Nothing beats swapping a pair of drive shafts outside, during a 14F (-10C) snow storm :D

We maintain a cozy temperature of 60-65F (16-18C) in the shop during winter time. With a hoodie, it's warm enough.

As for the wiring, i am going to get rid of everything i did so far and restore the factory wiring harness for all of the body lighting. Why is that? Mopar came around with a stand alone engine harness for the 6.4 engines, including everything you need to run that engine.

Holy cow, this thread was dead. Giving you a quick update hereby. The project ground to a halt when i goofed up the front suspension: I did not know where to go from here... then some real-life **** happened and cost me another month to figure it out and fix my head. Now i am slowly getting...

HEADACHES IT IS GIVING ME! Honestly, what they do to generate the fault signal for the tail lamps is not too complicated. BUT: I can't have more than 0.4 amps on the park lamp wire, which is why the BCM shut it down all the time. Was not a problem with the fault signal, but with the amps an...

Good info! Thank you. I am looking into 6.1 Cherokee oil pans at the moment... i think it would fit.

Witness me cutting up 200 dollars worth of tail light: Forget the heat gun. Use real tools instead. And that's when stuff really went snowballin' on me. One circuit board after the other came out of this thing like there is no end! And i could not help myself and played with it a bit...

The Ram oil pan is steel, i would prefer aluminum if possible.

Hi there, i am looking for an OEM rear sump oil pan for my 2015 6.4. Unfortunately, the donor vehicle i had in mind (Cherokee SRT 6.4) has a front sump too. Idk where i but i once saw a OEM rear sump oil pan that idk if it would fit a 6.4 as well. Can anyone school me on what parts could be...

Shoot... I thought i had bought tail lamp "led lamp" inserts... it turns out it was just a pair of license lamps i bought. Not reading the Ebay offer properly, i guess. Anyhow, i needed one of those. I was able to snag a complete tail light (only need one side to disect the circuit board) and a...

Spot the difference: I had the LCA angled to the wrong side in relation to the centerline of the frame... bozo move. No everything wanted to go where i first saw it going when i mocked up the LCA on a bucket and just shoved that under the frame... Hearthrobbingly i began cutting the bump...

I built this contrapment: It locates everything in its stock Ram 1500 specs, adjusted to the aproximate ride height of my truck so i can just push it under the engine crossmember and start building frame attachments. Well, no. In stock form the inner axis of the LCA of the Ram 1500 is on...

I think that's so awesome: And at the end of lots of making of waste parts, i think i am close to beeing done. All i need is a 50cm flat flex cable and additional wiring to the hazard switch and horn. Oh and i need to figure out, how the BCM wants its horns honked. And i also made a...

That's too small. For example: The Challengers wiring harness has a large 2/0 cable running from the trunk mounted battery to the front power distribution block (situated in the engine bay). That's like 70mm². It definitely uses way more power than your project but i would at least double the...

Not going to happen. I don't like it any more. First things first. I will have to look into building the chassis soon, i took delivery of the 6" drop coils from Early Classic (Chevy stuff) and the trailing arm bushings. I intentionally went with rubber bushings for compliance. This thing will...

Of course!

More videos of fiddling around with a small stick. Much like Harry Potter and Sir Lucas, prince of electrical darkness. Turn signal stalk testing And now with them return of turn signals. Really proud of that ;)

More pics of more steering column hacking: This is proto three, red in color. The color does not mean anything, i had it, it was painted by the PO, it got hacked up. Now i have a solid solution to mount the stalk in the housing, feels good. "All" that's left to do is build a turn signal...

HotWire uses the older computers to run anything, from 5.7s over 6.1s to 6.4s. I talked to them and they can not make use of any computer past 2014 because these are hardware-encrypted. Have a look at the info they provide for computers: HotwireAuto - Fuel Injected Wiring Harnesses And look at...

I hope it'll be worth the effort in the end... but then again, what else could i do?

I have a company at hand that will unlock the ECU for me and remove ABS and other stuff from the BCM. In case i absolutely have to use the ABS module, i will find another solution using that.

Thank you! I have not gotten it any further than cranking and coughing. Since i have no oil in the engine and no good way to get fuel to the engine (as of right now) i did not take it any further. It ran after it had been removed, it wanted to run after i removed the ABS wiring, so i think there...

Just a FYI, probably not useful for you, but i use the 2015 6.4 SRT including a few of the OEM control modules (BCM, RF Hub, start button) and the hacked up original harness. What i can tell you is, that if you use the original harness, book some time over at techauthority.com in case you need...

FYI: I took delivery of the Scat pack emblems, the dimensions are: 60mm (2.36") high, 70mm (2.75") wide

Thanks! With the engine package i received the steering column. Unfortunately, it got bent in the wreck that this Challenger was in. But the SCCM (steering column control module) is intact, the stalk is intakt and i have a habit of taking everything apart. The second proto is better but still...

And yes, that's the housing of a AT column. Why? Because i was thinking i could put a nice three-stage shift light where the gear indicator used to sit.

I had one of those "it might fit"-moments again. But i did not f it up this time - i think i really got a solution to get the turn signal / high beam stalk mounted. See for yourself and judge :D I know it's rough. That's why i'll do another one. I had to let one die to get the...

They adjust the voltage sensing with that potentiometer. A wild guess would be, that this potentiometer could adjust the voltage "seen" by the VR, basically "on"-time of the field excitation winding. 14.8V is not too far off a good charging voltage. You are shooting for 14.2 - 14.4 but i would...

Funny thing, you're from Nampa, ID. My '85 W250 has spent most of its life there :D Maybe you recognize it? Anyhow, the ABS module would throw all kinds of errors without various sensors attached. That was my first approach. I don't want to got that route if i don't have to. Apparently it...

From a glimpse at the wiring diagrams, i suspect that the PCM (powertrain control module) sends a PWM signal to the alt to control field excitation. The old VR does something similar, it contains a transistor placed in series with the field winding in the alt, closing the circuit it to ground...
