Nick is not going to be able to finish this project. His dad has some health issues and Nick will be buying his unfinished house.
Vehicle is a 82 RC. We installed a 360 Magnum with a megasquirt 2+ computer, built by megasquirt.
It is getting signal from a crank position sensor and will start but needs tuning. Driver side window is broken. Front seats are from the 96 1500. New tires (32") on turbine wheels.
$1,500.00
I will dig up some photos and publish here in a short.
Truck is near Iola, Texas.

too bad you guys are so far away. i could use 4x4 ram charger that is in better shape than mine. i swear i need to get a passport so i can come down there and pick myself up a nice clean dodge like that. all the hard work has already been done.

no passport required, send money and call a shipping truck :13:
normally if you consider your time off work, gas, food, hotel... its cheaper to have them do it anyways. You can get quotes all day long and find a good one, if your not in a hurry for it then that makes it better.
Any other excuse :tongue3:
i think shipping the truck 1500 miles might be a bit of a deal breaker. i think it might be a bit more than i can afford. i know i was even thinking about measuring the trailers at work to see if it would fit. i know we usually ship at least 1 trailer down to Texas each week.

I shipped the 2000 Ramcharger from LA to DFW, 1400 or so miles.... $600 bux, and that was going through a broker... but then again I did not cross country borders. But even if you had it just taken to the border then you or someone else drive it across, could work.
Granted if you can get it free on a work trailer, thats even better.
The truck will start and drive but it is not ready for a long road trip. I really think all it needs is some tuning on the computer. The computer is totally capable of lots of actions but Nick has not had the time or the inclination to jump into learning what needs to be done to make it run smooth.
There may be a company that will look at the trends and design a program for a fee.
I have a MS computer that is one step older than this one. I haven't put it in a truck yet and do not have the ability (YET) to tune it.

that is pretty cheap but i think it would be a bit more expensive to take a vehicle across the border. i think i would probably have to pay someone to do all the paperwork and stuff that you have to do that i may not know you need to do to.
i don't think the company i work for would be able to get it here for free. i know there would be taxes and fees that i know i may not be able to 100% cover right now. i think i got to keep saving my pennies and one day i will be able to afford a RC that nice. might have to get a full time job get them pennies quicker.
:hello: Mat, if you ever want to come done and need a place to stay, you are more than welcome.

thanks. i think if i ever head that way i may try to do it for one of those ram jam events. then i could enjoy some off roading while i'm down there. looks like you guys have lots of fun.

you don't have to wait for ram jam, if you come down we can just have a get together just to have one :evil6: we are always looking for an excuse to wheel.
:thumbsup: Yessir !!!!
i just figured everyone always aims for taking time off work for ram jam so that would be a great time. plus i would get to more people that way.

And, a guy that works for me needs a bobcat hauled from Georgia to Houston.
Okay, anyone want to buy my red truck. 82 RC, 90 360 TBI, 390 gears, limited slip in the rear, home made body, electric seats, 33x12.50 Firestone Mud Terrains, American Racing Baja wheels.
$1200
AND, then I will buy Nick's truck.
Hey Ron, did Nick put that truck on CL. I saw one on there that looked just like it.
Why doesn't he just go back to the original setup and get it running. That's gotta be the deal breaker. No one's sure about it. I bet it would sell real quick in running condition and he could sell the other setup separately. Does he still have the original parts to get it going again?
You don't understand. It is running. It just needs to be fine tuned.

The fine tuning part is what takes so long. My 92 magnum (stock setup) runs (and will soon be drivable) but its not tuned. Setting the fuel sync on these earlier versions is a real PITA
Yall waited too late for this one. I bought it. It will be coming home in a few days.

I'm home sick today and getting some pics ready for a prospective buyer. If I don't get something going soon on it I will part it out. Matched axles with 390 gears and a rear limited slip. 360 TBI that runs. 727/208, electric seats for the Willyreplica, tires and wheels, cameras, gun safe, on board air, battery and more...

Hope you feel better soon... but please don't part it out .... I can't afford all the stuff I might want off it right now :laughing7:
:dance: Doing the happy dance for you. Glad it's going to a good home.

My fear is that I will want to keep it all. Would the axles with the 390 gears and the 33s go good with the magnum 360?

Well it has a 727 behind it right? yours have a 727 or a 518?
Either way I think it would work good. I have 392's on the 2000 now and it works good. I think 390's would be the smallest you would want with 33's
Its why I need more gear for the 93, it has 33's granted those tires are trash and I need new ones, but I would like to keep the 33's on it.
Actually, it should be 390 gears in the 9 1/4 and 392 in the D44. If they get much farther apart than that you begin to have traction problems on slick surfaces. I had a ferd suspension once that had 354 in the front and 350 in the back. Both axles had limited slip. It could not be driven on ice. The rear axle was determined to pass the front.
