    85 Ramcharger powertrain swap from 91 W250 cummins

    I was thought I might be able to get away with something there... Should be easy with it all being old stuff, but when when I wreck the pickup, I'll be taking everything just in case. I've been doing some research and I may have to keep the existing harness to have the a/c functional... seems...

    85 Ramcharger powertrain swap from 91 W250 cummins

    Hi everyone! I've been absent from here for awhile, but I'm back to announce my latest project! (Because we all need more projects. Right?) My wife just bought herself a 91 W250 cummins to swap the power train into her 85 Ramcharger. She hates half ton brakes and I told her the best way to fix...

    MUST READ Brakleen+Welding=VERY BAD

    yep.... good deals making this a sticky.... lots of people don't know this, but they do teach it at CWB courses it hangs in the air and even a good deal of time later it still happens.. we had a guy at our shop working on his rig while some of the boys were still welding late one day... he...

    Whistley Mufflers

    Yeh... no kitty on my rig. If I fired a tennis ball down the stack, it wouldn't stop till it bounced off the turbo! Just lately, I have been feeling like it's a bit rude... I let off when I pass a busy bus stop.. hehe I'd just feel less guilty when I tramp it, if I had a bit of mufflerage. I...

    Whistley Mufflers

    Anyone have personal experience with this one? I have looked at some tractor/trailer ones but they are heavy... like 60#s I'm hoping someone can show me a design that they know has a good whistle and maybe I can copy with aluminum. Also, I am just tossin' this out there... 'cause I...

    Whistley Mufflers

    I have been considering a muffler. 4" variety. I was wondering if anyone knows a good muffler to use on a 6.5 for rumble reduction, but retaining the straight-pipe whistle. If not, I'll be leaving it straight-piped 'cause I am a whistle junkie!

    Bought 2 cans of Sea Foam,,,

    Great thread guys! I have been using seafoam for years on small engines, as well as large. It's miraculous on 2-strokes. I have only used it in fuel systems, sometimes straight, mostly with gasoline. As compared to crc or gunk harsh spray dealys, I find it to be better. This...

    W.T.S. trigger for command start

    Hey guys! Lastnight I installed a Compustar CM4200 in my truck and got everything working great except for the wait-to-start trigger... the *dark blue (-)* behind instrument cluster sounds like a bitch and I was wondering if there was an easier spot to access the WTS circuit? my brain box has...

    Brake Lights DNF

    alright!!!!! I found the solution! I found the correct wiring diagram today. This truck does not use a relay for the brake lights. It was a bad trailer that caused it. The white wire is the output from the Brake Pedal Switch. It goes directly to the signal-stat plug on the lower portion of...

    Brake Lights DNF

    One of my non-computer friends has a 93 K-2500LD 5.7/4l60 EC/LB Silverado and recently his brake lights stopped working. The turn sigs work, and the 4ways work, fuses good. First, he replaced the brake pedal switch. Second, I cleaned the rear ground and deleted the rear trailer harness; no...
