You mean the only truck???

I have a w 350 4x4 dually with 149,000 had the getrag redon and she runs like a charm. Put 1,000 + miles on it last week and diddent miss a lick. I am hoping for a million miles out of it. And loving every minute of it.

Hi pastor, I must confess I have an 89 auto. and I,m having trouble with the front brakes. Cant find the correct rotors or bearings, help. numbers and names of suppliers. This truck starts instantly but will not accelorate past idle until it warms up some any ideas? Also a 93 250 auto, and a 2002 250 auto all in different states. I read many posts on different forums and I always enjoy reading the entire 1gen. It,s The knowledge tube for me.

I've got the '92 D350, also had an '89 W250 last winter, sold it and still kicking myself.

Guilty (I think)

Running a 1st Gen, but I am not currently driving due to the sloppy slush on our streets. I want to keep and drive it fore-ever

Wow, were did you find this old topic?? I had to go through and make sure I hadn't already voted I've got two first gens, and have no plans to switch out either one of them. Sounds like the wife would like a quad cab, so I guess eventually we'll have a p-pump or overvalver. Can't talk here into a crew cab conversion. :{

Almost stock 1993

Hello -



This is my first post to the TDR boards.



I have a 1993 W350 SRW 5-speed that I ordered and received in March 1993. I recently had it painted, put a new front grill into it, new rear bumper, and new windshield. It looks like new again ... 142K miles with no problems, not even a brake job yet!



The only modifications that I've made to the truck include a lubricatable steering box slip/universal joint, and added one leaf to the front spring pack to level the truck and to provide more support to the front mainleaf.



Dave.

i got my '91 back in nov. of '02 when i was 17 with 244,000 miles on it for $1500 and im 20 now with bout 325-350,000 on it now and i have looked at newer ('94-'02) but then i think why would i sell one of the best runnin trucks ever made for a newer one? dont get me wrong i would love to get a newer 12v or 24v cuz i get to drive the boss' '98 12v 1ton but i really like my old 1st gen better and mine is not stock like his '98. and he also has a '04 HO 1ton that is vary nice but its just not the same.

 

[Idually]
