This forum is excellent, I found it last nite and i joined last nite I was sure glad to find this place

About a month ago I bought a 93 W250 reg. cab 4X4 fully loaded (i think, i may be missing an option or two not sure lol) with 175,000 km (109,000 miles) off my Uncle for $9000 Cad. I always wanted a Cummins and I am babying this thing to death lol, except I'm making her work, I'm pulling around a 14,000 lb manlift around the city....I thought it would have a little more power than it does at the higher speeds (4th-5th gear seems hard on her) but im ok with it; but i'd like to have more power if i wouldnt torch tha tranny(I think its a getrag?? Everything in the truck is still stock i believe). Is tha stock standard trans decent? Reading through these forums makes me wanna spend moneyalthough i dont no on what (besides gages) - i'm a big fat newb to this whole thing-FOR NOW lol, cash is a little tight rite now anyways but i just quit smoking so that should help haha...I spent an hour and a half at tha car wash with her tonite, i think im in love Seems to be a great bunch here and I already no i spent a wise 48 dollars

Cheers,
Carl
