Ahh, ok. Didn't read the whole thread so maybe I missed something. Good to see positive feedback on the Redhead box, I'm planning on adding one for my new-to-me '93 Dodge 250.

What are you trying to show in that second video? What was the difference after you added the RedHead steering gear?

Great job on that interior!

I'm definitely wasting fuel. My EGT's seem to be ok. Thankfully someone installed a tach., pyrometer, manifold pressure, and oil temp. gauges on the dash. EGT's stay between 200-300F around town. My research says that is normal, thankfully. I think I can do the swap on my own. The videos...

Great to hear! Sounds like Redhead is the solution. As for the injectors, this is a monkey wrench. I have little cash for this truck for the next few months and was hoping to use what I have to sort some of the steering and suspension. May be best to sort out the fuel issue so I'm not...

It's really not that bad, even with the busted front suspension. My 85 Toyota PU with the solid front axle and all good suspension bits was far worse. Maybe it's the benefit of having a 1,000# motor up there dampening things :)

Thanks Jack. Two owners ago did have a larger turbo installed along with the 250HP injectors and I am wondering if that combo worked fine, but now that the PO switched back to the stock turbo, that pairing isn't working out as well. I have an inquiry into Oregon Fuel Injection to pick their...

By driveline, I'm guessing you're referring to replacing the injectors with stock units? It's just not in the budget considering the suspension work I knew needed work. Have you owned Redhead products? Their customer service so far has been awesome and they're local so I can drive to their...

...aka The Family Truckster, aka Clark Griswold) Since I actually bought this thing, figured I'd start my first ever "build" thread. In reality, this will be where I show off my painfully slow and incremental replacement of all its broken bits and its upgrades as I work towards getting this...

Sporting the family truckster styling with this thing. Found out my front bumper has little wings for storage! And it fits into compact parking spaces? Also, changed my air filter today. Photos for comparison with the new filter. The old one was heavily caked in some sort of thick...

My new, to me, 1993 Dodge 250 12-valve Cummins beast. Gonna take me a couple years to get it to where I'd like it to be in order to get a camper and do some traveling, but I'm pretty excited about it. The interior is huge and the truck is just beat up enough that I'm not worried about...

No snowflake = no deal for me in the PNW. I run the current edition of the BFG AT's on my Tacoma and I love them for that application. I'm gonna need new shoes on my new Dodge 250 in about a year and I've been heavily looking at the Cooper's based on others reports that I've read on here...

So far I'm loving driving the truck. Finding a few more things here and there that'll need attention one day - the ashtray has a broken mount, the grille is either broken or needs clips on the passenger side. But, I discovered today that it has power mirrors, and they work! It's weird, but I...

Yeah, that body is rough. Looks like the drivers door is pretty much gone. And it's the base version, so yeah, $5500 is too much.

I'd like your front suspension though. Mine isn't terrible and should ge better once I make some repairs and upgrades. If he's selling it, that truck with 80k could fetch a very good price where I live, depending on current condition of course.

Bought myself a 1993 Dodge 250 Diesel. No more hunting for an idi. Thanks for all the input and info ya'll.

Well, for better or worse, this beast came home with me today. Needs work, smells a bit musty inside, but the price worked out. I told the seller I'd have to think about his price and about 30 minutes later he texted me that he'd lower his price more. That price just happened to be what my...

Funny you mention that. In the past I definitely had considered that combo. The long-term plan is to add a TC to the truck and travel, so I would be a bit worried about that motor handling the weight of a camper and being able to traverse the PNW mountain roads at something other than a snails...

That's what the diesel shops were telling me. They're seeing a lot of folks buying up the older ones and/or getting rid of newer trucks and switching back to older trucks. True, can't argue. After looking at g vs d I decided I definitely wanted the diesel motor. I know there's drawback, but...

Not sure what non-lockup is. I would love a 94-95, but like you said, prices get higher fast. That coil suspension sure would be nice though.
