1999 Ram 1500 360 4x4 Auto TL/DR Truck is constantly going back to 1st gear when applying throttle. This is gonna be long, but here is the background: Bought the truck a few years ago. Transmission had been out of the truck at some point, previous owner knew nothing about it as he'd only had...

I'm finally getting my garage set up after being here almost a year. The garage is an attached 24x24. There's one oversized door on the right, so it's not a true 2-car garage. I'm going to put an electrical panel in just for the garage so it can have dedicated electric. There's a small room in...

I'm needing a six pack throttle return spring. Just learned it should be Orange in color. New or used is fine. Looking on here before buying elsewhere. Thanks.

How do you determine what size throttle return spring? 440 six barrel. I'm trying to figure out what throttle return spring(s) I need to use. I had a purple spring and a small silver one from a universal kit. Had went for a drive, peddle felt firm and seemed to be right. When I hit 2nd gear...

Cari had been wanting a new challenger for years. Things just didn't work out for us to get one until recently. Back in November, she finally got one. It had 68 miles on it. HER FIRST NEW CAR. No, it's not a cool one with a hemi, but she didn't need that much power. It is what SHE wanted tho...

I have got to get this car going this year. Things are smoothing out financially and I have sold some things to address the carb issues I've had. So here is the question... do I send the carbs to ProMax to get repaired and gone through or buy new ones? I'm leaning towards sending them in...

Overall, a good dog. Just doesn't fit in well with us. When we got her last year, she was SEVERELY dehydrated and malnourished. She wasn't house broken or crate trained. She was left in an abandoned house for no telling how long. Then she was with a family with a small child. She was great with...

Right now I have a reverse pattern manual valve body. It's an older one with the free wheeling 1st gear. Apparently, that's a bad thing. The transmission was built about 15 years ago by a shop. I don't know exactly what all was done to it. The paperwork I have isn't all there. The order paper...

I need the top cover plate and the spring clip thing that holds it all together. I'd even buy the whole coupler assembly if that's what you have.

Apparently, I'm missing the metal bracket thing on my steering coupler. The rubber boot keeps sliding up the shaft. Is this going to be an issue? Can I just wrap some electrical tape to keep it from sliding up? Here's some pictures of what I'm talking about

When it's nice out, I just open the doors. When it's cold, I would do little things at a time and let it air out with a fan aimed out the dog door. That got frustrating. Last year I started looking into ventilation. I installed one of those in-line duct work fans with a tube going out to a dryer...

Is it hurtful to a car (engine, transmission, other moving components) to let it sit for periods of time? For example, things have not gone as planned the past two years and the roadrunner has had to sit month's at a time. Money, other vehicle issues, and life has gotten in the way. This has...

I hate these things. It seems that no matter how much I try to read, I just cannot understand enough. If I had the money I'd go fuel injection. Maybe I'm too stupid to figure it out. Or maybe I'm over thinking it. Either way, it doesn't click. I don't understand. I know the concept, but can't...

Quick background 440 .030 over. Around 11:1 CR MP 509 cam 6BBL 727 with reverse manual Used to have horrible overheating problems. That seems to be taken care of. Had timing issues. Again, seems to be rectified now. Timing is around 16 initial and all in around 2200 RPMs at 34. I don't remember...

Hey, everybody. I'm trying to help my neighbor out. A long story made short.... Her husband passed away last January. He was a car guy. Had several cool old cars. She is trying to sell some of them off to where she can manage what she has. If someone is truly interested in the car, the final...

Would it be better to mount the transmission cooler directly to the front of the radiator or put it several inches in front of the radiator? I've seen differing opinions, but which is really the best way? The radiator does not have an internal transmission cooler. I want to get the best...

I'm somewhat confused about timing advance. I understand that as your RPM's increase, you want the timing to advance to keep up with the RPM's. What I don't understand is what determines how and when your timing should be ALL IN. Is it a preference?Wouldn't you want your timing to continue to...

So I was checking Craigslist today and found a 440 block, heads, rods, and intake for $100. Went to pick em up. Met the guy and talked his ear off this evening. Great guy to talk to. Plus he had a gorgeous 72 demon sitting in his garage. Then he offered me some other parts for an additional...

This is a long post. A little background to start with.... Last year in March started having pains in my back. Felt like pulled muscle. Kept getting worse. Finally got to where the pain was in my groin. Felt like my testicles were in a vice. Turned it in at work. Doctor tried me on different...
