-It starts first crank
-it pulls like a monster
-5spd and 21mpg in town
-will smoke ricers all over town, funny how pissed those guys get when they're beat by an old farm truck with no money in modifications on it
-gets runs better, gets better mpg, will out run, out tow, looks better and was $10,000 cheaper than my dads 96 dodge cummins :P
i pretty much love everything about it

I love the fact that after driving my freightliner all week I still prefer jumping in my 93w250 over my 07 hemi
I love that now that is not my daily driver I can build my dream truck more lift and bigger tires
I love blowing black smoke espesially on my crazy neighbor when shes mowing the ditch in front of her house
Its paid for has been for years

HaHa love the podunk, everyone knows when i leave my house, if i have been drinking 
. I just wish there were more people around my parts that were on here. And i laugh at all those people with their chipped up new rides and when all the smoke settles mine is still running and theirs is in limp mode hahaha.

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.
