1988 Dodge Diplomat Police Package Salon ELE motor Additional Info:

The second owner only put 2,000 miles on it, and I put the remainder. Motor is strong and quiet, no tappet or bearing noises. I should mention the car was converted over to R-134 back in June 2001. It could probably use a charge, but the air does work. It would not take much to get this car looking sharp again, there is a solid car here to work with. No rips in the interior, one crack in the rubber flooring near the accelerator pedal. You really don't see these cars around anymore in any condition. I have put many thousands of dollars into her over the years I've been the owner. New tie rod ends, new gas tank, but original ball joints! I am a Fire Police officer, and have used the car on my calls. The yellow alternating deck lights in the back work, but the matching ones in the grille do not, there is a short somewhere- I took the relay out, it's bracket is located under the hood. I have an extra set of correct front Police torsion bars that will go with the car. Also have a spare trans cooler, and some misc cooler lines. Car has oil, power steering and trans coolers, all work without leaks. Engine rear main seeps oil slightly, which is what you see on the trans bell housing, nothing major...and again typical for these engines. If you have any questions not answered here, please ask! If you need specific body area photos, ask as well.
