Maybe so, but you'd better keep her on the asphalt, but if you don't, give me a call and I'll yank her out for ya Mark P.S. Life is a marathon not a sprint, unfortunately, I didn't learn that until recently ...Mark

Its not supposed to. Supposed to say "RAM 250"

The "Power" over top of the RAM 250 means its a 91-93 4x4 emblem

My Super LE has a vinyl seat. When dad ordered the truck he wanted A/C, cruise, and a cassette deck but it was cheaper to go LE than to order those options individually on a Base Truck. He wanted a seat he could clean however, so he had them downgrade the cloth to vinyl. I have no doubt one could have done the same thing with the electric windows and locks.

It's the gearing in the windows regulators and not the electric motors. The windows in my 1969 Dodge van (manual crank) went up and down amazingly fast while the windows in my 1973 BMW 2002 (manual crank) took forever to get up and down. I actually prefer the faster gearing in the regulators.

If your '90 is the one in your signature, the W250, it's supposed to say "Power Ram".
