    Update on the daily driven W250

    So it’s been a few years since I’ve posted on here, with issues pertaining to the throttle body injection and such. After 4 years, I have managed to fix it (timing was off by 12 degrees) and she’s been a great daily for the past 23k miles. To those who don’t know (probably many), I have a 1989...

    Dying transmission?

    So my truck has been doing alright until last week, when the transmission starting acting up. Usually, the transmission would shift 1-2 between 20-25 mph and 2-3 between 35-45 mph, all depending on throttle input. But now, she shifts 1-2-3 all under 20 mph. I've looked around on other forums and...

    Engine still "pops"

    It's been a while since I've been on here so I'll see if I can get some help. I leave for Carlisle next week and I'm not too too concerned about the truck making the 160 mile trip but one thing that has been bothering me is the truck still "pops". What I mean is it seems to be a little boggy and...

    Throttle Body Isolator Gasket

    Work progresses on the truck. Dad and I took off the throttle body, as one of the injectors were leaking. We also had bought a rebuild kit and decided to replace all the gaskets. The kit comes with 3 gaskets, and we've discovered where 2 go, but are unsure of the third one. The picture included...

    3rd brake light for 1989 W250

    So last week as I heading home, I was pulled over by a Maryland State Trooper. His reasoning was I had a brake light out. He gave me a warning and sent me on my way. Now here's the kicker: I get home and have dad check the taillights. Both of them work and everything. What we can only deduce is...

    Code 34

    Within the past few weeks, the truck has been having problems with starting, mainly if the engine is still warm. Sometimes it will catch but idle down so low it almost stalls or it takes at least 3 full cycles to start. I just pulled the codes off the computer (counted the flashes on the Check...

    360 TBI Valve Covers

    So the truck is finally daily driver worthy. It stops and goes perfectly (minus a small hiccup in starting). Now I want to replace the old valve covers since they are leaking and rusty and not that good looking. I was considering a set of Mopar Performance valve covers, but the old ones have a...

    K20 to W250 bumper

    It's been a few weeks since I've posted, but the truck is close to completion. Earlier today I came across an offer on an older Warn or Ramsey winch bumper that a guy on the West Coast was getting rid off. However, two problems have come up. 1) He's on the west coast and I'm in Maryland. And...

    Exhaust help

    So now that the bed is off and we have access to the rear unrestricted, I want to replace the Walker muffler I have on the truck. We have a replacement catalytic converter (must past the tail pipe test in my county) that will be put on. We haven't done anything up front (hole in manifold equals...

    I already have a thread going, but I should introduce myself first. My name is Walter Joy. I'm just a 17 year old kid who's grown up in a family of car people (Chevrolets). Mopars haven't been as big in my family but a few have been in it. My uncle has an 84 D100 with a slant six and 3 speed...

    Gear Ratio mismatched

    My first ever thread, so I hope it's a good one. I'm a teenager who has a fair bit of knowledge of mechanics and cars, and has been gifted with a 1989 Dodge W250 that has been in the family since 1992. I have just started working on the truck this past week with my family in order to get it on...
