Might be coming back to 1st gens. Couple ?'s

Hey all,

Well been away on the 2nd gen forum for awhile now, but I may be coming back here.

I have a really nice 4 door 98 but only problem is its 2wd and I really need 4wd. BTW it is for sale!

Found a really nice 93 dually with low miles on it. I had a 93 dually before but that had a auto whereas this has the 5spd. Supposedly the trans was rebuilt 10k miles ago for unknown reason. The pumped has been turned up a bit and all in all the only thing she needs is tires.

What are the first gen weaknesses again? If any? I remember the trans was an issue but all in all that was it right?

In advance thanks for any help.

Pete
