    Bolt Pattern Size Question

    the rims with two sets of holes are not "universal" there are a bunch of different lug patterns.. but since 5x114.3 is one of the most common usually the rim will be made with that pattern, as far as the rim bolting up yes any rim with that bolt pattern will mount, but you will need to account...

    727 to a518 trans swap

    It would probably be easiest to find a truck with the a518 in it and pull all the linkages and crossmember from it. I would imagine that would be the easiest way instead of fabbing the stuff from scratch.

    Bolt Pattern Size Question

    the offset is the only thing that is very different. you'll need a spacer to counter for the offset. once you know the spacer size its just a matter of finding a spacer that has the correct bolt pattern

    electrical issue on 1987 w100

    Have you checked the fuseable links on the driver side wheel well? have you tried lightly tapping the wiper motor with a hammer while its on? Is it getting enough voltage? As far as a cb most of the ones i've ever seen are wired to the batter. Is it going to be a single whip or dual? The...

    What Did You Do To Your RAM Today?

    I know its a bit later than I said. lol. but here's the next set of pics. got the needles painted flat black. They are much easier to read in the night. The camera didnt really pickup the color difference, but it really did make a huge change.

    1983 D150 Control Arms

    as far as suspension is concerned that sounds like a pretty solid start. with the steering, the inner and outer tie-rods, and center adjusting sleeve. maybe the centerlink unless its in good shape still.

    1983 D150 Control Arms

    eek. From the looks of those it would probably be the best bet to just start over. Of course with a budget the necessities will need to be taken care of first. I would start with atleast control arms and bushings. LMC has a bit of stuff for our old trucks. As far as I know the upper control arm...

    1983 D150 Control Arms

    Pics might help us better assess what is actually needed. As far as just reading your story all I can really say is replace everything... Which isnt really a good assessment, but if the control arms are actually rusted through I would say most everything else down there isn't in much better shape

    1983 D150 Control Arms

    First off, welcome aboard!! How do u know its the control arms themselves, and not a ball joint or bushings? Just wondered, cause unless it was wrecked chances are nothing will be wrong with them..

    What Did You Do To Your RAM Today?

    absolutely. should get around to it tomorrow since that will be my saturday. I would definitely recommend atleast doing the led upgrade to anyone i know with one of our old trucks. Obviously helps the light, but it will also keep the factory bulbs from melting the cluster.. mine had a few spots...

    Engine Was Running, Stalled, Now Will NOT TURN OVER

    shouldnt since its not computer controlled. does it even click? i know there is a bunch of fuseable links on the left side of the fender that are notorious for going bad and causing weird problems. i think there is 2 or 3 of them that are for the starter. If it clicks try tapping the starter...

    Engine Was Running, Stalled, Now Will NOT TURN OVER

    before anything I would get a socket on the balancer and turn the engine over a couple times by hand just to make sure nothing is hitting metal on metal. If that checks out fine i would loosen the distributor and turn it about 1/2" or so and see if it starts or atleast turns over easier. if it...

    What Did You Do To Your RAM Today?

    I got around to refreshing my instrument cluster a bit.. got the whiteface gauges and red 194 led replacements. the gauges are definitely much easier to see during the day and even at night, plus i think they add a nice contrast to the surroundings. the needles are awesome during the day but...

    Mid 90s magnum in 89 help

    i'm no expert but that looks like a gm transmission. any idea exactly what it is? you should be able to just look for a clutch with the specs from the trans. just make sure its from a v8. i know dodge used 2 different input shafts on their's. one fine splined and one coarse splined. I'm 98% sure...
