Good day all,
My name is Marvin and I own a 1993 D-250 1st Generation Cummins Truck. I inherited it from my father who used it to pull his 30ft. Jayco 5th wheel trailer. He would travel in the summers to get away from the Arizona heat. The truck has a 5spd transmission. it needs a paint job and some other work, but it runs and pulls good. I live in Yuma Arizona. I am a truck driver and highway worker by trade. I have always been a Dodge and Ford fan, mainly because I have no luck with Chevy's. I have had a little luck with GMC's but like with skinny women it has been few and far between. I have been happily married for 10 years, and see no end in sight there. My father was a truck driver and he taught me how to drive also. He drove in the 50's through the 80's when he retired. He was my source of information for cars, trucks. He is gone now and so I am hoping that I can use this forum to help me work on this truck. Any and all information will be most appreciated. I apologize for being long winded. You all have a nice safe day.

Welcome to Diesel Bombers
 

Welcome aboard.

You mentioned you were looking for information regarding your Dodge Cummins. To help you regarding maintenance and helpful information about your truck, I would recommend you check out 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 Dodge Cummins Guide.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the information, and the greeting. Any and all information will be helpful.
