The Allpar Blunder Contest is now an ongoing system, and it’s also open to people who have pointed out errors in the past. The rules are simple: point out a blunder, and if we agree, we will reward you with a forum membership upgrade... and if you PM or email a United States or Canadian postal address, Allpar decals.
This does NOT cover mistakes made in the forums, and any prizes are awarded at Allpar’s discretion.
Just noticed this this morning. On your 1994 to 2001, you include 2500 and 3500 which went on that body style to 2002, but on your second engine graph you went to specific model year engines, but you kept the first graph heading of 1994 numbers.
Been reading on the V10 cause it keeps getting compared to the 360 and the viper and they are 3 totally different engines, although similar.
I'm not sure I understand the problem now, though...
Is it that the 2500/3500 didn't change from that body style until 2002? The reason the chart lists “to 2001” is because, ha ha, I can’t find the 2002 press books.
Yes. That is it. There is a graph stating the power and cubic inches etc. And the first one is titled 1994 numbers. In the second one it is more specific on the years showing up grades, but still shows 1994 numbers as the heading.
Thanks. I do alot of reading of info about these trucks, and Allpar.com always has the most consistent and well wrote information. My son wants to know if you have had a chance to update the Rammunition and Raminator page. He is getting excited to see them again and he keeps telling me they don't look lie that anymore. Just curious. Awesome job done by all here
The section; "1961 - 1977 Chrysler Newports: the big, "affordable" cars. At the end of the article, it states that the Newport moved to the R-body in 1978. Actually the C-body remained through 1978 and the New Yorker, Newport, and the newly named Dodge St. Regis were on the R-body beginning in 1979. Thanks.
In the second paragraph, it states, "Launched in 1988..." IIRC, the 3.9 V6 was introduced for the 1987 model year, which would have made the launch year 1986.
Earlier in the paragraph, it states that the 3.9 was the Dakota's base engine. SFAIK, the base Dakota engine through at least the '96 model year was a 4-cylinder, displacing 2.2 liters when introduced, later upgraded to 2.5 liters.
In the second paragraph, it states, "Launched in 1988..." IIRC, the 3.9 V6 was introduced for the 1987 model year, which would have made the launch year 1986.
That's right. Send me a PM with your choice and postal address. For Lido, too.
Fixed Newport.
browens, fixed that. I might exclude typos from further entries, because there is an ongoing spell-check project which should fix most of them. But send me your postal address and first and second c hoices...
The first sentence under the Entering Chrysler heading has him fired from Ford in 1979. Though he was thought to have been fired in early 1978, he was actually demoted; he joined Chrysler later that year.
It would make sense but I don't always have enough images or enough text, so they get strewn around. I've been trying to reduce that issue on newer or revised pages.
Section On 1954 FFPW page it states there is a 3 speed transmission and a payload of ~8,000 lbs. My 1954 C1-PW6-126 has a 4 speed non-syncho transmission and a rated payload of 9,500 lbs.
The light duty 4x4 pickups came out in 1957. All FFPW's (1946-1972) had a 4 speed transmission from the factory.
Not absolutely sure about this one, since these were special vehicles, but toward the end, a chart states that the standard carburetor was the Carter AFB. The AFB was standard on the Hemi, but it's describing a 440, which was equipped with an AVS from the 1968 to 1971 model years. However, the cars were built more for racing than street use, so it's possible that Mopar installed an AFB, though the intake manifold would have needed adjusting for the different bolt pattern. Before calling it an error, more research is needed.
I should add that I like the articles that I've read on allpar. The stray minor errors don't prevent them from being informative and well-written.
Wow! A reference. Thanks. Carsin360, you may not be expecting prizes, but feel free to claim one.
Scrounge, I'll check on that - thanks. Any figures like that are likely to come from Chrysler but sometimes they had errors too. Pick something out “just in case.”
First set of mailings went out yesterday, via media mail so they may take a while to show up.
Scrounge and Roger - got 'em. Claim your prizes, please. (Roger, you're second in line so please choose two.)
