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.

The best cars we drove this year

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Six hundred and fifty. That's roughly how many cars pass through the hands of Autoblog editors every year, from the vehicles we test here at home, to the cars we drive on new product launches, testing roundups, long-term cars, and so on. Of course, our individual numbers vary due to several reasons, but at the end of the day, our team's repertoire of automotive experience is indeed vast. But let's be honest, some cars certainly stand out more than others. So as the year's about to turn, and as we're readying brand-new daily cat calendars for our cubicles, our editors are all taking time to reflect on the machinery that made this year so special, with one simple, open-ended question as the guide – a question that we're asked quite frequently, from friends, family, colleagues, and more. "What's the best car you drove this year?" Lamborghini Huracan When I review the list of everything I drove in 2014, picking an absolute favorite becomes almost impossible. I mean, how does one delineate between the joy offered by cars as different as the Alfa Romeo 4C, Volkswagen Golf R, Mercedes-AMG GT S and even the humble-yet-wonderful Chevy Colorado? Okay fine, I'll just pick the Lamborghini. I drove the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 on a racetrack, in the mountains, and along southern coast of Spain. It felt like the king of the car jungle in all of those places, sucking the eyeballs of observers nearly out of their heads as it drove by, and almost melting my brain with its cocktail of speed and grip and intense communication. It feels a little easy to say that the one new supercar I drove this year was also my favorite, but the fact is that the Huracan is one of the finest cars I've driven during my career, let alone 2014. Judge me if you must. Â– Seyth Miersma Senior Editor Rolls-Royce Wraith There are a couple of ways to look at the question, "What's the best car you drove this year?" In terms of what was so good I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, that'd be my all-time sweetheart, the Volkswagen GTI. Or if I'm just talking about sheer cool-factor, maybe something like the Galpin GTR1, BMW i8, or Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. But instead, I'm going to write about the sheer opulence of being the best of the best. The hand-crafted, holier-than-thou, shut-your-mouth-when-I'm-talking-to-you supremacy. I'm picking the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I drove the Wraith for a week in April, and was really, really impressed. This car does everything, perfectly.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.Â The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
