It’s FINALLY Done! 1978 Dodge W200 Crew Cab "Problem Child" Build Wrap-up, Breakdowns & More 

The truck is on the cover of loc truck awesome work

I’m convinced the only way you can buy good parts for old cars today is to invent a time machine.

But wait! I haven't had my coffee yet.!!!

Man I remember when my steering wheel was all play like this. Adjusted the steering box and she is all good to go.

Steel drums playing Toto & Mopars...Cool combination 👍

That's one good looking truck.

If it will fit, put two hose clamps on the lower radiator hose coming out of the water pump. Had to do that to my '91.5 Cummins when it was NEW.

nice truck, Jamie you do good work aftermarket parts is not what they used to be, would love to see the little guy truck videos soon, thanks for opening your shop up to us brother have a good day

On my 82 225/435/9.25 2wd short bed reg cab truck. I blasted the gas tank with water and air to dry it, and it still left me stranded a few times. Cleaned the inline filter, and I was good to go. It took a few times but eventually it became my go to when my 99 durango takes a dump.

Love the old 2wd one .

Lotta work into this one. Always good to see a truck delivered to a happy customer.

I love it. A friend of mine had a truck like that back in the early 1980s. It had a 360 in it. It had big rig truck horns on the roof and a compressor under the hood.. We called it "THE WAR WAGON". We had a lot of fun in it.

Mine was a 1990 W250 Club Cab, 360/auto/long bed (aka the Farm Implement). My first NEW vehicle, ordered at the dealership. I loved that truck. When it worked the throttle body injection ran very well, the overdrive (A518) was awesome. I still miss it...

I love that generation of the dodge trucks, not necessarily the long crew cabs but it is a sweet truck, good work

That truck is awesome great job

There was a whole lot to like about that truck. Thanks to the owners and you bringing us along for the ride.

Thanks Jamie

Awesome truck..

Problem child is awesome!! Love to find one like yours. Keep being awesome!!

One thing good old dodge should have done 8ft bed otherwise great truck great videos keep them coming

Nice,nic,nice,need I say more? Gonna miss it in the background. Just made room for 2 something else's. 😂

Really nice

Super cool truck!

If you sandblasted the handles you can use that Dip paint it sticks perfect and it's a lot easier to get off when it does Chip

Awesome truck. Good job. Great video.

Those trucks were so awesome looking, and they’re pretty scarce these days. You can correct me if I’m off, but I believe these were the last Chryslers to get a 440 under the hood. Thanks for saving her!

Excellent job keep up the great work

Awesome truck!👍

Nice triuck.

This crew cab is what got me looking into your channel. You'll probably miss it more than I will. Electrical smells never end with my '80 Powerwagon. Blower motor, then head light switch. Now have to look into firewall bulk head connection. 20 plus years of a love hate relationship.

I just sold my 64 Dodge D200 4 door to a guy in Minnesota. I miss it and this project makes me miss it even more. I had wanted to throw a more modern diesel frame/engine under it but I wanted to focus my limited funds at my 67 Barracuda fastback. Love your videos!

Marshall Gauges/Instruments...really good stuff

I've seen two or three people leave the classic Mopar hobby because of the sheer frustration of chinsey new replacement parts. So it's kinda refreshing to see you power through that. I also had no idea how to turn on the gauge lights in my w200 until 21:17

Belt dressing will help the squeal. Having built a big block 4x4 crewcab people have no idea how many little things.

Nice build. Folks sometimes forget youre building these things for a customer, and have to build them according to the customers vision! Very nice build.

Gotta love Mopar it's always something I know they all have issues but it just seems to me I don't have as many issues w Chevy's lol

We really try and not work on the older vehicles at our shop... they never seem to get done and their needs and problems just keep going and going.

What’s 6 months among friends? Inconsistent gauge lighting has plagued my Valiant since I’ve had it. We have a solution in mind. ;)

She is a pretty cool looking truck, so we can over look the bad. lol

I do believe that the gas gauge on all W150 small and big blocks models is ... reads full and then empty in no time flat is a standard factory option !

I’d love to have a Cummins crew cab…but the single cab first gen I daily is a nice excuse to not have to drag all the kiddos on my outings to the dump and such. And I’ve just had that truck for so long I can’t ever see myself parting with it.

Etching primer on those door handles

You do good work, but i would never have you install a radio. I could see one of your customers waiting so long to have a tape deck installed just to find it is obsolete when you finish the job. Then he has you change it to a cd just to find that too is obsolete once you finish. I love your channel

Did you do the reverse rotation steering gear swap on this truck? I have the same 78 D 200 converted to 4x4. Made a huge difference for mine with a six inch lift running 36 inch military hummer tires.

Cummins swap with a nv4500 and it would be the most beautiful thing man has created.

Does the dip stick tube need some RITE STUFF to help the O-ring?😂 why does that sniper whistle?

I have always been told in an automatic transmission when it's puking fluid out of the dipstick it is a front pump issue

I am late to the DDG party and watching this out of order. You (or the owner)went with a Sniper. My 1991 D150 with a 318 runs amazingly well with the stock TBI. Was that not an option? I really love your videos.

A restoration is never finished! It just gives you a break...

Maybe a C body? About the same size.

This is about the only thing i would dump gobs of money into besides the aftermarket efi crap. I love these trucks and i have 2 looking for more and that power steering pump has always been an issue for random noises belt squeal and being a pain to tension by yourself. I went out and got a belt an inch smaller i believe it was for some gm pos so they had a million in stock and that gave me the proper travel much better tension and what should have been on it factory. Now in my opinion it should have been a manual truck and all the chrome would have been chrome with bigger lights on the bumper to blind kia drivers who refuse to move. Cool truck odd build but still would get behind it on the highway trying to guess if its a 360 making a ton of power or an angry 318 turning angry liquid to noise and regret.

Any ideas where to get a grille for a 77 W200 with the vertical turn signals like this one?

Why’s it so hard to get new parts for old mopars that do new part things!

The truck is telling you it wants you to keep it

👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️

I'm not sold on the add-on efi.

Umm your parking lot is looking kinda empty. Planning any new acquisition?

It doesn't matter how long it takes. What's important is that narration was not in a deep lifted truck voice. Builders do that here in their ads. It's annoying.

I am chasing an evolving coolant leak. It started at the upper left timing chain cover hole, then the right side, and now the back of the engine somewhere. It's dripping bad while hot, but not at all when cold. Drips from the bell housing. I'm thinking core plug after forgetting to drain the CLR cleaner I used to eat the calcium buildup. At this point I just wanna go a week without refilling!

Actually I prefer the second gen
