My Motor is over-heating ,I think my thermostat might be sticking from the motor sitting so long.I'll be removing it this morning.If that don't help I might need a bigger radiator.If anyone knows someone who has a ram radiator for sale let me know.I'll take measurements and see if it will fit.I might buy an electric fan also.

I didn't put any Cat-converters on the truck when I installed the exhaust.It sounds awsome...I won't be able to get a video out until I get the overheating problem worked out.It won't be long.....regardless-I'll be insuring and tagging it today..

The Thermostat was sticking.I'm good.No more overheating.I have to change my Rack&pinion.today,or tomorrow.It's leaking everywhere. I hope the Dak-style Rack will handle the compression of the Hemi pump."We'll See"...

I did some swapping and got rid of some things around this junky *** yard of mine and optained my motor trany and truck.my hands are the only ones that have ever been under the hood.I couldn't have paid for someone to touch these wires if I did have the money,,.It took me 6 months and a total of less than $2,300.00 in this Hemi Powered Dakota..
Some people build toys "I built me some transportation yeee-Haw;...I can't afford a hemi off the lot,Thim Dam things is expinsive,. "BUT I Wanted one".So here it is..built in a dam field,I didn't even have a shade tree to work out of the sun...."But I wanted it"...spent over 75 hrs behind the computer looking up "Dodge wiring"I traced every wire down one at a time and filled up 5 -100 page note books with "DRAWN" wiring diagrams.."because I wanted IT"...
Lead fallow or stand aside and wish..
You gotta want it...
That's the phrase of the day boys.
getter done...

Drives good,I have to get the front tires and rims balanced,get another clutch fan.
change the front brake pads and find the right a/c lines so I'll have a/c .
I still haven't figured out how to hook up the cruise control. But it's a lot closer than it was.
