Working Through Problems On My 1982 Dodge W150 Slant Six 4x4 - Dead Dodge Garage

- On today’s episode, I dig into the poor running Iron Goat II, and after assuming that all of my problems were caused by a Weber carburetor the previous owner had installed, I learn that the points (which this truck shouldn’t have) are adjusted so badly the truck shouldn’t run at all. It’s moving in the right direction but definitely isn’t perfect yet.

I thought that was carb cleaner at first...then you dumped the water out 😂
😅
Thank you again for another awesome video! You got me wanting an old Dodge again.
I like that truck! I want a slant truck someday. Great video 👍 thanks Jamie
I am jealous. Currently trying to find a slant powered 4x4. Because I like slow things that are ridiculously hard to find parts for, and I can't afford an old power wagon.
As the owner of a slant six power wagon, ouch.
Buy a 318 or 360 powered pickup and a slant 6 car and get a set of the slant 6 mounts from a much more common 2wd pickup and a set of LA V8 mounts and an appropriate flex plate and torque converter for the car (unless it’s a stick) and you’ll have what you want plus a running, driving A,B,C,E,R,or M body car.
Can’t wait to see the truck on the trails!

Once upon a Thanksgiving weekend visiting fans in Baton Rouge the throttle cable plastic end housing thing fractured resulting in a very shaky or no throttle response. Not a part was to be found with the holiday weekend and all. Struggling to home in Gainesville, Florida I resolved the problem/failure with a fine assist from a roadside station mechanic probably in Mississippi. They still existed then. We ran a bailing wire lead through the firewall and I hand operated the throttle the remaining few/several hundred miles.
Anyway I expect someday to see you doing the same thing as an expedient now that you know about it. The auto was 4 speed floor.
See the first video I did on Tom’s 1970 Roadrunner for a related solution - a length of string, held through the window 😅
Thank god mine a 318 ☺️👌
Hi, Jamie, Did you figure out the dropping cylinder? @18:10 Actually, follow-up, what would be the most likely two or three reasons for a dropping cylinder? I have the 70s flat-pack ignition box and untouched disti with the plain light coffee cap. Thanks!
I know what you mean about getting easily distracted....this one time I was...wait...what was I saying? Something about...huh..just saw a squirrel. Hi jamie...great video.
Thanks Jamie
I like 6 cyl p/u trucks and vans.
I had a 79 D100 slant six with a short bed and 3 on the tree.iit was ridiculously underpowered. I can't imagine a 4X4 82 being anything but much worse
I’ve actually had an 80s D100 with a slant. That thing wasn’t bad at all, and would burn rubber on the one side without much effort. This 4x4 truck’s engine… wasn’t like that.
Rain ☔ much 😅
Yeahhhhhhh…
can you show me how did you block the egr system
I didn’t do it - but it’s easy enough to unhook the relevant vacuum lines, cap the vacuum source, pop it off, make a plate the same shape as the mounting flange, drill two holes, find or make a gasket and bolt the plate on.
What size tire on that rig?
Crap, I don’t remember. They came on it.
I’ll trade you running driving 1979 plymouth Volare for the w150
Unfortunately, I sold it about two months ago as part of my ‘Dead Dodge Garage Sale,’ in which I unloaded just about everything that was sitting around here to buy my ‘68 Charger. It was on its way to Montana last I heard.
Im a northeastern indiana farm kid lol...
I’m so close to the Pacific Ocean I could have webbed feet… there’s a slightly saltier flavor of redneck out here and I seem to have caught it.
