This is amazing. Is the process the same with a 1991 Dodge W150 with a 318?

Thanks for the videos. After watching this one and your "Top 5 things to look for when buying a first gen" video, I can tell I will be watching more of videos. Question about the rear axle seal... How do you know when it's time to replace the bearings? Also, do you not need to put any gear lube in the hub when you replace the seals and/or bearings? Thanks for any tips you can offer.

Hey, I need some help if you don't mind... I'm thinking of buying either an XR250R or XR400R for a daily and for bullshittery off road, they're the same price, same generation, plus the older xr250r's for just a touch cheaper. Btw, new rider here, not concerned about the bike having a bit too much power, I'm not too trigger happy, or in this case, twist happy. Just want something very nimble, fun and that doesn't lack power, I want it to feel peppy. It is going to see a bunch of pavement too, as a daily.

Enjoyed seeing this truck come together in person! Also appreciate the shout out!

where did you find the dash?

Tim really does outstanding work. His ability to learn is amazing and he is fast becoming an expert on these trucks! 👍👍👍

How do you adjust to get the 3.80 at the top end?

When my nv4500 thrashed its synchros, I pondered the same decision. I rebuilt it myself with all the upgrades, glad I did. None of the 6 speeds are as tough or as fast. My nv4500 takes all the abuse I can throw at it. With a short shift kit,gear changes are smooth and almost as fast as an automatic.

Also make sure the u joints are quality "Spicer" and that they are correctly angled and in phase with each other to prevent vibration and premature wear.

Beautiful truck awesome build but rims wouldn't have been my first choice, but definitely ur truck and very nice

Hey Tim, know this video is a year old now but I am trying to educate myself for a crew cab build in my near future. Did you end up using the chassis harness from that 89 cummins parts truck? I saw that you had to extend the harness for the cab lights, just curious how everything else worked out. Did you have to extend for the tail lights or any other items? The engine and cab harness seems easy enough, pretty much plug and play. Thank you sir!

Again, be very careful and due research on how changing the stock tire and rim size can affect a vehicle. A wider rim and tire will change the leverage on the steering gear box, frame and steering linkage. All can fail sooner due to the added stress. Taller tire diameter will change leverage and overall gearing causing reduced braking performance, reduced towing capacity and reduced fuel milage from incorrect engine RPM. Factory engineers design vehicles taking into consideration many factors. There are very good reason's they pick a certain size rim and tire. Same engineering also goes into the height of the vehicle. Adding lifts to the suspension should also be done with caution and an understanding of what unwanted consequences may arise. Aftermarket companies are in business to make $$$$. Often customers are not aware of potential problems that can and will occur. LOVE this channel and you do really good work on these trucks!

You have pretty much built an entire truck in the time it has taken me to get one turbo put back on old yellow. Lol😂

The ole boy is looking good

Where did you get those wheels and what is the offset? That's exactly the look I'm going for with my build - and those wheels look really nice!

Another great video such a clean build

You do very nice work! I love the truck! And those wheels and tires are a great match! Thank you for the videos. Stay Safe!!! 😎🇺🇸

Hola amigo cómo estás saludos acá de Austin Texas Freddy Delgado nice video look nice truk primero dios ya mero queda saludos y bendiciones amigo

This is sickest truck I’ve ever seen

Black would have been better for rims !

Do 2 tone like the exterior on the door cards

Good job Tim!!! 👍🏻

Dude that truck looks insane! Good job

Do you have to trim the the piping for the five 9 kit? My is still in the box waiting for my garage not to be 130 degrees

Awesome video, keep up the good work

Love the wheel and tire setup. That's exactly the look I'm going for with my own build. I always enjoy the content, Tim!

Build is turning out awesome, Tim! Did i miss where you got the coolant resevoir from?

well now i know my 90 is rare with a black dash bezel and ac. Love the build hate that it isnt mine but i hope to see it driving across the country soon

This truck is so cool.

Watch you and regret getting rid of my crew cab long box 2 wheel drive think it was a 85 Keep it up long live mopar

Also make SURE you put sealer on the inside of the rubber seal. If no sealer is used it will leak and water will get under the rubber and rust the body away.

This channel is the BEST! Be careful increasing tire size on these trucks. The larger size increases the leverage on the brakes making stopping more difficult. Also, this changes the overall gearing causing reduced power and fuel milage. The steering gear box and frame also can fail sooner. Best performance and reliability will be from the correct factory size on the door.

Love this channel!!!!!!!!!!

Could you send me Charlie‘s phone number please? I have a truck for sale. I’m here in Pennsylvania with near him. I have his address. I just don’t have the phone number so if you could send me that appreciate it or I can talk to Greg a While and ask him.

cant really see what wire your deleting at the end i just cut mine off with a die grinder cutting wheel

just did this again to my 1st gen added a tach pick up wire while i was in there super ez works fine

Great video as always. Anyone know what those two little fork/ C looking pieces are, they come with the shoes? I haven’t seen any video where anyone does anything with them.

That's so cool, Charlie's work and products look amazing. Thanks for sharing this, I'm stoked for the owner of this truck!

Looks fantastic! It should drive great with that turbo setup.

intake silencer she gat it rite

Nice video….hows it work with the rope in the windshield after paint as far as getting it out smoothly and not marring up the paint

Why does you idle screw not have a jam nut line does just curious? Thanks Jason

Legit question for you sir. With your experience in these trucks, and knowing how it drove and responded & performed. How did you not pre emptively know it already had a gov spring installed in it before you pulled it apart??

make a cardboard cut out and mark where bolts go on the cardboard, put bolts into the cutout

🔥🔥🔥

This brings back memories. In late 1993, I bought a new D250 Club cab w/Cummins and bucket seats in this exact same color combination. It was such a comfortable and good looking rig but it got cramped as my son grew too big to fit in back so I traded it in for a 2003 Quad Cab RAM 3500. I still miss the 93.

This video helped me with my 1st gen, 1993 d150, some dodo broke the map light. Could you do a video explaining how to install the glovebox light, if you have one. Or if you even have the truck still…

I don't see any info on what to buy for clips? Good vid.

13:14 Another option to avoid this whole mess is to retrofit an older model reverse rotation gearbox, not superior to crossover steering but much simpler and easier with no frame bracing required. This changes the pitman arm action from side to side to fore and aft. Much better than stock and eliminates bump steer on your first gen. I'm running this setup on my 78 crew cab with 36 inch military hummer tires and a Borgeson steering shaft.

What is your source for all that hardware, rubber bumpers, latches and spring?
