Back after a long time.

Hello to everyone here at TDR. I am thankful to be back here after selling my previous 2004 Ram and a 10 year absence. I have recently purchased a 1993 D250 Clubcab Automatic and am looking forward to reading up, learning and talking with you fine folk's here on this site.

Well, that will keep you busy. Locally there are a few really nice restored first gen dually's. We had a 93 gasser, hard to find parts these days. Sold it to my cousin, its still around.

I've been researching repairs on my old beasties, lately. I put my 95 back on the road after sitting for a few years, glad I didn't sell it. It needed ball joints bad, so I parked it for a while and drove the 2003, now the 1995 dually is in better shape. The old 12 valve runs good, I've been towing heavy with the old truck and doing short hauls with the 03 to keep the fluids churning. Love the old trucks though, I like the 12 valve instant torque pull off idle.

SSage, glad to hear you got the 95 back on the road.
I'm currently gathering parts to do a full maintenance, ie; thermostat, water pump, hoses, belt, rad cap, valve adjustment, fuel sending unit float and check static timing. The regular maintenance stuff I can handle but, I am having to read and learn on how to do the timing. Like you mentioned in your post, parts are kind of hard to find. Oh well, maybe I can keep it going several years.
