I'm wrestling with the same decision too. I've had my 93 W350 5 speed for over 1 1/2 years now and really like it, but I had 2 different 2nd gen gasser trucks prior to it and really do miss the rommier interior and nicer ride. The 1st gen trucks are tough, but are 100% utility and that's about all. I think the 2nd gen trucks are tough also, but are a little more refined. I do like the lockouts, large engine bay, and NP205 transfer case of the 1st gen trucks. But the P7100 pump, NV4500 and rommier interior are key points that the 2nd gen trucks have. I guess it's all what you really want the truck for. I've had some 2nd thoughts on selling mine, but my wife lets me know how rough it rides every time we go somewhere, and how she really would like a quad cab, so I've got to compromise and look for a truck she's happy with too. I'm looking for the "elusive" 98 QC 3500 4x4, 5speed dually. So far I found an auto, but no 5 speed. But I won't compromise, so I'm just waiting. I'd also like to keep the 93, but too much $ to keep it and buy a newer one. Need the $ for downpayment on a newer one. Hope I don't kick myself some day for doing it.
