I don't even have my grid heater hooked up and it starts the same as it did in the dodge, when the heater was hooked up. I just keep mine plugged in if it's below 30.F. You should have a block heater, it's on the pass. side behind the oil filter. When you want to start building a little HP, check out the "stickys" at the top of this forum, big help, have fun

 

wheres the pictures at

 

They will be coming this weeked, she is not much to look at now. Give me a month and it will be unrecognizable!

 

good to see the starting pics tho

 

It def rough but i can fix it I was also wondering why is mine a w200 and all the other ones ive seen is a w250? The title even states w200

 

thats odd never seen or herd of a 200

 

It would involve a little fabricating, but a friend of mine plated his wing mirrors and installed third gen tow mirrors. It looked so clean, I'm about to do the same to mine!

 

A W200 is a gas powered truck, can't remember the years they were built from. It wasn't 'til '89 that they started putting the Cummins, or any diesel engine, in the Dodges. If yours is a W200, with a Cummins in it, make sure you've got upgraded suspension and brakes etc. The Cummins weighs a bunch more, and puts out a lot more torque than the gasser ever did. Hope your frame is straight! It's possible that someone in the vehicles' past took a W200 cab/body and dropped it on a D250 frame with all the running gear/engine/whatever already in place. The bodies didn't change from, like, '80 or something 'til '93 so most parts are interchangable.

I'll be doing this to mine sometime in the future.

 

I will check again, its probably a w250 but i thought i seem a 200 on the title.

 

The heater plug is located by the oil filter like timdale said. Its about the size of a quarter and you will see 3 small elec connections on the block. if the heater is there then you just need the cord. 15 bucks at most on line stores.
