An ‘87 Ramcharger with the 318 was my first vehicle! I fucking loved it! I broke and fixed that ol’ girl more times than I can count!!! That was 15yr ago and now I’m back in the market for one!!
I was just about to ask if he had any plans to go with winder wheels and tires before y'all walked around to the back to show those fuckin 40" swampers haha
Reid Smith I had a 90 k5 Blazer with the same rim and tire combo. Built 454 with a Weiand 10-71 blower and two Holley double pumpers. Man i miss that wagon so much.
Hey Taylor just curious how the ramcharger has held together with the weight of the Cummins? Bout to do this exact same swap any thing to look out for? I'll be swapping in the 1 ton axles and springs also
I dont know about the newer ramchargers but the older ones like mine (84) the frame can be weak in the front where the steering box mounts the bracket it mounts to can also break. a lot of people buy a frame boxing kit to put there which with all the extra weight and the bigger tires i would recommend doing if he hasnt already. that truck is my goals though i would love to eventually cummins swap mine but im only 17 as of now so i dont have the money or time
I put a dana 60 camper rear end in my trailduster with the 8 lugs setup with 5/8 studds and 17.5" super singles 16 ply semi tire on it. 360 2bbl 4 spd stick 4WD.
Dude theres more, we did so many mods on my trailduster it a ONE OF A KIND ONLY. with welded plates on the frame and super low gear its just like driving some kinda armored heavy truck, my heart gets racing when i drive it. Its a real monster, took 7 trucks to build!
Would you guys be able to do a video on the wiring? What hatness you used for the engine etc. Wiring is the one thing holding me back from doing this swap aside from money
Frank Waters made a fuss about remembering to put the link in.....and doesn't. I want to see how much that one is, because I'm looking at one for $47 I think

I was so disappointed when he said he would swap the Cummins into this at first. With those wheels and lift though it looks super good. I actually like it.
Taylor! How do you like the OmniPro welder for Tig? I was looking at the Vulcan ProTig but I don't know if I should get that or the Omnipro. I have a mig welder already at my job, just not sure which one to go with. Keep up the vids dude can't wait to see the LS come to life in the Miata ;)
fed has skills, I like this rig the video was hard to watch, the other guy drove me insane, off topic ramblings... Miatas should never be mentioned in a Cummins video
What is the point in levelling the front of your truck when the only thing you do with it is tow? You just going to make your truck sag in the back, unless you're planning on putting helper airbags in the rear there is 0 point in levelling the front.
It doesn't sag pretty much at all under load. Also. The fronts are sagged bad. They're about 1" from the bump stop so it bottoms out all the time. It would really be a lift back to factory height.

Can we get a link for the heads up display? That's so bad ass !
what a great truck setup,
This build is wicked, looks so cool, especially love that steering wheel! Great job dude

Man i miss that wagon so much.
Needs 24x14
Cheetah head lining is fire bro
She sound’s great!
1st Gen stuff! This truck is awesome ! I will build one of these some day.
That intake is legit! I think im going to buy a ramcharger to drop my current drivetrain into
Weren't you also going to do a breakdown of initial costs- selling unused parts and all to give a final tally of what it took?
Fed could use wood paneling for the head liner. Kidding. I love this truck. Amazing job. Fed has a set of particular skills.
Been wanting some more fed, he gonna help you with the miata swap?
Hey Taylor just curious how the ramcharger has held together with the weight of the Cummins? Bout to do this exact same swap any thing to look out for? I'll be swapping in the 1 ton axles and springs also
sick truck and the cheetah print is the best feature
tell fed to check out LMC truck, they sell all kinds of parts for first gen and earlier trucks.

Nice build fed
New taylor video? Insta like
Hi Taylor Where are the link to the heads up display and Btw you are a big inspiration :-)
that has to be one of the coolest ramchargers around
Does your friend still have this if sodo a update video on it
Realising they made it bigger on cam and still liking it!
Those new wheels are so much cooler than those ones on it! But he has to run those tyres. Look sick
Loved these videos of the ramcharger
the new wheels look 100 times better than the donk wheels on it! nice truck Fed
link to huds up display?
Where's that link for the HUD, Taylor?
www.amazon.com/GOGOLO-Universal-Speedometer-Windshield-Projector/dp/B06XZ66MVB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1512793169&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=gps+hud&psc=1
That ramcharger is so clean 😌
Dang I was hoping the link would be there haha
Congrats Fed, it's pretty nice!
Fed needs to test fit the swampers at least.!!!! Theyre sikkk
Thank god! I’ve been waiting for a video all day bro, you’re by far the best UA-camr💯
lol man i had no heat in my taurus for half a winter up here in michigan. driving all bundled up, if i would of crashed i probably would of been fine
4:32 Great "exa,ple" of spelling Taylor hehe.. Love the vids man keep at it :)
Mossy Oak coffee cup FTW.
I wanna see those tires on the ramcharger just as a mockup to see how ridiculous it would look, itd be fun.
I like it, big red truck, classic
nice camera broooooooooo!
did fed lose a lil weight? he looks different.
thought the same thing. good for him. feds a good egg.
that back axle looks like its sitting forward a bit
nice rig
Ayyyy make a video with Fed about drifting what he likes and what not!!You get the idea right??😀😀😀
I put a dana 60 camper rear end in my trailduster with the 8 lugs setup with 5/8 studds and 17.5" super singles 16 ply semi tire on it. 360 2bbl 4 spd stick 4WD.
Dude theres more, we did so many mods on my trailduster it a ONE OF A KIND ONLY. with welded plates on the frame and super low gear its just like driving some kinda armored heavy truck, my heart gets racing when i drive it. Its a real monster, took 7 trucks to build!
Heat would be nice today down here. Tampa was in the 30s in places.
If you ever need anything for a 12v look up power driven diesel
Daymn Fed that is knarley dude, good job you are not in the uk cos you’d need a mortgage to afford fuel! Thanks Taylor for showing the update!
im planning on the same for my 84
Would you guys be able to do a video on the wiring? What hatness you used for the engine etc. Wiring is the one thing holding me back from doing this swap aside from money
the only wiring needed for the motor is battery to starter and alt to battery really.
Yeah it's super simple. I'll try to cover it at some point but it's ridiculously easy.
Much love!
Yayy haven’t been this early for your vids in a lil while Taylor!!!
Man show us more of ur 12v
I have a 1987 w250 3/4 ton with a 318 auto and with Detroit lockers
I have 39.5/15R15 Super Swappers on my 88 Suburban
This truck makes me drool!!!!
i want to see those tires on the ramcharger!!!
fed is awesome :)
"Traction bars next" low key way of saying it death wobbles sometimes? 😉
I have those same exact mirrors on my 77 K5 Blazer
wow i have the same exact tree rash on my xj as fed, happen years ago and still hurts to talk about.
Great job fellas!
What is the link to that gps thing?

I think it’s this one
Did he ever go over the price from what he paid minus all the selling of spare parts for total cost?
Heck yea! Love the FirstGen stuff you guys post. May I suggest for Fed to do a Hood Stack for the exhaust? That would be dope!
Taylor You should put his old rims on your truck
I was so disappointed when he said he would swap the Cummins into this at first. With those wheels and lift though it looks super good. I actually like it.
You didn't put the link in the description for the HUD. I actually want one of those.....i don't need it, but it's pretty cool
I want your first gen Taylor!!
Did you have to upgrade the ram chargers suspension? I have a w150 and want to swap a 12v into it. Thanks man!
Dying for some more LS swap vids!!!!!
Do you really want to see yet another LS swap video? Holy shit the car scene is loosing it -_-
What is the fuel economy compared to the gas engine does the Cummins get better fuel economy????
You didn’t have to box In the frame for the weight of the motor?
How much is invested into it
Take em muddin'! And replace that passenger door.
Love the ramcharger
Sweet Geezus..💪♥️
How is the drifitng going Fed? ramcharger is awesome!
FFS (farfromstock) front bumper would be pretty cool. not sure if its the style he's goin for tho.
Swampers and 15s!!!!!!
if the ac gaskets are the older style steel flats doubble two steels will seal better
Still no mention of suspension, what did you do for axles? Did you leave the stock axles or upgrade to 3/4 or 1 ton?
itd look so much better with smaller rims and bigger tires
Thats sick how much would you charge for a complete engine swap
TAYLOR, that amazon link please! For heads up display
I don’t like the wheels on the ram charger but it id a sweet rig one of a kind
Tell you what, when I move down there I'll bring my K5 to one of y'all's events
Tell you what.
Use a GoPro suction cup to get those dents out
They have a cable kit to replace the vacuum actuators for like 140$$
Love
That's a nice Blazer.
so you guys didn't have to move the transmission mount?
Doing a 2nd gen swap in my 90 ramcharger. Your boy hablve any helpful tips lol
Hey I live in florida and I have a ramcharger too.

love your content keep up the cool shit!

What happened to the side of the truck? Did he crash and die?!
Where did you guys source the first gen engine brackets and mounts from?
i will put some force wheels with crazy offset it will look wayyyyy better
As a car guy you should say "knock on hood".....
