    78 Dodge d150 318 automatic is not staying running now

    Sounds like you have more than one issue. If it won't start at times while spraying starting fluid in it that would suggest no spark.. possibly fowled plugs (flooded), trying to stall while running however sounds like a tuning issue. I don't see those leaks being the problem however dirt could...

    It's crazy, I called numerous shops after this and was very clear that I wanted a shop that had a knowledgeable staff that knew they could get it right and just that was enough to make almost all of them bow out!!!! I've got it scheduled for another alignment this Friday, this place had zero...

    It had Dextron 4 in it.

    Finally.. it was handed over but unfortunately that wasn't the end of it. After not seeing him drive it I asked why, he said it shifts super hard and gets scary above 45mph, here we go again! The shifting turned out to be him buying the wrong transmission fluid and the scary driving is from an...

    Yes the lift is down, there's about a 2" difference. I didn't think it made any sense trying to raise it with almost 40 year old coils in it when that alone might do it. They'll be here Friday so we'll see but even if it gets it close I'll be happy.

    Just added Halogen headlights and got new coils and tail light sockets ordered to wrap most of it up... After that it's alignment time! I'm not liking how low the front end sits, hopefully new coils help that out?

    Both, these bumpers are pretty thin and require a lot of support so the mounts all needed reworked. On the bumper itself although the trucks are close in width the newer trucks recess the the sides into the body and wrap them quite a ways forward. I probably added 1-1.5" on both sides, chopped a...

    Finally finished the bumpers and got the two tone on the truck. It hasn't been easy the last few years trying to find time to get this done but it's literally a few small steps away now. I bought a rear bumper off of a 2010 Ram, took quite a bit of cutting and welding but I'm really happy with...

    That bumper is 1/8" thick at best, wouldn't even take a 5mph hit without pushing it into the fender to begin with.

    I ground a V in it and left a small gap to fill, probably didn't get it all but it's done and I'm fine. Didn't know that about chrome, many other things but not chrome.

    Had a setback with the core support, wrong year, buckets weren't recessed deep enough so out with the welder again. While I had it out I decided to make some changes to the bumper. Welded all of the headache rack holes, bumper mount bolt holes, straightened it and got rid of that horribly ill...

    34 dodge truck upgrade.

    I like it! Chrysler has some damn good motors that never get used because of their displacement so it's always nice seeing someone put one to good use. Should make for a pretty cool truck.. beats the hell out of seeing another 350 Chevy under the hood too!!

    I can't wait, life has came in the way of finishing it way to many times already.. just need to buckle down and wrap it up now.

    Nope, we bought him some new rims, I opted to go with 18's. We already had a tire mounted on one to see how it would look.. huge improvement! The ones that are on it hold air and I don't care it they get filthy so until it's done they're staying on it.

    With it moveable under it's own power I put it on the lift and reworked this miserable LMC exhaust! They expected me to duck it under the frame (visible in the front fender) then run it down the outside of the frame (see post 419).. yeah right where the parking brake cable it? I didn't waist any...

    Just like with my Charger, window felts are a crappy fit. Look at the rear most clip compared to the originals. Had to bend the tabs straight, remove the clips, drill new holes and reinstall. Wrapping up the front fenders I realized I was missing a splash guard but found one good enough to use...

    With the front and rear windows installed I pulled it outside for a bath before reinstalling the bed.
