Can I Drive This Terrifyingly Sketchy 1992 Dodge D350 "Ramp Truck" Home? (Towing My New Project Car)

    Tom with ‪@rocketresto‬ has a habit of dragging home junk that I really want. The latest example of that is this 1992 Dodge D350. With an intercooled Cummins 5.9 under the hood, this truck should be reliable and a willing performer for hundreds of thousands of miles to come - in theory, anyway... Unfortunately, this thing sat in a field for a lot of years, while the brakes rusted over and the tires literally rotted to pieces. But I'd really like to drive this thing home, with my upcoming turbo slant six project 1963 Plymouth Valiant on the bed. So today, let's do everything totally wrong and out of order, by putting a car on the bed, and then changing all six tires, before finally taking it for a test drive and learning... things...

    Sketchy is at least half the fun. Will it make it????? Oh the thrill of the unknown. Was that a State Trooper? Did he notice? Likely bigger fish to fry. Which steer tire will blow first? Will it be the guard rail 150' drop off side or the head on with an 18 wheeler side? Such excitement. Such thrills!!!

    Thanks for sharing this little 'adventure' Jamie. The only thing that surprised me, is the low payload limit for a truck that size 😮 Locking brakes, whether rusty calipers or constricted hoses is practically a given, sitting that long.

    • @DeadDodgeGarage
      @DeadDodgeGarage  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I actually don’t know the total payload the truck can handle. I know the total gross weight is over 10,000 pounds, but I don’t know how high it is. Either way, it is a D350, which is a “one ton” classification. That doesn’t mean it can only carry one ton. It is supposed to have overload springs to help carry all that weight. For some reason they removed the hangars for those, which is contributing to the sag in the rear.

    It'll run on just about any oil source you can find, INCLUDING the oil in transformers, you know that stuff in those barrels up on power poles......that are everywhere.
    Every other vehicle on the road, or OFF, is a source of fuel, more diesel, gear oil, ATF, motor oil. AND everything that flies as well.

    More first gen cummins content, please. Love those trucks. I need that grille for mine. And that is a 1993 model, BTW. At least the speedometer it has in it came from a 1993 truck. The older ones had a separate window for the tenths position on the trip odometer. And there is no lockup converter in the first gen diesel trucks. The gassers had em, but the diesels did not get lockup converters until 1994 with the 47rh transmission. And more than likely the problem with your overdrive is the throttle position sensor. They always fail. Replace it with a potentiometer from Geno's Garage. Could also be caused by a faulty transmission temperature sensor (currently unavailable, you'll have to jumper it. This shifts the trans out of overdrive when the trans fluid temp reaches 275º), a faulty coolant temperature sensor (also unavailable, jumper it. This keeps the trans from going into overdrive when the coolant temp is below 60º), a bad ground in the overdrive on/off switch on the dash (I see your dash button is all smashed up, so that could be the problem. It's the red button to the left of the cargo light button), the PCM could be bad (but you'd have charging problems too most likely), overdrive solenoid, or the brake light switch. Or any of the grounds for any of those sensors. Pretty sure those are the only things that would keep it from going into o/d, aside from internal transmission problems. Oh yeah, could also be the vehicle speed sensor. Even if the speedo is working accurately, it can still cause problems with the o/d. They are another common failure point. My speedo was dead on accurate with my GPS, but still kept popping out of o/d. Replaced it with a new NAPA one, and now it's off by a few mph, but the o/d works. and the odometer is still dead accurate GPS verified, even though the speedo is off. Odd. Gotta love an old mopar.

    • @DeadDodgeGarage
      @DeadDodgeGarage  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well, first off, coming right up. Haha. Second off, this is definitely a ‘92 truck, so I’ll guess the cluster has been changed. I used to know that difference. Haha. Third, I knew the early overdrives did not have a lockup, but this appeared to have the three wire transmission connector instead of two? I’ll have to look again. The computer is bad. It has an external regulator added to make it charge. The computer is sitting flat next to the battery and is full of leaves, mud and rat crap, so… yeah, we could have some issues there. I did inspect the transmission temp sensor wiring and TPS wiring, as well as the solenoid control wiring and saw no obvious faults. But have done no sensor or circuit tests yet. The big problem here is that I can’t ask the guy who owned the truck what was what, because he’s no longer winning with us. But I was told that the two switches were supposed to be OD and lockup control, so I was working on the assumption they were right and it had lockup. And given the trash computer, manual control makes good enough sense. I will get to the bottom of all of this soon.

    Jamie, I have that same year 1992 truck and the same interior. I have the dreaded "goo" steering wheel problem.
    And the steering wheels from other years don't interchange. I can wash off the goo with soap, but it comes back almost immediately.
    I put a cover over the wheel but it only partly covers the grip surface since it is fatter than the cover. And the spokes goo up, also. And, with the cover, it makes the wheel fatter than ever.
    I prefer a thin grip steering wheel like you'd find on, say, a 65 or 68 Chrysler 300, but they won't fit and of course they won't since the 92 is an air bag type.
    I only found one similar steering wheel for sale on line and the seller stated that it had the "goo". If you find one with no goo, late me know.
    Perhaps they are more likely to be found in cooler cloudier areas.

      My 92 tortured my back until I put a seat from an E body in place of the stock bucket seat. The bolsters in the sides of the factory buckets cut into my back, and I am not really "wide bodied" either.
      The kidney killing harsh ride of the d350 rear suspension is still a problem since I drove it very lightly loaded. And my overload stops were removed when I got it. A previous owner put air bags in, but I doubt they helped even before they wasted away. Air bag PLUS the main rear leafs, not "in place of".

    I had the same brake problem recently with my 2000 Durango. We took off the brake hose and put a vice grip on it. I drove it home 2 hours on the highway that way. I never had a better brake pedal and no pull. Did I mention it happened on the left front wheel while I was towing a car trailer?

    • @DeadDodgeGarage
      @DeadDodgeGarage  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh wow. I strongly considered the vice grip technique. The problem is, if there’s ever a time you need four working brakes, it’s when you have a car on the back. Trailer brakes aren’t an option… and especially after the right side started doing it. I can’t vice grip both 😅

    • @mexicanspec

      @@DeadDodgeGarage I was surprised it didn't pull and the brake pedal was solid. I had an empty trailer on the back. I couldn't find a decent VW Beetle to buy, if you can believe that, so I came back empty. The next day it was all redone. I was luck to have my buddy with me.

    But a ramp truck is not really needed for the occasional tow since you have trailers and so many trucks that can haul them, even your daily drivers.

    • @DeadDodgeGarage
      @DeadDodgeGarage  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I fit in them ok. I had a single cab service body truck that was my main squeeze for a whole. Ultimately, what I want is a crew cab truck with diesel power, a stick shift, and the ability to haul a car and a camper, or one car on the truck and one on the trailer. Either of those configurations should fly under any weigh station requirements. But there’s no doubt that the whole time I’m driving whatever truck I put together, I will be thinking about how much nicer my third gen with a trailer is to drive.

    Are you saying the overdrive and lock up TC are inoperative, or the truck did not come with them? I'm guessing inoperative. Because mine came with them and 3.54 gears. If you had a three speed, you got 3.07 approximate rear axle with the diesel and that is not a good combo. But I thought all 92's had the the OD trans. I see that the previous owner put switches on to control the overdrive and the lock up.
    That isn't a bad idea if they work. There is a factory switch for the OD which forces it off though it can not force it "on".

    • @DeadDodgeGarage
      @DeadDodgeGarage  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I am saying it came with them and they do not work, and that the owner apparently added switches to control both, which also don’t work. I haven’t gotten to the bottom of that yet. I am familiar with the factory OD cancel switch (broken in this case,) and with how things are *supposed* to work - which would be my preference.
