1983 Dodge D150 - Backroads fun - 4 speed manual / manual steering
zhlédnutí 108Před měsícem
This truck is a handful with manual steering on these roads, gotta be careful of gravel from driveways and people doing dumb things around corners. I didn't go as fast as I could 'cause that would be reckless and stupid. Last time I did that in a Dodge I almost hit a bear up to his hindquarters in a trash can in the middle of the road. The truck is a 1983 Dodge D150 short bed "Miser" trim, fact...

Question: Do you still have the /6 engine?
No, I sold it after it was pulled. I don't have room for spare engines, did the swap in my driveway.
@@DeadReckon I was hoping you still had it, and would sell the smog pump bracket. I need one to get my D-100 inspected, seems they check that stuff now, always passed before without the smog pump but not now. Got a pump but no bracket to mount the damned thing. Turns out to be a difficult piece to find for a /6, nobody kept them. Salute, to changing engines in the driveway. Been there done that twice. (different vehicles)
@@tonyunderwood9678 Ah gotcha, they don't care about smog pumps around here, if my truck came with one it was deleted way before I got it. They do perform a visual inspection for a cat sometimes, but they don't do emissions sniffing or care about smog or EGR.
@@DeadReckon Watch where you take it for a state inspection. I'm in Garden City, took my truck to Kelly's on G.C. Blvd. They gigged it for not having a smog pump. Hell, it never had one long as I've had it, previous owner likely removed it. I guess I could always look around for another inspection spot and have it re-inspected, although Kelly's said that the inspection places are being told to check stuff like that. Tacky.. I mean damn it's a 39 year old truck and they wanna flunk it for not having a smog pump, and only northern VA. actually sniffs for smog, not around here. Thinking maybe Kelly's is being a bit nitpicky... They actually said it would be legal to tag and drive it as an antique but if it's registered for standard plates (this one is) it's illegal to operate it without the smog pump. I mean wtf... Might end up finding some other inspection station that's not so gestapo'ish if I can't turn up a smog pump mount bracket.
@@tonyunderwood9678 Never used them, don't want to put the people I do use out on the internet either JIC. If you happen to catch me at home one day I can recommend a few places to go for inspection. I won't name the shop but I had one in trouble with the State Police over my '93 F150, it had a courtesy light over the bed, not a 3rd brake light, failed me for a 3rd brake light being out... That was a long, pain in the ass day.
clips?
They can technically go either way......gay as fuck pins fr
I never had RoadRage until I moved to Roanoke. Worst drivers I've ever seen. It's like a bunch of Helen Keller, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles's on the road. My insurance agent said Roanoke has the highest insurance rates in VA which is sad. Loved the video
Just did my '93. The pins instead of bolts are a poor design and a pain. Spray with brake cleaner before beginning. Then with WD 40 around the pins. The fine brake dust is very toxic wear gloves and a mask. A punch of the correct size will knock the pins out, not vise grips or a screw driver. They will punch out toward the truck. Actually they will punch out either direction. Put an old brake pad across the cylinder and press them in with the C clamp. It's a good idea to repack the bearings while rebuilding brakes. Also remove the cap on the master cylinder. That way when the cylinder is compressed you will not leak fluid or put too much pressure on the brake lines. I'm sure he is a good old boy shade tree mechanic, but hope these suggestions help a newbie. Pads are not difficult with a little forthought. The old style shoes with all the springs and levers are an invention of the devil.
That Brand of Fuel Pump is now made in Mexico. Just got one right now
Figures.
iv done breaks before. but never seen any held in like this. confused the hell out of me... was thinking i was going to need some specal tool. i guess a claw hammer works fine. lol
It's a really old way of doing it, and there is a good reason they don't do this anymore haha
My 83 w150 short bed has a 318 and a 2 bbl and it is gutless it’s super doggy
They're great if you rebuild them, could also be the electronic ignition screwed up. My truck has points ignition, brand new distributor for like a 72 D100 I got off RockAuto. These carburetors once rebuilt run great.
@@DeadReckon we rebuilt mine and it still doesn’t run right I can’t figure out why and it might be the ignition screw up because I hit a bump hard enough my truck would shut off and I would have to go wiggle a wire and it was good again
@@Greasy_Rat_garage Yeah sounds like you got electrical gremlins. One of the reasons I got a points distributor for my truck. Here's the part numbers for the distributor and coil I used, the coil is different on points, I don't remember why SKP SKDICH05 STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS UC12
@@DeadReckon thanks I’m gona pull my cap and check it
@@Greasy_Rat_garage The hall effect sensors in those distributors can cause issues too, wiring between the control box on the fender or firewall, lots of ways they can fail.
😂🤣😅🤣🤣😂 you sound like me with Goldie.. always doing something extra lol
Is that electric hahaha
What?
I forgot to mention it was for my 2000 dodge ram 318 magnum V8
I have a mini glass pack cherry bomb muffler or that's what I call them its a 8 inch long case..
He finally gets to use his dads truck motor since dead reckon had said his dad had that dodge truck for years when he was growing up...
Not when I was growing up, but my Dad had that truck for nearly 10 years before he died, he really liked that old Dodge.
No mufflers lol
Did you say that when you sold it? Seem like a educated mechanic but.....

@@TacuacheDelpradoverde Yep
my dad has a 73 with dual exhaust and a 400. that im trying to track down a wiring issue on.
They do have wiring issues but they're such nice cars, I miss mine so much.
@@DeadReckon would you happen to know if a starter being completely stuck would mess up any electrical stuff? when i turn the key absolutely nothing happens, im thinking its the fuses, a chewed wire, or the ignition switch, but im not sure if it could potentially be the starter or not
@@Oddball159 Could've overheated wiring, get a test light or power probe and start poking, start at the battery, work your way back. Make sure the ignition solenoid has power and is being triggered by the key, you'll need two people for that unless you got stretchy arms haha.
Tengo uno igualito asta de color tiene 230,000 millas y aun anda super el motor obviamente con los gastos obligatorios de sus servicios únicamente aaa y le cambie el alternador super autos muy muy bien fabricados
Used to have a Nissan Sentra XE that i got after bending half the valves in a 1999 Concorde. Before getting an 84 4x4 Nissan 720, then an 82 2wd Nissan 720, then an 84 2wd Nissan 720.
Great video had a 72 dodge D100 with a 318
This was a factory /6 but I swapped in the 318. The A-833 and rear diff have taller gearing 'cause it was a 6 cylinder truck, so it's a riot to drive even though the rear springs are begging to be relieved of duty.
Have you found a solution
I got rid of the car 'cause you gotta drop the engine to replace it.
Can you do a vid on the AC retrofitting.. im stuck in the belts i caht find the replacement
I don't have the truck anymore, sorry, wish I'd kept it!
Dealing with crank no start on my '81 W250, manual. Truck has always been reliable with the exception of cold starts after a week which is understandable. It's sat the better part of the last year & upon going to starting it using fresh fuel in the carb nothing. Pulled #1 plug & no spark. Checked my coil have voltage & primary & secondary coils are good.
The electronic ignition box may be faulty, the only way to really tell since you're not getting spark but are getting coil voltage is to swap it out. I've linked some new ones below, but I've had so many issues with these owning a few of these trucks over the years I just converted my '83 to points ignition. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,1981,w150+pickup,5.2l+318cid+v8,1099920,ignition,ignition+control+module+(icm),7172
Great cars but the way the valve seats are designed, one of them will almost certainly fail at some point. They still sell refabbed heads for these which correct the issue, must get if you plan on relying on this. Dropped valve seat can cause a lot of damage. They are otherwise really nice cars. My first car was a '99 Escort Wagon.
I let this one go down the road, was way more than I planned on getting into.
Really glad I read this. I have a 97' wagon with 120'000 kilometers on it, love the little thing; definitely want to keep it.
This is the sound I am going to dearly miss when the electric car takes over. God be with us!
They won't take over, it's a passing fad
You needn't concern yourself. There will be gas cars on the road for a long, long time to come... especially classic cars.... electric cars or no electric cars.
ford factory exaust was horrible in the 70s.no wondered they struggled to make horses.log manifolds with pinched y pipes feeding a 2 inch muffler & tailpipe.a 289 can barely breathe thru that set up.much less for a 400 or 429.
It was intentional to get power down and fuel economy up.
I dunno,,,too many irritating things wrong with this car...not a bargain for $1 grand...a few years ago, I found a Park Ave, one-owner, with 90,000 miles on it...always garaged, paid $800 bucks for it. It needed a new set of tires, and the AC compressor was no good. But otherwise, it was excellent all the way. Now have 145,000 miles--no problems, and that 3800V6 apparently lasts forever. I guess you enjoy fixing things?
Considering I drove the car for a while then sold it for $1,800, I'd say I got my money out of it.
i love your energy in the video but i would hate to see you put a engine together 😅
I used to work at an Oldsmobile dealership. A woman in the office bought a new 1979 Holiday 88.
I miss this car but I didn't have the means to fix it right at the time, sold it to a guy who took it up to Ohio to restore. He was gonna use this as a parts car but he realized the car he already had became the parts car haha.
Yo i almost picked one of those up a couple years ago, but it was a 2 door and that year i want a 4 door. Same green though, such a vibe. Sounds great!!
Yeah I miss this car, it was sweet.
keep gunning that shit bro :)
Oh if I'd had some land to drive that car on, it would've had way more than full throttle to worry about after letting me down like it did.
Sounds great.
It sounds like the morning after burrito night but still this is dope
Nah you're confusing that for a Honda. I miss that car, it was sweet.
Nah this definitely sounds like the morning after burrito night, speaking from recent experience
@@CallMeMrStopmotion So you don't like American V8's, keep it to yourself.
@@DeadReckon Lmao you saying that knowing the things I do on my channel is quite ironic; but I get it, even if it's trash, a man can still feel the need to defend what he has. That being said this LTD still sounds like the beefy nacho griller I shat out about 4 days ago, however that will never make it any less cool in anyone's eyes, clearly
@@CallMeMrStopmotion Considering you come to other peoples channels to nitpick, I don't *WANT* to see what you do on your channel. Barring that, this was the exhaust the car had when I got it, and I sold this car four years ago.
i just put back the stock muffler on my truck after having tried a glass pack and a turbo muffler think the truck with no muffler was quieter than the glass pack.
Uncle Buck
In this case you can replace the egr instead pulling out the magnet? Will this help?
The nuts were rusted badly and I didn't want to risk breaking them off
Sounds mean. Love the color of the interior
Julian?
Who?
Go lookup a picture of Julian from the trailer park boys and tell me that ain't you, all is missing is the drink 😂😂
@@wil3612 A bit yeah, but I've also been told I look like Jesus, John Wick, and a few others haha
Sounds awesome! ❤❤💪🏻🦶
going to need more of this :D
Craft up a template in the shape of the oval the radio fits into but with rectangle hole for normal radio. Then add a tach somewhere for revs. Likely gonna need some higher end speakers than the dandruff paper cracklers thats in the doors now... it will be ghetto fabulous in no time! I like it, cool little car. 😊
Hunk some beer cans out the windows on the gravel roads for sure with that one.😂
Don't drink, don't like people who litter, had to clean that shit up at the house I grew up in. Road was above the roof line of the house on the hill, we frequently found cans and bottles on our roof.
@DeadReckon it's a joke dude, stereotypical of that kinda car.
Since there’s only a little coolant on that cylinder, just use a head gasket sealer, there like 35$ and they work if it’s bars stop leak, it’s sealed head gaskets on CZcams with solid proof. It contains liquid glass and gasket fibers.
I would if the car had a valid inspection and didn't need tires, if I could nurse it along for a while and it was already registered, sure, but I ain't even got this thing in my name yet.
You should be able to tell which way your phone is by the camera if it's up or down
What year again
It was a 1996, sold it years ago, the car had electrical gremlins.
How did you get the bottom starter bolt loose? That thing is a pain
Had to jack the car way up and go in from below, can barely get up in there too it. Stupid design.
Overlook the killer camaro from outer space... 😂😂😂
Yep haha
Why is it that the American export model European Ford is more European than the European Fords here. Also that radio is really awful lol
Yeah the head unit is going away very soon for a pioneer head unit I've had in a few cars now. This car is kind of weird in a lot of ways. Also I still smell the gas, I think that smoke is burned into my nose 🤣
If you want the sensor light to turn off the factory book says to unplug it after 90k miles 😂
Yeah I never got around to doing that, sold that truck, I really miss it!
Great revving!
