Up for Sale is a 1993 Dodge Diesel with an Allison 545 Transmission.
The truck runs and drives good and I have owned it since 2008. I have been using it to haul my 12ft trailer with 2 lawn mowers for my lawncare business. The original transmission went out in 2011 and I parked it for about a year while I converted it from the crappy dodge tranny to a bulletproof Allison. I mounted an Allison 545 Transmission and in the process I put in a new starter, and serviced the rear end. I had also put a new Alternator and new brakes a few months before the transmission went out.
The Engine has about 360,000 miles but the odometer/speedometer has not worked since I put in the Allison so it currently reads 343,XXX. I normally use a GPS speedometer app on my phone to keep track of speed when going down the highway. I also need to mention that highway driving on this truck is currently not the best because the allison in it is a 4 speed with out overdrive and so I ussually cruise between 55-60mph. I have an overdrive unit that I wanted to put on the truck but it is missing a yoke and I the local transmission shop could not find a yoke for it. (The overdrive unit is 33% previous owner said it was on his motorhome C6 available for $400. Just recover my investment.)
Engine starts and runs well even in cold weather. There is a video of me starting the car in 28 degree weather and that is what you can expect when its cold and not plugged in. The video does not show it but that exhaust has a break somewhere before it comes out. I change the oil every 3,000 Miles but I ussually have to add a quart between oil changes. I believe that it is mostly due to an oil leak because I have noticed drops of oil on the garage floor. I also believe that it only leaks when its running.
After I spent an year converting the truck, I found that the heater blower only works on low now which is not enough heat during the cold months. Before this, the heater blower worked on all speeds but the slider between the hott and the cold side has always been stuck on the red. Truck has never had AC and so that was never an issue because I could simply turn the blower off during the summer months.
The last thing that I can think of is the fact that there is sometimes a click noise that seems to come when turning. I took the truck to a body shop and spent about $1200 on new front end parts that included new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and balancing but that did not fix the click noise. Its there but the mechanics could not find anything wrong in the suspension.
The truck has an alpine cd player and amplifier for entertainment.
Below is a link to see truck running. Unfortunately, the truck had ran about 3 hours ealier so this is not a pure cold start. The cold starts ussually take about 3-5 seconds of cranking. When its warm it fires up right away like a cummins.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack
Thu, 17 Apr 2014While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.
NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
