If your original stuff is still in good shape, clean it up, paint it, and keep it. Everything new is chinese garbage. Even Moog isn't what it once was. Might be a good idea to determine what is bad and needs replaced, and try to find NOS on eBay. Much better quality than what you can get today.

Here's a link to the Moog website for these trucks (I'm guessing the '93 D250 in your signature?). It will have all of the various steering and suspension components. If you have a Cummins truck, you have the 4,000# front axle...

A topside creeper makes things much, much easier. If you are still able to climb up onto it. I absolutely LOVE mine. I have this one https://www.summitracing.com/parts/txn-3-200?srsltid=AfmBOor5JIltAeHahJoRIwVAB4ahro8UzYg6b2AUiZTCGNc44SO49Lte044

The guy who makes them is a member of this group on facebook, if you have any questions with the install. But it's pretty straightforward. https://www.facebook.com/groups/firstgendodgerams Dave Downing is his name.

Not sure about restoring it, but I know that anything you buy today will be chinese junk lol. Try www.keeprtuned.com . He parts these trucks out. Send him an email on the contacts page if you don't see one on the website. He will most likely have a switch. Satisfied customer here.

If you haven't done it yet, don't get the parts store bushings. This guy 3D prints a vastly superior linkage coupling system. https://jdg3d.com/products/wiper-arm-bushings The cowl may be a bit stubborn, if your windshield gasket is really stiff. But once you remove the screws/bolts that...

Thanks, I reached out to them. Do you have any of their mechanical gauges in your truck?

Good afternoon everyone. I'm having some trouble finding mechanical gauges. Lots of websites don't specify, or only carry 1 or 2 of the gauges I need in mechanical form. Anyone know where I can get a matching set of 2-1/16" black face white letter 100% mechanical gauges for fuel pressure...

Yup, that's it. I found a writeup in one of the first gen groups on facebook about how to put the high position on a relay while retaining stock appearance and functionality. Looks like I might be doing that. Hopefully I can salvage my original switch, but thank you for the link to that one.

That seems to be the answer I'm getting everywhere else lol. I know on squarebody Chevy/GMC trucks, the blower switch itself goes bad, just assumed that was the problem here too. Hopefully it's just crud stuck in there. I'm just dreading pulling the dash out again. Wanted to make sure there...

Do you really need an excuse to keep it? Just drive it and enjoy it. You can get collector car insurance on it for next to nothing. They're cheap to maintain and cheap to run. Take less oil than a modern diesel, get better fuel economy than a modern diesel, and less things to go wrong that a...

Good afternoon everyone, and happy friday! Quick question about the Heat/AC blower switch. Here lately, when I have the blower in high, it will sometimes just stop. If I move the switch down slightly, not quite to the next detent, it'll start blowing again. The 3 positions below high all...

Diesel doesn't really go bad like gas, although it can get algea in it. But if it's only 2 years old, it'll probably be fine, as long as there wasn't an issue with water in the fuel when it was parked. The owners manual for my '93 calls for an 1,100 CCA battery. You will likely need to...

You could get a FSM and see what the correct ohm range should be for the gauge. Or just try buying a used one on ebay, or try getting one from www.keeprtuned.com If he doesn't have the gauge you need on his website, just send him an email. The address is in the contact page on his site. He...

Interesting. I'd have never even thought about a fan clutch being a problem. Good to know!
