I started with a 92 Green Canyon Sport that ended up being too bad to fix, so I now have a 91 White Canyon sport that is taking its place. The motor from the 92 is going into the 91, but before that there is a lot of other work.
It just took off to the body shop to get some rust repair and to prime the interior and engine bay.
Where did you get the tow dolly? We had a hard time finding one wide enough here to hold a RC.
We had 33x12.50 tires and 10" wide aluminum wheels on it though. That might have made some difference.
yeah I had 31x10.5 and it was really close to not fitting.
well finally have a little progress here.
They are sanding on the inside and the firewall, more black etch primer is on its way now. Lets hope we can get this part wrapped up soon... its dragged on for too long.
the front section of that ram charger almost looks brand new.

yeah it only took 8 weeks to get that done, lets see if we can get them moving faster and keep the quality up. The plan is for this to look brand new when its done... then it will never get to go off road again :crybaby2:
but for what I will have in it I don't think people can blame me. Once its done I get to start the trail rig :laughing7:
Maybe I did them in the wrong order but it will all work out.
The new black primer came in, will drop it by today.
Friday they had a bit more done.... figure Ron is jealous now... Olive Drab anyone? :laughing7:

So I missed the guys at the shop of friday, but called and talked with the painter.... he said it should be ready to come back to my house monday!!!! :headbang: :laughing7: :great: :13:
Its been a long time coming. Now what "ready to come back" means I am not sure, but I am expecting for them to have welded up the spots we found, fixed the 1 rust spot, etch primer'd the firewall and inside and the exposed frame.
When I get it back I have a long list of things to do.
drop gas tank
clean under body
etch primer frame and under side of body
underbody coat body
replace rear springs
replace front springs
install Jungle HD bushings all around and front rear
replace steering column
Replace steering gear box
replace body bushings
Once all that is done I can finally start working to get the engine and tranny back in (man thats a long list).
But once again before I do that I want to reinstall the heater box, which means new heater core and evaporator (both worked before, but why put 20 year old parts back in hard to get to spots).
So with a little down time last night I took to cleaning the engine a bit, nothing like getting out of order :laughing7:
I have some more of the silver engine paint along with some header paint for my headers. They will get all cleaned up and painted for for it all goes back in.
Hopefully monday I have pics of the truck back at my house. I plan to take a 1/2 day off from work if its ready so I can get it all handled.
Ok so I think it will work this time, had to reboot the server because uploads were jacked.. Did some upgrades while I was at it.
So the 91 is now home in my garage again. Very strange to see it there instead of the 2000. At any rate the guys did a great job on what they have done so far. They got the rust on the passenger side fixed up and primer'd. Also got the inside floor and the engine bay.
Now I get to start on my long list of to do's and get it back to them ASAP to finish it off.
I will get some more pics tomorrow, forgot to get one of the rust spot.
So my first todo was the rear springs, figured why not.
I got it on jack stands, took the tires off and got weight off the springs. Supported the axle and got the ubolts off.
I then went to try and get the shackle bots off and those suckers are not budging... now thinking about it... maybe the weight of the springs are causing them to bind? I will try putting a small load back on them and see if that helps. I soaked with oil and will try again tomorrow.
Just for grins I put the new springs up to the old ones... Thats a nice lift. Of course I bought those springs as a 2.5" lift and 2" blocks vs the 3.5" block so that I would have more spring, less block and a slightly higher stance. I think it will work out nicely. But that seems more like a 4" lift not a 2.5"
:great: Man that thing looks sweet. Great job Ryan!
I still have a very very long way to go :crybaby2:
I did order the new A/C parts - heater core, evap, condensor, expansion valve, and hoses. I will find a new compressor before its all put back together. It was a pretty dime I hated to part with, but not as much as I would hate having to go back into the dash to fix it again after the 20 year old parts failed in the not too distant future.
I also ordered some "GTMAT" aka knockoff dynamat. I have 200 sq ft of it so we shall see how much that lets me get done between the 2 trucks. I will focus on the firewall and in front of the doors on the 91, then use the rest on the 2000 as it will be back to road driving quicker. Then if needed I can order some more.
I read some about a "smell" after you install these things, so I guess once its done I will have to let it all air out for a bit.
So I got all sorts of presents yesterday and today. :character0029:
I still have not made any progress on the rear springs, it keeps being too late to be loud when I get out there. Hopefully tomorrow proves to be productive.
I did manage to do other stuff today. I checked out all my goodies that I ordered, figured out that I need to order 1 more section of A/C hose so that its all new. That new hose looks really nice too.
I got in the attic and pulled down the dash, heater box, and wire harnesses so I can be ready to start putting those back in as well. Now that the truck is back I have lots of room in the back of it for temp storage.
I went head and started working on the sound deading mat. It went on pretty good, I still got a few bubbles to get out but I like it. I did the firewall, the sides before the doors, and the floors up to the lift where the rear bench bolts. Its hard to tell how much of a difference it will make yet since the whole thing is not done yet. All that I have done took 50 sq ft of mat, so I will no doubt have to order more mat before I am done with both trucks. I am going to save the rest of this order for the 2000, as it will be back on the road before this one.
Since the heaterbox was down I started looking at it to see what I would need to do.
Its dirty, so a good cleaning is in order. I will also replace the heater core and evaporator just to be on the safe side.
The new evaporate is HUGE no wonder these things were cold, the new ones (like in my durango) are tiny compared to that sucker.
Anyway I moved the air intake door to look and found this. Apparently I need to clean inside too.
This makes me remember to install a "screen" to help avoid this issue in the future.
I remember my truck throwing random leaves at me when I first got it. A lot of guys install clean-outs for this. I saw a video on YouTube the other day. Might give you an idea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly0FY4sIa94
yeah I am not wanting to do that, I want to put screen on the openings to keep it from coming in. I think that looks better.
Well it took me 2 trips to northern tool and 5 hours, but I got the passenger rear leaf springs out. Man that was a beating. :violent1:
I had to remove
the rear bumper
the receiver hitch
the skid plate
the gas tank
just so I could get at the lower rear hanger bolt that was stuck to the bushing. Once I finally got it out I started looking at all my parts to put it back in. I ordered parts from Jungle, and wanted to use his bushings.... new springs came with bushings :angry4:
I did figure out a ball joint tool works pretty good to remove those bushings... about 15 min and I had the new "old" ones out and getting the new ones in.
I was looking at the shackle, its bushing was also toast. Jungle did not have one for it so he just sent me the bolt. So after I got the bushing out I was looked and figured I could make one fit. I pulled out my bench grinder and went to town making it smaller. Worked pretty good, or so it seems. I guess time will tell. So I have to get with Jim and order 2 more bushings so I can have all the parts for the other side.
I did find some bad news, after I dropped the tank I noticed a crack in it :crybaby2: I knew it had leaked but I figured it was an old hose not a crack in the tank. If I had know that I would not have sold my spare tank. Oh well I will patch it up then fill it with water and see how I did.
One thing that is interesting so far.. these springs are WAY bigger than the old ones. I should only get a 1" or so lift with my spring/ block combo but its looking like a whole lot more than that. I will get the passenger side put back together tomorrow and take some pics. right now it does not look a lot different from the earlier pics.
Well did not get home early enough to make tons of nosy, so I had to settle working on something quieter. I choose the HVAC box since I went last week and bought some foam, I wanted to see how it would look.
It was already all apart, which is why I decided I needed new foam... it feel apart in my hand. I was not able to find any kits online so I went to a local ACE hardware and made my own. I first removed the old foam then the plastic backing it had. I then took this foam kit that was made to insulate the sides of window ac units. It worked perfect it was almost the right width and 2 parts made it so not much was cut off.
once cut to size I had to cut out the openings inside. I did this a little trial and error with my razor blade but it fit really good I think. I then took some 3M spray glue and soaked it down and put it on. I think its going to work really well, but won't know until its dry and I have the inside done.
As I have mentioned I have a new heater core and evap. So I have to prep them and get them installed, then I can button up the box and put the outside foam on and mount it back in the truck. Once thats done I will be able to get the dash and wire harness in as well.
Tomorrow I am going to work on finishing the suspension. I don't have the permeant bushings for the driver rear, but I will make due until they come in. Once the rear is done I want to replace the front springs and rear spring hanger with Jungle's setup. Hopefully it goes faster than the rear did.
Finally got to work on the suspension again. I could not for the life of me get the driver rear front bolt out. I ended up having to cut the front of the spring off so I could get a cut off wheel in there to cut the bolt off. What a mess!!!! :angry4:
Finally get the new one in there and lower it down on the tires. I took this chance to swap from the Falcons which I am selling Ron to the BFG that I bought for the 92. After it was down on the wheels it was 44" to bottom of wheel well and the bottom of the rear window was at my chin!!!!!!!!! :confused2:
I was suppose to get a 2" lift not a 6" lift (or whatever size that is) I removed the 2" block that was under the springs and got it down to 41.5" at the wheel well. Its better, and my front should be about 39 or so once its done. It will squat at the front which I don't like but I won't know how bad it is until the front clip is back on.
I also got the passenger front swapped over and should get the driver front swapped tomorrow. I then need to finish the heater box and changing a few vacuum hoses on the engine and then I can put it back in. Maybe by the end of the month I can have the engine back in her.
I will get some pics tomorrow after the front is finished up.
Can't wait to see some pics of the Jungle shackle kits installed.
So did you buy some lifted leaf springs? What brand and lift did you use?

I actually don't have the Jungle shackles installed yet, I was tired of fighting with suspensions so I just wanted to get it rollin again. I drilled out the bracket holes to fit the 5/8 bolts and called it good for now. And now that I have a 2nd I am debating on if I need/ want it on this one since it won't be off roading.
I have a bad feeling that due to the higher than expected rear end that the front is going to be lower than I want, which means I will prob do the upgrades on here and then get some longer brackets/ shackles whatever to help raise the front up some.
The front springs are a ebay special. they were NOS for the Rodd Hall racing truck. they have 5 springs vs the normal 2 and are stiff as all get out, but they are good for 2+ inch of lift.
The rear are Rough Country 4.5" lift I think. I thought it was 4.5" of lift with the 3.75" block in place and that adding a 2" block would give me a 2.5 - 3" lift. Well it seems I have about that WITHOUT any block lol. I now have to get new rear u bolts so that the threads are long enough to deal with not having blocks.
I will take some pics tonight. I am still in shock since its a lot taller than what I had planned, then I went and bought another RC so more shock.
I do think the Rough country kit seemed to install pretty good. I was really glad that the studs on the front axle came out and went in pretty easy. Heck for that matter the whole front end came apart a lot better than the rear lol
I guess worse comes to worse I may remove those rear springs off this and get some new smaller ones for it and move those rough country to the 93.... but thats going to have to be a while... I don't want to fight rear leaf spring bolts for a very very long time. lol
Lookin' good. :thumbsup:
:iagree:
Played sick at work today so I could have some me time... me with my truck :evil6:
got a good bit done. The front suspension is done. I have a few more things to do to the rear but it rolls again, just don't roll it far as the rear axle is not bolted down lol.
I then cleaned the "belly" where the drivetrain goes. That was a mess, but it looks good now. I threw a coat of etch primer on it along with some undercoat black paint. The paint shop will do more and the stuff I did not get, but I had to get above the drivetrain.
I then got brave and said screw it, I want to have a great day. So it now has a drivetrain again. No wires, computer, radiator, core support, etc... BUT it HAS an engine!!! lol
the engine :13: :dance:
not sure why the site put it upside down... but let me tell you it was a real PITA to do that all upside down :icon_scratch:
It was a pita getting those engine mounts to like up for me, the engine was not 100% level when it was coming down, but I got it figured out.
Good progress :thumbsup:
it is looking good. i like how you got the pulleys painted.
I painted the whole motor that color, granted it was not as clean as I wanted... but short or doing a rebuild and a bath it was not going to get that clean. So I did what I could to make it look better. I know the rebuild day will come, and then it will look much better.
I did not get a pic, but I also painted the headers a similar color with header paint. Its prob a good thing too, the factory black was all but gone and it looked like it was trying to start to rust in a few places. These are less than a year old!!! no wonder people complain about them. But since they were out I figured a new coat of paint would help.
I have to order a few additional parts... header gaskets and what not. I also need a trip to the JY to find some new front fenders, if I don't find any in good shape there then I will go after market. The previous ones were ok, but had some rust on them and some dents. I am betting I end up going after market :dontknow:
Going to get the core support and inner fenders tomorrow. I ordered up new header gaskets and bolts.
I have a busy weekend, but maybe I can get a lot done wed and thurs and get it running again real soon. I still need to figure out my fenders and work on the grille a lot more.
According to my Dad, Sam still hasn't picked up those fenders yet. :dontknow:
Of course, they are all the way down in Corpus Christi. Bring the motor and I'll go get the fenders and we can meet somewhere in the middle. :steeringwheel:
:laughing4:
I did not like those fenders the first time, not sure this would be any better.
I am thinking I might go look in the JY for some, but if I don't see any I like I will just buy after market.... just worried the after market won't be as heavy duty... granted I have an after market hood for it too.
I saw a website with fiberglass front clips. Could even get one with a scoop.
http://www.usbody.com/Pages_Trucks/72-Dodge.htm
Interesting, but expensive.
I am not looking to cut weight either, figure its not going on a diet anytime soon lol.
well I got to spend some time with the old truck today... still trying to think of a name for it.
I tend to name 4x4's guys and 2wd's girls... but not always. I need to name all my ramchargers :icon_scratch: have to think more on that later.
At any rate I had a good night. I got the core support on, though I am not sure I am happy with it yet... the bolts and rubber bushings are old and I would like new ones. The inner fenders are kind of on as well. I have the wire harness loosely placed and connected to the basics on the engine. Inside its connected at the firewall and steering column but not much else. I did throw the cluster in it to make sure that worked.
I also got the headers put on tonight, I have to say its much better not having 12 point bolts on there :13:
I forgot to do the started while the driver side header was off, but since the shifter is still messed up that gave me a small break so I was able to install it.
I connected all the ground wires I could recall and the main engine and transmission sensors. I don't have the O2 sensor or a few other smaller ones, but 95% is not bad. I also do not have the sending unit or fuel pump yet either.
When I connected a battery and turned the key I got lights on the gauges. I did the key code check and all looked good so far. :dance:
That means maybe this weekend I can work on the gas tank and lines. Gas and vacuum would be my last 2 biggest issues to start her up. I don't think I am going to put the whole dash in, or even the a/c box now that I look at it. I will have the wires mostly in place but leave it empty for paint. Once its running I will finish cleaning it up and trailer it over to the body shop... I don't see it road worthy for a bit longer yet.
I am not sure I will have time to get it all done this weekend, I have a lot going on, but it won't be long now until she can breath again. Lots of little things but its coming together.
Can't wait to see it this Saturday. Looking good. :thumbsup:
Not much else done, was a busy weekend. I did patch the gas tank on saturday. I have the charcoal canister mounted now so that is closer to being done.
I also tracked down the steering shaft and got it installed today (its a shaft from a 94 dakota or something I think, when I bought the new gear box off ebay the guy that sold me the box somehow rebuilt it with the 94+ connection end inside a 93 and older housing. Worked good when I found the end I needed at the JY).
I moved the 91 down to the 3rd car garage slot today, man that was a beating by myself, but I got it done. I left a trail of power steering fluid. I need to find that return hose here soon. I also need to replace the dip stick gasket as its now leaking too.
I want to go by the stealership this week and see if I can order a few parts for it mainly the gas fill hose and gasket for the gas tank. With those I will be able to put the tank back in place and maybe try and start it up this week. :dance:
I got some parts for the tank to get re-installed, but it seems I missed a few hoses and 1 more rubber gasket.
Going to try and get the parts today and see if I can get the tank back in tonight.
I also swapped out the fuel pump unit with a newer one I had.
I also got some new hose for the fuel filter, and replaced the fuel filter while I was at it. I still need to get the engine fuel lines connected back up, but its coming along.
I would love to get it running by tomorrow night but that might be too ambitious, either way it won't be long now :dance:
so I am a little behind, but not much.
Last night I did indeed get the gas tank installed. I now see why people always say empty them before installing... but I was trying to be lazy as I did not want to pump all that gas out by hand. Not sure what would have been more work in the end :dontknow: but its up and installed.
I needed a few more parts before I could try turning it over, and the battery was not in good shape after sitting for months. I put it on a deep cycle charge and left it for a few days.
today after work I got new plug wires (they might be "cheap" 7mm but Oreilly offers lifetime warranty and its nice to carry them in with the cap and rotor and say replace these please), cap and rotor. I also got some collector bolts for the headers as the old ones were not great and who knows where. They only had 3 vs the 6 I needed, I called it good as I did not want to drive to another store.
I got everything buttoned up. I had to install the heater core out of the HVAC box as its not done yet, and I could not find a connector pipe to fit it. New plug wires and all installed, left the spark plugs as they got like maybe 600 miles on them.
The battery was still not in top shape, but with the Durango and some jumper cables it was ok. I had to find a few grounds that were loose but not too hard. I also found that my temp spot for the computer was not great, so fixed that... not sure what was going on but it seemed the computer was not getting a good ground or something, it was not always "coming up" meaning the check engine light would not always work. It was better after I adjusted it. I also had to disconnect the headlight switch as its not fully together and the head lights were on.
Once this was all fixed I could hear the fuel pump run when the key was turned and did it a few times to prime it up. turn the key and the started engaged but did not turn the engine :icon_scratch:
I removed the starter and found I had covered the hole with paper towels when I had removed it :icon_scratch: I don't recall that but apparently I did. This caused the starter to not sit right and not hit the gears. Once that was fixed and it was re-installed it was better. It turned over a few times as I was also still dealing with the computer issue. Once that was fixed I once again heard the fuel pump and then turned the key again.
It ran.... for about 2 seconds and I quickly turned it off. Sitting there I realized that I had ran a lot of exhaust systems, even had the muffler blow off the 92 before (same engine) and just had pipes.... but never before had I ran just headers, well the passenger side had muffler and cat it was just the driver side. Wow was that loud :nono: I turned it off quickly because it was just past 8pm and I did not care to have my neighbors cursing my name
but it ran :headbang: :laughing7:
I will get the other collector bolts tomorrow then I will be able to start it for longer. It still has a ways to go before it can roll under its own power. I have to finish the tcase support and skid plate, fix the tranny dip stick leak (and replace the lost fluid) and connect the gear shifter as well as the drive shafts.
I figure sometime saturday I will be able to drive it around just a little. I also need to replace the master cylinder because the 92 was different and had an electrical connector on it the 91 did not.
I am really excited to have some good progress on it, and that means it can go back to the body shop about the time the 2000 is finished up. I will have to trailer it over, as it has no dash or driver seat. Oh I need to fix the accelerator cable too lol forgot about that. yeah long list but its getting shorter.
Don't get too ambitious. It will be a while before I can meet you anywhere since we are trying to get moved into new digs at work. We had a dozen doors delivered yesterday. They are 9 feet, 11 inches tall, solid oak doors and they mortised the hinges about 2 inches wrong.
That's what we are dealing with in trying to get into the new buildings.
I wish I could say I am doing as well as you are on the RC in finishing the Willyreplica but I am getting a little progress from time to time.
Well I did not get much done this weekend.
Thursday I got the other muffler on it and fired it up, it ran real good until I looked at the back and saw it pouring gas out of the tank :crybaby2:
Apparently my return fuel line was not connected as good as I thought. I did not feel like dropping the tank this weekend, so maybe this week.
Finally got around to lowering the tank and working on the leaking fuel line. Was not near as hard as I thought.
Got it running (minus a dead battery). Even got the MP computer put in and it ran good (sounded good too).
I got a few short video's to share the sound, but I will have to convert them (and the HF) videos to upload them.
At least the day ended up not being a total loss.
Now I just have to finish tightening bolts on the tranny mount and put some driveshafts in... that and the rear axle u bolts :laughing7:
then I can take it for a spin around the block.
Oh that also reminds me, I found some UOS (Used old stock :laughing7:) Front fenders for it at a decent price. No dents and should not take much work to get them in good shape.
Not much more and its ready for the body shop when its warmer.

Did not give up, just never started looking into it again :dontknow:
I do have ALL of the video's from RJ, but Will asked me not to post much on RCC, but I guess I could dig through some and post here. Its like 30 gig of data :tard: I had to move them to my spare drive because it took up so much space lol
30 Gig .... WOW! :notworthy:
maybe you should just upload them to youtube. it would make sharing them easier if you chose to.
but them that would break my anti social setup of no Facebook/twitter
and my general anti google lol
besides I have a room full of servers and more than enough bw to server them myself
lol. alrighty then. sounds like a plan.
Yeah I know... My nerdness is showing :tongue3:
Can't help it :laughing7:
lol. if you were to ask some of the people i know they would probably say i am also a bit nerdy. i had a co-op placement at a computer store when i was going to school and learn quite a bit. i can usually figure out what is wrong with a computer if it is not totally messed up. i know my mom needs a new computer and i have been thinking about giving her one of mine so that i no longer have to keep fixing hers.
I think since Will was unable to make the video work, he probably will not care if we put any of them out. I'll convert a few to a smaller format if you want me to. Just send me something to work on because I don't have hardly any of them.
http://ramcharger.net/engine/iFrame.html (http://ramcharger.net/engine/iFrame.html)
I have to figure out a few more things, but that's a start I think?
Anyone else able to see it?
i can't seem to get it to play. i see a picture, i click on it and that is about it.
Looks like it runs on Quicktime. I heard it loud and clear. Sounds Bad Ass !!! :thumbsup:
well in that case...
http://ramcharger.net/index.php/topic,114.0.html
and yes I like the way it sounds :evil6:
Wife heard the video, she complained it sounds better in person :13:
Its still way loud so those glass packs have to find there way off there at some point. It gave me headache's a few times when I drove it in the 92.

Well don't throw them away. Your neighbor with the econo-RC could use them. :wave:
I like leftovers..... yum yum. :tongue3:
When I get to that point I will be more than happy to save them for you.
I did mess up and order 2.5" when the system was 2.25", but I made it worked so I am sure you could too.
Right now the RC has no exhaust but 2.5" is what I expect to use. Thanks :13:
well Richard inspired me to do some work.
I got the 91 pushed out of the garage, tried to get the rear driveshaft connected.
Mental note to myself and others:
U Joints on a 91 and 92 ARE NOT THE SAME :dontknow:
I hacked it together enough to handle a small roll.
The shifter is not connected yet either, but I moved forward from that.
I then go to swap the tires between the 91 and 93, for several reasons.
1) the 93 will be drove more right now, and those 33's SUX BAD :laughing7:
2) when the 91 goes to paint I want wheels and tires that I don't care about when they go to a painting.
So I got that all done and torqued down. Then I had to get the 91 back in the garage, tried to push it once .... :tard: :violent1:
thats not happening now that it has an engine and tranny.
:icon_scratch:
"Amy, come here I need your help"
ok hold your hand on the brake and don't let go
this is the point I climb under the truck and manually shift into drive (I had the parking brake on too)
I climb out from under it, hop in and release the parking brake, start rolling in. then stops at the lip.
:icon_scratch:
I don't have the gas petal connected yet, ok well I am sitting on the floor what the heck, I reach down and pull the cable hanging through the firewall and roll it on in. :evil6:
So it moved under its own power, but I am not sure its something to brag about at this point. :tongue3:
forgot to say, I took pics.
top is the 91 RC with 33" tires and its lift and no blocks
bottom is the 93 RC with 31" tires and no lift

Ryan, you got my blessing to post em up on here... I just don't like the idea of RCC maybe tryin to claim the rights to said video.... I see no problem to maybe having a "trail run" folder or such around here so members can see em.
:happy1: :13:
Body shop said 2 weeks and bring it over and they will start painting. I have a few things to do before then.
Replace a u joint ( apparently between 91 and 92 they changed the ujoints on both ends of the rear drive shaft :dontknow: )
Replace door hing pins and bushings.
Work on bumpers and clean them up. I want to try and do something I saw on Overhauin' where they welded the bolts on the back side of the bumper then ground them flat and welded the front up so it was a smooth surface and no round bolt hole. I thought it looked cool :13:
