1978 Ramcharger Aka The "Death Charger"

back on topic.... Eric your RC still runs.....

I dont think anyone makes a 30 spline dana 60 "lunchbox" style locker they are all 35 spline I think...good for a front d60 axle. They are also very nearly the same cost as a grizzly/detroit style locker. I am not sure if the spider gears will come out of your current carrier anyway as they have to be "rotated" out of the carrier....yours ain't gonna do that anymore  ........ I recommend a detroit and some 35 spline shafts when the time comes....maybe some disc brakes too..... oh and dont forget a front d60 that will also need some love..... then you will need bigger tires....and more lift.....and another tcase....and a supercharger.....and a new motor(408).....hmmmm too much coffee 

Noah your a Bad influence on people... or are you the voice of reason.....

Good to hear that your still running it to burn out any evil still lurking inside.

Hopefully I can knock out a few things on it before we leave next friday. Fender trimming, Tuning, Possible interior work.We Will see.

new tcase? what's wrong with my tcase?

and I think the 35's I now have are big enough lol

sadly those are the only 2 things I can argue with on that big list... well maybe the supercharger lol

Eric I think it's called up selling... he is practicing on us

new tcase? what's wrong with my tcase?

Its aluminum , and not a doubler 

and I think the 35's I now have are big enough lol

35's are big enough until you need 37 "

Yeah he is a crafty little Devil......

tcase will get replaced when I break it 

tires are stuck at 35" until I have more lift and they are bald 

The rear locker and 35 spline shafts... thats about 2k (guessing) that gets to wait as well.. the next priority will prob be a d60 front and crossover steering... at some point.

Remember that's what you said about the front axle and U joints 

[rjtx667]

I don't recall saying that.. I was told by many to just run what I got until it broke... and I did.  :headband:

I need a few years out of these upgrades so I can save up $$ for the next round of upgrades. I don't figure the chances are good for that but I can hope.

You''ll be fine is you just ease off the Skinny pedal 

4.10 and rear locker will make a huge difference

I am not sure if I can, but I will try. I tend to be more binary with the skinny petal... its on or its off not much in-between

Maybe we should put a 2x4 under the pedal so you don;t push it down too far

lol it could work... thinking on your doubler thing... I can't even do that.... you saw how little my rear driveshaft is.

You can if you ditch the 518 and swap in a TF727

got your RC running better....found a huge vacuum leak at the brake booster (rotten vacuum caps).....got that fixed....set ignition timing.....but now i is out of gas .... What should I do

[rjtx667]

You need to say to HAD it running better... it does not run so good without gas
