thinking on doing the change of cyl heads to EQ , timing chain , water pump etc.
Would most people use a Dodge repair manual or Chilton ?

grab the factory service manual from this forum and use that for anything and everything. Forget the chiltons or Haynes. Also the internet is a wealth kf knowledge for DIYs.


someday..... I hope to do something similar to what Frankie did. i.e. a 408.....


.......but perhaps also just build a high compression 360.

Would somebody point me into the right direction for that
1997- service manual , found others here but not what i need... thanks

Here. I think it is actually the 96 manual, but, it should be darn close for your truck.

thank you for your help ...

Truck still runs like a top. 250k miles. Still burns oil. Still geared like a tractor. Body starting to get a little rough. Steering still sloppy.

Thanks for the update! Was wondering how your truck was doing with the heads. Plan on replacing mine soon.
