Finally! I have one...
I posted a thread not too long ago about possibly having a 1st gen bought but it fell through.
This one didn't!!!
My first 1st Gen:
1993 xcab Auto LE
I'm so excited.
Its like i'm a little kid getting exactly what he asked for for christmas.
Getting to know you guys and modding this bad boy out will be a pleasure.
207,000 miles and I'm sure its just getting warmed up. This thing is amazing. Everything electrical works except the cruise control. Minor surface rust on cab roof but thats it! Drove it 400 miles back home and I got 17.8 MPG.
Everything seems to be completely stock still. The "tamper proof" caps on the pump for turning up fuel and smoke are gone but it doesn't seem turned up. Anyway to know? Other than that nothing.
My main goal with this is to increase mpg and keep her in this condition for a few years and then tear into her and make her new!

Nice First Truck (1st gen Cummins)
Congrats, Bruce!
Wow, what a clean truck. May I suggest a resouce that you may find helpful in learning more about maintaining your truck, and future upgrades. Check it out, and see what you think. Best of all; the resource is free. Glad to hear about your new truck. Can't go wrong with that Classic Cummins, nice!

Turbo Diesel Registry – TDR
Since the late 90s TDR has compiled information on the Dodge/Cummins Turbo Diesel truck. Each year TDR updates the book. The TDR calls their manual the Turbo Diesel Buyers Guide which is free to down load, and the Buyers Guide allows you to do topic or word searches to help guide you to information and answers quickly.
Over the years there have been many changes to the Dodge truck and Cummins engine. For detailed information, I would suggest that you download the 300+ page PDF file “Turbo Diesel Buyers Guide” from the Turbo Diesel Register website (Turbo Diesel Register). Keep in mind that the information in TDR is written by Cummins parts and tech service personnel.
In this document you will find that they give you a concise answer to each question and often referenced detailed (often four to six page articles) where you can get more information. I think you’ll find the TDR answers and references helpful in this Buyers Guide. I did.
Hope this helps.
