For Those Who Have Purchased a "Non-Running" Mopar/Other

One more. Back around 2006 or so my son was itching for something to fix. He found an '84 Ramcharger 2wd 318 for $200. Guy said it had a transmission leak so they got a junkyard transmission to replace it and it leaked, too. They had started to remove the transmission so it didn't run. We pulled the trans out and put a kit and converter in it. My son called and said it was still leaking, but looked like engine oil. I told him to replace the oil sending unit. No more leaks, but the thing got terrible gas mileage and he was still itching to do something else to the truck. Enter my best friend from high school and his son's wrecked '96 5.2 Dakota...Made money on the swap and the fuel mileage doubled and there was a lot more power.
