Yeah those reproductions from LMC are pricey but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet if you can't find a decent original to work with.

I'd grab one of those 11-inch kits before July if I didn't just blow my truck budget on a transmission rebuild last month.

That sucks about 1st Brands going under, but $300 shipped is still a pretty decent deal compared to what I've been seeing elsewhere lately.

That's a fair price for a Melling pump, I ran one of those M72s in my 318 for years without any problems.

That 318/NP435 combo is bulletproof - glad you got the title sorted out, those old Dodges are getting harder to find without rust issues.

I think I've got one in my parts pile from an '84 but no clock cutout - shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Hey Mark, try searching eBay or check with a local Cummins dealer - they sometimes have old factory manuals laying around.

Try checking eBay or calling a Dodge dealership parts dept - they might still have some old factory manuals sitting around or can order one for you.

Yeah you'll definitely need a tune for that 410 stroker swap, the stock ECU won't know what to do with the different displacement and cam timing.

Try checking with LMC Truck or Classic Industries, they usually have those backing plates in stock for decent prices.

That slant 6 from the swather is a cool choice for better mpg - I ran one in my old Dart and those engines will run forever if you rebuild them right.

I did the window update on my '18 and didn't need to replace any wiring, just swapped out the motors and regulators.

Code 13 on a 96 Dakota is usually the MAP sensor circuit, check the vacuum line to it first before replacing the sensor.

With that cam and compression setup you got I'd go with the 1-7/8" primaries, but good luck finding something that fits decent without major modifications on those D150s.

With that cam and 10:1 compression I'd definitely go with the 1-7/8" primaries, TTI makes good stuff but yeah they're pricey - might also check Hooker or Hedman if you're on a budget and don't mind some fitment work.
