A couple of thanks to the 1st Gen Gang!

I know that this belongs more in the "Conversion" forum but since it IS a 1st Gen in most respects, I thought I'd put a quick post about it here and say "THANKS" to YOU guys. For some time now(as some of you know), I have been putting the CTD Drive train from a 1991 W-250 into a 1989 Dodge Ramcharger. The wealth of knowledge here amazing and I appreciate it!

I FINALLY got to take her out for a spin this weekend. What a fun vehicle! Even better...The wife loves it too!

Good thing, considering it is her truck! Here is a pic. Not 100% complete, getting closer.

I plan on having' some fun with it too. I built a full 4" exhaust system from the turbo back, with a bit bigger turbo and intercooler setup in mind.

I'll be installing some guages real soon and completing the interior. Then I can "play" a little bit. I would like to have the pump rebuilt, install the 3200 gov spring and get some nice injectors.

Just want a nice "

Healthy

" ride to get over the mountains from Denver to Grand Junction on occasion.

Well thanks again for being here and willing to help. I truly appreciate it.
