at Mid Atlantic Diesel Performance. As soon as I got it back from him I put in a Valair 13" Kevlar/Ceramic clutch with upgraded hydraulics. Ranch Hand Bullnose bumper.Replaced front control arm bushings with urethane same with motor mounts.

New tranny mount. New heater core. 4x4 Posi-lok kit so you don't have to worry about it going into 4 wheel drive. Pull the cable and pull the lever and it goes in everytime. New fuel hoses and removed fuel heater. New shut off solenoid and relay. Boost and pyro gauges. Adjusted the valves last summer and new valve cover gaskets. New brake pads last summer. 305/70/16 Kumho Road Venture AT tires have 90% left on front about 60% on rear. New track bar so no shimmy. You can go down the road at 90mph if you want to. Overfilled the tranny with synthetic NV4500 fluid. Lifetime alignment through Firestone. Leveling kit with sway bar kit are new in the box and go with the truck. Also have the stock air filter and valve cover piece. New crank sensor, water pumpp bearing and fan shroud last summer.

A/C has a leak in a line but will hold a charge for amonth or so. Blows cold when systenm is full. I loaded system with dye last summer but never fixed the leak. Power windows and locks work fine. I put in low mile power seats but the only work forward and back, probably need to wire them to work all the way around. Steam cleaned all seats and carpet last summer.  I know I am forgetting some stuff. Truck has always gotten whatever it needed and never has been worked hard. The most I ever pulled with it was about a 6000# car trailer. The only rust on the truck is in the pictures and looks worse than it really is.

Overall a good truck that will probably go another 250k miles as-is if you keep it up.

No reserve.

2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat revving is sonic bacon

Fri, 23 May 2014

This is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and we're sure that by now, you know its stats, including over 600 horsepower from its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8. What, pray tell, does that blown engine sound like, though?
At least judging on the sonic strength of this video, it's very, very dirty. Honestly, it sounds unlike anything that's come out of the Chrysler Group in a long time, if ever. It's loud, almost brutally so, with a bark that few road-going V8s can match.
Of course, you should be the final judge here. Take a look and a listen at the two videos below, one of which comes from our friends at Cars.com that provides a nice look under the hood, and then let us know what you think of the Hellcat's singing voice in Comments.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show

Fri, 24 May 2013

As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
