    Leaking 727

    Yes I replaced the shift shaft seal, slip yoke seal and the oring on the dipstick tube. Well then of course the pan gasket and filter. I sprayed brake cleaner all around to clean everything up. That's how I know it is coming from the front band adjuster. Thanks for the tips. I didn't know if I...

    Leaking 727

    I know Jack Diddley about transmissions. Well, the inner workings at least. I have a 727 that had sat for 18 years in the truck. When I got it running it performed flawlessly but started leaking everywhere. I replaced the seals and gaskets which sealed it up nice. Just sitting and running, and...

    Interior Dyes/paints

    It's a '77. Sweet truck, it had sat since '04 till I found it in February this year. Cleaned the tank and replaced the rest of the fuel system and it runs like a top. I haven't even touched anything else. I just need to get something on the plastic dash before it turns to dust. They are very...

    Interior Dyes/paints

    I put this in general discussion because it's a Dodge D-100. The plastic dash has faded. I have used SEM spray can dye/paint before but I am not finding the color I need. I will need to paint the plastic dash, padded glove box door and the door panels so everything matches. What other products...

    Going to try for a new tow vehicle

    Traded my '17 2500 6.4L hemi in on a '21 2500 CTD. 6.4 got 14-15 mpg empty and 9-10 mpg with my camper. Owners manual said regular 87 acceptable, 89 recommended. I used 89, tried to use 87, sucked mileage and performance. The new truck gets 19-20 mpg empty and 11-12 mpg with the same camper. And...

    Two mopar truck questions

    Looking at the jumper wire between the flashers, someone either had a problem or hooked up some kind of accessory. IDK. The black strip you refer to will be hard to find, the only way I know how to get one is spare parts. And be careful with it, it will very brittle. Ask me how I know!

    Proportioning valve repair

    Man, you guys are great! I've never have had a problem with a proportioning valve in all my years of wrenching. I never would've thought there is all that much stuff to it, or even a rebuild kit for it. I guess I should have googled it first, but I thought nah no way. Thanks for the pictures...

    Proportioning valve repair

    Has anyone ever had on of these apart? Mine was stopped up to the back brakes. So I took it apart and cleaned it the best I could. My question is, is there a o ring on this plunger in that groove. It was nothing but white chalky stuff.

    4.5" wide. I'll clean them up a little and throw them up for sale.

    Wheels worth anything?

    My county is having a tire forgiveness day coming up, so I'm getting rid of a bunch of used tires. I am not using the original wheels that came off of my /6 Duster, 14" sbp. I figure if they are not worth anything, I could haul them to the scrapper on my next trip, or sell them. What say you?

    Brainfart rebuilding front suspension!

    Update fellas, I couldn't leave it alone, sorry @RustyRatRod . So here's what I did, I have a couple of old (read good) Craftsman tire tools (my dad called them spoons) that are unbreakable. I got a piece of 4ft long iron pipe and slipped over the tire tool and pried, got a cramp in my back and...

    Brainfart rebuilding front suspension!

    Yes I greased the torsion bar and sockets, I even made sure they fit the sockets well before I put them in. I have pried to the point that it scoots me across the floor. I've never had this much problem before. 2lb sledge and a ruined homemade removal tool that has always worked. IDK

    Brainfart rebuilding front suspension!

    I removed the whole thing including k-member to clean and paint. I have the UCA's on, the spindles on and the torsion bars in, that's it. I had to use the adjusters to line up torsion bars with the LCA socket. I've tried everything from having the adjusters completely out to turning them in 8...

    Brainfart rebuilding front suspension!

    A little background, I've been doing this 30 some years, I have done many front end rebuilds. So, with that said, here's the brainfart...Complete rebuild on my Duster, to include new torsion bars from PST. I forgot to put the strut rods on the LCA's and have to take the LCA's back out to do so...

    Any Of Yall Seen This Yet?

    Who makes the nicest dash pad for 72 dart

    I got mine for my '70 Duster from Classic Industries. I knew the grain would be a little off, but I was worried about the color (green). Turns out it was perfect, color and fit. I couldn't be happier! I don't recall the price.
