The truck is just cooling down...and as promised..here are the details....93 D250 LE E/C Auto...trans rebuilt by National Trans in Calgary 40thou kms ago with HD torque converter...feels like a low stall...and a shift kit...4&quot; exhaust ( after the down pipe )...with chrome tip...man that is beautiful.....ISSPRO Pyro,Boost and unknown make trans temp gauge mounted in a triple pod on the dash above heater controls...K&amp;N filter...Bilstein shocks...aux trans cooler.. ( fan ) ...and some other goodies...truck was used to pull a small 1200lb sail boat and had an 8ft slide in camper...so no hard work at all....the drive up from Calgary was great...turned the radio down for the hills very small hills here in the flat lands...just to hear the turbo sing...there are a couple of minor things to sort out...but easy fixes...the cruise works intermittently...so will research that...<br>The truck was well taken care of ...I have receipts since new..it was a B.C. truck originally...the body is near perfect...the 2 previous owners were quite **** about maintenance....I have a Dyno sheet from after the exhaust work..and current oil sample reports which show the motor is in excellent shape...KDP has not been sorted out...the owner new nothing of it...only an older mechanic at the local Dodge dealership new anything about it...the parts guy brushed it off as kinda an urban myth....sorry for the long post...but am still wide awake if ya know what I mean...will keep in touch...
