Dave from Ohio

hey guys,
been lurking her for a while, been signed up on the Dodge Cummins forum.
My mechanical genius Uncle Jim passed away May 2015 and left me his 91.5 W250. I'm a long time mopar nut, had old D and W series Dodges, but this is my first diesel. Jim never worried about how something looked, but it was going to run like new. I've been tackling some of the trucks issues since I got it, but as always more to do. The truck is bone stock as far as I know. 250,000 miles and going strong.

Dave's not here, man !



Welcome to the nuthouse. Lots of great info here. Search button works best, but if there's something you can't find, ask away..


Pics of the ride would be a bonus... along with any mods, specs or information on your signature ....... which relieves us of asking you at some other point...

"what's ya got ?"

still needs some metal work on the cab. I'm thinking of starting The Brotherhood of Multi-colored trucks, Thrashing Cows and I could be the charter members.

Me likey.....

My aunt and uncle are buried in / near Akron. If you feel the need to go out and drink in a graveyard, I'll give you their names, this way, you can spill a few on the ground for my Aunt and Uncle. They loved their booze...



Great to see you fixing er up....

Welcome to DTR!
That is a nice starting point for you to work on.
My daughter once said while working with me in the shop she wanted a Dodge truck with every panel a different color when she got old enough to own one.
I said we can build that.
I am running a nice teal tailgate on a otherwise white '91.0 right now.

She is several years away for driving anything on the road.
We have a few years still to build her a Dodge.
The '91 is mine.
