My first classic car, and the journey to get it back on the road. A 1986 Dodge Ramcharger Royal SE AW150 5.9L Automatic. An SUV version of the Dodge Power Ram. A brief history, and background of my rescue, and the restoration process.

Will eventually upload part 2 when completely finished. Diagnosis was bad ignition switch plus bad starter relay, finger tight head bolt between cylinders 5 & 7, and bad timing causing overheating. @ramcharger1986

    I love the sound of a diesel, but is it loud inside the car?

    Totally love your CD. Many years ago I had the opportunity to buy a lighter shade of blue 300D Turbo Diesel. I passed on the deal and have always regretted it. As years passed I found a 1984 E320 sedan in Spruce Green with a tobacco brownish leather interior. I quickly bought it and it proved to be one of the best cars I have ever bought. I have owned various Mercedes ever since.

    @AXNJXN1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nice work. I had an '85 and I spent nearly every other weekend under the hood working, repairing something. While it was a beast on the trail, the electrical issues killed it. Have no idea what happened electrically but this is usually the biggest issues on these due to the sheer length of time on the wires and heat in the engine bay. If I ever got another one, I'd start with a brand new wire harness!

    Bought a 1987 should of went to the scrap yard alot of Pennsylvania rust had a solid frame after a lot of building sheet metal, completely installing new floors, Rebuilding all the inner fender wells, front and back, installing new body mounts a labor of love, just couldn't send her to the crusher, the interior is like brand new, long hours at the garage, she is turning out looking like a new ramcharger again, it will be worth it in the end

  • @mumblez22

    I had a blue 87 just like this one. Tires were a little bigger but had a 318 crate with 2500mi on it. Had blue interior, billet alum grill. It was my favorite vehicle I've owned. Was the closest thing to a Dodge Charger I could find haha

    Nice! Love the color and looks to be in great condition. I have sedans, a 240D and a 300D. One day maybe I'll find a nice coupe. Are you in the Jax area by chance?

  • @raymondjoseph7177
    @raymondjoseph7177 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a 79 trail duster. Roof was very heavy. But best thing was the fully flat rear cockpit. I removed the seat and tossed in some blankets. Roof off, blankets/pillows drive in movie theater and i might have some kids running around i don't know about. Just kidding. But man if i could have one now.

    May be a little biased but this is true. I have a ramcharger (83 318) and 2 buddies of mine 1 has a blazer 1 has a bronco and the RC has been able to do the most of all 3 so far without getting stuck or just plain not being able to go up something in 4 low. I love the Rams

    I had an 87 with 318 4x4 from 2003-2006. Interior was absolutely immaculate from previous owner putting seat and carpet covers. Minnesota salt had killed the body. I still washed and waxed it on the regular. Very fun and reliable truck. Still miss it!

    My family had owned several old BMWs over the years.wonder how hard (Or easy) an ls swap would be? Had a 350 swapped jaguar that just wouldn't quit. Seems every Mercedes I've considered buying over the years has had some tweeker ruin the wiring or it was just beat by some kid owning it.

  • @williemasterofdestruction5339

    Had a 68 BMW Bavaria. Wish I had kept it.the interior in those cars is mostly aspen.eww....awesome for my backroad rally fun but the wifey no likey...

    I have an 86 too. It's in running condition but the SMELL!! I need to figure out what's burning, repair the gas gauge, windshield wiper motor , get a paint job, tint and new AC. But I'm broke!! so little by little. Great job!

    Nice and shame they didn’t bring the turbo version to the UK. Weird that it was only sold in US ehere diesel thanks to (then) cheap fuel never took off.

    • @alexmercer8042
      @alexmercer8042 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not quite true. In USA MB was strictly a luxury brand, not a taxi car. They sold massive amounts of diesels enough to justify the W115 300D, W123 300TD, W116 300SD and the W126 300SD which were North America only

  • @josephgiannini6174
    @josephgiannini6174 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    so cast iron heads j heads usually dont warp. aluminum heads warp easier. iron heads will however crack. timing and distribution is key but also in these truck a aluminum radiator and additonal fans not a bad idea. however the issue you will have is when you do the knuckles the axles and the transmission.

    • @MoparTrailsDieselTales
      @MoparTrailsDieselTales 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a low production number car when it was new, it’s 40 years later. But okay 🤷🏻

    • @lbowsk
      @lbowsk 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Then you are either confusing it with the 4-door sedan or you have been doing far too many bong hits. Only about 15K of these were imported to NA from 1977-1985.

    I have 3 W124 CE-s. I like the lines (interior and exterior) of W124 CE more than the CE123. But in general I understand why you have it.

    • @martinsvensson6884
      @martinsvensson6884 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like that the w123 is wider by 5cm/2". Feels roomier inside.
