    83' W150 Rear Differential

    I need any and all advice I can get on rebuilding a Chryco 9.25 with 3.55 gears from stem to stern. I have an idea but this will be the first attempt at this particular task. Thanks younzins.

    9.25 Chryco

    Will 2001 3.55 gear ratio axles work for my 83 w150?? I found some for 150 each. Sorry for all the dumb questions.

    9.25 Chryco

    Or would getting a matching set off a newer truck with a differnt gear ratio work also? I suppose it would but im not positive.

    9.25 Chryco

    Is there another year model rearend i could get at a scrapyard thatd be a direct replacement? Im not positive what gear ratio mine is but i know itd have to match the front and all. Ive watched a few of those videos. Thanks

    9.25 Chryco

    Hello all, Ive never set up a rearend or anything and I was wondering how to install a new ring and pinion on my 83 w150. Im hoping someone knows of some links or diagrams. Something i could use to do this. The rear diff has new everything but the mechanic who did it said the old ring and pinion...

    wiring harness

    Painless makes a few different options that would work from what ive been told. Ive been studying up to rewire my 83 W150 for a little while now. I think Summit may have one too. Or if all else fails, you could hit the scrap yard.

    360LA Performance

    Anybody have any ideas on giving an old engine a little more oomph? Ive got an old 360 from a 76 Cordoba that was transplanted into my 83 W150. It had a little over 70k on the engine and the engine in the truck at the time (318) had been toasted by the previous owner. I know the 360la is isnt...

    Does your truck have a name?

    My trucks name is "The Dan River Dodge" to my buddies. Joke goes around that i should just drive the POS into the Dan River. Needless to say really but it still needs some work. I like the name Maggie.

    Chryco Diff Rebuild

    It drives down the road fine right now but it is super loud, almost like a squeal and it stops when i let off the gas so i dont think its a u joint right? Im not sure really. I just want the old truck back on the road. Next time ill probably just buy different axles from the scrap yard off a...

    Chryco Diff Rebuild

    I have had new bearings and a new crush sleeve eliminator put into the rear end. Before that it would "clunk' when i put in to gear. It doesnt now but when i had the mechanic "fix" the rearend he said its whining because i need a new ring and pinion. Im not sure how to install it really is what...

    Chryco Diff Rebuild

    So first off, never have I ever meddled with ring and pinions, pinion bearings, gearing, so on and so forth when it comes to differentials. I took my 83 dodge ( a while back now) to have new bearings and i forget all what put in thinking itd fix the clunk of my chryco 9 3/4 (i believe) going...

    The 360la Updo Project.

    Thanks for the replies. I dont think a Hemi is in the books for me. From what ive read, it requires a bit of added electronics. The magnum seems like a decent idea but gas mileage would be horrible. Not that it isnt now.. I guess ill just keep the old la thats in it. Im just wanting to make it...

    The 360la Updo Project.

    Would a set of heads and headers do anything you think? If not, what would be a good engine and trans swap for this truck thatd bolt in without any major modification?

    Not a great picture but this is it. Im in the process of building it up some. Got a lot of work ahead of me.

    The 360la Updo Project.

    So i have an 83' W150. It has a 76' Chrysler Cordoba 360la in it. I'd like to keep the engine for the time being but i want more power. What are some good modifications worth while for this engine? I dont plan on keeping it forever. May put it in a mopar build down the line. The engine has...

    83' Rats Nest.

    How do i know what size relay or fuse or anything to use per fixture? Aka, horn, headlights, etc. I have a fuse panel under the dash but under the hood, all hots are taped together and led out to positive side of the battery. Not sure what to do with that part really.

    83' Rats Nest.

    So a power distribution center is basically a fuse box, right? Could i pull one from under the hood of a donor vehicle and then run all new from there or does it have to be specific? Im up for doing some soldering. I want everything tidy and manageable. The truck now is killing my O.C.D. Its all...

    83' Rats Nest.

    That seems to be a good term for it. Would i have to use old connectors to do a rewire like this? Or do you guys know anywhere i could get them?

    83' Rats Nest.

    What sort of upgrades are we talking about here? Also, i do want to go a ground up rewire but i want it to be specific to what i need. Problem is im not sure to go about it. I want everything as it is but more modern if that makes sense. L.E.D. head and tail lights, new interior lights...

    83' Rats Nest.

    Hey all. Wanted to know what the best way to rewire my truck would be. One of the previous owners did quite a job on it. There are a bunch of wing nuts (for house wiring, yes) and about 15k rolls of electrical tape holding this contraption together. Any advice on a rewire would be great. Im new...
