Thanks torger. I found that write-up some time ago, then "lost" it. I really appreciate you bringing it to light again. Hopefully others will see it and be helped too. I am currently one of those "weak bypassers" with the machine screw and tape haha.

I did get very very lucky. The cab on it is in fantastic shape, except for one small hole in the roof for wiring for the lightbar on top (VFD truck) but the light bar is still there, so the hole doesn't leak. I bought the truck just for the cab in all honesty, so everything else working just...

Thanks again for all of the help everyone. The truck is all up to par now. It didn't even need a transmission, it was just low on fluild, how funny is that?

I really appreciate the help everyone. Everything is all set to where it needs to be and it cranks over again as it should. Now to get gas tomorrow to see if it will start and if it does see if it is worthy of a transmission or if its to be parted. Sure was fun making all the neighbors run out...

Well guys, I fixed it. I am ashamed to say it was an accident, and a stupid oversight on my part. I got a little frustrated and punched the cluster and lo and behold it started to crank. It turns out the amp gauge was loose. Being the dodge guy I am, I should have known this. Anyhow all is well...

Well, I could accept that under normal circumstances flyingvan. I am a big dodge guy in general and know most of their normal gremlins, but it was sitting and idling at one point. I can't imagine them just "going bad" all of a sudden. I also forgot to mention a funny thing I noticed when there...

I appreciate the help fellas, but I know the battery is a good one, it was taken out of a running 880 (replaced the butchered up mess of a wiring harness on it lol) I might try that on the switch. I don't really want to buy a new one just yet, because I have no idea if the truck is even worthy...

I should have mentioned that I did all of that. It was running one second, then the switches on the dash flipped then nothing.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and hate to jump in asking a bunch of questions, but I searched and couldn't really find an answer. First off let me start off by saying, I am mainly a civilian dodge truck guy but found out quick these truck usally have good motors and body panels. I...
