'90 W250--'89/91/92 Ramcharger

It's almost like he's scared...

And here I thought it was the other way around!


I'll post in here and help you beat JQ's thread. My BS thread was a spot to BS, not to beat your thread.

And here I thought it was the other way around!

Exactly. Only time he has even offered to race the old green truck was with his motorcycle. I opted not to try though, because I knew once I passed him all the smoke would make him wreck the thing.


His old white turd may be able to keep up a little better soon though, because I'm leaving for Kansas Sunday to have a bed put on at Bradford Built and then up to Mark Nixon's to get some dually parts. That may add enough weight to even it up some. If he would get some bigger injectors, he may have something.

Taco hates the bed I'm getting, but what's he know....

What did the bed run you if you dont mind me asking. I want something similar for my 01.

[AHineman]

Too much.

[dazedandconfused]

Too much.

but it should help with traction.

No updates, but I did find a pic I took of my truck during the giant winds/rain storm we had a while ago with my new camera. It takes much nicer pics than this, and I'll get a couple more, it just refused to focus because there was so much rain.



I shoulda had the marker lights on, Pulltillbroke will be so disappointed.

Here's another one. It has my truck in it, so it's relevant to this thread, right?


Action shot just after it dropped 4 trees around my house. It was laying the top 1/4 of those trees back in the woods completely horizontal

Far be it from me to spread anymore Ramcharger propaganda around in here, but I figured I'd thank Mark for hooking me up with the perfect, great condition, fuel tank and sender for my project. I already burnt up an hour at work taking it apart and pulling all the filthy gasser stuff I don't need out of the sending unit.



I'd also like to thank Hineman for hauling it for me.

[RumbleFish]

I don't like ramchargers. I love 'em. We need more propaganda!

[AHineman]

I'd also like to thank Hineman for hauling it for me.

Just in case anyone had a hard time seeing that.



Since this has turned into a BS thread any ways...


Drove the green truck a little over 2000 miles from Sunday to Tuesday. 9 states. Drove all day Sunday. Got the Bradford Built bed installed on Monday at their factory in Kansas. Drove up to Mark's in Nebraska after that. Loaded up my dually frame and 7 wheels, got Levi's RC hatch and fuel tank. Drove back Tuesday.


Lot's of tools, etc. Two spares for the truck and two for the trailer.




Hillbillies heading back home.




18-20 mpg on the way out. 14-18 on the way back. No trouble keeping up and no EGT issues. Not bad for a twin turbo truck with 6x.016s and a hot 12mm pump.

[dazedandconfused]

I want better pics of that Bradford bed.

[AHineman]

This is probably all you'll get until I get the dually axle and springs under it. It looks goofy with no dualls.

[Tacoclaw]

I knew you couldn't resist putting a picture up.

I'll definitely have to put some more RC pics up now. Partially for Rumble, and partially to help get balance out some of the gayness that flatbed is stinking this place up with.

[AHineman]

You're just jealous Levi. You seemed to like it when it was delivering your parts.

[PToombs]

FYI, he was drooling on the parts, not the bed. I think.

I like the bed, but I wonder if duals will fill the wheel well? The single looks way in there.

Levi, what filthy gasser parts? I left mine intact and use the pump to pump the fuel to the front tank. I wish I had that filler neck though.

Green, SRW, flat bed. Hey, I've seen a truck like that before
