I boosted my project truck with my Ram today, never have heard that starter spin so fast before.

Got the wipers fixed, problem is, there is a bad wiper motor.

is that a bad wiper motor on the your project truck? you might want to try grounding it better. for some reason i think the ground connection on the older trucks was never very good.

Yeah. I would tend to agree with you on the grounding, however I don't think it is a ground issue since it will work when you beat it with a wrench. I think it has a bad spot on the motor. It DOES look original after all...

What is your project truck? I was working a a classic VW Beetle today and had to jump it off of the Ram... Funny thing was, I couldnt get the VW out of gear so I had to jack up one of the rear wheels! Wish me luck on a partial fuel system rebuild! (I don't know whether it is a carb or bad fuel pump yet).

I made a list of things I'm gonna need to get it back up and going... Im torn between making it either A) strictly off-road or B) Make it as big as I legally can and use it for street and off-road

Started shopping for parts for my complete driveline/axle rebuild.

Dlyter, keep it roadworthy. Much easier to get to the trails that way, and more fun IMO.

i installed extra backup lights and put the one of the stock reverse light on a relay with the new lights. can definitely see more on the drivers side but i think i got to play around with the one on the passenger side.
