    Fuel line fixes, and a $26 exhaust system (Very DIY)

    So I noticed someone had crunched the fuel line feeding into the carburetor, I've seen this with one other vehicle I owned, a 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Not sure how or why it happened on the Dodge, but I guess on the Olds they where trying to replace the fuel filter built into the Q-jet...

    1984 D150 318 rocker / lifter noise fix?

    So, I'm pretty sure I have a lifter that's sticking when the truck is cold, the inside of this engine looks like the creature from the black lagoon backed up and took a big deuce in it. I have a video of the noise, it's coming from the front two rockers when the engine is cold, but goes away...

    So I'm Ben, I'm 26, and to summarize who I am, I like cars, all kinds of cars. I like other things too, but my philosophy is, if I have to drive this metal (Not plastic, metal) box to and from work and everywhere else I travel, why can't it be something interesting? From Sept of 2013 to Sept...

    1984 D150 fender mounted boxes are melting

    So these boxes are something to do with a delay circuit for the ESA (electronic spark advance?) and egr (exhaust gas recirculator). But what exactly do these boxes do? To put it bluntly, I need to know if they're important or not, because they are melting, and I cannot find replacements. I'd...
