ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- This is a full install and review of the Hedman 79080 hedders and homemade custom exhaust. The mufflers being used are Dynomax bullets. This is a stock 1991 Dodge D150 with 318 TBI. I show the new positioning of the 02 bung and how to plug the 302 head smog ports. For More information view @318willrun channel.

Most would've left that edited out. That's why you're better than most. Trial and error is all part of the hobby
Thanks Brother! Every mistake can be a lesson or a blessing!
If a person has never made a mistake like that before, then they probably haven't done much.
Great video Joe.
Thanks brother. I’ll be the first to admit that I learn more from the mistakes than I do the successes.
Hah! I would categorize that as a blunder, not a mistake! As for me... I don't make mistakes or blunders. Nope, I go all out and create masterful catastrophes!
Nice looking and sounding exhaust job Mopar Joe.
Thanks Sue! I had to let the Cat-astrophe out the bag! 🤣
Masterful Catastrophe... Do you have that copyrighted or (??) Might be borrowing it after my next oops...🤣😂
@@wheels-n-tires1846 No problem. Feel free to use that term to describe all of your forth-coming woopsies. However, I hope you never need to use it. I invented "running with the scissors" when I was a youngster. I should have patented it!
@@JustMoparJoe Very clever response Joe. I'll bet you read my book of clever responses and fool-proof excuses. Ha ha!
2nd edition!
Your only human....thats what I love about you! Done the same mistake with brake tubing and fittings Doh!....but the exhaust came out nice and gave me plenty of ideas for my truck.
Thanks Moparnut62. At least I didn't have the hedder on when I found it. That'd been beer worthy!
Great job on your exhaust fabrication, i took a double take when i seen flange on wrong side of bung. Oh well living is learning.
Thanks Jeff. Hopefully I remember it for next time 😂
Omg! Someone else does have my luck! Lmao. Good videos and thanks for the bloopers!
Glad you like them! I might have enough to make video by the end of the year! LOL
Same headers I have on Drag Truck !! Nice headers, speak'n from experience!
Did you do a header install video? I’ll have to look through your videos.
Thank you. I had to quote your video on plugging the smog holes. It's less fun in the truck, but not terrible.
@@rong4189 I don't think I did on the truck, just the Duster. Justmoparjoe did a great job. I'll also say the passenger side you can just slip in from the top. In fact, I accidentally dropped mine from the top and it fell all the way to the ground... LOL
@@318willrun Oh well, looks like it isn’t too difficult anyway lol!
I've forgotten about the flange on a couple of exhaust jobs. You are not alone brother.
Thanks brother! I had to share it 😅
Almost the same kind of setup I plan for my 85. I want a good set of coated headers though. Looks good! And I'm glad you show your mistakes. It happens, get a laugh out of it and fix it.
Thanks brother. Hopefully No one has to do the same mistake I did. I hear there is a coating place that lasts way longer than factory style coatings.
As soon as i saw the opps... Nearly lost my coffee!!! Haha thank you for confirming that Im not the only person to have done that!!!🤣
😂 I was giving y’all something new to watch instead of the same old header install lol
I'm pretty sure a few old school carpenters had mini strokes when they saw you using a wood chisel on that gasket.....lol. Thats a nice clean truck. We have an 86 W250, but unfortunately it spent a good bit of it's life as a plow truck in PA, so it's 71.4% rust. Good installation, clean and simple.
Haha! Thanks brother. Sometimes you gotta use what you have.
I’ve made similar welding ut-ohs. Nice video and a clean install.
Thanks brother! Sh_it happens to the best of us!
Been there before Joe. Worked at Midis muffler screwed up more times than I'd like to admit. But I've also watched a lot of guys that I was working with do some horrendous screw-ups. One guy cut off drive shaft in half thinking it was an exhaust pipe, another guy set a car on fire because he kept beating up the floor board LOL
😂😂😂 that’s wild
I couldnt help but laugh at the misteak as I have been there my self This video come out the night before I am doing the same job tomorrow .Your exhaust looked real good nice job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Don't be a dipstick like me! LOL
@@JustMoparJoe I laughed at you and did for get the flange and did the same thing now that is a real Dummy
The truck is looking and sounding awsome 😎👍🤘🏁
Thanks brother! Hate that I had the mess up, but that’s how I learn 😅
You did a good job on that. I've got the same headers waiting to go on my 87 d100 318. Good to know they fit good.
Thanks brother! I believe the ideal setup would have been dual 2 1/4” pipes into an x pipe, and then ran into mufflers and pipes. The other option would have been into a Y pipe and into a single 3” muffler and single exit pipe. The 318 might have lost a little bottom end the way it is, but the owner wanted an exhaust that he could use with a high performance small block or big block later.
Out standing work dude!! As for the little screw up been there and done that.
It’s weird how it happens, but then you find it like 💩!
@@JustMoparJoe Yeah just when you though you got it all done then you find something that bites you in the ass.
LOL, bite by the flange, that's funny.
Little grind and weld and all better 😂
Thank you for your video. Appreciate you sharing a dunce moment lol. Iv made plenty myself. Take care.
Yes sir! The headers fit well! It was installer error 😂😂😂🔧
21:14 haha. After some bad words I eventually removed the giant 1978 starter from a 318 with Hedman headers. What a wrasslin' match that was, trying to get that big ol' starter out from such a tight space.
That’s a tricep and shoulder workout. Those things were made with railroad iron!
It's like strapping a tree to the roof of a car without opening the doors first lol
HAHA! I can honestly say that's one I haven't done before. I was definetly in too big of a hurry.
Clean.
That is a nice exhaust system! The truck sounds great! And it rips! Great job on the exhaust install, very clean installation . I wonder if you can get those Dynomax bullets in 4", looks like they would make great resonators for a Cummins exhaust.
Tough break on the oxy sen and header flange, That is most definitely something I would do!! ........and possibly have done.....
Thanks Duddie! It happens to everyone. Figured we should have some fun with it.
@@JustMoparJoe HaHa For sure, You had a Duddie moment, It happens, Eat some Tacos and keep wrenching!
It was almost Miller time when that happened.
@@JustMoparJoe I bet ! Glad you just kept moving on..... Because I would have gave up and went for Tacos and Beer haha
Hey looks good and sounds good thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brother. If mine, I would have switched to some 18" glasspacks. It really wasn't that loud in the cab, even without carpet or insulation.
Never made that mistake.
I mean that particular mistake. 😂
On my 66 Volvo wagon I upgraded from a straight 4 speed to one with a Leycock De Normanville J-type overdrive. (Gear Venders units are based on those)
Somehow I got through the engine build, a B20 block from a boat with car internal parts and went through the transmission and attached OD unit mostly mistake free. I'd never really seen any of that stuff before, so I was feeling smart. When I put the thing in I thought about hooking up the wires before getting the transmission in place, but didn't. Got everything bolted in then went to wire up the OD unit. There's two wires on top of the tanny for the 4th gear switch, that no matter how much I cut my hands trying I couldn't get at! Spent a few hours unbolting crap to tilt the engine back for two damned wires. But every thing worked and the only stain on the floor after the initial run in was my blood. 😂
That’s a pain! Thanks for sharing! I’m having a similar go with the aftermarket AC kit on the coronet. 🍺
You are not the first to make that mistake and far from the last... I cannot say I have ever done it, but I think it's because I have heard it too many times about making the flair before putting on the fitting. It's kind of beaten into me...
Sometimes you have to learn it from the hard experiences like this. I can say that I have never left any flexplate bolts loose LOL
@@JustMoparJoe I’m just surprised all that red RTV you put on those plugs didn’t end up in the oil... (snicker).
Nice job
Thanks brother!
Seriously nice man. Im doin my own exhaust system as well, full 3” true dual on a 360 with shorty glasspacks and side exits. Hoping itl sound something like these haha
Thanks brother! I have some 18” glass packs and 3 inch exhaust on my black truck. It sounded excellent with the 408.
@@JustMoparJoe sweeet. But man, if a good cam dosent satisfy me with this motor, ill just have to procharge it. Came out real lucky with this thing. My mom bought me a 72 d100 for $1k 5 years ago, took this long for me to get it in good shape. Originally thought it was a 318, then i read the block numbers n saw 360. It Was all frankensteined with different body panels. But i Found out the motor was remanned, and Now has headers, a 4 barrel, and just found out it has j heads!
No one expects a Frankenstein truck to outrun them!
@@JustMoparJoe haha yea. Finally have it all one color now
Nice job! This is great because I’ve been wondering about which headers to get for my ‘74 D100 and was planning the exact same exhaust routing. I gotta have more muffler than that though lol! I’ll get a mini starter if I have to, but how tough is it fit the stock starter? Looks like it would be really tight.
Thanks Ron! I believe I used the stock starter on the Red Sled when I put these same headers on. It was very tight. He switched to the mini starter not long after install.
I just use cut off roofing nails and silicone on head holes.
Im running same set on my d100
Awesome! Thanks for the support. What mufflers are you going with?
@@JustMoparJoe super 10 flowmaster
Those should sound sweet! This one needs more muffler IMO. I’m partial to 18” glass packs on stock 318’s. Lots of grunt and a good dodge rattle.
I wonder if those headers will fit the 95 Dakota.
Great video, is there anyway I could keep the stock starter on after installing it or do I really new a mini starter
I think the stock one will work. Be sure and install it at the same as the driver side header
LOL, I just bought a 90 model Club Cab same colors.
Cool truck! I scored the one from a few weeks back.
Does this truck have an aftermarket cam installed? Wondering if a bigger cam would work with stock TBI
No sir. This one was a bone stock cam. I believe you can go with a slightly larger cam, but nothing crazy. Maybe call oregon cams and get your stock one reground
Great video !!! I noticed that you did that right around the 6 min mark An said to self I bet that’s the mistake he’s talking about lol.. I even rewind it to make sure I did see what i thought I saw An sure enough lol !! Too funny 😁.. simple fix though ..that’s pretty close to what I about to finish up on my truck.. I got the headers all on with magnaflow high flow cats , An my header on passenger side came with 02 bung already in it .. an I also have a rear 02 sensor as well .. but I have yet to get my race bullets on An pipes I plan to run the same way u did ..did you not use a rear 02 sensor an where did u put the spark plug fouler in front 02 sensor Im guessing ?? An is that where I should run mine on the upstream/front ,not the downstream or ? It sounded real good !! 👍
So this truck only had one oxygen sensor. It was in the driver side manifold. I moved it to the passenger side. The big fouler was what I used for a bung for the one O2 sensor. It runs well. I felt like a Turkey after the flange 🤣
@@JustMoparJoe ooh ok I got ya now in the 02 sensor bung/fouler ..👍 An ya like you say we all do the darnest things lol
You ever do a carb conversion on a truck like that, mice have destroyed my wire harness for the multi port and now lve got a flooding issue and l can't get a a straight answer outta of anybody
Yes sir I did. It was an 88 dodge d100. That was project Red Sled. th-cam.com/video/I9T9ZoW2luE/w-d-xo.html
@@JustMoparJoe l thank ya
If anyone thinks when you work for any period of time on deferent things that stuff like that doesn’t happen you should retire lol we are all human as long as it’s not everything you touch be good brother
Thank you Rich! I like to share the good bad and ugly
I have exactly the same truck - 1991 d150 with 318 tbi and A500 transmission. I will pull out the motor soon and do a refresh - new gaskets, freeze plugs, paint, etc. The truck runs pretty good, small water leak at the intake manifold and one of the freeze plugs.
I was thinking about converting it to carburetor, delete the emission and computer stuff and do the same long headers. But now I see yours still with tbi and running good....
Do you think what you did to this truck improved the drivability, power of the motor? Would you do a carb conversion to this one or just go with a 360 la carb all in?
The carb swap would probably net you more power. The TBI does have decent drivability and is quite responsive in this one. I believe the headers gained some torque. But carb swap,intake, cam, and headers will do the he best. If you’re not worried about mileage, then go 360 all in! Lol
Lol! The flange! I thought I had it figured out your mistake when you installed the headers without putting the starter in. I maybe mistaken but it looks like the frame on the driver side has been cut or shaved back for clearance? I am currently installing the exact same headers on my small block warlock and having issues just barley clearing the frame and mini starter 🤦♂️.
That mini snuck in on the side, without unbolting! I was shocked.😂
@@JustMoparJoe do you know what starter you used? Like mid to late 90’s ram/Dakota?
@@LilRedGarage this one was already on the truck. It looks just like what you said. I normally order a 96 model ram 1500 starter at Oreilys.
Hahaha!!! Did you ever change a transmission and forget to put filter back on ? Then start it and pump the oil on the floor. I did more than once. I put a intake on a 440 cuda and when I went to hook up throttle the intake was on backwords!LOL
Oh man! That would suck!
Did you have any problems with the starter
No sir. Starter goes on when the driver side does. Mini starter is a bonus.
did you have to cut the frame?
No sir. Nice and clear
Speaking as a pro for 26 years we all have made mistakes. If a person says the haven't, then they haven't wrenched that long, or they're lying. Others have made worse mistakes than that.
Yes sir👍🏼
For the love of goodness nobody is saying if they used the original starter !?!?! Help me lol I got a 88 starter for my 87 and now the starter won’t turn
Definitely shouldn’t have an issue with the different year starter working. Maybe an issue with the aftermarket part itself
@@JustMoparJoe I just bought another starter I’m hoping my luck the brand new starter was defective
What has all been done to the engine?
This engine had just been freshened up with new rings, bearings, oil pump, timing set, and gaskets. Stock otherwise with the headers.
After watching this, I decided to do the same headers and similar exhaust and boy. She sounds good. Seems to run a lot better to. 89 D100 5.2
Meant to ask you I don’t know what it’s called but it’s on the passenger valve cover the three sockets the plug-in is that necessary shall I get rid of it or just leave it thanks
@@keenejunk697 I think it’s vacuum related. Definitely check for vacuum leaks. You may can pick up some torque with a good Y pipe and 3” outlet pipe. I think the 2 1/2” ilpipes were too much for a stock engine.
Hahahaha. Been there done that
Im glad I noticed it before bolting the hedder on! That would have been a lovely discovery! LOL
So you was in the military
No sir I was not. That’s a retired flight jacket that I wear when I’m welding sometime.
@@JustMoparJoe don't call me sir I'm
@@simoncochran9824 it’s a southern thing. I call people sir and Ma’am. Lol
