    Door Adjustment?

    Just installed new fenders. Passenger side went on great but driver's side is giving me trouble. I've figured out what's not lining up - the driver's side door is too far forward, against the fender. All other body panels are lined up .There are many signs that the door needs to move back...

    Can You Paint an ECU/ECM?

    Hello I'm installing new fenders on my truck. I have a computer mounted to the inside of the fender to run my 5.7l hemi. I will obviously be transferring the ecm over to the new fender. My question is - can I paint/coat the ecm? I believe it's made with an aluminum casing, which is showing...

    Severe Driveline Vibration

    Trying to locate the source of a bad vibration at certain speeds, around 100km/h. It's only present when I let off the throttle at that speed, goes away when I'm on the throttle. The vibration can also be felt for a second when I apply throttle at slower speeds, almost in sync with when the...

    Need Help - Rear Brake Job

    I've unfortunately confirmed that I have 8.75 backing plates. Can anyone confirm or deny that they will be compatible with my 8.25 rear end/axles? Specifically concerned about the axle bolt pattern.

    Need Help - Rear Brake Job

    Thanks crazy wolf. You always have the answers. This is a pic of the backing plates I have. Ive mentioned before I have a 8.25 Chrysler rear end. These plates I have appear to have an extra bolt hole compared to the ones on my truck. It's the bolt hole directly under where the axle goes thru...

    Need Help - Rear Brake Job

    I'm aware of removing the diff cover to access the c clip. My concern is, is there a way to F it up? For example is there a chance the c clip won't index properly if I install it wrong during reassembly

    Need Help - Rear Brake Job

    Is there a how-to thread or article I can read on replacing the backing plates on a 8.25 rear end? I will be doing it myself and wouldn't mind a few pointers. I can't seem to find anything except for drum & shoe replacement (which doesn't require removal of the axles)

    Need Help - Rear Brake Job

    I kept the stock 727 trans. It only required a different flexplate to mate it to the hemi. I had somewhat of a build thread when I did it about a year and a half ago. I can't locate it right now for some reason .

    Need Help - Rear Brake Job

    I'm going to be replacing my rear brakes this week. Drums, shoes, hardware, and backing plates .I understand that I need to take the axles out to replace the backing plates. Is there any additional parts I should have ready? Do the axle seals get disturbed during the tear down? Any other special...

    Any WeatherTech-like Floor Mats?

    I will be applying POR15 to the bare steel floor then laying Dynomat and then laying the carpet. I'm looking for high sided floor mats that go ontop of the carpet. The only mats I find are the standard flat ones that lets water run right off of them

    Any WeatherTech-like Floor Mats?

    I'm about to replace the carpet in my truck. It has been down all winter while I get it prepped and repairing some long overdue problems. Obviously weathertech doesn't make mats for first gen dodge trucks - are there any brands out there that make an all weather, high sided, molded floor mat...

    Looking for transmission mount

    I found a part number for the mount, but I cannot find it available anywhere. Supposedly the product number is 4494475 but anyone who lists it says it's no longer available. Any other options?

    Looking for transmission mount

    I need to replace the transmission mount near the rear of the transmission. Is it sold as a full cross member piece or can I just replace the mount (is it bolt on?)? 84 d150 with 727 .

    Broken Leaf Spring

    Hey guys I just finished getting my entire floor replaced in my 84. As well as rockers and inner rockers. It was getting fairly soft underneath the cab and figured I should take care of it before it collapsed underneath me one day. My next item on the list is to address a broken leaf spring...

    Cant find plate lights ANYWHERE!

    I've been on the hunt for license plate lights WITH the socket and exterior housing. This is an old pic of my truck, it's blurry but shows you guys which ones I'm talking about. Does anyone have the part number for everything I need? Also, I want white colored LED bulbs instead of the old dim...

    Looking for fuel tank dimensions

    I have an 84 d150 that I swapped a 2012 5.7L hemi into. I kept the stock fuel tank from the 84, cut out the top of the tank where the fuel pump goes, then plastic welded in the threaded piece of plastic that the fuel pump threads into from an 07 fuel tank. So basically... it's an 84 tank with...

    Trying DIY Frame/Undercarriage Paint Job

    Looks great! Unfortunately I don't have the means of doing a frame off resto, so everything will be left assembled. Any tips for doing it with the truck's body still attached to frame?

    Trying DIY Frame/Undercarriage Paint Job

    I got POR-15, a three step frame/chassis paint package. First product is a degreaser, second is a metal ether, then the third is a gloss black top coat that's apparently very durable. I will just be using a drill with a few different shaped wire wheels to remove surface corrosion then applying...

    Backing Plates for my 84 D150

    STILL on the hunt for a set of backing plates. Found some at the local scrap yard but they weren't worth a penny. One side was warped probably due to being pulled along the concrete cause there are no wheels on it, the other side had a hole punched thru around where the bolt keeps the plate...

    Backing Plates for my 84 D150

    I guess I'm trying to go for all-new parts since I am semi-restoring the truck this winter. I'm going for as many brand new parts as I can just because . I want to keep drums in the back just since they typically last longer around here than disc brakes from, I'm assuming, the amount of salt...

    Backing Plates for my 84 D150

    I'm looking to go with new parts if possible - I will wonder to my local scrap yard but chances are any plates I find will be covered in corrosion already since I'm in Canada and they use salt 6 months out of the year. What are people supposed to do to get new plates? Drums, shoes, pads, rotors...

    Backing Plates for my 84 D150

    I can't find backing plates anywhere. All suppliers seem to be listing them as discontinued. I was under my truck tonight and tried measuring with a measuring tape.... not the easiest task since the axle runs through the middle of the plate. From what I can tell, the drum measures 14 inches...
