Welcome to the TDR! And that looks like a very nice 1 gen. Is it redone/ restored? I’m back East, so I can’t recommend anyone but I know there are a few members out that way. Are you having any issues with it? My first was a ‘92 W250 and I have fond memories of that one.

Welcome! That is a dandy 1st Gen you've got there.

Welcome to TDR, that is a nice looking 1st Gen, I'll keep an eye out for it here in Vegas. I can't personaly vouch for Diesel Specialist, but I have been in there when they sponsered May Madness. I had a personal conversation with the owner and I was impressed. I never had a need for them, and espeacily now that I sold my 07 C&C 3500, for my new 2019 3500 SRW HO.

The truck has 70 .000 original miles it has been repainted i had to have the rear main replaced after a long drive id get a softball size of oil on the ground also the front and rear output seals on the np205 had seepage so I replaced but now the darn headlight switch is acting up I replaced it but to no luck I'm thinking its the pigtail connector thanks again

TDR member MMier, has a nice 250 1st Gen, he is in the area as well. Give him a PM, if he doesn't respond I can get ahold of him for you, he does his own work for the most part.

That rear main seal leaking reminds me of my ‘92. I bought it off the original owner with 20,000 real babied city miles, and the rear main always seeped- one reason why he wanted to sell. Well I didn’t do anything about it for a long time and I took it on a hard n fast trip from NYC to Florida. Wouldn't you know that after that trip, it stopped leaking! I then declared the truck broken in.
If that truck was an extended cab, I’d probably still have it today.

Awesome truck you have there. I miss my 89 w250every day. One day I may have to find another.... One day..

I have heard a lot of not so nice things about the products from LMC truck especially on the Dodge side of things, but a head light relay system is not hard to do your self if your comfortable with basic wiring, I did mine with a few simple parts i got from amazon.
