Flip down the glove box door and see if the ABS module is sitting there plugged in on top of the heater box. ☆☆☆☆☆

Oh, OK No rear ABS on the '88 Trucks, that's good.

Here's the specs on the brass ABS bypass fittings: 90° 3/16" flare with 1/8" pipe. 90° 5/16" flare with 1/8" pipe. 1/8" pipe brass coupler. Fits the factory dodge male brake line fittings at the rear ABS block. Teflon tape used on the threads. Local hardware store should have all the brass...

Bypass fittings I bought at Ace Hardware. Think it was 1/8" pipe and brass coupler. will have to look up what the brass 90° angles are. ☆☆☆☆☆

Cleaning up rusty bumper mount bolts in a tub of vinegar. 1st overnight soak and rinse here. Going back in the vinegar for another overnight soak. ☆☆☆☆☆

Don't know if you are beyond this yet? I had good luck using this Volt Meter to see charging voltage, when I did the 1 wire Alternator conversion on the '89 truck. Simple 12 volt wire hookup, the other spade on the back goes to ground. Works surprisingly well. ☆☆☆☆☆

A pint of Seafoam in the oil will help loosen up the carbon stuck piston rings, and help them to seal to the cylinder walls again. Have saved a lot of oil smoking engines by letting that seafoam soak in there for a couple weeks after warming up the engine. Then change out oil and fresh...

Good thing you are taking those spacers off. I see they were already loosening up and egging out the bolt holes. Nasty Dangerous.... ☆☆☆

There is a good chance the rear wheel only ABS system (junction block) went lame. Instead of trying to fix it, they probably just removed the rear brake shoes and went without. That rear ABS junction block is probably still stuck. This is a good fix to bypass the Rear ABS, then you can put...

Looks better with the wheel spacer out of there. Yeah Crazy, no rear brakes.... Lucky your aluminum wheels still fit the 5.5 truck bolt pattern. Saw your YouTube about putting the Bluetooth in the radio. Great idea > good thinking and execution. Too bad the actual radio came up lame. You Pull...

Put the new timing chain in. I know of the same loose timing chain issue on a caravan. Recommendation was only drive it back and forth to work 4 blocks away. Their kids took it on a road trip to Duluth MN on I-35w, 70+ miles per hour. Blew the timing chain half way there, had to leave the van...

Here is the new mount I recently put in the '89 D100 Pickup, with a 904 trans. ☆☆☆☆☆

Make sure and put the coil spring inside, there is suction there that will collapse that lower hose. Especially if using a higher volume water pump. ☆☆☆☆☆

Shaping up the Body Work on the lower rear box sides where the Step Bumper has gouged into them, both sides. ☆☆☆☆☆

Try a 93 Dakota

Apparently there are lots of people patiently waiting for Nick's: Part - 3 Video. 6,000 views in just 10 days. Too much cam, too low of compression with the previous odd .020 over pistons that were re-rung, sunken valves in the head's recent valve job. Mismatched intake to head ports, after...

All that added pollution control equipment sure is taxing on a simple V8, 4 barrel engine. Not to mention all that stuff is 45 years old and it all has to work if it is going to pass the emissions tests. If the truck has been sitting around and not being driven regularly, all the worse...

Another trip to U-Pull-It Parts, cut out a used door super structure with your battery powered Sawzall. Lay it on top of your's and spot weld it in. Done Deal... ☆☆☆☆☆

Yes now that you mention it, and same brand Tekonsha brake controller that you have, that I recently had shipped in used off ebay. Have one just like in my main Ford traveling / towing van that works so well too, wanted another one just like it. Simple to wire in. ☆☆☆☆☆

Saw your YouTube on '88 door panel removal today. Thumbs Up!

It's Toed Out, can check with a tape measure. Need it to be 1/8" toed in at the front measurement, as compared to the rear measurement of front tires. 1/8" toe in equalizes out to > 0" toe in when driving diwn the road. ☆☆☆☆☆

Time to clean up, seal, and paint the back side of the Chrome Step Bumper. ☆☆☆☆☆

OEM 383 camshaft grind numbers to achieve the desired goals of their Dyno tests. 1970 383 was already taking a compression reduction as per the new emissions restrictions, as a result output numbers will be down. Interesting the 383 2 barrel and 383 4 barrel engines used the same camshafts...

Nick's 383 Dyno Test - Part 1 OK here are the Bullet Cam card specs from the first test: Gross Valve Lift > 489/488 Duration > 268/281 Separation > 110 Duration @ .050 > 220/281 ______________ Can now compare these specs to the Factory 1970 383 4 barrel specs.

Here is the Comp Cam Specs, about....030 more lift than the stock 1970 383 cam specs: Comments from Nick's #2 383 video: ☆☆☆☆☆

...end in it, heavy duty, with the smooth back. Already set up as a V8 Automatic car, so that is a lot better than slant 6 stick car. No major conversion work to do. Will more than likely need the engine and trans gone through after 40 years of sitting. 2 Door Post Car or Hardtop? * * * * *
