- You can mark the Torque converter and flex plate with a paint marker as they only line up one way when reassembled. Fighting allergies, heat, and a sore foot by far exceeded fighting the transmission!

A literal goldmine of info. 18 years old and bought this truck as my first ever vehicle. No experience doing this whatsoever but I kinda have to change out the flex plate to get to college…
I have a feeling you'll do just fine !!
Always fun watching someone else battle with the red rain.
Neutral start connector, a little heat with a heat gun helps them seat proper. Especially the old ones.
Was pleasantly surprised to see a drain plug on the 727 in my 68 D200. Apparently they used to put them in for some applications. Definitely made the whole process more "fun".
I am a owner of a 1984 and a 1985 both have 727 I am putting a rear end in the 85 from the 84 I do appreciate your video I am going to scrap the rest of the 84 and I wanted to get the transmission out your video was amazing I thought I was the only person that got dizzy when their arms were over their head I really appreciate the videoI have been a Mopar fanatic since 1985 started with the ramcharger thank you for trying to save America
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Great video! My back hurts just looking at 727's!🤣 thanks for sharing!
I would normally agree.... but it's my foot that's hurting now LOL
@@318willrun get well soon!
Thanks. I hope your foot is all better and well. I found your video by asking Google "how hard is it to remove a 727 from an old pickup?"
I have a 1984 D150 Prospector with a 318, and I bought a new 727 torqueflite from Summit. I got the same transmission jack that you have. Thanks for all the pointers.
I'm 32 years older than the pickup, pray for me.
Glad to have you with us !!! Good luck with your swap, prayers sent !
love your videos. picked up an 83 W150 and want to make it a drag truck as well. I was taught more of the newer vehicles stuff. it is really cool seeing how carbs and mechanicals worked in the past. Thank you for all your help! i plan to pull my trans and go through it this summer
Thanks ! Sounds like you have a fun project too !
Vary good info. I have swap my 727 soon in my RR
Transmission jack makes things nicer for sure ! Hope your foot heals up 👍.. looking forward to what your plans are next !! 👍
Thanks for watching ! The jack just became a necessity working by myself....
Thanx, another good video. Be nice to see 727 go in too...
Head Rush lol, haven't heard that one in like 25 years....lol
“Any hue” ha, I see what you did there. Any track days coming up? Really curious to see what DT will do at this stage. B&M used to make a steel 727 deep pan kit with a drain plug, but last time I checked I couldn’t find them anywhere. I had heard that the A500 and A518 came with a deep pan w/drain plug, but my ‘92 A518 doesn’t have a plug. Maybe later production years?
we button up a couple more things and we'll be looking at making a trip to the strip !!
Thanks brother, I have a front seal leaking on my 727 in my 1988 dodge d250, it needs some love 😎😎
Thanks, and give 'er some love !!!
Wow, I have the same make and model, and the same problem too. Any tips you can give that you wish you would've known going into it?
Nice work sir!!!!
Thanks!
Looks like fun.....not my idea of being underneath though....lol
Man if you were to see me change out a 727 on one of my b body's you would want to hit me.... And twice if you saw me change it in my 87 4wd Ramcharger it's very easy with the HFT transmission jack even a cave man can do it but I'll leave UTG out of it...lol... The Speedo pinion number means how many teeth the pinion has I know you just forgot... I alway enjoy your videos ....man I hope you foot gets better fast! ...nice jack man be careful with you feet.... A top side creeper really helps your back working on the trucks at about $250 you can make a engine support bar from some 3/16s square tube to sit just inside the fenders with a chain holding engine cheap... You could even use wood!.... I bought one long ago at HFT for doing fwd cars there still relatively cheap to get. Glad you showed the easy way to tell lock up from no lock and you know the convertor are not interchangeable and the valve body has extra plumbing for the lock up feature as well.
Thanks for watching! I always enjoy your input !
Drain plugs would be too easy. My first time was 73 Newport 400/727 in a pea gravel driveway. Only fell off jack 3 times before success. Had long hair back then that soaked up lots of fluid. Wet handprints all over lower fenders and doors. I gladly pay someone else nowadays.
LOL.... Changed a few on gravel with a small hydraulic jack...
excellent video!..what kind of headers are those?

thanks for the help! im 16 and got one pulled today at the junkyard out of a '85 d150 with 41k original miles! its going in my 93 d150 with a 318. any tips on getting it in or is it relatively the same as pulling it? thanks again for the help!
Nice that some youth is into this hobby! Pretty much just reverse of removing. Just watch that the torque converter is all the way seated (should be over an inch away from the tranny bell housing). Best of luck from us here at 318WR !!
do you ever have trouble putting them in? seems like I did and can't remember why right now. It was 20 years ago.
the transmission jack really helps with the alignment to the back of the block. Usually not much trouble
Would you be against putting a beefed up 904 in the truck?
For racing or a street rod, a 904 would be a great thing. IF you are using it "as a truck", pulling, hauling, etc I would keep the 727
I have a problem, I have a 1986 dodge d100 with a 904 transmission in it. I can’t find a torque converter for it and I can’t find any other 80s dodge truck with the same transmission in it. Please help!
2 questions you have to answer: Is it a 360? Is it a lock up converter or Non- lock up? Truck or car will be the same. Converters are available for those at just about every tranny shop or Converter Specialty shop.
@@318willrun it’s a 318 and I’m not sure if it’s a lock up or not. I found a torque converter but I’m so confused because when I read about the 904 transmission it says they stopped putting them in trucks in 1978
@@Directconnection05 My Dad's '82 D150 with a slant six has a 904. It is unusual for a 318 truck to have a 904, though. Usually 727
@@318willrun I found out the engine in it is a 1978 engine and probably transmission too. I don’t know what happened to the original one LOL
@@Directconnection05 I am not surprised. You'll find what you need, happy hunting !!
Where do you recommend buying a new speedo cable and gear?
I really don't have a specific store.. but the cable should available from many sources. The gear, maybe a mopar site or ebay, and the such.
@@318willrun Ok. Thanks 👍
Pop off distributor cap too. Risk management.
How did you get the the top bolts
Top bolts of the bell housing? You can sometimes reach from above or a long extension and a swivel
I'm doing the same project and am almost done with the new installation. The top bell housing bolts are the most infuriating. I used a couple wobble extensions and multiple u joint sockets to reach up in there. Used a impact tool to remove them, but I didn't and wouldn't use an impact tool to get them back in.
@318willrun yeah the transmission was being held up by my lomg tune headers that's why I didn't see the bolts, rookie mistake
@@ceceliagonzalez7176 had to a bunch of extensions I got it finally was hung up on the header haha

Do you want to sell that lu 727?
