That is he reason I went from wood driver on fenders to rebar drive over fenders.  Almost anything solid is gonna be slick when wet.  Another thing is when you paint it, throw some sand in the paint for traction..

The spoiler really helped @ highway speeds to keep dirt & rain off the rear window.  I stripped that ramcharger & sold it for scrap to build a 4x4....

I ran a reverse pattern manual for a couple years.. i used a "Cheetah" brand valve body.  I also used a B&M cable shifter. I had the truck model since it sits higher off the floor.  That was years ago when I had a 2x with a 440 / 727.    Here is a pic, but it was back in 2003

I had 4 of those rubber expansion plugs in the silver dodge truck I wheeled @ General Sams years ago...  Had a hard freeze while I was working on it & I even drained the radiator, but the block just pushed out the freeze plugs as they were designed to do...  I wasn't about to pull the engine so those worked great for me...

Got the new pump & got it installed tonight.  Sure takes a while to get the air out of the system....  On a positive note, Oreilly's pump actually has a metal impeller compared to the bad pumps plastic one...

Plastic impeller, not even good enough to have a core charge....    What ticks me off it the vehicle has less that 64,000 miles on it...  I did find a new one for $144.00   Lifetime warranty...

Got home from work & dove in feet first... had the lil critter off in maybe 45 minutes after finding all the different metric / standard sizes...  The hardest part is actually tracking a new one down...

Has anyone had the pleasure of having to change a water pump on a Newer model Hemi??  This one got sick & died this morning 2 miles from the house @ 2 am after driving 2 hours to a playoff football game.   Looks easy enough but @ a little over $200 just for the pump, can't afford any unforseen problems..

I made these for my RC. Mostly just as a step but I feel like it should help keep damage to a minimum.

I wanna go do something so bad, but time & $$ keep me from doing anything..  The old ramcharger is gonna need a heater core before it gets cold.  That's a lotta labor for me... I hate the heater boxes....
