    Intake Question

    By raymondjcksn

    I recently purchased a 72 340 Demon. I noticed this gap between the intake and head. Is this normal or should there be a gasket or tray installed here? It’s the same on both sides. I’ve never seen this and it’s throwing me off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Found a new project. Ram D250

    By threewood

    I lucked into this truck, my wife was the middleman. My wife put out feelers for a project truck that I was interested in finding. Our neighbors son runs a tow truck and mentioned to her a Dodge truck that was abandoned by the owner. Literally. This thing was dead on the road, tow company got called by sheriff to tow it, owner wouldn't pay the impound fee and signed over title and keys to them. Bought it for $300, no rust. 1992 Dodge Ram D250 with a 318 Magnum, o.d. automatic and Dana 70... Read more

    Magnum Heads Valve Spring Issue

    By THOM IN TEXAS

    I'm building a 318 using stock Magnum junk yard heads with the Hipotek aftermarket rocker arm kit and Hughes Engine valve springs and an Isky flat tappet cam Duration 280/280, Lift 0.485/0.485 (CL390181). Unfortunately, I have been waiting for months for the valve springs from Hughes and the deliver date keeps getting pushed out. Does anyone have an alternate valve spring that would work with this setup? Would stock magnum valve springs work?

    2014 LC hesitates when cold

    By Tom From Athens

    When cold , the initial raising of the rpm’s ( entering a road), cause a 2-3 second hesitation. Normally not a big deal except my road is 55 mph. Afterwards, no troubles. I’m at 80,000. No check engine light. What should I do?

    ID numbers on the FRONT of my Slant 6 block?

    By timk225

    After nearly 3 damn months, I finally got my 1986 truck 225 block back from the machine shop today! When I first got it, it had no number stamps in the typical place on the block ledge below the #1 spark plug. Once I saw the block all nice and clean today, I noticed it had its stamps on the FRONT of the block, just below the deck surface. We chopped the deck 0.080", so we nearly got into the numbers. Bored 30 over also, got the oil passages all scrubbed out, new brass freeze plugs... Read more

    FRAME UNDERBODY RUST

    By BOGOTA

    Gentlemen, my 2002 has hit a milestone of 300K, I have owned it for 20 years. I have a ton of money and maintenance into the rig, just replaced the master brake cylinder. Only using the truck in NY winters with dedicated Blizzak Tires past 8 years. Took some pictures of the underbody and not sure where to go from here. Looks bad, some of it flakes off to the touch. The concerning area is by the drivers door directly under where you would place jack, frame area. Anyone know if a frame... Read more

    73 Duster build named Fred

    By Boosted

    ***Edited to be my build thread*** Been looking 6 months for a clean A-Body to do a tribute build for my dad and finally came across one that wasn't a rust bucket or $15K+ so I had to grab it. This build will be dedicated to my late father. 50 years ago, he brought home a brand new 1973 A-Body Mopar in F7/8 green (the color of my SuperStock). On March 4, I will be starting the tribute build of this 50 year old A-Body Mopar, a 1973 Plymouth Duster which I plan to paint F7/8 green someday... Read more

    Chirping and unfamiliar icon

    By sheltn4

    Hello......I have a 2013 Genesis R Spec Sedan. It has approx 121,000 miles and I am the original owner. The last few days when coming to a stop, I hear 3 chirps coming from the dash and get an icon that I cant identify.. I double checked my owners manual and there is no mention of any 3 chirp warnings or this unidentifiable icon. Again it only happens when slowing down and alerts at about 5 mph. Anybody experience this or know what it could be. I do not want to contact the dealership for... Read more

    Rear end rebuild - research

    By Black1500Ram

    Hey everyone, I’ve been hearing rear end whine in my truck. 137k miles so most likely time for a time for a rebuild. Has anyone done this themselves and have any pointers? This is the one thing I’ve never done. Any easy way to check for clutch wear? Typical mileage they last? A few videos / threads I found mentioned reusing the pinion shims resulted in the best alignment for them, since shims go to casing not gears. Found the below videos for reference. Nothing I’ve viewed seems... Read more

    The E-Street Difference

    By 318willrun

    I was about 100% spot on with my estimation. 3.3 tenths and approximately 2mph. Here are the two ET slips. I almost got into the 7’s in the eighth. Everywhere on the slip improved. I say approximately 2 mph because I did hit 98 mph but it’s not on the slip I’ve shown. What I’ve shown was my best times with the cast-iron heads.

    Sunroof issues, how to fix

    By fastbee

    Today I was preparing to clean my sunroof drains due to getting a little drip during the last rain spell. I usually just give a courtesy glance at the outside before removing the glass and found what might be my main problem. It seems the back of the sunroof is sitting so low they the seal isn't even touching. I tried everything I could adjust to get it higher without any success. Went ahead and cleaned the drains but probably need to resolve this as it would appear to let water flow in... Read more
