    Routine radiator replacement?

    So I'm currently in the middle of my 10 year (almost) and 100k mile tune up. New plugs, new belt and pullies, new water pump, thermostat, hoses. Crazy you have to take the intake manifold off for this which mandates replacing the EGR return cooling hose. also doing the inlet as well (might as...

    lost VIN tag

    so it turns out the only place that these old trucks have a VIN tag is on the driver side door. I've had my truck down to the frame and didn't notice a VIN stamped on the frame, firewall, etc. so cutting to the problem, when restoring my truck, I replaced the rusted driver side door on the...

    Chrysler 300s, thought?

    This may be a loaded question on a "mopar" website and yes, this is probably another "give me permission to make a bad decision" thread but here goes. I'm in the market for a new daily driver. Not environmentally responsible but I'm still a big fan of a V8 sporty sedan. I have a Mustang GT...

    pre-80 forum section?

    this is new! I think there's going to be a lot of cross talk with the gen 1 sub forum since the trucks are mechanically nearly identical. Maybe we'll start getting pre 71 trucks on the forum. Wouldn't mind seeing a few pics of the old power wagons...

    OEM fuel pump pressures question - Crazzywolfie?

    getting ready to put an EFI on my magnum. just noticed fitech and holley both require 58 or higher PSI. as far as I know stock pump puts out 40-50 psi. can I disconnect the power to the intank pump and put in an inline pump without 'antisiphon' issues? Crazzywolfie, I know you did the...

    I'm trying to assemble the front belt assembly on my truck using 92 d150 with 318 parts. I took pics before disassembly but my lap top took a dump and I lost all my files. for the life of me I can not figure out how all the little brackets go together. I got a general idea where the...

    max cooling standard vs reverse fan clutch

    How can I tell if a 2001 ram 2500 with a 5.9 has max cooling? more specifically, I need a new fan clutch and the options are standard vs reverse rotation. The reverse rotation seems to go with Max cooling. Is there anything specific I can look at on the old unit to tell?

    Gen 1, clutch pedal assembly FREE

    I'm cutting up my 72 dodge D100 parts truck for the scrapper. its a slant 6 with 3 on the tree manual. I pulled off the manual trans pedal assembly. It should fit the GEN 1 rams as that part of the fire wall is identical to the d100s. If you are doing a conversion to manual, here you go...

    Magnum head valve keepers are like unicorns

    I've been trying to track down Valve keepers for my magnum heads. so far I've ordered 2 sets, one from Comp Cams and another from edelbrock both cross ref for fit. both do not fit. there's no OEM replacement as far as I can tell. Now one final try with Hughes engines. their 1278 keepers are...

    how much demand is there for slant 6, 225 CID parts?

    I was just curious. growing up, almost every one of our mopars had 225 or 318s. but that was then. Now with motors tripling the output of a 225 for relatively cheap, I wasn't sure how much demand there was for slant 6 parts. I have a shelf full of hard parts that I've been trying to give...

    4 tiny bolts transfer all the power to the rear wheels

    I'm always amazed how just 4 tiny bolts will be transmitting all the power from the crankshaft to the flexpate then to the torque converter/input shaft then finally to the output shaft of the transmission. I always thought it would be more substantial considering the HP/torque going through the...

    now thats thin sheet metal

    I always knew the sheet metal on these trucks was thin but this is amazing. Went for a bike ride this morning. as I closed my rear door, the shoulder strap from my camelback got shut into the door not even the full strap, just the edge. it actually bent the body around the door. Just...

    early magnums with LA heads?

    Was rebuilding one of my motors for my D100 project and noticed something funny. anyone know if early magnums came from the factory with LA heads and intake? I have a 92 318/5.2 magnum (casting number confirms Magnum block) with what seems like LA heads (5 bolt covers) and intake. Still had...

    8.4 over air software update results

    so I have a 2015 2500 with the 8.4 non nav. recently it did an over the air firmware update. added a new screen off button and now reacts much slower to any touch screen input. More importantly ever since, the voice that announces text messages, etc has taken on a creepy tone. almost like...

    Hemi swap question

    so I have the opportunity to get a 2014 5.7 salvage vehicle 50k miles with rear end damage for $6000. I was thinking if I buy the whole truck, I can pirate the motor, maybe trans, and interior. as well, I can use some of the cab parts to fix the work related damage to my 2015 2500. anyway, I...

    fuel tank strap difference

    didn't realize fuel tank straps for the d150s were so different. I made a set of straps using my 92 d150 straps as templates. then went to the local pick and pull to get the proper crossmember to mount an EFI tank to my old frame. they had a 91 and 93 on their lot. checked both for the best...

    electronic gremlins have started.

    recently my 2015 2500 big horn with only 45,000 miles started having gremlin related activities. my 'one touch' up power window function stopped working on my driver's side, the honk with pressing lock on the remote twice keeps turning itself off, and steering wheel cruise buttons only work...

    is it a waste to rebuild a 5.2 magnum (318)?

    so I misread the vin on my 92 parts truck. I guess some designations changed after 1988 so what I thought was a 360 (5.9) magnum is actually a 318 (5.2). I have a local shop ready to go for a complete rebuild. but the cost of a full rebuild on a 5.2 is about the same as a 5.9. would like...
