My truck loves the 4.10s. Set the cruise at 70 and go down the road. It seems to like the 2400 rpms just fine. Some don't like that, but it's never bothered me.

2400@70 isn't too bad. I think I'm at 2200-2250@70 with the 3.55's

Loaded I want the extra revs. The poor torque converter hates me taking off from a stop. Unloaded I am real happy w 3.55s

It's a double edged sword. Im also wanting to see how moch we actually use the new camper.

Well I went and got the bed from Jp. The dodge actually made it there and back.

She needs a LOT of help. I hope I'm up to the task.

Dodge isn't worth worrying about its future.

Hopefully the bed is worth fixing.

Aww heck the beds not in as bad of shape as it sounds lol. A couple very small rust spots and some fiberglass filler. The worst spot is that crease below the taillight.

Its better off than most beds of that era. If you don't want it ill take it back lol

Ahh it'll just be time involved. I hope the rust above the fenders is not worse once the fenders are off.

Well after a week of charging batteries ol Clifford made diesel smoke today. I needed to move him outside to try to keep my body work stuff off of him.

Temp was mid 50s and it ran actually well. I started pulling inj plugs and that darn dead injector was working. I know the hotter it gets in the past the worse it ran. I may have hope now for getting them repaired for a reasonable amount.
If I could sell that last set of bellowed up pipes I think I would pull the dang things on out.

You have tried swapping solenoids already haven't you? A heat sink failure like that is usually electrical.

Yea I swapped coils first. I wish I knew more about these injectors. I may need to start learning.
I may swap places with the stranger and pull them this week.
