Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I have waited long enough to join since I acquired my 1990 W250. I talked my father-in-law into buying the Cummins/Dodge when they first began to come out not knowing I would become the owner 11 years later (I know 1989 was the first year). He was going to trade it in on a 1/2 ton Dodge 4x4 - dealership offered him $1500 - told him I could do better than that and ended up with the truck. Some of the items he had added: custom made heavy duty front bumper , warn winch, truck cap, air shocks in the rear - everything he put on was heavy duty. I recently had the Getrag rebuilt (Barton's Trans. , Mabank, TX. Parts from Std. Trans. , Ft. Worth- great job/reasonable $) and new paint job. Updates to come include the Borgensen steering shaft - just need time to install and a little AC work. I could elaborate on the ability of this truck but it really would be long post - my hunting buddy calls it the Beast!
I have enjoyed this forum for truck repairs/improvements and figured it was time to pay up. I now own three Dodge trucks: 1990 W250, 1998 1/2 ton 5. 2L Quad, 2002 1/2 Crew Cab 4. 7 - and cannot say bad about any of them.
