I know we have a FTO sister site, but there's WAY more activity on FBBO, and I know some of us also have vintage Dodge trucks.
I'm starting to think about completing the LRE clone (or at least getting close) someone started on my 1980 step-side.
It's a running, driving truck and the bed is real...
Over the weekend I replaced one of the front tires on my 2015 Renegade.
I knew that the TPS sensors could be a problem, but apparently didn't take enough caution and it didn't work when I put the wheel back on.
It read 30 psi, and no matter what I did (add or remove air) it didn't change.
Then...
My mom has a 2003 QC.
It's been a GREAT truck except-
I believe this is the seventh time a power window regulator has failed.

Of course we all know the temp actually goes up after you shut down.
I've seen it read 180 about...
I've had a very minor leak for some time now.
Last month it got worse. Went from nickel size spot to tuna can lid size.
The only thing I could see wet, as the return hose by the pump.
Replaced it and still leaks.
The only thing I can feel wet is the bottom of the pump.
My brother suggested...
Not really sure where to put this...
The 69 440 in my truck had a TQ on it and ran, but backfired and wouldn't stay running.
I finally figured out it was leaking gas internally, and swapped it out with an eddy AFB 600.
After adjustments it's doing MUCH better, and is street drivable now...
Running, driving 1980 D150 step side.
Pics to follow, as it was dark when I got it home.
Was slant and manual on the floor.
Cab is shot but bed is almost perfect.
Has turbine style wheels and came with Red Express stack shields and tailgate wood.
$800. Sat on CL for two months.
Had to jack...

I remember watching these late 50's to early 70's films in highschool autoshop class, back in the 80's.

Interestingly, our shop teacher was a Mopar guy and kind of looked like Tech.
He...
My "new" 73 needs transmission lines.
I've had to patch two places where the metal is rusted and weak.
Right stuff has cheap and easy ebay ordering through Summit, with free shipping.
I've spent quite a bit of time on the other two websites and found them "less than friendly" to navigate...
