    is this a A-518?

    this is a follow up to my earlier thread... http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=146675 I just came from Pick-N-Pull and found one(!) 1995 Ram with a V-8 in it. Out of the gaggle of trucks out there only one had a trans still in it. These are the pics I took...

    should I change gears or tranny???

    I just bought a 1987 Dodge 3/4 ton 360/auto Pick em' up literally a few hours ago. Made the transaction, went to the closest gas station (truck was under "E"!!!) and filled up and this S.O.B. took exactly $99.00 to fill up! Anyway back to the topic. The trans shifts into all 3 gears but it...

    will a 518 work here...

    I'm in the process of trying to close a deal (fingers crossed!) on a very clean 69 New Yorker with a 440 in it. My plan is to use this to replace my 68 Fury as my running around car. I have a customers/buddy 1993 3/4 Van that got totalled out sitting on the back lot. The paperwork from AAMCO(!)...

    help picking a shift kit...

    hey y'all, I'm thinking of putting a shift kit in the 904 that's in my 72 Duster. The trans is out of a 88 5th Ave and has a stock rebuild in it as well as stock torque converter. I don't want anything radical I just wanna tighten up the shifts a little. This is a mild small block street car...

    great tutorial video on differentials

    "old school" vid, even though I already understood the concept (quite sure you guys do too) but the illustration IMO is excellent. You might wanna skip to 1:45 YouTube - How Differential Gear works (BEST Tutorial) how come the folks at the IRS can't explain stuff like this dude?

    904 yoke question

    I installed a 318-904 out of a 88 5th Ave into my \6-904 72 Duster that's a work in progress. Is the yoke the same or am I gonna have to go back to Pick-N-Pull and get the driveshaft out of the 5th Ave?

    A500 pan on a 904

    I remember reading somewhere that you can put a 500 pan on a 904 and the added benefit is more fluid capacity. Is there anything else thats involved? Do you use the same filter/screen or do you have to change it too? Does the filter/screen now being further off the "floor" of the pan affect...

    looking for a plain ol' diff cover...

    need to replace the cover on the 8.25 diff I got from Pick N Pull as you know they knock a hole in them to drain the fluid out. Googled diff cover and looked in the obvious places (Randys, US Gear) and all I can find is the cast aluminum ones with the set screws and whatnot's. I just need a...

    what is this switch for?

    y'all gotta bear with me, somethings that are passe' is new to me being a B/RB & 727 dude my whole life. I pulled this trans (engine too) out of a 88 5th Ave to go into a Duster. What is this switch for in the photo? Do I need to cut the pigtail off of the harness on the car it came on? If so...

    putting a 8 1/4 into a 72 Duster.

    more questions. I'm in the process of installing a ANOTHER (long story!) mild 318 (performer intake, MSD ign., pocket ported, mild cam, headers, .030 over) into my slant 6 duster. The engine is done already and the current rear 7 1/4 in it is noisy. I have a 88' 5th Avenue that the powerplant...

    A-500/518 info...

    I have a 72 Duster that I'm currently working on. It's an original "Leaning Tower of Power" in it with AC. I got a 318 out of 1970 something Van and I'm gonna drop it in. I don't want to go the 727/904 route, I'd rather have a A-500/518 as this will be an actual road car. My other Duster is a...
