Maybe the reason for the lack of posts to the FIRST GENERATION FORUM is that we can thank the 94-98 and the 24 valve guys for solving most of FIRST GENERATION trucks problems and then moving up to the newer version of a good thing. So let's thank those pioneers for living on the "bleeding edge of technologies".

I hate to disagree... We recently had a member's truck in our shop, with about 200K miles on it. Found that truck had run all those miles way outa time.

They didn't solve the problems, it's just that a few years ago, there wasn't any challengers to the 1st gen rams for pulling power. Took until '94 with the fact turbo ford to come close.

However, the 1st gen trucks are finally reaching the price range that folks like me can afford them, and folks like me don't buy subscriptions to sites like this and spend thousands of dollars on old trucks...

Did I just say that... ?? Hmmm...

hmmmm

I hear my mother calling...

I can't speak for the other guys but I've been just a bit busy with my new son! I just got back on yesterday to send out the pics. I agree with Power Wagon's perspective. I am paying dearly for my '92 and I got a decent deal on it. In 2 more years it will be mine, and I know I will have a stout truck when that comes! (where's the wood?)

Hmmmm, Power Wagon, I bought my truck about 2 years ago just to see if I would like a diesel engine. I didn't want to spend the really big bucks until I tried it out. Was going to buy a new one if it worked out ok. Well, I tried it and I like it!!!!
Will never go back to gas and after seeing some of the posts on the new trucks, I may just keep this old rough riding power house. I smile everytime I hook onto my trailer and take off.

Notice to the humor impaired: My Power Wagon cost me 600 bucks and I dragged it out of a field with a tractor. It has a rebuilt engine, new starter, alternator, clutch, brakes, bearings, seals, driveshafts, ujoints and a ton of other stuff...

I've put thousands into it and it's nowhere near done yet #ad


BTW, paccool, there's no need to suffer with a bad ride. Here's roughly what you have to do: Raise the truck 1. 5 - 2 inches. Use spring arch to do this, NOT spacers. Reduce the front spring rates mildly. Use shocks that are quite stiff, that dampen very well both up and down - like a KYB Gas-A-Just.

You can soften the rear a bit if you don't need the capacity. Normally, the old trucks had so little travel before they hit the bump stops that it pounded them all the time. Raising the truck by arching the springs gives you a bunch more travel, reducing it's very agressive bounce on rough surfaces.

paccool, are you hooked up with the Windsor chaptor? Gale is the contact up there, I recommend him highly. My club was at Cummins West on Saturday and it appears that you all have enough folks up your way to get your own ball rolling. Check out "Wolf Eyes" post in the regional chaptors forum. You are welcome to come down to the Ram Runners meetings anytime. Tomorrow is the date for this month. Send me an email so I can help hook you up.

I don't know about every one else, but my old url under my favorites list doesn't pick up the site. I had to go to Jannety's site to get on. . Maybe that's the reason.

I'm sure that POWER WAGON is close to the reason for the low post count. I looked into buying a new truck and after looking at the cost I thought "Hay for this numbeer I can find a good used truck and still have enough left over for a real nice enclosed trailer for my race car. " It's not like the Cummins is going to wear out anytime soon like a gas engine,and I don't mind the few repairs that may come along. I'm looking forward to a new paint job this summer and some 215 injecters soon after. My 92 has a lot of good miles left in her and she pulls better than any gas truck I'v ever owned even at the relativly low power compared to newer trucks and the fuel milage is incredable. I'v learned a lot from this site and my membership is a drop in the bucket for the value. More 1st gen owners will come along and they will ask the same questions over again,but that's OK. I'm sure we'll patiently pass on the info and welcome them into the fold just as the present members were welcomed.
I think the 2nd gen guys are seeing the maturing of their trucks and will see a slow decline in posts over time, then they will move up to the newer trucks and look back to that forum as they do to our forum now. The world keeps on turning,Doesn't it? I a few years I'll probable go looking for a nice 97' and it will all start over again. I'm rambeling. Later

I have not payed any attention to this part of roundtable, as I am now investigating buying 2001 or 2002 sorry about that. I did write a couple of articles for the TDR though on my 92. Will try to pay more attention to this part of net in future, but is difficult as I must use others PC's.

Hey First Gen'ers!

I too have noted the lack of postings & comradery in our forum lately! I remember when I signed on as a member back in January that there seemed to be a running dialogue of tips, help, opinions/advice, and encouragement for our trucks.

I challange us once again to have fun with our trucks, support each other, provide tips & suggestions regardless of how many times the question has been asked. I too fell off the TDR wagon a bit during the server restructuring but now I'm back in full force.
Let's enjoy the unique appeal of our Rectangular Dodge's!

I can't think of another vehicle I would rather be driving! My girlfriend would second this (E)motion because she just purchased a '92 W250 over the weekend.
