    86 D250 Hemi Ramp truck build

    For wiring, I just snagged everything I could from the 03 and will be finding a spot for it on the 86. I do not believe the 03 had any security which should make things easier. a few more pics.

    86 D250 Hemi Ramp truck build

    Hello, I've always low-key wanted a ramp truck. Mainly because I'm tired of either trying to borrow a capable car trailer and/or dealing with the incompetency of said trailer, such as a winch battery that's always dead, a flat tire, worn-out tires from missaligned axles and then you just have...

    89’ D150 auto to manual trans swap NV3500

    Maybe you've figured all this out already. I know they make an electronic to mechanical adapter that you plug your speedometer cable into, it's north of $300. Is the 88-93 a hydraulic clutch setup? Are you able to fabricate at all? Neutral safety switch will just be wiring the two pins together...

    My Mechanic Could Have Killed Me

    Like most, I've done a lot of brake jobs... Unlike most, I've done it wrong more time than I've done it right (and that's based strongly on other peoples opinions on what is "right"". However, when I do something the wrong way, I make sure to do it carefully and have NEVER had a brake job gone...

    Slant six has no spark!

    My first guess was ballast resistor.. My duster has a slant, and the ballast resistor even has a chunk broken off of it.. still works! But I have heard that it is a common fault problem.

    Total loss of power when towing

    Think about it. 7000 lbs plus a 6000 lb truck.. that is A LOT for the 5.7. mine struggled to pull a car on a trailer that was close to 6000 lbs.. it was still capable of doing the speed limit, but it took a while to get there and you had to plan ahead. You have to put yourself in a state of...

    Did some towing the other day...

    I'm fortunate that the truck is so heavy because it does make for great towing stability... those stupid Uhaul trailers make you put the vehicle all the way forward which adds to the tongue weight, otherwise we would have balanced it out better. Based on that, we were thankful that it was a...

    Did some towing the other day...

    Drove down to Waco to grab this Passat TDI last Friday for a friend. Drove down without a trailer, rented the Uhaul and then loaded the car and towed it home. I knew those Uhauls were heavy, but with that car on there, It struggled! Uhaul says their trailers weigh 2200, which is at least 700...

    4th Gen 4x2 to 4x4 -with AlphaOBD

    I usually never post on forums until I've began the swap/project... mainly to avoid the comments about why you shouldn't do it! lol. you sound like me, ambitious without a plan, but with enough tools anything should be achievable. I swapped an AMG 5.4L V8 into my 1999 SLK. something no one has...

    How to make cheap eBay headlights work!

    Good Day everyone! I've had my 06 2500 for about 6 months now and have slowly been updating some things on it. The most obvious issue it had was terribly yellowed headlights. One even had impact webbing in it and they both had moisture in them. Like most people, I'm all for saving a buck...
