    Well I'll be.......you did it, you let the cat of the bag and stepped out of mysterious shadows!!!! Well....there's no going back now, so you might as well keep doing videos. We now know for sure you and Jeremy are brothers!!!! You can actually make appearances now on Duddie's channel scolding him, teaching him, molding him. That is a badass truck, sounds awesome too!!! This was awesome!!!

      @@TheDodgeWhisperer it leaks oil worse than my 12v. It seriously gets 2mpg. It needs a timing chain. I think it has a burned valve or something And most of all it needs new seats.
      With all that said...it runs really good. I drive it all over the lake. I need to pull the engine, reseal it, new timing chain, exh manifold gaskets and figure out why it runs so damn rich. Ill bring it by soon though

    The bed is a really cool and subtle way to keep your fenders out of harms way. My vote for the next walk around is Keystone, that thing sounded mean on that one appearance on Duddie's Adventures. Although the Top Hand sounds great for only a 250hp engine. What are you using for resonators on the Top Hand?

    • @TheDodgeWhisperer
      @TheDodgeWhisperer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Keystone is my choice too. It has a great history. The resonators are vibrant brand from summit racing

    Very cool truck man...thanks for the walk around...I was drillin Duddie for info...he must have known this was coming or you can congratulate him for not letting the cat out of the bag. Good to see your face isnt actually as rough as portrayed in Duddies vids ( pixelated )...although the resemblance to Jeremy might make me wanna hide it too :) Thanks for sharing, this is a really capable thing offroad...look forward to your next vid...hopefully not a 2 year wait ... hahaha

    That sure is a sweet ride. I'm planning on dropping a magnum in my 80 PW, and your fuel injection set up looks to be the ticket. Are you running an in tank pump. Having two tanks I'm not sure if I'll have to much restriction pulling fuel through the switch mechanism, and kill a frame mounted pump

    • @TheDodgeWhisperer
      @TheDodgeWhisperer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There is alot involved in a fuel injection setup.... mine is not ideal but it does work. Whatever you do definitely dont go cheap, and do an in tank pump if at all possible

    Nice truck . I have the same one. I want a 5 speed and drop the 360. I'm leaning toward 4.o straight 6. Daily driver. I'm looking for reliability. I love the 318. I just don't understand the swap. If you wanted a v8 and you had an old 360. Why would you pick the 318 instead of rebuilding the 360. And I'm asking your advice. I want to swap moters am I wrong for picking a straight 6? 4.0

    • @TheDodgeWhisperer
      @TheDodgeWhisperer  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      318 la or magnum are internally balanced which is a plus. the difference between a 360 or a 318 on the trail is negligible with the gearing, and it runs cooler

    Nice Truck !
    i have som Questions ...
    to build my 78 Dodge W150 correct..
    i has a Manual transmission ( NP4530 , ration 456 ) it and a np 203 Transvere case and 5 lug Dana44 front and a same smol in the rear..
    Now i want to change with dana 60
    Fromt and rear..
    Rear i have a Dana 60 the front i go by one from a K30 ..
    I have a GM NP205 changed to 35 (? ) spline input female ( works with TH400) ..
    Now i want to make a Dubbler let the Underdrive from the 203 in it and 205 behind ( works with now modificstion together ? (NP203 underdrive box with the 205 female input ? ) ( Dubbler kit from Offroaddesign)
    Next wath im not shure are the correct Axle gear ration ( want arround 38" tiers)
    Now wath im not shure are gear
    ration .. Becose i want drive Highway speed with low rpm.. arround 75 miles with under 2000rpm.. so i think i need arround 3.55 gears.. ??
    but most wath i see drive 4,50 Axle ration ore 4.8 ore higher..
    But i think with this high 4.5/4.8 i dont has an gassafe gasmilage..
    so i think to take a3.55
    and with this 2 Underdrives low gear i
    with that i think it is enough..
    wath you think ??
    You have on bouth axles Spartan lunchbox lochers ?
    They works nearly same as fulf lock ox ore air locker ?
    And i want change the carburator to like your summit TPI system.. or maybee somphing from Edelbrock ..
    Steering to like from offroaddesign Hi steer kit.. And some more Gastanks for long travel....
    sory for my bad english
