OK I got to thinking .I know are trucks are old and simple but thats what I love about mine

 

Actually I liked my 1st one enough I did buy a second last summer.

 

I would get a newer Dodge.

If I decide to go overseas, I might buy an 05-07 RC and give my first gen to my Dad. Or, I might get an 89-90 RC and start over with that.

 

with all the smog laws coming down and to may computers on board I am keeping my 90

 

Exactly. They can't touch us. I kinda want an extended cab or a crew though. Only problem is it would be so much heavier, and I am really attached to my first gen cuz my dad bought it new when I was 2 years old. Guess I gotta have 2. lol

 

I love my first gen but with 2 kids I have to sell it Looks like im going to be driving a cummins ford crew cab shortly

 

I love my 1st gen cuz It used to be my grandpas and would always ride around with him in it when i was younger and worked with him, I fell in love with the truck then and my love for it has grown even more since i have it now.

 

I love my 1st gen because it was the only diesel I could afford.

Who wants to pay $40k+ for a truck? That's crazy talk!

 

id get somethin different in the aspect of im tired of workin on them and i want something with allitle less power, and more reliablity, ow wait, i should have just left it stock.

 

So thought the owners of the smokey diesel water pumps that were broadcast on 60 Minutes or what ever nation wide TV show that was originated in California. It didn't take long before all the old agricultural pumps that were required to meet newly adopted emissions regulations began to disappear. The key words in that show were "smokey" and "polluting" which caught the attention of the media and the wrong crowd with friends in the government. This attention in turn started the campaign to get rid of the old smokey polluting diesel engines and succeeded at all of the owners expense. I'm old enough to see that what starts in California is used as a test bed for the rest of the country. It CAN happen again!

Personally, my truck is a love & hate relationship. I love the truck but hate the engineered cost cutting measures that we are all paying for now.

 

Wow ya aint that so true! they can always make some ridiculous law to shut us down too.

 

I love my first gen but I might have to sell it before the end of the summer because of money. I am planning to go to university and I won't be able to afford to go without selling the truck unless a miracle happens.

 

maybe sell it to someone you know and buy it back later? but then again miracles happen everyday

 

better go buy some lotto tickets!
but seriously man, you gotta figure somethin out, we can't lose any more 1st gen brothers!

 

I love my truck because people with newer diesels under estimate it. The other night some guy in a dmax truck was laughing when I inched up on him at a red light then when it turned green I whipped him. He wasnt laughing anymore at the next light haha. Oh yea and the occasional ricer kill too.
