    Dang automatic brake

    Too much needless crap on today's trucks. I'll take my 85 d150 any day over a new one

    Found this Dodge panel truck in Tombstone Arizona

    What is now currently "pushed" as "4th gen" is probably more like 12th gen as Dodge trucks go... I get SO TIRED of the 81-93 being called "1st gen". They are far from that. I mean c'mon Dodge started building trucks around 1920 not 1980 like the "gen" thing would lead many to think

    Truck starting to run a little warm

    12 1500 reg cab long bed 4.7 Have owned 2-1/2 years, since 93k miles now at 135k. My first 4.7, have avoided them like the plague though I have owned many 318 and 360 powered dodges. Needed a truck and some "assistance" to buy from the bank and they wouldn't loan anything on what I really wanted...

    Starter question

    No, no separate relay on the starter. Just the regular solenoid that's part of the assembly. Like I said I'm wondering if they just bolted it on upside down and the other big lug should be the one attached to the wire that goes into the starter housing.... I say this only because the small lug...

    Starter question

    I've been to town and back, I have started it 4x since reinstall and so far so good, but that don't tell me anything because it never did act up every time. But when it does no click no nothing like the battery is undone. It may do it next time I go to start, it might not act up for a week.

    Starter question

    12 ram 1500, 4.7 My starter is doing the occasional dead spot thing. Maybe 2x/day or maybe once a week I'll hit the key and "nothing". Hit the key again and starts fine. Usually only takes a 2nd hit in the key to turn over and run but on occasion it has taken as many as 4 hits on the key to...

    Increase Throttle Response

    Wonder if this will help my 12 4.7... It goes but it's a dog until it gets closer to 3k rpm, then takes off like a shot. This is my first 4.7, I avoided them for years but got into a bind and needed a truck "now" and also something new enough the bank would loan me money for. (It made that...

    Anyone like the old 1981 d150 slant 6?

    Bull$hit. I've had both slant 6s and Schwinn's. Have both currently in fact. Would much rather have a slant 6, than any engine with timing chains and plastic guides within the same engine....

    Shocks

    I just put rancho 5000s on my '12 or the back end anyway. I have the fronts here, gotta swap them when I get the chance. . As a wrench for a living I've put ranchos on customers vehicles before but this is a first for me. I have had no luck with Monroe (though I know that ranchos are made by...

    Mouse getting into my cab.

    I have a 78 sport fury. I used to park it over winter in a friend's barn. No hay, straw or food was kept in there just machinery. About the 3rd (and last) year I stored it there when we went to get it out in the spring I noticed a pile of insulation on the floorboards. I drive it home, my...
