Greetings. Does it get any better than this?
Greetings everyone.
I'm the new proud owner of a 1991 Dodge D350!
I'd been looking for months on and offline for a 1st generation dodge diesel, and had stubbled acrossed some serious beaters. Then, low and behold, an ad popped up on
craigslist with the most inconspicuous description and photos possible. With a serious
itching to get this truck situation resolved, I called the guy to setup a meeting. After
giving me a brief history on the truck he explained that the only thing wrong with it was
that the truck bedding needed to be replaced. That weekend I began the two hour drive
to see the truck, armed with a quote from a local lumber yard, and ready to haggle
. As
soon as I got there and saw the truck I was ready to lay the money down. It was love at first sight.

It could'nt have gone any better. I'm researching everything available concerning
preformance upgrades. I bought the truck for work purposes, so I'm hesitant to do
any modifications at this point without a serious understanding of what I'm doing. After the holidays I'm going to begin my campaign with a set of gauges, boost and pyro. I'd prefer to keep all my guages on the pillar, so it was disheartening to learn that there's only a dual guage pod for my make and model. But I've read about stacking a dual pod on top of a single pod or visa versa.
Has anyone else had sucess with such a configuration?
I'm glad to have found a community of fellow enthusiasts!
