Popular Post other dog Posted September 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2015 on the way home from the eye doctor in Madison Heights. I saw it sitting on rt.24 between Rustburg and Concord on the way home yesterday. Today I mentioned that it was a nice looking truck after we passed by it so Jo grabbed the emergency brake handle and did a 180 in 24 running about 93 mph, like Vin Diesel, to go back and look at it.She told me to buy it, but I don't know- I don't need it. The Ranger still runs good as new. Four wheel drive could come in handy though. I crawled all up under it today, but I don't need it. Looked pretty good though, well taken care of- just a few tears in the driver's side of the seat, but that's to be expected. Had a new starter on it. I couldn't get the hood open to look at the engine, it might open from the inside. They've got $3500 on the windshield- sounds pretty fair, but I don't need it anyway. 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

41chevy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Offer them $3000 in $20 dollar bills and drive it home. Almost every panel and mechanical part is available new or used for them.

mack mhe9 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 92 or 93? Probably 318 magnum very good fuel inj eng. If it smokes it probably needs an intake pan gasket. Easy fix.Rust? Look under the rocker panel up to the floorboard to the back of the cab there's a cab down brace that are the first to rust out. And where the radiator support bolts to the frame up front. There's a bolt on each side of it to the frame mount. That also is a high rust area.W and D model dodges are getting harder to find. Better buy it.Good luck.

other dog Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 hmmmmm...you guys are going to talk me into buying a truck I don't need. Maybe it'll be sold by the time I go back and look at it tomorrow- I mean if I were to go look at it tomorrow. Motor might be locked up in it or something. Might have 900,000 miles on it too. I do like the looks of it though. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mack mhe9 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 If it's a 91 with a 318 it should be throttle body fuel inj. Was good for its time. I think 2 maybe 3 years production run harder to get parts for but easy to swap over to a carburetor and all the old stuff if need be.

I think 2 maybe 3 years production run harder to get parts for but easy to swap over to a carburetor and all the old stuff if need be.Not hard at all. The Throttle body unit is a Holley Pro-jection unit and was also sold aftermarket . Gaskets, injectors and sensors are still available from Holley. My '88 is the first year of TBI aside from a 26 year old TPS wearing out and a lazy fuel pump relay no problems at all.

other dog Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 there's part of your post that I can't make out,can someone translate what "a truck I don't need " means. Good point- I see a lot of stuff sitting up and down the road for sale and don't pay it any mind usually, but that little Dodge really got my attention. Think i'll call the guy tomorrow and take another look. I've got to go right by it again tomorrow anyway. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

JTFormula Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That grill was from 91-93, Fuel injection started in 88 or 89 if I remember correctly. I've had three Ramchargers (1983, 1990, 1991) as well as an 86 Shortbed 4x4. The shortbed 4x4 is by far the hardest to find, especially without rust. Great motors, great trans, these things run forever. buy it and don't look back. You will be happy in the long run. 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41853-looked-at-a-dodge-today/#findComment-304396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hope it hasn't been sold by the time I get back.I was wondering why the pictures weren't real clear. I had the big camera with me today, and I looked at it to see what setting it was on after I put the pictures on the computer. The lens was on manual focus and I didn't even focus it at all.
