    1983 Checkmate Sportfire I/O

    Things have changed and spare time will be non-existent this summer. 1983 Checkmate Sportfire. I purchased it last summer and this has been owned by one or two forum members. It has the 3.7l and runs well. Runs cool and the motor is very clean. Floors are solid and the exterior looks awesome...

    Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi?

    Thanks for all of the input. The one thing I like in the 6.4 over the 5.7, is the MDS. It's not offered on the 5.7 in a 3/4, but is on the 6.4. Some like it, some don't, but it does help in the MPG department. My main load is a 7200lb gooseneck horse trailer. Fully loaded I'm right around...

    Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi?

    Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi?

    Well, I've been driving it since last night and have to say that I'm kinda impressed with this gasser. I've done a mix of city/highway and the evic is showing 13.5. The ride is nice with the new suspension (coils all 4 corners) for a HD. Great power (still not diesel power) and pickup. The ride...

    Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi?

    I'm heading down to test drive one this afternoon. What did you not like about it?

    Ram 2500 6.4L Hemi?

    Anyone here own one of the 2014 Ram 2500's with the 6.4L Hemi? Thinking about trading the diesel on one and curious on daily MPG. With the price of diesel over $1 more per gallon than gasoline and diesel maintenance costs, a gasser is getting tempting.

    Sportfire Facelift

    Thanks. A SBC with juice in this hull would the most fun a person could have with their clothes on! Haha Hoping the stock powertrain holds out this year while I decide what to do with it next winter.

    Sportfire Facelift

    You'd be correct... scuff and clear.

    Sportfire Facelift

    The Sportfire has been in the shop for a facelift. I pulled all of the hardware off of the deck & pulled the interior. The deck was a little past its prime so it went to Kustom Kolors in Marion. I'm pumped to get it back and get new hardware ordered. This is after the first coat of clear.
