I have an old 85 Dodge Crew Cab Air Force long bed truck that has been converted to a Cummins 5.9L 12v 4X4 5 speed w/3.54 gears. The truck runs great. I have had a number of 12v Cummins trucks over the years, and I can easily say this one is the best running one I have had. It has the Banks intercooler setup on it. Was told it has a high torque clutch assembly in it. Have hauled a couple heavy loads with it, never had an issue. Not sure of any other mods. Appears to be the stock Holset turbo. Maybe has a fuel pin, but not sure. It pulls so dang well, I haven't wanted to mess with anything. The lower doors, and outer rockers need rust repair. The inner rockers, cab mounts, floor, etc... are all solid. Speedo/odometer quit working. Shows 194xxx. Probably over 210k. It has a P/S leak, and an exhaust leak. The only reason I am selling this truck is I planned on using this to pull our family race car. It's really my perfect idea of a truck, but... it's almost October, and we have been out racing twice. The second time was last weekend. The truck did the 500 mile round trip like nothing was behind it. The race car on the other hand broke it's driveshaft, and transmission. I am not sure i'll even be racing next year. I just don't use the truck as I had envisioned. I don't need the truck just to drive back and forth to work, even if it is cool. The wheels and tires on the truck are going on my standard cab pickup. The truck will have steel wheels on it. If your looking at this truck, it's because you know what it is, not because of the wheels and tires. Truck is being sold at no reserve, You bid, you win, you own it. All the hard work is done on this one. Hang some doors and rockers on it, tidy up a couple small details, and you have a really nice, desirable 4 door Cummins truck. Be the envy of all 1st generation Cummins truck owners. Have one with four doors! I would, and have driven this truck anywhere and everywhere. Email with any questions. Thanks Derek

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?
2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.
Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
