I liked the sound of mine. The VE and P-Pumps don't sound exactly the same straight piped. The VE just sounds, more rugged, and slow. But the slow part can be addressed. I miss mine -

I love arriving at work with coffee down my tee shirt from the rough ride, I love how it lites up with the first turn of the key, no matter what the temperature is outside, I love how I can fix it myself, no electronics, I love the mileage, I get 28 mpg on the hi-way (cdn gallon 4.55 liters) I like the "BEEFY" aerodynamics of the front end, as aerodynamic as a brick wall, I love the NP205 bullet proof cast iron "hernia" giving transfer case, however, when I sit in my wifes GMC Sierra, I sure enjoy the smooth ride and how quiet it is. But as I am getting older, my 91 is getting quieter, I now have 319,000 kilometers on her now, and it is starting to show it's age, but all it needs is a new paint job and some work done to the bench seat. It'll probably outlast me. -

I like how they look like a leftover relic from the 70's and the how they are hard to find in great shape, the rarity factor. There's a bazillion 3rd gens and half a million 2nd gens running around in my town. -

I like mine 'cause it was cheap and it's paid for; not near as nice as the 2nd gen I had, though.
it's a tough, rugged beast of a work truck. mine is called the Mexican Mtn Goat. the front leaf springs are, growing, on me. I can certainly relate to the coffee on the shirt reference, too! -

greasemonkey's Sig:93 w250 club cab, NV4500 flatbed/gn, mild pump, STUDS, ATS manifold, 14-wg, 305 Nitto TG A/T's. yet to install: stack, 4" exhaust, injectors, pwrstroke intercooler, HTB2...this list never ends, does it?! I have this condition, where I perceive OEM parts as 'broken' and in need of aftermarket replacement.

I love the overdrive and 3.07 rear end, and the lack of a speedometer, that makes me have to guesstimate speed based on RPM, and how I finally get a GPS speedometer and realize while I'm cruising down the road at 2600 RPM that 2500 RPM is 100 miles an hour.

I love how Dodge hadn't figured out the concept of "relays" yet when they built the first gens. Oh, wait, that one sucks.

I love the ability to squat on the frame rail on either side of the engine while making repairs.

I love talking to my wet, overheating and desperate-for-more truck like it's the sadomasochistical dirty woman I will never have.

I love taking out the air-side engine compartment splash shield so that the glowing-red manifold illuminates the night-time track on the way down.

I love how good four 6x9's and a sub sound in a regular cab.

I love the weak frame that flexs like a cobra when it's on the dyno. Oh no, wait, that one sucks.

VENT WINDOWS.

I love how my truck starts on the first crank.

I love how my engine has one wire required for it to work right, on a toggle switch, and my tranny has one wire for it to work right, on a toggle switch.

I love how shut-down cables and gutted fuel shut off solenoids make the cops completely unable to turn off your truck while you're handcuffed on the side of the road.

I love how worn tumblers make anybody else completely unable to start the truck unless they know the two-handed start trick.

I love the RWAL system. Oh, no, wait, I hate the RWAL system.

If every solid state electric component in my truck goes out when the Ruskies EMP us, I can start and drive anywhere without an alternator, gauges or water injection.

I love people inexplicably offering to buy my truck whenever it has been washed recently.

I love how the cops tail and harrass me whenever I'm in Norco, California, because they remember getting calls from concerned citizens about a red Dodge doing autodressage on city or private property over a year ago. No, actually that sucks.

That's right, the turbocharger is the only emissions device on the vehicle. Somehow Dodge got away with making a vehicle in 1990 that doesn't even have an evap system, PCV valve or catalytic converter.

I love the vent on the driver's side kick panel.

The dash really, really sucks compared to almost any other dash on the planet.

I love the rubber moulding on the quarter panels that is attached with 44 plastic pieces that cost $8 a piece.

I love the Ramcharger tank. -

Begle1's Sig:1990 D-250 Regular Cab: Full power screw; stout TC and A518 w/ manual valve body; ratchet shifter; piston LP; Ramcharger tank; manual off; computer-programmable 40 GPH water/meth fumigation; gauges

the part i love about my 1st gen is the fact that there are very few driving around in my area. vent windows are handy, And the two color paint job from the factory. They just don't paint trucks like they used to. And overall just the old school factor of the 1st gen really makes it worth it.
