I've seen this '90 W250 for sale in various places around town. The other day I darn near ran into it and noticed DIESEL and $4000 OBO written in white on the shell window. So, I stopped and checked it out. It has 213K, peeling black repaint with lotsa leftside bodywork, a hideoously ugly seatcover, but not too bad for the money.<br>I tell the missus about my fantastic find and how it would make a great plow truck ( we moved out of snow country), firewood hauler, lumber hauler, topsoil hauler, take the dog down to the river when my truck's at work hauler - she won't buy any of that. <br>She did say I can sell my Scout project if I have to have the truck - She's a hard, hard woman. :'( I call her my &quot;accountant&quot;, she keeps me in line with a roof over our heads!<br>If owning more than one Scouts is called &quot;having MS&quot;(multiple Scouts), what's it called having more than one CTD Dodge?<br><br>Bye, Chris

I should be able to work this to my advantage. <br>Because of my great restraint in not purchasing this great find, I should be able to get some new injectors and 4&quot; exhaust - after all, look at all the money I saved! <br>Yah right! I tell you she is one tough woman.<br>Chris

i just bought the one i was telling ya about. i picked it up yesterday!! its great 5 trucks and counting!!!

Hey Bricks,<br> I got a woman the same way, and if it where not for her, I wouldn't have pot to pee in or window to throw it out of, sounds like you found a good one and I don't mean truck. Make momma happy and listen to her, just do the bombing as things &quot;BREAK&quot;. Ya know, &quot;Dang Baby, the truck won't run very good, I bet the injectors are stopping up, I SURE hope it doesn't get any worse&quot;. Or maybe just bite the bullet and say &quot;BABY PLEASE&quot;.

440, so what's it called when you have many CTD and other Dodges? I've had a few; '67 Dart GT, '69 W100, '76 W100, '78 W200 CC 440, my '93 CTD, and the missus '98 Grande Caravan AWD - but not all at the same time.<br><br>PumpDaddy, I hear you and agree I've been blessed. Now, when it comes time to lug that '26 travel trailer she had to have, then maybe she'll understand the need for more power! I'll be gentle tho when telling her why the kids had to get out and push!<br>Chris

PumpDaddy

Dang Brick, You must have a Good One if she wants the 26 ft. trailer, Mine doesn't have a problem with me bombing and upgrading things. It's the note knocks on the trailer I want that makes her squirm. We try to go to the gulf at least once a month and fish ( really feed the fish) so the payments would offset the hotel and camp site bills. I don't know, done tried to figure out how a woman thinks, everytime I think I have, they change their way of thinking......Should have listened to my Daddy......

bigredbrick i dont know what u call it maybe a junk yard or a gold mine depends how u think? well like i said i have 5 truck now thats nothing!! my old man puts me to shame! he said 6 trucks 4 mopars in the barn 3 tractors a dozer moms jeep. 3 truck frames that we've junked out 74 new yoker, 7-8 440 engines and countless parts to alot of stuff! dedicated mopar men!!

Wants the 26 footer? We've got it and what a &quot;deal&quot; it was. : It just needed a &quot;little&quot; work. Floor in back was a little soft, so just screw some plywood over it - yah right - there was nothing to screw it to because of all the dryrot! So I replaced the back 5' of floor. :'( It is turning out pretty nice, but I didn't need all that work. I seem to attract &quot;projects&quot; like manure attracts flies.
440, I wish I had yanked the 440 and tranny out of the '78 for my '76 Scout (PROJECT!!!!).

Enuf, Chris

bigredbrick

7 or 8?! You'd think he could part with 1 or 2, for his SON <br>Kinda gettin off the subject of diesels, might get moderated! <br>bye, Chris

bigredbrick,<br>Most anybody into Scouts has MS - comes with the territory. <br><br>My &quot;financial assistant&quot; actually let me buy a 53 IH R-112 in great shape and ain't said no (yet) to the little 16' boat down the street looking for some TLC and another home. I reckon she figures I can afford it.<br><br>Now if she would just let me afford a new set of injectors.......

bigredbrick

Ahhh yes, big nozzles, 4&quot; Rip's exhaust, Old Smoky mount and a Borgeson to fix my steering problem! ;D ;D<br>Then I'll be happy!! for a little while :
