Replacement Parts

Where is the best place to find trim parts for inside the cab? Just bought a 92 ram 250. I have never had a diesel and know zero about them. After reading several hours on this site, I'm wondering if I will be able to ever learn enough to properly take cae of the truck. Thanks for any help.

Welcome aboard Grass Cutter!

Probably (IMO) your best bet for interior replacement parts is your local junkyard. As far as I remember/know no one makes aftermarket trim parts. But someone else will probably come along shortly with a whole plethora of suppliers!

As far as taking care of the truck, this seems to be the DTR rundown of bombing.

1. Buy gauges, pyro and boost at minimum. And a pod or housing to store them in.

2. Read DTR stickies and posts on how to bomb your new first gen.

3. Go out and make loads of money.

4. Spend afforementioned money on 'bombs'

After that is done, and you've been through 6-8 divorces and bankruptcy filings, and numerous sled pulls and 1/4 mile passes, you'll just about be ready to retire and buy a 5'er and pull it all over God's green earth seeking happiness. Then and only then will you fit in with most of the lunatics around here!

Good luck my man!

P.S. Fill in your signature and let us know exactly what kinda truck you got. that'll help with future requests!
