Been trying to install subwoofers in the ol' gal all day - guess I better check my e-mail!

Funny thing about that.  I already have my obituary planned already - even down to the cause of death... "caused in part due to complications following his third penis reduction surgery..."

you also have a A518 which is different than a 727. 3.55 gears should be more than fine on 2wd vehicle with a 727 trans. i got 3.23 gears in my 81 and the engine was only spinning at about 3400rpm at 90mph which makes it pretty good for highway driving without overdrive. 3.55 gears would also be ok for highway driving.

Betcha could bark 'em shifting manually through all three gears with 4.88's though!

Having JUST installed the stereo in my RC, I can tell you that I UTILIZED that grounding strap again! 


Don't recall seeing ANY white wires in MY dash... but then, it still had the factory stereo.  That sounds 'aftermarket' to me.

Quote from: SixGun on August 08, 2014, 07:24:53 PMAfter taking another look at the rear axle, apparently it is a 2.94? gear ratio. Even worse than I thought. Ryan that 9-1/4 is sounding better. 3.55 would be a big improvement.

I tell you what - running 35's, I can't believe I ever CONSIDERED 4.10's - I went 4.56, and am REALLY starting to wish I'd gone 4.88 instead!  T'ain't no such thing as too MUCH gear... unless of course, they DON'T fit inside the carrier... 

QuoteSpent some time repairing the stereo wiring. It was really butchered. For now, I just used some spare stereo equipment laying around so I could put the dash face back in.

I'm glad you posted that last pic - with the fuse box flopping off the brake pedal!  And here I thought mine was somehow "broken," because it did the same! 

BUMP... because I've added MORE crap!

BUMP... for Pics!





Factory Ramcharger REAR driveshaft - with yokes, straps, and U-joints, but you'll WANNA replace those. Professionally refurbished last year - has less than 200 street miles on it since. Approximately 3' long, if you're looking for a project shaft; "approximately," because a 35 3/16" shaft replaced it.

Mud flaps NOT included...






$75 FTF - shipped UPS on your dime.

A coworker sent me this pic. He said that one of my buddies must have gone too hardcore.  Hmm....

He's gonna regret not installing that snorkel he waffled about... 

... RIGHT here!

Every time I hear "little trip," this is what I always think of.

it is only a 2wd ramcharger. i don't really see a 2wd ramcharger needing one that bad.

Maybe it aspires to more... 

Quote from: crazzywolfie on August 03, 2014, 02:45:40 PMalso do you really need a power steering cooler? my 93 is the first vehicle i have ever seen with one.

Big MEATS and a lift?  YES.

Quote from: crazzywolfie on August 03, 2014, 01:29:39 AMhey 3.23 gears are great for highway driving especially if you don't have a overdrive transmission.

My '79 Bronco had 3.00 gears!    Most Ford trucks of that era did.     And as I was young, single, and gas was $.75 a gal. (yeah, the previous owner had taken ye olde center punch to the gas fill tube, so it would run regular... and disconnected all the evap crap and removed the catalytic converter  ), I was driving 110 miles round trip a DAY to work - with 106 of it on I-85!


With a B-W T-18 in the gentle hills of the piedmont of NC, I could still start in 2nd from most standing stops.  And with it tuned up, I got 18mpg+ on the interstate!   


Would LOVE to have a T-18 and NP205 combo in my RC... but I'd also want to live in a flatter place than Pittsburgh with that setup, too!

My best friend in hi skrool had a '79 Lil' Red Express.  He HAD this very radio in HIS truck.


Worked GREAT then... in 1983!
