1990 Dodge Ram W250 Cummins Diesel 4x4 - 5 Speed Manual

(VIN1B7KM2682LS677937).

This vehicle is an early 1990 NON-INTERCOOLED 12-valve Cummins and sits basically stock, as it came from factory with the big 9mm injecotrs . This version is the simplest and most reliable – no overdrive issues, no throttle position sensor and no unreliable computers for charging etc. Still has an external voltage regulator and all it needs is fuel, air and 12 volts and it runs. The design and gear ratios of the early non I/C trucks permit great fuel economy (17-20 mpg) and good highway gears, so you can drive this truck on the interstate.

End of Manufacturer Sourced Specs.

This 12-Valve Cummins is considered one of the best cummins and also considered bulletproof by many; first generation non intercooler engine. It carries great oil pressure cold with full EGR Valve Gauges etc. Transfer case and all 4x4 work very well. As stated, the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) Tab has already been done! Transmission has fresh oil and shifts smooth and correctly. Steering feels like new… it is very tight as is entire front end. New ball joints and front suspension parts. (play is what I would very minimal for one of these trucks (ALMOST NONE)). It has good wheel alignment and it does not pull left or right; drives straight down the road. It is practically smoke free, even at idle when cold.

Oil (Rotella Diesel) was changed about 800 miles ago and it is still on the “full” mark and clean. Rear main and front seals are fine. There are no leaks in the transmission, transfer case or differentials. The springs on this truck are good and have a good arch (see truck side photos). Sits level side to side. Shocks are older but still good. Front brakes have good pad left. Good solid brakes. It’s been very reliable. It has a new 3” exhaust that sounds great. The undercarriage of the truck is clean in a way only a very salt-free truck. She spent most of her life on a southern Virginia farm.

Body

As stated, practically zero undercarriage rust and just a little by top back fenders. It looks great in pictures and very good “in person”. Shes has some front hood paint spray as she was repainted a few years back and the paint job was quite good, but maybe 7.5/10 at best, in my opinion. No body work was done. The truck has solid sheet metal. Fenderwells and rocker panels are a main concern on these early cummins 12-valve trucks. This trucks are amazingly clean and BASICALLY NO RUST AT ALL.

Other than front areas as discussed, there is no peeling. When you see it in person you will see imperfection in the paint and I am reiterating this because it does look good in the pictures. You have to get within 3-5 feet of it to see it. I guess it depends how picky you are. I have gotten pickier as I get older and I can barely stand anything that's not new but you can't get a new one.

But.....the paint is still above average. Anyone who knows about these trucks knows they had a problem with roof rust, especially around the rain gutter. This has a small area! AGAIN, IT IS VERY SOLID BUT NOT PERFECT. I also pulled the tail lights out to check inside the bed for rust under the fender flares – again there is none. No hitch or 5^th wheel was in it. The bed of the truck is scratched up a bit, from years to and from the hardware store, etc, but rust free. The door insulation on the cab is in decent shape…the hard rubber strips that sit at the base of the side windows are all theres; they are somewhat a brittle and cracking a bit but still functional / good. The vent windows operate very tight and have ZERO wind whistle. The windshield is in very good condition. All of the rest of the glass is OEM “Safeguard” and in good condition. The door hinges are in good condition and the doors open and close ok.

Interior

It is in quite good stock condition. Headliner is excellent. Door panels excellent. No cracks or sun damage to dash. The seat shows quality and care of interior as it had only very minor wear and small quarter-size tear on the cording on the driver’s side. It is a non-smoker truck and has no cigarette burns or odor. The driver sun visor still holds original transfer case schematics. The visors are in like-new shape and stay right up against the headliner. There is no sun fade because it was garaged most of it whole life.

Electrical/HVAC

Very original electrical system. Fuse box still sits in factory clip in the lower dash. All exterior lights high/low beams work. Dome light works, through the switch and when doors are opened. Manual windows and locks work. Horn works like new. Turn signals and flashers work. Horn works. (Recent Virginia State Safety Inspection Passed). Heater works. Blower works on all speeds. Gas gauge is accurate. Wipers and washer work.

All in all it is a good solid truck. The reserve is reasonable. I have a free and clear title in my name. Feel free to check carfax and autocheck. Money needed for downpayment on new house purchase otherwise never sell this early cummins! If you would like to setup an appointment to see it in person you can. Wire transfer or cashier’s check, but truck and title stay with me until it clears.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Stellantis wants to trim 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs, UAW says

Wed, Apr 26 2023

WASHINGTON — Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV wants to cut approximately 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs and is offering voluntary exit packages, according to a United Auto Workers union letter made public Tuesday. The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page. Stellantis spokeswoman Jodi Tinson declined to comment. A person briefed on the matter said the figure might be lower than the figure cited in the UAW letter. In late February, Stellantis indefinitely halted operations at an assembly plant in Illinois, citing rising costs of electric vehicle production. The action impacted about 1,350 workers at the Belvidere, Illinois, plant that built the Jeep Cherokee SUV and resulted in indefinite layoffs. The automaker has warned it may not resume operations as it considers other options. The UAW letter said openings created by workers leaving would be filled by workers on indefinite layoff. Stellantis said in February that about 40,000 U.S. hourly workers were eligible for profit sharing. Last week, UAW President Shawn Fain said Stellantis' decision to idle the Illinois plant was "a flat-out violation" of the union's contract with the UAW and is unacceptable. The UAW will enter talks with the Detroit Three before labor contracts expire in mid-September. Earlier this month, General Motors said about 5,000 salaried workers accepted buyouts to leave the automaker. GM CEO Mary Barra said February job cuts of a few hundred jobs and the 5,000 buyouts "provided approximately $1 billion towards" a $2 billion cost cutting target. Ford Motor Co recently announced significant job cuts in Spain, Germany and other parts of Europe and in August said it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
