These are the stories that give HOPE! To the needy..such as myself. One day I’ll mess with it some more, just lost patience and ended up buying that other one anyway 🙄

Yes, if too much gas goes into a cylinder, it can bend a rod!

Well, that was one hot engine there. Like the old Kenny Rogers song goes "You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. Know when to walk away and when to run." I'm sure a little more digging, ok, a lot more digging would've gotten the other Ramcharger in line... but in the end, you still won. Great video my friend! Blessings and respect!

I still one year may try to get it going, I parked her in the back 40 to maybe wait for it’s way if it doesn’t become a parts truck first.

One common problem I ran into with the throttle body style 318 engines is that the cam sensor that replaced the electronic pickup would corrode causing rust to collect on the sensor and preventing it from reading.

Looks like the condition and the location I found my 87 in (you out in Bandera?) - the fuel sender really is the Achilles heel on these things, I had to get mine rebuilt by some old timer up in NY. The 5.9 magnum swap w/OD tranny does seem like the play with these though so that you can actually drive them around Texas with out a second mortgage.

As a matter of fact yes. Bandera, Pipe Creek more specifically yeah that thing is probably my issue. I need to ditch it and throw a carb on it. True. This other one is 100% better being a magnum motor.

@@tcfinds right on - you're right next to the best biltong on this side of the Atlantic - Brett's, if you're not already familiar I strongly suggest a visit. I'll keep an eye out for another RC next time I'm at the ranch. Enjoy the spring and keep up the great work!

*Whoa! Look at that sludge in the tank!!* 😧 Crazy to see! That's cheating Tyler, you can't replace the whole vehicle! 🤣 Only kidding, I don't blame you for trading it off. The new Ramcharger is pretty sweet and sounds good. It'll look pretty sweet painted up and lowered too. Enjoyed the video my friend. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

I can't believe you gave up on the Ramcharger just because you couldn't get it running. Im redoing a 1991 Ramcharger that was burnt from the dash forwarding to the grill. But i don't like the plastic 91 grill so I'm putting a 89 grill in it and a computer delete. And a 360 small block. Everything will work even after the computer delete and the a/c will be in it along with the overdrive.
