    Diesel treatment or no?

    I’m not sure why you wouldn’t run any treatment, even if you don’t live in a state where it gets below freezing. ULS diesel has less lubricity than older diesel did. Look up project farm on YouTube, he tested regular ULS diesel and then ULS diesel with different additives. Hotshot secret...

    Coil spring seat help

    Hi all, I just recently took ownership of a 2001 ram 2500 sport model from my father. It’s a bit rusty underneath but passes inspection. However, the front drivers side coil spring seat (the part that sits on top of the axle) is rusted and has a hole in it. Is there a way to replace this without...

    Any idea on what to do next?

    Hmm, that definitely sounds reasonable. If I can get it to run for a few minutes I’ll try that. I do notice that it “backfires” through the throttle body when it stalls

    It definitely does idle much worse when it sits for a couple minutes, then wants to die out unless I’m on the throttle but even then it barely idles. Will also add checking spark warm and cold to the list! Haha

    Any idea on what to do next?

    I’ve tried to look for a vacuum leak with no luck. There is this one odd rubber hose that’s connected to the throttle body that I have no idea where it goes to. All the other hoses have spots to plug into except one. I can definitely check the injectors, haven’t thought about that. I have...

    Any idea on what to do next?

    Hey all, I have a 1989 W150 with the 5.2. Sorry for the long post but here’s the whole story: Bought the truck from a “dealer”, ran fine for a couple months (driving into town a couple times, that’s all). It didn’t have much power so I figured I’d change the plugs, wires, and do an oil change...

    1989 318 HELP

    Hey guys, a few months ago I picked up this 1989 w150 with the 318. My dad had one just like it and I loved it so I bought my own. It ran okay when I first got it but had no power whatsoever. I replaced the plugs, coolant temp sensor and sender, and after that I could only get it to run when...

    Performance issues?

    Hey all, I’m recently the owner of a new to me 1989 ram 150 with the 318. Runs pretty good and dives pretty good, however it does have just the 3 speed auto in it. Anyone else who has the 3 speed: does yours absolutely suck on climbing hills? Like dropping from 60mph down to 49 (give or take)...

    Performance Questions?

    I’m not terribly worried about price as long as it’s not going to be in the 10s of thousands range lol. About a grand isn’t terrible, I’ll have to take a look at those options too. Thank you
