ELLIS!! Your 93 wiring diagrams just saved my ass. It didn't save me from hacking the other half of the of the Ramcharger wiring harness apart chasing a no-charge, but it did eventually lead me to that mystery relay on the fender that wasn't working. A little jumper across its terminals had it charging like new.

Now I've got to figure out where to get new relays.

Glad they helped you out

I was thinking more like a trade of currency rather than a truck, or like a I borrow it for a while, and some mysterious rp grades find their way under the hood

Levi, them relays, Carquest part # 56-1668, RY108 is what on the box, the relay it self has 914129 printed on the top of it.

[Tacoclaw]

Thanks, man!

Hopefully mine will be rolling in sometime today, the number I found for them was RY119. Then I have to rewrap my whole harness, put the hood and grill on, and renew my tags.

I've also got a hydroboost setup heading my way from Mark, but I've driven the old Dodge for so long with no brakes I'm sure I can handle this until I feel like doing the swap.

[Tacoclaw]

Guess who's charging now?

Gonna practice some hacking on the rear quarters for a wraparound bumper, probably hack off the rockers and make some sliders, and section the front fenders. I'm hoping to squeeze 35's on this thing with as little lift as possible.

I'm kinda excited to have a rusty body now. I'm gonna hack the sthi out of this thing.


Flexes better than I expected.

Oh yeah how long is that gonna take.......

[Tacoclaw]

Honestly?

However long it takes for me to find the steel scrap I need to do it. There's a pretty decent amount of Dodges already cut up like that, so I've got plenty to go on. I just refuse to pay for fresh steel so I'm at the mercy of out scrap pile.

We did recently purchase a machine shop, so my odds have increased by about 10000%, but with the hours I work anymore Who knows when I'll get to check it out.

I'm thinking that I need to put a different boost switch in and bring the water on at 40 psi and back the water down some. I will prolly go back to straight water and test it before adding meth back into it.

Has anyone ever done dyno testing with water injection going from straight water to washer fluid? Having trouble getting the tractor to stay lot when the water comes on. Comes on good with the charger and then water comes and puts it out. Running three enderle alcohol injection nozzles, 700-750 psi, and about a pint and a half of water in 15 seconds. Any ideas? Thinking running straight washer fluid with oil may help but not 100%.

Water is there to cool EGTs. Too much and you lose the heat energy for the turbo. The water/meth may help but it sounds like it's too much period.

If your non step bumper is worth a sthi, im interested. Seems that when a certain somebody borrows one for thier 84 rc on the conditoon of returning it when the time to sell comes along, it really means piss off and its going with the truck to the new owner.

[Tacoclaw]

Ha! We've got a friend that's famous for that in our circle, I feel your pain.

I'll let you know when the time comes, I may also have a 2nd one on the RC on the hill.

[PToombs]

Levi, what's that oil rig? Is it functional?

Jeff, you should have grabbed your balls from the ol' ladies purse, gone over and pulled the bumper off it.

[Tacoclaw]

Yeah, it's up on the hill behind our house. Lots-o-pump jacks around these parts, I'm rocking free gas.

You me to go around taking pics of them all? I seriously will, I've got some Ramcharging to do.

[PToombs]

No crap, that's a working unit? No need to take pics of them all, but you could drive around and count them all. (just trying to help you out buddy! )

[Tacoclaw]

There's 3 within 200 yards of my house.

[RumbleFish]

I tried. Did i mention this somebody was my dad? I went out to swap bumpers and the truck was sold already.
