Well..I'm back..

After an 1989 W200 Cummins followed by a 1992 W200 Cummins, I decided to go to something newer. 2004 1500 that got 8 miles to the gallon to a 2005 3500 dually Cummins to a 2007 1500. The newer trucks got progressively cheaper in quality and progressively more expensive in price. Junk. Long story short, i've been keeping my eye out for a good 1st gen Cummins. After a year I came across a 1993 W200 LE in near mint shape. Finally driving a real truck again. Good to be back!

I think it's the gasser version of a W250, but not 100% on that. Although Krusty is saying he's had all Cummins powered, so beats me.

nope, the trucks before 1980 were W/D 100/200/300 etc. They added the "50" after that.

LOL wow OUCH!

You really beat the odds on that one!

Honestly though I think a college degree today is what a high school diploma was 50+ years ago - even education is experiencing inflation!!
