I have a couple of questions about the RAMPAGE.
First-does everything work correctly ?
Does it need anything at this time ?
Does it have a/c or not?
Does the a/c blow cold if installed ?
Any overheating issues ?
In your honest opinion how quick would it run the 1/4 mile, GUESS ?

Thanks
Chuck

Everything is working fine. I plan to replace upper strut bearings as there is a little noise in the front end when turning and going over bumps. The fuel pump whines a bit, but it is pretty new and I am going to put a new filter on it to see if that helps. There is no AC at this point. I have a bracket for the compressor, but it will be a bear to get AC hoses routed and then access to the fuel rail, distribute, etc. will be really tough(not easy now).

I have timed 0-60 at 6.3, so it is not as quick as I had hoped. Still think there is more power in it. I am swapping in a 88 stage 2 ECU (I tried it once and it ran really rich at idle, so I am going to crank down the FP, this time) to see if that helps with performance and a bit of a uneven idle.

Other than that it is really sweet and I have tons more money in it than I am asking.

Charlie, could you please, please, please sell your truck to someone who lives near me in SoCal so I can visit with it regularly?:D Yours is the only Rampage in the country that I like better than my own and I have like a thousand hours in mine:o Then again, I may be a bit biased twards the Masi motors:lol:

Chuck, much of the fabrication was performed by Dave Grove on this truck. Anyone who knew his work would agree that he was in the very top few percent of the fabricators in our TD hobby. I'll never forget some of the pearls he shared with me during our conversations. He was a great guy and is still missed...

Thanks for the interest and nice comments.

yeah, nice cars!!!

what other mods do you have to the rampage? big exhaust, brakes, chassis? obviously you have pumpers on there...look like the datyona 16 inch ones!!

as for the spirit, that is a VERY slick install for the boost gauge....pod grafted into the steering column cover. it is sooo cool it looks stock!!! you'll have to get a deal going with fwd-p or something to mass produce them. there are a number of TD owners that would likely appreciate a piece like that!!!

The pod is an autometer part for a Dodge full size pick up. Fits perfectly. I used interior paint on it - it goes over the existing, so you do not have to cut anything. You can only use the single pod version, because of the hazard warning button.
