Ive got the perfect starter truck to turn into a trail rig or farm truck! Be different than everyone & their Jeeps! It's an 1987 Dodge Raider (or Mitsubishi Pajero Mk 1) with the 2L 4 cylinder and an automatic. The interior is phenomenal in it and it starts and drives no problem! The frame does have some rust issues that would need to be taken care of however, which I sadly dont have the time to fix. There is some rust in a few spots on the body but nothing terrible. The motor is the same that is in a Conquest/Starion, and has a brand new cylinder head on it! (which is worth as much as the whole truck itself) It is still the carbureted model but it starts up no problem and drives beautifully, and even has low km's (just 154,000). Im looking to recoup some of my cost in this so im having to dump it at $1500 or best offer . Willing to part if need be to keep another few of these wicked little beasts going. If you’re interested please email and we can arrange for a look since it is located in Kingsville Ontario. Buyer will have to pay shipping but can be delivered for additional cost. As always on to the pics! http://www.flickr.com/photos/60181317@N03/sets/72157633491096380/

Hello, I have a TBI 305 that I bought cause it had a "blown headgasket" but after taking the heads off I realized it was a cracked head, I have a locked up 350 that im not using. my question is can I use the cam and heads from the 350 without running into any valve clearance problems and will it give it some more pep or would it be better to get an aftermarket cam and some junkyard 305 heads? thanks Travis

Recently I swapped out the factory 4" exhaust system for an after market 5" system. The kit specifically said not to reinstall any of the old sensors, so didn't. So of course the engine light is always on since the computer isn't reading any of the sensors now, no big deal, but now the computer keeps "REDUCING ENGINE POWER" and it is a dramatic reduction!!! Now after just a few minutes of driving this code comes across the screen and my truck starts to have less power and pick up than a Geo with a top speed of 60mph. This is driving me nuts!!! I have been putting the sensors back in one at a time cutting and welding on my new exhaust all the while hoping to fix the problem. I know I can't be the only person who has tried this swap since it came in a kit. Does anyone know what I should do to get around this problem so that I can get my power house truck back that a remember and love so much :confused:

Hi, everybody I need a little assistance. I have a 1987 chevy pickup, with a 350. It is now 3/4 ton, and now has a 205 transfur case. Now I want to put in a hd 4500 transmission. Has anybody done this swap, and can you tell me some of the stuff I will need? Such as what will I have to do about the hydraulic clutch actuator, can I use whats there or do I have to change it? Will my current bell housing bolt up? How much are my drive lines got to change? Where can I find discount quality parts? Any help would be very appreciated.

Okay here's the questions, does anyone know who owns this vehicle? The reason I ask this is because I have questions about the build I would like to know. I was wondering about the lift hieght, what leaf spring pack they used in the back, and if they plated the frame channel? I purchased a MJ and I like this build over the Zone's build because it's more budget friendly. I have read all the articles I could find about this vehicle and I still can't find the exact inforamtion I am looking for on the build of it. Any information about this build or who to contact about this build will help greatly, thank you.

RSVP - If you plan on coming, hit the RSVP button on the calendar. Also, send Hedge a PM with how many days you plan on attending and let me if you're coming to the bar-b-que and if you plan on camping (free) @ Rausch Creek (there are also hotels nearby). Fees: - You are responsible for paying your own fees directly to Rausch Creek for use of their property - There is no fee from GMC4x4.com to participate. Bar-b-que - If you plan on joining the bar-b-que, please bring food to share and we'll add it to the mix. Meeting Up - Once I receive confirmation on a few details, I'll post specifics on where in Rausch to meet, times, etc. etc. I look forward to seeing you guys there and if you have any questions, post them here http://www.gmc4x4.com/topic/1358-rausch-creek-pa-start-of-the-summer-trail-run/#entry19683 Best Regards, Hedge

My last user name was "Westx," and or "HighRide" idk... forgot. Anyways my story. My 1984 GMC has been dormant for awhile. It had all the good stuff.. blaa, blaa.. you know 1984 GMC short wide step side half ton truck with one ton running gear and 454 sitting on 44's swampers. Well the engine began to knock and the transmission was acting weird. Now the really up and coming good stuff. Been doing my research, more like shopping, and have some interesting parts now. For starts I scored an 8.1 liter off of ebay and plan on putting a dart intake, holley truck avenger, flow tech headers, tall deck hei distributor w/crab something and some malory 40 wires... etc. Also, have a new 168 tooth 2pc flexplate on the way AC 45011hd heavy duty torque converter to all go along with the th400 I have been rebuilding in my bedroom for the last couple mouths with all the good stuff. Not to forget to mention all the metric bolts on the way for the 8.1 liter since its all metric. Ill keep you all informed and provide pics with some support and help with you fellows here. Thanks for the long read and I will catch up with all later. -WAS

Only about 1.5"-2" and I heard that a body lift or a spacer kit would work since I'm not doing any real off roading in it; it's more for looks. I was just curious as to any suggestions on where I should go to buy and if there's any other work I have to do since I assume you can't just slap a kit in there. Thanks guys

you don't need a locksmith... you need a trained auto mechanic with an ADVANCED SCAN tool that can look at the door locking system... this is not one from the local parts store.. this will be an IDS scan tool from ford or rotunda.. its all computer operated... and you might end up at the dealership.. does the radio stay on also..???? with the key off and the doors open??? you might want to read this.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ most likely the radio not turning off when the doors are opened is due to a failed driver's door ajar switch, located in the doorlatch, and prior to replacement you can try to spray some PB Blaster into the doorlatch liberally and slam the door a few times to attempt to free the stuck switch, if that proves to no avail the switch will need to be replaced. As for the keyless entry not operating properly, first check fuse numbers 2, 16 and 22 underhood ,as well as num ber 20 inside fusebox, if fuses are good, attempt to reprogram the remote fobs using the procedure below. If reprogramming is unsuccasfull then the Ford scantool will be needed to monitor inputs to the module as well as to check for any DTC's and likely you will need to have the dealer, or a shop with the IDS scantool diagnose the concern Remote Transmitter Programming NOTE: All remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters must be programmed at the same time. NOTE: Programming (or reprogramming) of the RKE transmitters can be accomplished using a diagnostic tool or by carrying out the following steps: The vehicle must be electronically unlocked before entering program mode using the RKE transmitter, RKE keypad (if equipped) or door lock control switch while the driver door is open. Turn the key from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, with the eighth turn ending in RUN. If the module has successfully entered program mode, it locks and then unlocks all doors. Within 20 seconds, press any button on an RKE transmitter, and the doors lock and then unlock to confirm that each RKE transmitter is programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE transmitter. If the door locks do not respond for any RKE transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Inspection and Verification in this section. (Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters are attempted to be programmed.) Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs: The key transitions to the OFF position. 20 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed. The maximum number of RKE transmitters have been programmed.
