I've owned both, liked my broncos but I've owned several ramchargers .. I like my rams much better, both rust out like crazy, but I like my solid axle easy to lift, and if your a Mopar nut easy to make power
I didn't think it was possible to miss my Late Dad anymore than I already do, but when I saw the striped bibs I choked up a little . That's the same kind he always wore. R.I.P Dad and Mom.
I’ve got an 87 and just did a full restoration of it including rebuilt drivetrain and front and rear diffs. Bodywork., paint. Blue and white two tone on 39 tsl superswampers. It’s my trailrig
I had a 84, two 85s and a 86 before my current 79. One was a rust bucket but it was turned into a rock crawler and carved up anyway. My 79 was 2200 in 2007. It’s now a 360 magnum/nv4500/Dana300/4.56s on 35s. I’ve been all over in it, from LaPaz to Moab. Now in SC, I’m finally rewiring it.
Hey guys, hot ramcharger tip! They have huge fuel tanks but somehow they only hold 22 gallons! I had one and a friend of mine as well. (25 years ago) we discovered that the fuel pick up must get bent upwards during installation of plastic tank assembly and it curls up from the bottom of the tank. Turns out it’s about a 32 + gallon tank! never would’ve known, it has a huge skid plate over the tank. And they were untouched on both vehicles. Check it out!!
I have a 1983 Ramcharger I bought new raised my family 4 wheeling I parked it 10 years ago after seeing this next week the engine is coming out and I m going to stroke the 360 to a 408 thanks for motivating me.
one pro tip,when you're working on a lifted vehicle with big tyres, let the air out of the tyres, gets everything lower so you don't have to stand on stools or crates😊
I had a friend look at my 72 Monte Carlo when it was across the country. (Found on a "fan of" page) He is not a "car guy" but I told him what to look for. Long story short, It had a few more issues than described but overall pleased with my purchase.
I love this. My late dad had an early 80s w150 growing up - single cab, short bed that was awesome. I loved that truck, even as a kid. He did an engine swap in our driveway by himself over a weekend once (this was his daily and only vehicle) and managed to get it running before he had to be at work on Monday. Miss him tons and would love to have that truck back, and this video just reminds me of him. Thanks for everything you do Tony and team!
My first car was an '87 Ramcharger. It was only 2wd, but I dug that because I envisioned myself building it into a unique muscle truck. I absolutely loved that thing and spent hours driving it and practicing for my road test which I took in that truck. It was incredibly reliable and never let me down and it was devastating when another driver blew a stop sign and totaled my truck...I have never gotten over that. Thanks, Tony, for bringing me nostalgia and making killer content!
What you have there is a 750 street avenger. It came with a bunch of different springs as well when new for the vacuum secondary’s so you could bring them in later or quicker what ever fit your build as well as the rear metering block for better on the fly tuning. Nice piece for the price!
Hey Tony you prolly know this, but figured I'd mention it just in case. On your tire machine, if the roller is broke like that. Just adjust the swing arm bump stop, set it so you have small gap not touching the rim. If you do already know that, my bad just wanted to mention just in case. I worked in a tire shop for like 7 yrs, so tire machine became my best friend,😂. Anyhow, love the channel brother!!!
Mid week episodes are dope! No idea how you guys have the energy to stay up wrenching till 3am but as long as y'all keep doing it, we'll keep watching!
I’ve owned a very nice 1990 Blazer, two Broncos, I’m still enjoying the second one ,a 1994 white Bronco sport with the 351W and some goodies under the hood. It’s a keeper,very nice. But I would love one of these Ramchargers,and my old Blazer again,it would be nice collection of the Big Three big SUV’s
I do love this generation of the trucks and the ramchargers. I had a 78 longbed adventurer with a mild 360, cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, and headers. it was too much for the rusty old truck. Had to swap from the full time 4x4 transfer case with a differential for a normal dual range case, because it would break loose a front tire when i would take off and pull left and right like crazy. The best dodge truck dana 44 is before 78(bigger u joints ), but definitely keep an eye on the tiny front ujoints in that 80s version.
My 86 Ramcharger came with a 360 and a Quadrajet. Why in the world anybody wants a freaking Holley is beyond me. I find Q-jet`s very easy to tune, lots of parts out there. Most people don`t understand the Secondary air door setting and just complain about the infamous Q-jet bog, which is nothing more than a misadjusted air door. I replaced the 360 with a 440 and rebuilt the Thermoquad that came on it, it is sweet and dialed in perfect on the A/F ratios. Instant throttle response, great mileage, no leaks.
@4:52, I remember being able to sit on the grill an work on it just like this with PLENTY of room to work! My measly 225 was easy of course, but never knew you could crawl into the bay with the 8-buckets as well! Awesome! Today you couldn't get a tongue depressor an inch into the top of the engine in today's cars.
Got an '83 Ram 2wd short bed slant six 4 speed, been slacking on it hard the past few years. Wrenched and daily drove it through my early 20's and fell in love. Can't bring myself to get rid of it. Felt like you were talking to me at the end there
That is an AWESOME truck. I have always loved Ramchargers. I had a chance to buy a pretty nice one back quite a few years ago and didn't do it. I regret that choose all the time. Hope to see this one back on the channel as it gets fixed up more
I had a 1983 Ramcharger with a 360 LA and a 727 with a NP205 transfer case sitting on slotted wheels and 33x12.50s. Believe me when I tell you that thing would climb damn near ANYTHING.
Guys, all of you there, I just want to say I really appreciate these videos, this style. It feels like its been missing for a while for me. Just nice to "hang out at the shop", I mean its not super edited to just the best al all pretty effects, its just working on cars at the shop, but shot really well and high quality and good audio. its great. Long way to say, keep it up, I love it.
I put those Hella lights on my car senior year of high school 1992. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Not a single female was impressed. Not one.
My step dad had one of them when I was super young, had a Chrysler 400 swap and mild build. Thing was a blast in the sand dunes, sand drags! Cool to see!
The 360 likes more initial timing, around 36 total (depending on how efficient the later heads are), and really likes to have a recurved set of mechanical advance springs in the distributor. If you have a distributor that originally uses a ported vacuum source, switch or modify to one that uses manifold vacuum, because a ported vacuum distributor is difficult to get running correctly. Running that much timing may require using a higher octane gasoline.
If you want a great dual purpose Street / 4WD Camshaft, a great pick for that 360 is the Lunati Street Master 10200312 Idle - 5500 .485"/.485" 220/220 266/266 110/104 Hyd/Hyd Good for high performance street applications with good vacuum to work all power accessories. Needs headers, 9:1 compression and 3.50 gearing. Good idle. There is also the Lunati Voodoo 10200702 with slightly higher duration / Lift - but that wants Roller Rockers and better springs.. that will make those freshly installed mods really work for their living.
When I was a kid in the 70s, my dad bought a brand new 76 Plymouth Trailduster. He always said the biggest mistake was that he didn't get it as the four-wheel drive because that thing got stuck everywhere. Eventually, he sold it.
Awesome truck. I think you needs shirts that say "We're gonna CLEAN the shop!" Smacking that pulley on while holding it because you don't have a clean inch of bench...lol.
When you started it up i could hear a "galoping" sound which normally means that not all cylinders want to "join the party". May want to take a look at that..
so funny I just purchased three months ago the exact same 87 ramcharger same color for 2000.00 the 360 motor needed work head liner had be removed all of the same things with that and I put it on the UA-cam also three videos of it keep up the great work love your videos
I absolutely loved and dearly miss my '86 Ramcharger. By far my favorite truck I've ever owned. Everyone called me OJ cause they thought it was a Bronco
Decided to take the plunge and Hemi swap mine now while I’m rewiring it and some other over due TLC after 17 yrs of hard use. My magnum is going into my Duster since the 340 ate two lifters coming back from Sebring.
Thanks for doing a video for the 80s Dodge guys out there. I have a 85 D100 stepside that I love it was cheap it’s cool enough, finding parts isn’t great, but I love it. Not a lot of love out there for the ramchargers, and D series!
The second gen ramcharger's were the best looking. My grandpa had one and that thing as a kid i thought was unstoppable when i would get to go along with him and he would take it through the mud.
Hey Tony just saying I'm about 2 hours from you and I have plenty of parts for that ramcharger. I have about 20 of them and a stack of parts and panels
I had an '86 Ram 150 Custom long bed. Beige with bench seat. It had the 225 slant-6. I was in high school at the time, an my father said that if the engine ever died, we'd put in a 360 or 383. Naturally I tried to kill it. Ran it with low/no fluids, burnt oil, very low coolant, everything. The truck would stall from a hard acceleration to idle, so I was trying to beat a stoplight, realized I wouldn't make it, an threw it into (what I thought) would be neutral. It skipped neutral an right into reverse. In that split second I thought the 747 trans would bomb out. Nope. It caught an braked harder than if I'd jumped from a ledge onto the brakes. Still ran, though the parking pawl in the gearbox was torn up, making it an ordeal to get from park to drive, but you'd be able to wrestle it with enough rocking the truck back an forth. A couple years later with neglect, the damned thing started an ran every time! Granted, it got single digits mpg an wouldn't climb a toothpick due to a cracked intake an gaskets, but it did run every day for years. Never did get that damned V8 swap. To this day, almost 30 years later, I wish I could find one again that I can afford. This time a V8 with a manual. An beige. In NC? Good luck.
As the owner of an ‘85 Ramcharger on 35’s, I can say, without question, the most annoying thing is hearing “hey man, that’s a sweet Bronco!”
It literally says dodge on the front and ram on the side 😅 you might just be running into less intelligent people
@@yooooo6296no, it’s common. People don’t bother to read any better than they listen.
Had one in high school and told everyone I drove a charger. Really confused the heck out of everyone when I showed up in that “bronco”
As the owner of a couple of Broncos over the last thirty years, I can say neither was ever mistaken for a dodge. 😅
I've owned both, liked my broncos but I've owned several ramchargers .. I like my rams much better, both rust out like crazy, but I like my solid axle easy to lift, and if your a Mopar nut easy to make power
Best real-world car enthusiast/rodder channel ever.
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
I didn't think it was possible to miss my Late Dad anymore than I already do, but when I saw the striped bibs I choked up a little . That's the same kind he always wore. R.I.P Dad and Mom.
You made me weep. Sorry for loss.
Sorry for your loss.
@@PatandDoopypoopy Thanks.
@@joeymcnelis3975 Thanks.
Way to keep us on our toes . Hitting us with a mid week episode Lucky us 🤌🤌👍
Just wanted to get some hands on Mikey's truck! And make it a bit better!
Awesome ram charger!!! Live the mud week vid too!!
It’s not Friday! Sweet, Extra Tony.
Yessir, thanks for watching!
I’ve got an 87 and just did a full restoration of it including rebuilt drivetrain and front and rear diffs. Bodywork., paint. Blue and white two tone on 39 tsl superswampers. It’s my trailrig
I fell in love with Ramchargers when I was introduced to Chuck Norris's Lone Wolf McQuade. Probably his best work
Yeah, and Supercharged!
Not gonna lie this is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to watch! Keep it up y’all!!
Awesome! Thank you!
@@StayTunedTA real talk, when are we going to see the lotus again????
I had a 84, two 85s and a 86 before my current 79. One was a rust bucket but it was turned into a rock crawler and carved up anyway.
My 79 was 2200 in 2007. It’s now a 360 magnum/nv4500/Dana300/4.56s on 35s. I’ve been all over in it, from LaPaz to Moab. Now in SC, I’m finally rewiring it.
Stay tuned never disappoints!!!!
Well, thanks so much! Appreciate it!
That’s one clean ram charger. And only $2k?! Crazy good deal.
Oh, and this is one of the best car channels on UA-cam! I wish I was this good. 🤘
Hey guys, hot ramcharger tip! They have huge fuel tanks but somehow they only hold 22 gallons! I had one and a friend of mine as well.

Bro every project you do is literally one I wish I could…so glad your still pushing out content!
I appreciate that!
I like the song at the 11:38 mark lol The Sword!
The Sword rules!
Love ramchargers , one of the best looking trucks ever
I have a 1983 Ramcharger I bought new raised my family 4 wheeling I parked it 10 years ago after seeing this next week the engine is coming out and I m going to stroke the 360 to a 408 thanks for motivating me.
I think big daddy vice grip garage just appears from the ether and lifts these men up. Good job guys
Derek is a legend for sure! Dude has given a ton of good info on building this channel.
one pro tip,when you're working on a lifted vehicle with big tyres, let the air out of the tyres, gets everything lower so you don't have to stand on stools or crates😊
Bro, this thing could be on the rotors and I would need a stool.
You know it’s going to be a down and dirty party when T/A enters the room . Love it!!
Thank you for a early episode this week, you can never have enough “Stay Tuned”!
7:06 “checks out” 🤣🤣🤣
He just needs to put a down and dirty 440 in it
I love that you love mopars too and there ain't that many mopar builds like you do on UA-cam by other big youtubers so its a treat everything I watch.
I had a friend look at my 72 Monte Carlo when it was across the country. (Found on a "fan of" page)
He is not a "car guy" but I told him what to look for.

I've had two Ramchargers (well, one Trailduster), both were awesome old trucks. I can't wait to see this one shape up.
This ram charger just hits my soul, I was raised around 70s and 80s dodge trucks.
I always liked those Ramchargers & Traildusters! This one appears to be coming along nicely! Great stuff!👍

I had a 79 Ramcharger with removable top,318 4 spd. I miss that truck.
was with my uncle when he picked up his brand new 1991 ramcharger loved em
Tony is the best friend car guys could have.
Dude that is like gold compared to the bad decisions i make.
Stay Tuned is by far the best car channel going. Tony is a wealth of knowledge about most car stuff. Keep it up guys.

Something about those Ramchargers. I just love them!
Let’s go tony! Good stuff with a early upload boys keep rocking🤘
4am wrenching with friends is pretty good.
The channel is getting pretty good! Glad to see you're human and make mistakes like the rest of us!
Man i always wated a ram charger, i loved my bronco, never really wanted a k5 blazer but i love the look of the dodges of that era
I had an 85 ramcharger that was as rusty as that! I could see the road through the door. Bringing back memories!
I've had my '86 for 16 years now, threw a stroker kit in the 360 earlier this year for 410" inches.
@4:52, I remember being able to sit on the grill an work on it just like this with PLENTY of room to work! My measly 225 was easy of course, but never knew you could crawl into the bay with the 8-buckets as well! Awesome!

I did that trick years ago when I read it in the hot rod magazine under tech tips. Chapstick just caused it to stick like glue.

Exactly what this channel was missing, working on your buddies rigs too!
I put those Hella lights on my car senior year of high school 1992. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Not a single female was impressed. Not one.
Man, I bet a rack of dudes were stoked though!
🤣 meanwhile I had the big 6” round ones, on my Jeep too..
Girls don't know what is cool anyway
Old cars/trucks are dude magnets. Chicks don't care about them.
I heard a riff from the band The Sword playing! Love your taste in music and your taste in vehicles!
I've now watched the entire back catalog of stay tuned, I can't get enough!
My step dad had one of them when I was super young, had a Chrysler 400 swap and mild build. Thing was a blast in the sand dunes, sand drags! Cool to see!
Very cool! a 400 would haul the mail pretty well.
I love seeing these trucks from my era revived that’s so cool. And the ram charger was all but forgotten. Way to go guys
Love this channel: love the music, the convos, the knowledge, and the education! Great fun and entertainment. Thanks, fellas!
Been watching on my tv for months now, finally subscribed on my phone. Was hoping I’d put you over 200k 😝👍
Love your work. Don’t stop
Thanks, dudes! Nice Bronco!😂
No really, I love these trucks. Capable, and you can still park it! Nice work! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
That's awesome. I've always wanted an early Ramcharger or Trailduster. I ended up with a 77 CJ7 that I now daily drive.
The 360 likes more initial timing, around 36 total (depending on how efficient the later heads are), and really likes to have a recurved set of mechanical advance springs in the distributor. If you have a distributor that originally uses a ported vacuum source, switch or modify to one that uses manifold vacuum, because a ported vacuum distributor is difficult to get running correctly. Running that much timing may require using a higher octane gasoline.
Beautiful Ramcharger. I love the two tone!
More great content. Gotta love the Mopar dolphin noise when starting.
If you want a great dual purpose Street / 4WD Camshaft, a great pick for that 360 is the Lunati Street Master 10200312 Idle - 5500 .485"/.485" 220/220 266/266 110/104 Hyd/Hyd
Good for high performance street applications
with good vacuum to work all
power accessories. Needs headers, 9:1
compression and 3.50 gearing. Good idle. There is also the Lunati Voodoo 10200702 with slightly higher duration / Lift - but that wants Roller Rockers and better springs.. that will make those freshly installed mods really work for their living.
When I was a kid in the 70s, my dad bought a brand new 76 Plymouth Trailduster. He always said the biggest mistake was that he didn't get it as the four-wheel drive because that thing got stuck everywhere. Eventually, he sold it.
Tony, good on ya man, this channel is really starting to get some traction! I'm baffled at how many cars you've scooped up in the past year.
Awesome truck. I think you needs shirts that say "We're gonna CLEAN the shop!" Smacking that pulley on while holding it because you don't have a clean inch of bench...lol.
Alex from Maine! Hello from the east coast! Thanks for the mid week video!
Even with the vacuum secondary you don't get thirsty between fuel stops
Ok just here me out, I drive my 69 Catalina up to you guys and we fix all the things wrong with it. Sounds like great content to me.
Bro a video on a Tuesday! Hell yeah brother!!!!! Thank you. It's going to be a good night!
Thanks for watching! Trying to pump out some mid week videos where we can!
@@StayTunedTA Heck yeah! Well I appreciate it, and of course it's on something that I want to build!
Gotta call this Stay TUEnesday
HA, we were just saying that!
Bonus episode for the week? Woot!
You can have a little extra Stay Tuned, as a treat! Thanks for watching!
Super cool you're including your lifelong bro, set him up w his own channel, I'll subscribe !! Thanks for the great videos!!
When you started it up i could hear a "galoping" sound which normally means that not all cylinders want to "join the party". May want to take a look at that..
Mopar 360 has been one of fav V8s to work on... with that said I have not yet played the lesser know chevy ls no one talks about.
so funny I just purchased three months ago the exact same 87 ramcharger same color for 2000.00 the 360 motor needed work head liner had be removed all of the same things with that and I put it on the UA-cam also three videos of it
keep up the great work love your videos

i would like to see you straighten that quarter panel out the best you can and keep racing it… add some rusty /dented doors and fenders etc
Thanks for doing a video for the 80s Dodge guys out there. I have a 85 D100 stepside that I love it was cheap it’s cool enough, finding parts isn’t great, but I love it. Not a lot of love out there for the ramchargers, and D series!
I love me some ramcharger, my dad's county work truck was a baby blue one. Also love me some lone wolf McQuade!
I had a '70 K5 Blazer in high school & have always liked other short wheelbase trucks. Cool build, wish I still had mine.
The second gen ramcharger's were the best looking. My grandpa had one and that thing as a kid i thought was unstoppable when i would get to go along with him and he would take it through the mud.

Makes miss ours when I was a teenager. 318 4 spped.
who woulda thought Vinny from Jersey Shore drives a ramcharger.
What a surprise upload ! Awesome content as always Tony!
Trying to pump out some stuff between Fridays. Hope you enjoyed it!
@@StayTunedTA absolutely did thank you for the extra uploads, keep on pumping them out sir
I had an '86 Ram 150 Custom long bed. Beige with bench seat. It had the 225 slant-6.
I was in high school at the time, an my father said that if the engine ever died, we'd put in a 360 or 383. Naturally I tried to kill it. Ran it with low/no fluids, burnt oil, very low coolant, everything.

You better also drop an episode Friday. I need my weekend starting with Stay Tuned! :D
I would have kept the Rochester 💯! I built my last one and it was a beast! It's amazing how well they perform when you know what you're doing to them
Yeah, he messed with it but couldn't get it right, apparently. I have heard good things but he wanted to swap to Holley, which we can tune and dial in
Not a friday and theres a new stay tuned! I could get used to this!!
Ha, we do what we can!
@@StayTunedTA Content has been bang on guys, keep up the great work!
ENJOY WATCHING, Suggestion late model starter motor, lighter and smaller. More room for headders too.
