I was there with my sweptline.

I had Detroit Muscle Technologies making them at one time. I got the first ones for mine. Uses push pins.

Check out that big HEI distributor.

Great score. Post some pics of it. Make sure you get the killer dowel pin fixed.

I hate to say this, but the engine needs to come out and rebuilt. When the timing chain falls into the pan and gets sucked up into the oil pump, something is getting starved for oil. You're already half way there. Same thing happened on my dad's 318 back in the early 80s with only 50,000 miles. Thats why I wasn't a big fan on 318s. They are harder on timing chains. I know yours is

Going back in time here but Dad had a 73 Dodge truck that was called a camper 9000. The 9000 stood for 9000 lbs gvw. It was a 360. I know we hauled a very heavy 10 slide in camper and he also used it to tow a trailer loaded with industrial garbage containers, which were very heavy. I know there are differences between what I have and what he had. My 360 makes more power, bigger radiator, frame

I'm surprised about the steering box brace, as soon as I put it on mine, day and night difference. It handled great. The thing thats nice about the other track bar is no ball joint to wear out on the end. I'm not sure why Chrysler did that. I think thats the only track bar known to man to have a ball joint on the end. Also it makes centering up the front axle nice too. I'm still a

Fix the track bar problem with this. Originally the idea started with me that I gave to a guy in Canada and I guess he didn't patent it and BD diesel copied it. Anyrate, that will fix the problem permanently. Also put a steering box brace on. You will notice the difference. Lower ball joints where non greasable, lasted about 50,000 miles. The over priced unitized non greasabl

My take was on the situation was I spent that kind of money on that truck, they could have given me a reliable front end and fuel system. Cummins knew about the problem and has yet to resolve it. No one should have to re-engineer their truck.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

The 24v diesel was a nightmare. The old tried and true 360 has been good to me. Now if it would have been a 12 valve, I would have kept it. 8800 lbs max trailer, right on the hitch.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I never tow with the overdrive on. I've pulled open car trailers with it, never had an issue. I've never pulled an enclosed before.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

If I still had my Cummins I wouldn't be worried. It was a 2500 also but a 4x4. You could not overload that thing. However the maintanance costs, cost of diesel fuel being higher & unreliability I sent that thing down the road.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I remember being 16 years old when that thing appeared on the cover of Truckin Magazine. I still have the magazine here somewhere.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Been thinking about one and was curious of what brand people recommend, lengths and do I have enough truck to do it? I have a 98 Ram 2500 with a 360 v8 auto.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Make sure you tab the killer dowel pin in the gear drive. They've been known to fall out and destroy an engine.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Do the body work, paint it....do not get into a frame off restoration. A couple of weeks in the body shop and it will look good enough for street use.

Thanks. I feel honored to have "Jennifer" displayed as truck of the week.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

1/2 ton. It did have overload springs on it. I didn't put them back on. Not sure if they were factory or not.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Thanks. Still a few things to button up on it. But it can be driven now is the most important part.

Kyle Youngblood knew of a guy in Wisconsin that could rebuild your existing harness. Had mine done for my 70 a few years ago.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Thanks. No I had quit carrying them when they started popping up on ebay cheaper than I was paying for them. I think Scott carries them over on the other forum. I think he is getting them from the same place I was. I still have some radiator seals and tool stowage decals though.

Firewall for right now. I've done a lot of research on these things. Not the most robust system today.

Great diagram. I wonder where on the block it goes and does it ground to body?
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I was wonder if there was such a thing on a 70 D100?
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I hooked it up to the red wire on the red/orange combo, so I assume. I'm good.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

So you tapped the red wire, not the orange wire at the resistor correct?
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Thats the wire going back to the ecu, which wire do I connect that one to?
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

1970 Dodge D100. Which wire do I tap at the resistor for the wire running back to the ecu. All the instructions I have read says blue, there is no blue. All I see is 2 reds, a pink and a orange.
