New to the Dodge world!!
Hey guys, I come from the Toyota Rockcrawling world. I just picked up my first diesel two weeks ago, Finally. Its a 1993 W250 SE. I bought it from the origanal owner with 280K but the truck is VERY clean and the interior is damn near mint, Everything works including the power mirrors and O/D switch, Somthing im not used to!!! My last tow rig was a 89 Ford 250 with the 460, Lets just say the reliability wasnt there and parts liked to fall off. The Dodge is from Oragen, and is completely rust free besides for a little on top of the drivers side fender. My plan is turn this thing into a off-road recovery vehical. Ill be ordering some Recentered H1 beadlock wheels, Goodyear military surplus 37s, installing the BDS 5 inch kit and installing 4.10s with detroits in both ends in the truck, and converting to a manual trans. Aswell as fabing up wich bumper for the front and a more heavy duty bumper in the rear, Im not afraid to ram things BTW lol. Anyways, this is my old set up, I dont have Pics of the New truck yet, Maybe tomarrow.

:tu:I recommend the NV4500 with a fith-gear nut update. This is a common choice and a common fix, but as you're new to the dodge diesel world, I thought I would stop by and give you that little bit incase nobody else has yet. its a good tranny, and its cheap to rebuild if you're too ah "free spirited" for it lol. google high impact transmission and the website with the full conversion kit will come up!:tu:

Nice truck. Shame to tear it up in to a tow vehicle, but to each his own I guess. :w2: Good luck with your build. :pca1:
|
Isnt that what there made for? Cummins diesel, 1-ton drive train....Hmmmm sounds like a good tow rig to me.

sexy truck man good score

high impact builds all kinds of drive train components, and can even build a custom piece specifically for your application. If you're looking for something like a ten speed, I would personally go with an Eaton.
