I imagine there is software for scanning and doing a internet search for any image ever posted.....I just do not have the time or inclination to search them out. People with that much time should be here at my house working....lol

right click, click inspect....read...

for sure 100% hot wire so that there will be no supply of voltage to the in-progress wiring that may be at risk...be terrible to smoke a new harness

while it is true that many modern pieces of off road still use the oil bath due to its superiority in removing small particulates....the cost of the oil and downtime for service makes it not user friendly in today's disposable world. I think you will find that the mesh prefilter is way less restrictive than modern pleated paper and the sharp u-turn that the air takes slings the particles out of the air is not restrictive to flow as each filter is designed for the CFM of the engine it is attached.

care to elaborate a bit?

yes, it is amazing how many will trash a classic with that LS junk....

you can go to the dodge truck forums but in my experience with them....you will know as much if not more than the guys who will be responding to your question. To be sure I would venture to the local dealer, find a top tuner in the repair department and bounce this off him. He will know what computers and such will be able to be flashed for what combination of engine and transmission....as the computer drives both in that era.

the site is not realistic in that not all models represented and no description of what would contribute to a car in good condition based on excellent or fair. Raw number is nothing here but an insurance value at replacement cost should there be a totaled vehicle payout. Trust me these guys will arrive at a fair market value that will leave you saying 'what'

there is nothing anyone here may say that would prevent/sway me from making an inspection. 4 hours.....I have had sneezing jags last longer than that....if the blurb and pictures show the car presentable, make the move to inspect...only you can make that call. Sounds like you have no problem driving to the shore home when you want. Step up or step away.

I have these pictures of my air cleaner conversion....not at all hard.....best to have a good zizz wheel style cutter, I predominately use a RA grinder with 4" discs. These pics will not be up long due to running out of space to post images......yes, the general consensus here is that the small filters do not have enough surface area for proper air flow.

ir simply gut the oil bath unit and drop in a dry cartridge and have the best of both worlds...well the oil bath is the best for cleaning the air, but the cartridge is cleaner when comes to handling.

if you trouble shooting the system.....deenergize the ignition and or circuit not included in the troubleshooting.....none of this is rocket science as is the chime nothing but a routine install.

I was sitting back all this time and wondered who would be first to reference compression.......all this time there has been zero feedback as to voltage drop or current draw test made by the OP which ponders me to ask, just how serious is this issue

The original poster of this thread has not logged on in over 8 1/2 years......

a drum brake system has the residual built into the master is approx 10psi. SO yes, while not added...should be in the system. These are usually behind the line adapters of the master body. With the issue you are having.....and I hate to suggest this given the work you have done but if you do not know what is wrong, prove what is right. I feel each segment of the system needs inspection and validation. You have done the master pretty much, now is time to hand over hand all the lines for kinks, pull and verify they are not stopped up. Including such things as the brake switch T and the rear T at the axle and ALL rubber flex hoses. Ok, sit back now and vent at my suggestion.....I know you are about put out with the brakes and I have probably added to your level of frustration. That is ok, I am in the shop and cannot hear with the noise I am making out there on my own. Remember a flex hose will flow under pressure of the master but return to the master from the drum springs is a weaker push and can prevent flow....HOWEVER if not totally plugged, the aforementioned scenario often cause dragging/locking brakes.

as kencombs stated above.....you could have a voltage drop within the cable(s) or one of/all the connections need to be cleaned and confirmed. Use a VOM for the voltage drop test. YOU can also check the starter for excessive current drain with a clip on or inline shunted amp meter. Big problem in the starter is usual suspect of elongated rear bushing...this causes the armature to be out of alignment with the coils and drag....this will slow a starter, heat a cable and at the same time drag a charged battery to its knees in short order. Have fun, brutally hot and humid at my place....soldiering on with body work.....yeah....ugh..!

Fargo was the export name for the Dodge truck.....it was to be world market vehicle.

this was important detail that should have been mentioned up front here on the forum when asking for troubleshooting help

only if you continue to think that way

order through E-bay. PUSH ON SPEED NUT....and order by the diameter of the stud and quantity you will need.

most all hardware stores have these.....usually about 25 cents each....

I never did get a pilot house, looked at one....so have the Morris for now....put corner glass in it...it would pass as a 3/4...nah, 1/2 size maybe

while good to have it stock with the shielded cable, rest assured, if they have access to the interior and the ignition switch they have access to the hood lease and up the hood, and if your car is in good tune, they out of there in under a minute with a jumper wire.....maybe now if you have a hidden electric fuel pump switch, this may slow them down.

I thought all bobcat loaders drove squishy....I have my son's skid steer here at the house and have rehosted it with a later engine....he has yet to pick it up as I personally do not care for hydraulics which is needed now. It also does not have the bucket attached.....it is extremely dangerous in my opinion.

thanks for joining in.....yeah, I feel to get to my target goal of roadability, I will need be seeking some sage diesel tuner. My first diesel, steep learning curve in my future.
