this is for a 79 so i am not sure if it will be 100% the same or not but i figure it has got to be similar. it has the wiring diagrams for a 79 ramcharger/trail duster

93 ramcharger/ram truck factory service manual.

that is pretty cool. i wan't one eventually but finding one that is indecent shape around here is nearly impossible.

could always try to find a truck that is sitting around and swap with it . i am pretty sure there has got to be lots of trucks sitting around that have wiper motors that don't need the

the weather has been unusually warm lately for winter . spent this morning making sure my driveways had no snow on it and spent this afternoon fixing the tail light wiring on this thing. it started out as fixing the short between the drivers side brake light and marker lights. the 1 wire in the connector in the panel behind the tail light was really corroded. i was trying to clean it and it started smoking puffs of smoke every tire the turn signal tried to flash. definitely needed to get it fixed. i also fixed all the wires on the other side and just cut the connector out all together since the connector is so exposed to the weather and only had 2 wires left going through it. it is now all weather proof and should be good to last the winter . i also finally switched out my MacGyver coil setup for the MSD coil. i could possibly be imagining it but i think the engine might be running a bit better with it. i also installed a tach at the same time as installing the coil since i bought the msd coil harness that would allow me to install the tach without cutting any wires. it will be nice to see what the engine is doing all the time.

also i though i would share this since SuperBurban shared it with me. here is the factory service manual for a 93 ramcharger or truck.

it never hurts to try fixing it first. they are definitely a pain in the but to replace tho so make sure you get it working properly before putting it back on. i think you have to loosen or almost remove the brake booster to get them out.

you think someone would probably have a spare or 2 sitting around. i think the motors are pretty compatible between all the 72-93 rams. just the connector changed. all the wires stayed the same. my 81 has the stock wiper motor but has a newer harness. they just made and adapter. it is not pretty but at least they didn't hack the harness to install it and it works.

and the big rig who thought he could

wasn't the greatest day to work on the RC but i felt in the mood to wrench so it happened. it was 1*F out but felt like -15*F with the wind. got the starter out and was able to inspect the solenoid. i didn't see anything wrong with it but the bolts holding it in came out super easy so i think it might have be getting a weak ground along with some crusty connections on the starter. since i have thrown it back in it seem to be working properly again. i also gave my spare starter a once over just in case this starter craps out on me. it has a worn out contact in the solenoid but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little redneck engineering. drilled out a rubber washers to shim the contact over a bit. should be good for many starts if it is needed.

i also finally got the quick connect battery charger connection hooked up on my 81. i have had them for nearly 5 years and been meaning to hook them up but never got around to it. at least now i should be able to charge the trucks battery when needed without popping the hood which will come in very handy since winter is here.

almost sounds like you are in the wrong line of work .

work around the holidays sucks. i am glad they are finally over so that i can go back to a somewhat normal work schedule instead of everything being all over the place.

yup both axles use the drums. i learned that a couple years ago when i tossed the drums from my 91 onto my 93. the 91 had the 8.25 and the 93 has the 9.25. one of the drums on my 93 also warped somehow. i don't get why it warped. i have had the rear brake apart multiple times and pretty much gave them a complete overhaul not long after buying the thing because the adjusters were seized and i blew a brake line. i usually pull the brakes apart at least once a year to clean things up and make sure everything is working properly and adjusted like it should be so it never made sense. i have seen drums on trucks in the past that were well past their useful life expectancy but they never warped. i am almost wondering if it is just crappy quality drums?

well it is not super pretty but it is functional. you know the best part? i found a coil with an internal resister after it was all hooked up when i was looking for a spare coil. oh well. it is done now. i still also got to pull the starter and clean/inspect the solenoid. it is not working all the time especially when colder. you can hear it click but no start.

actually you only need that adapter for the 98 and newer rams or in your case ramchargers. all the LA engines use the cylinder type coils.

thanks. definitely makes choosing the MSD coil easier with some reviews from someone that has one. as far as the accel coil goes. if you ever use it on one of your vehicles you may want to make sure to keep the stock one in the vehicle. they have got multiple bad reviews. some fail at really bad times. there was one on my 81 when i bought it and it would only run right about half the time. mine never completely failed but but i was glad i swapped it out before it did.

that is what i am thinking. they got nothing but good reviews. now i am just trying to make up a list of other parts i want to got with it. i know if i order by sunday there is a good chance it would be here on Tuesday which would work good since i am suppose to work on Wednesday. i don't mind taking the truck to work but i would rather take the RC, i got the truck ready for winter which means it has premium fuel in it. makes the drive to work and back about twice the cost of the RC especially this time of year

thanks. got it going . spent some time MacGyvering a older style coil onto the RC and managed to get it to fire up. i might make a bit more of a temp solution to get by for a few days tomorrow.  currently running the coil without a ballast resister but see about changing that tomorrow. the wire between the coil and distributor is also pretty shoddy but it did what i wanted it to. just need to decide what coil i want. i almost want order a MSD coil but don't know if it would be worth the extra money or not. really just want something that would be reliable.
