Glad to see the Ramerati out there. Still sorting it out, I see! It is a finicky girl. I wish Dave was still around to help us all.
Hey to Rick, if you see this.
Hope all is well with...

Make me an offer. I have a new car and I need to clean house.
I knew the lights would get some interest - they stay on until it is sold without them. They are too cool.

Thanks for the responses. Until I can fix the radiator I have added some stop leak and I did block off a lot of the radiator. This helps a lot. I had done that last year and noticed it helped. ...
I see that my radiator has a slight leak in the lower drivers corner. Will this keep me from reaching a higher temp?
Charlie
It does seem like it should work OK. The radiator is a big custom unit. I had a 180° in it and I swapped it for a 195°. It ran even cooler! So I put a Mopar 185° , but I drilled it with a 1/16"...
My Masi powered Rampage always runs cool and with the cold weather is running very cold. I checked for leaks and have replaced the thermostat and tried to get any air out of the system. Upon...
I don't know. My tire/alignment shop got everything to work, but they said they had to mix and match the bearings to the spindle I found. It was a puzzle, but it works. Feels real good now.
...
All fixed - thanks for the help. Wrong balljoint apparently gnarled up the spindle. I used an 84 L body spindle from the yard and it fit.
Charlie
Rich,
I will let you know if I need the hubs.
Thanks,
Charlie
The 84 will have 4 lug hubs so it won't be the right thing for you...
I have a couple of 5 lug GLHS hub/knuckles if you need...
Alan,
Thanks, I will look into the press in hub thing.
Yea, the skirts are real - tough to find. I go them from California. It is getting there. The interior door panels are one of my favorite...
This is the Duster L body - looks just like a Charger. 84, I think. I rarely see them, but there were 2 at the yard. Guess they are all there.
That would be great as I found a nice Duster at the junkyard. I had lost the bracket that is under the bushing on the steering rack and it loosened and moved around - I think this damaged the...
I have 5 lugs and minivan brakes on my Rampage. Would I still have stock Rampage spindles? I have a spindle that is damaged where the balljoint connects.
TIA,
Charlie

Alan, et al,
I am finally enjoying the Ramerati - it is starting to show its potential. I found a cracked rotor button in the top of the cap - total ----- to get to, I might add. It actually ran...
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...
I am going to pull it off the market. I believe I will hang on to it.
Thanks for the interest and nice comments.
Charlie
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...
