My dad and I just got a 90 250LE Cummins Ram with the auto. It has a few problems, but the body is in A-1 shape (I hate body work). There are a few leaks, but this one is going to stay mostly stock for longevity, except for some gearing work for better highway cruising. It's our first diesel pickup, but the 220,000 miles doesn't bother us, the 4B in our dozer has over 10,000 hours on the clock, and we recently had to work on the injectors, thanks to ULSD, and it took a cam early in its life, due to too low an idle RPM. That is the only work it has had.

Welcome neighbor to the South!

If you are from Northeast, you know where I work. The boss just built a new place there along the interstate.

megacabdad

Roberts?

NE frmhnd

yeah. They bribed me into taking a load that will let me sit all weekend by promising me I would be home on Thanksgiving.

megacabdad

Sorry to hear that, man.

I live about 2 miles from there, at the top of the hill, South.

So you would be between the gold course and, shoot I can't think of their names, with the auction company. I live about 2 miles from the old Cussewago schoolhouse, if you know where that is.

megacabdad

Chesley, yes.

I know where that's at, I go to Meadville quite often for work and will take the back roads home most of the time.

I graduated from Cambridge in 99. I guess it's really gone downhill since then. About five years ago I spent a good part of the summer hauling 2x2x6 concrete blocks from Austin Concrete to a guy in Meadville, 10 at a time with the old Brigadiere. Hauled over 200 to him, most days I could only get two trips in. 6-71T with a 60 MPH top speed downhill with a tailwind still got nearly 7MPG. I miss that old truck.

We used to farm the ground across the blacktop from the schoolhouse.

Welcome to DTR!!

I got laid off just over a year ago from a company that was in Saegertown!

NE frmhnd

There isn't much left in the area. GE has laid off a bunch of people. A third or maybe more of the trucks based in the Erie area are parked. Things is slow.
