I used to be on this forum , I owned a 1993 cummins with very low kilometers and a very ugly body
I now own a solid lifted Jeep YJ 4 cyl
and someone wants to trade me a 1st gen cummins , lifted , converted to 5 spd , has winch ,36.5 tires , and it looks solid all around besides the box wheel wells are cut out , probably ad rust or somethin , but i am so down for this trade i miss my dodge sooo much i cant believe I got rid of it , BEST TRUCKS EVER....ive owned about 6 vehicles since the dodge and i can say out of every diesel truck ive owned the 1st gen was the most pleasurable to own , even starting it up in the morning was an awesome feeling , seeing that big black cloud of smoke come out and listening to the turbo spool , i love 1st gens

 

Nothing in the world like a 1 st gen.

 

Once a 1st gen gets in your blood, it never goes away. Sounds to me like you already know what you're going to do.

I have (IMHO) a very sweet 07', modded to the 9's, prolly making 400hp, and the 1st gen is still my favorite.
