Yet another new 1st gen member.

Hello all,

I've been lurking for nearly a year, even before I bought my "Big Blue '93". My brother affectionatly calls it my "BUD, big ugly Dodge". I was actually looking for an early 2nd gen but couldn't wait around for a good deal on one any longer, especially when I found this one on the bulletin board at work last October. Now I'm glad I didn't wait! Got it from the original owner with only 39k actual miles! It's got nearly 48k on it now. And for $8,400! At first I thought that was a little high, but now I realize how good a deal I got. Here is the link to my readers rig page for pics. http://www.turbodieselregister.com/u...&albumid=16225 . Thanks to all for the great sight here, I've learned lots about these trucks from you guys. I had Joe D. put in my injectors and he may fix my KDP and timing case bolts this weekend. I may eventually have to go back to the stock injectors due to the smog nazis, but for now I'm makin a little smoke! I've done most of my own vehicle maintenance over the years but wanted to learn a bit more about diesels before trying to tackle much of anything major myself. I'll have some questions pretty soon for you guys. I trust Joe D's advice but don't want to be too much of a pest, also it's often good to get some others opinions on things too. Anyway, hope you like the pics.

Tom
