    Ignition box questions

    These will refer to factory Mopar style 4 and 5 pin ecu's. I forgot what's the difference between a 4 pin and a 5 pin box I remember one can be used in place of the other but not the other way around. Which one works for all and why won't the other do likewise? I'm seeing some Delco...

    Has anyone here used the Eastwood aluminum fortified filler?

    As title says. I'm wanting to tie this to both my thread about the truck cab, and the other guys thread about roof rust repair. I have a few better pix of my situation but I still couldn't get pix of the underside of the roof lip to come out. I tried outside, I'm wondering if I put a light...

    Truck cab question

    Sorry not an a body but very much Mopar, FABO gets tons more attention than for trucks only ever did. My project is a frame off resto/rebuild of an 83 D250. The cab I have that was supposed to be so great, isn't. I got blown away worse than when we first talked, when I delivered it to the body...

    Jupiter pneumatics anyone?

    Anyone ever heard of them? I bought a set of (3) inline air filters daisy chained together from MP that are this brand. All I can find when I look them up is a link to a company called MSC. Which is like a Grainger or McMaster Carr type place No parts breakdown nothing. 2 of the 3 filter...

    Best aftermarket weatherstrip

    This isn't about an a body but a D250 reg cab truck. It just got dropped off at the body shop yesterday all apart in pieces. Who's the better weatherstrip company? I hear as much good as bad about "precision". Many companies actually just resell theirs at a huge markup. I was trying to look...

    The 10000th outboard question on FABO

    This is on a 1970 Evinrude 115. Got it out of Dad's garage when we had to clean out the house to sell when Mom died. Dad bought it in fall 1997. Died in Feb 98 before we could get it set up on his boat. Had it running then and not since. I cut the top out of a mini bulk tank and built a...

    Panel bond?

    W T F is this stuff? I am working on a Dodge truck project and have the bare cab off and on furniture dolleys in my garage. I originally thought this cab was hunkey dorey and all I'd have to do was to swap out the small A/T 2wd trans tunnel for a 4wd/and or granny gear stick trans tunnel. WRONG...

    Ac/accessory brackets?

    Which would be better on a magnum set up like a carbureted crate engine (LA front parts) I have the ac brackets setup off of an 89-90 TBI engine with factory AC already, wondering if the setup off an earlier 80s version would be better? This is going into a d250. I have an M1 carbureted intake...

    hard to find version of a 518

    Last week my son and I went to the junkyard and got some parts for my D250 project. Among that we cut out a "big" transmission tunnel from a 90 D150 club cab. We uncovered a 518. He's looking for one for a C body project of his. We went back today for the trans. We pulled it unconventionally...

    I'm putting together a magnum engine with LA engine, front accessories. As some may know this is for an 80s truck. I want to use the factory ac compressor and brackets as would have come on a factory AC equipped 80s truck. The intake i have at the moment that I hope to use is an M1 dual plane i...

    Ok the ada have GOT TO GO

    As title says. They are worse than ever, covering up what I want to read, about things that are beyond irrelevant, and not even an "x" to be able to delete them anymore. And "adblockers" DO NOT WORK. I spend more time here trying to delete them and otherwise working around them than I do trying...

The head unit not crazy old, (Kenwood KDC255u) also says Y21 on sticker on top. Not sure exactly how old, I'm gonna guess about 10 years...

    I have a Millermatic 185 that I bought new around 1997-98ish. been a great machine. I bought that one at the time because I was dead set on a 220v unit as Id burnt out 2 lesser 110 machines already. I bought the one I did specifically over the bigger millermatic 250 for 1 reason; it openly...

    Might need someone to look at a truck I'm considering around Grant's pass

    As title says. Looking at a couple of late 80s D/W 250s that are for sale out that way. Can't find any clean ones out here in the rust belt. From what I saw in the map the w250 is a little north of there (center/central point) and the D250 is a lil south of there both apparently right off...

    I'm looking at a camper that's for sale there. I went and checked it out a couple of hours ago. Wife and I are debating whether to or not to go for it. Story is it's at a storage unit yard. Nobody has paid storage on it in at least 3 years and they're wanting to sell. The problem is with a...

    I have a 1963 Evinrude fastwin 18hp short shaft outboard, model 18302, that I cannot get to stop mixing water in the lower gearcase. I've tried a new skeg (fin) new seals, ended up replacing the prop shaft bushings and seals as the original fin was cracked. I believe now that the fin and the...

    I have a 904 to freshen up (probably over the winter) and an a500 before that. I recently did a 46re. There's upgrade parts I found for the 727/46re that don't seem to exist for the 904/a500. I'm looking for an upgraded front servo for the smaller trans or 2 if possible. There were a couple of...

    46re questions

    How much free play should the low reverse lever have when adjusted to the factory setting of 2 turns out from 72 in/lb? With new band and a superior brand super servo I only have about 3/16". Also does changing the lever from a 2.5 to a 3.2 in the front band change the number of turns out on the...
