  Build- 1977 FJ40 Swamp Ghost

  By RotDorn

  So it appears that A) I have a major screw loose or B) I’m always up for a good fight C)I really should not be allowed to shop on the interweb or D) All of the above. Back in May of 2022 I purchased “Swamp Ghost” out of South Carolina. Allow me to digress…. Swamp Ghost was sold to me on a rebuilt salvage title clearly marked “fresh water flood” It has 44k original miles and is rust free. I have been collecting and trading firearms for nearly 40 years, the number... Read more

  Radiator hoses

  By Rockycmt

  I am looking to replace my upper and lower hoses. I have 2017 Ram 5.7 Laramine. I just had a thermostat hosing crack. I replaced it and the thermostat to get back on the road. I want to change the hoses. I have historically used rockauto for my parts. I see they have OEM Mopar and a 3rd party called GATES. Anyone use GATES? Is it an = product? Does this community rec any other brands (maybe more cost but better is ok)? Love to hear the thoughts here.

  Smog Check in Los Angeles

  Less BS about changing tire alignment specs from stock (a.k.a. let's rant about Mopar suspension some more)

  By cudak888

  Yes, this is both a snarky jab at this thread and @gtxrt 's outdated ideas as to what constitutes good alignment specs for a B-body and a mindbarf of my thoughts and experiences about Mopar suspension. In my not-so-humble opinion, I'm hoping this thread might actually help those of us who are new to B-bodies. Granted, I'm not sure how many I'm preaching to - the old car market is completely and totally plucking nuts for young people today and I'm not seeing that many... Read more

  A question for the engineers & drivetrain specialists

  By DrDuc

  If a person wants to lower gear ratios excluding a change to transmission gearing, it could be done in the transfer case, or in the front and rear differentials. Is one way preferable to the other? If so, what makes it the better option? Thanks in advance for educating me.

  The John Denver FJ40

  By sadovnik

  I’ve been back and forth on starting a build thread for this FJ40. So against my better judgment, here it is: my 1975 "John Denver" FJ40 with 97k miles. I’d been hunting for a 40 for a while, but everything in my budget was either a rust bucket, a mechanical nightmare, or both. When this one popped up locally, I had to jump on it. Mustard wasn’t my first choice, but I have to say, it really grew on me once I saw it in person—it’s just such an iconic color for these trucks. There was no rust... Read more

  No switches or lights work

  By BillHilly

  1985 D150. No matter what switch I hit, be it headlight, turn signal, windshield wiper, nothing at all happens. The gauges do mostly work, the gas doesn't at all, but none of the light switch system works. Since it's both the headlight, turn signal, and as well the wiper switch, should I rule out old switches and presume wiring at the bulkhead connector is ye olde crusty after 8 years of sitting before I bought the truck?

  Looking for Someone to Work on my Car

  By KirbyS

  I swapped a b230ft into my car in May. First time building a motor and sorting anything this deep. I've had numerous road blocks I've run into and issues with getting parts/getting the car running right. I thought getting a chip tune would be the last thing I needed but am unsure if there is an issue with the tune or if I have a bad ECU or something. I am looking for someone to help me get my car to the finish line. It runs but needs some troubleshooting with the ECU to get the tune working... Read more

  MagicMirror2 module

  By wallyllama

  I have vibe coded a module for the magicmirror2 project. MMM-Lucidinator it uses the same API that the home assistant integration uses. I literally just got it working on my 'mirror' today. It only displays the charging status and percentage, and the documentation needs a second set of eyes. I don't think magic mirror has a truly good way to secure passwords, so think about it before installing.
