    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...

    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...

    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...

    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

    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

    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...

    Free Shipping on Body Panels?

    Hi there. I'm looking for a website to purchase fenders, cab corners, rockers, etc. for my 84 d150 that ships for free to Canada. Is there a website that you guys know of? Shipping on late parts is just very expensive and hard to commit to. Thanks!

    Need More Lift on my 2wd

    Hey guys. I have a 3 inch body lift and a leveling kit on the front of my 84 d150. I'm running 33 inch duratrac tires and had to cut my front fenders so that they wouldn't rub on turns and harsh bumps. I'm about to buy new fenders because they're starting to rust, but I'd really love it if I...

    Transmission Only Engages Under Heavy Acceleration

    Hey guys. I have an 84 d150 with 727 trans and a 5.7L Hemi that I swapped in last fall. When the truck is cold and I have it in drive, the engine will rev up and almost have a "diesel" type sound, so I back off the gas pedal then step on it again harder and I can feel the flywheel (?) engage...

    Can't Find This Mini Relay in Canada

    Hey guys, I drive an 84 dodge but I swapped a 2012 hemi into it about 8 months ago. Unfortunately, a few grains of salt got onto the prongs of the fuel pump relay against the fire wall. I need to replace the mini relay ASAP since it's my daily driver, but can't seem to find it in a store where I...

    Rear Wheel Well Rust

    As you can see from the photos, there is moderate rust above and around both rear wheel wells. It's at the bubbling paint stage, but at some spots it's now slightly past that stage unfortunately. My question is, what should I expect to pay a body shop to fix up both sides? The rest of the box is...

    Molded Mud Flaps?

    I have a 1984 ram and I'm wondering if there are ANY molded mud flaps or mud guards for these trucks. When I say molded, I mean ones that are thick and actually have somewhat of a structure to them that flow with the shape of the lower fender/wheel well. The picture explains what I'm looking...

    The engine swap from a carb'd 318 to a 5.7 hemi is finally (pretty much) done. Just getting O2 sensors put in the exhaust and kickdown linkage adjusted, some other small things like that then it's ready to go. I kept the 727 transmission.

    Can someone help me identify this fuel pump?

    Can someone help me identify this fuel pump? I'm installing the gas tank in my 84 dodge, almost done swapping a 5.7L Hemi into. I went to the local junk yard to get a fuel tank with internal pump. I found one in the dodge area, and there is a FIVE point sensor/plug coming off of the pump. I...

    Almost Done Hemi Swap, Question Regarding Fuel Pump

    I have almost completed the engine swap in my 84 dodge ram from a 318 carb'd to a 5.7L Hemi from a 2012 ram. Everything is pretty well completed except for fuel delivery... Some suggest buying a used gas tank from a new gen dodge which has the pump internally, but I'm looking to keep my current...

    Trying to decrease body roll while cornering

    I have a 3 inch body lift and a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my d150. I am almost done installing my 5.7 hemi so it's safe to say I will be accelerating and turning much faster than I did with my tired and old 318. One thing I can't seem to find info on is how to increase body roll - I know the most...

    (Possibly) Bad Transmission Mounts?

    Hi there, I'm currently waiting for the wiring harness to swap in a Gen III hemi to my 84 dodge. I will be keeping the 727 transmission. For a long time, there has been a sort of knocking, flexing, creeking sound coming from below the floor in a few different situations. If I park on a hill...

    Harness For Putting New Hemi in First gen

    A couple guys I've talked to about swapping a 2012 5.7 hemi into my 84 d150 have said that there are standalone wiring harnesses available for putting a newer, fuel injected, computerized engine in an old Mopar. I can't however seem to find one that is best for my situation. Again, it's a 5.7...
