RE: Re: RE: 38x11x16 michelins Might want to post this in the Classifieds section before the mods pick on you. You can use the link over to the left.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Dodge power ram Only thing I can think of is that the VIN number could have been wrong somehow or the engine swapped at some point. It's also possible that since the Slant Six was sort of rare, it is overlooked in the insurance company's files and...

RE: Re: RE: Lets charter a ship take a Hawaii vacation with Hmmm, I wonder if there wouldn't be some rust issues on the trucks from Hawaii?

Re: RE: Lets charter a ship take a Hawaii vacation with duec Sorry Chris, this just about kills that idea: And there are some strange things that go on on-board a freighter: :shock:

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Dodge power ram You could swap a complete GM engine, trans and transfer case into the Dodge with minimal fuss. You just have to get a drivetrain out of a GM truck of the same era that has the driver's side drop on the transfer case so that you can line it up...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Dodge power ram Well after looking around on the net, I haven't been able to find anything on a GM V8 to Mopar 727 adaptor. They were used a long time ago for drag racing when the Powerglide was more consistent, but the 727 could be built to take more power. This...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Dodge power ram That truck "should" have power steering. They were available without it back then, I believe, but it's very rare to find an 80s model Ram without power steering. As for the GM engine in a Dodge, well, I don't need to say it, because you already know what...

RE: Re: RE: Dodge power ram If it's a 5.2L then it's a 318 LA series V8, if it's an inline 6 cylinder it will be the 3.7L 225 Slant Six. All 318 engines regardless of series are small blocks. Big blocks start with the 350 cubic inch engines in the 1950s and go on up through the 361, 383, 400...

Pics:

Also known as a Ranger if I remember my Jane's manuals well enough. Air Force used them as security trucks quite a bit if I remember correctly. Basically looks like a Ramcharger made from plate steel. Still looks quite a bit like a Ramcharger, but built like a WWII personnel carrier.

Ok, that's a W250, and an early 80's model, so it's not full time 4WD. You can see the lockout hubs on the front. The transfer case is a NP205, which is probably the strongest stock case ever made for a pickup, with the possible exception of the rare International NP202. Anyway, D60 rear, D44...

Buy that truck and paint it, now! More details to follow...

Nice find and very nice fleet. I especially like the 5 ton with the expansible van body.

Yeah, ask Kenny about flat towing a Deuce with a pickup.

Yeah, personally I think the whole thing is fishy. I tend to agree with the idea that AM General just doesn't want to hurt it's sales of the civilian model, and I have to wonder if GM didn't add a little pressure to them since they market the Hummer®. They could lose profits from the sale of...

Check the local salvage yards. Just about any 75-81 Dodge 4WD pickup/Ramcharger/Trailduster should have the NP203 in it.

I wouldn't worry too much about the shifter pulling out of the tranny. That's pretty common on the New Process 435 and 445 transmissions. The problem is the spring loaded cap that is a push down and turn to lock kind of deal and when it gets worn, it will pop out of place and the shifter will...

Here's the 53009180AB bearing for the Magnum engines. As you can see it is designed to fit in the recess for the torque converter hub. I didn't post the pilot bushing because I'm sure we all know what the old bronze bushing looks like.
