    AC pump - used or reman?

    Some of the fuel jockeys and jockets don't know its ok for you to pump your own fuel and get down right salty about it. Another I had to tell 3 times DIESEL and she still reached to the gas pump. :mad:

    Would you rebuild this starter?

    No and I would be wondering what shape the flywheel is in too.

    fueling up while truck is running?

    For insurance purposes the station where you buy fuel may object. Also make sure you set the parking brake or be a fast sprinter.

    Found a motor home with a Mopar big block and I have some questions

    If its a raised block, to the right of the distributor there is a machined flat surface. It will have the Cubic inches stamped on it. 440, 413, 426 wedge. If it has an AC pump it might be hard to see. 72 had low compression heads and a cast crank.

    Just got a new to me 2001 Ram2500 5.9 24valve 5 speed 4x4 extended cab truck

    Which gear ratio does it have. I think they came with either 3:55 or 4:10 That would influence how tall a tire I would want. and then you have the dowel pin of death to worry about.

    Whats up with the site

    For me it comes and goes. I doubt its the intent of the powers that be. They might be still ironing out the bugs. Unlike some other sites I could name where if you don't pay to upgrade you wait 30 seconds or so for anything to load

    Blazer won't start

    Check the fuel pumps. Not uncommon for the lift pump to stop working. Same thing happened to what's his name over at whatever the name of that site is that I won't mention. Turned out to be a lift pump.

    A hello, My first Post, Thank you's and a Question

    Its a non trubo 6.2 and doesn't smoke, something is wrong for sure. What I don't know but I'm guessing its fuel related. They have two fuel pumps. I'd check the fuel pressure at the lift pump.

    If they aren't stripped out, blue or red lock tight should help or even a dab of clear silicone.

    How do you name your truck?

    I named a truck once years ago and vowed I'd never do it again. I felt like an idiot in the parking garage when I couldn't remember where I parked. OL BLUE WHERE ARE YYYOOOUUUUU!

    440 MOPAR

    Worn cam bearings can let the oil pressure drop. 440's have poor oiling. At high RPM they can pump the pan dry. Unless the oil drain holes in the heads have been opened up. If it were me I'd swap back to a stock oil pump or change the spring out of the high pressure one. Not a big deal due...
