    Front Receiver Hitch Recommendations

    Need to install a SOLID front receiver hitch for snow plow on a 1989 Dodge W150. Anyone have recommendations on a off-the-shelf hitch that woudl fit? The major companies all tell me they don't make them for this truck. If can't find a good match will buy closest one and weld it thanks

    Bypass Neutral Park Switch

    Thanks B250 and threewheeler80 this diagram is great. We replaced the switch with one from a parts supplier and so far it seems to be working. Per the shop who obtained it for me the one I got from an auto parts store was bad and the one they got costs more but is better quality. Don't you love...

    Start Issues

    Having similar issue in my 89 w150 5.9. I replaced the neutral Park switch but it still does this. I'm told there is a lever inside the transmission that activates the switch. I hope I don't have to take that transmission out

    1989 Dodge Ram W150 5.9 TBI 360 with Vapor Lock

    Thanks crash68 I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and it runs much better. It still has some lurching and in one situation on a steep grade at very low speed it struggled and behaved like vapor lock again. I can hear a hum from the in tank fuel pump so it likely needs to be replaced soon...

    1989 Dodge Ram W150 5.9 TBI 360 with Vapor Lock

    Bought a 1989 Dodge Ram W150 5.9 360 with factory TBI with an apparent Vapor Lock issue. It starts and idles fine, but when driving for 3-4 minutes on a country road the engine bogs and stutters if more than 1/4 throttle is applied. After that starts it can only limp along at near idle engine...
