1993 Dodge Ram Intercooled W250 Cummins Diesel 4x4 - 5 Speed Manual

(VIN: 1B7KM26C3PS119086)

This vehicle is a “MADE IN USA” 1993 INTERCOOLED 12-valve Cummins (many made in Mexico, the factory sticker will show legal MADE IN USA). With the exception of the $3000 NV-4500 5-Speed transmission upgrade, it sits basically stock, as it came from factory.  It has added a high quality $1200 sun/moon roof!

Emergency brake cable needs replacement.

Mechanical – Vehicle has just under 115,000 miles and is basically all stock.

Starts on the first revolution every time, even in winter.  

This 12-Valve Cummins is considered the simplest and, by many, the best Cummins and also considered bulletproof by many; first generation Intercooled engine. It carries great oil pressure cold. Transfer case and all 4x4 work very well.  As stated, the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) Tab has already been done! Transmission is a NV-5400 upgrade from the stock Getrag 360. It has low mileage and shifts smooth and correctly, Castrol Syntorq Transmission Fluid purposefully overfilled by 1qt as recommended by Diesel Forum members.  

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 was changed recently and it is still on the “full” mark and clean.   Rear main and front seals are fine.  There are basically no leaks in the transmission, transfer case or differentials, also new shocks (see truck side photos).  Sits level side to side. Front brakes have good pad left.  Good solid brakes. It’s been very reliable.  It has a new Flow master 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 in the mid atlantic area, primarly Maryland and Virginia. Very light use.

 Body

As stated, NO RUST.  It looks great in pictures and very good “in person”. Older but full bed removal / bare metal paint restoration (retail $8000+ paint job in MB 050 pearl). It is an older restoration! The truck has solid sheet metal. Fenderwells and rocker panels are a main concern on these early cummins 12-valve trucks. These are Rust Free. I.e. NO RUST AT ALL.  

Interior

It is in quite good stock condition. Headliner is ok.  Door panels and seats are absolutely excellent.  No cracks or sun damage to dash. The seat shows quality and care of interior.  Power window and door lock options. Interior lights and turn signals etc all work as new. It is a non-smoker truck and has no cigarette burns or odor.   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.   All exterior lights high/low beams work.  Dome light works, through the switch and function as it should, when doors are opened. Electric windows and locks are stock and work as new.  Horn works.   Turn signals and flashers work.   Heater works.  Blower works on all 4 speeds.  Gas gauge is accurate. Wipers and washer work.  All cosmetically and functionally excellent.

All in all it is a good solid truck.  The reserve is reasonable. I have a free and clear title in my name. The only reason i am selling this beast is i am getting an early racing ('73) porsche 911 and need the money. Feel free to check carfax and autocheck.  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.
