All right i am new to the d150 but not dodge jeeps and chryslers i just received a free 1989 150 power ram short cad short bed retired forestry service truck with the 5.9l v-8 in the rear its got a 13 bolt chevy with 4.10s thats all i know so far. in the front a dana 60 with some kind of locker and a 4.10.curently running bfg 33 mud-terrains The transmission is going out and need some sources to find a good replacement also the 5.9l needs some amping out with a 144000 miles i really need some ideas and who better to ask then the guys who love these trucks. i appreciate all ideas for engine transmission and suspension so please let me know thanx

 

A d150 is a 2wd and a w150 is a 4wd.
What condition is it in?
Hows it run overall?

 

hey mine was a forestry truck too. is your coming right from the government with the
33s? seem unlikely.

as for finding a new 727 it shouldnt be hard. i would start by calling local transmission shops to see what they can get new for prices. then see if theyd install one that you sourced, and how much. someitme a google search for torqueflite 727 +(your location or major city) is a good place to start. craigslist, kijiji work too. look for donor vehicles.

 

I am restoring a 1989 w150 (all original lime green like a west coast forestry truck) The ignition lock cylinder was replaced. Problem is the turn signals, brake lights, horn, and e-flashers don't work. Haynes Manuals are no help, Looks all those items are controlled in a box below the steering column. Is there a single fuse for that box? Anyone have awiring diagram for 1989? Thanks. dnail

 

best to start with the easiest and most obvious thing but did you plug them back in? all those things usually share the same connectors.
