What it’s like driving a 1st gen cummins around town

A video I made last summer of my 1990 dodge ram w250

[troxx]

My grandpa passed and the family gave me his 91 cummins, red and white exterior on red interior. So much better of a first car than a beater accord or something.

Take good care of it man. Your driving a legend. Especially that 12 valve cummins.

Yea I love mine too I just got done replacing the steering linkage. It was all factory from 92 mine is a d series extended cab though and I just hit 126k miles on the odometer. It just hit its 30th birthday was manufactured in January of 92. Cool video 👍 truck looks really good.

Beautiful rig!! Great find in today’s market

I love my white extended cab w250, wish mine had paint like yours🤘🏼

“Its just a tractor thats road legal” couldnt be more right 😂😂

[ryanperry]

A first gen cummins is my dream truck!!!

[markroybal]

Absolutely LOVE mine as well. mine is my dads W350 with 155000 on it slowly restoring it...mainly the paint job!

[Losman]

0:20 love the starter sounds on the 12v

My Speedo doesn’t work on my first gen.🤷‍♂️. You’re right about it being a tractor that’s street legal. Mine rides like one. It has a flatbed on the back that’s heavy which helps a little bit. Those old first gens rode better with 1500 pounds on the bed

Nice truck....looks tons of fun. Enjoy it to the fullest.

Have had my 1st gen w250 for twenty years now. 425, 000 km and still going strong. I have moved 90 ton passenger coaches around at the rail yard with it. My daily driver when I need 4 wheels instead of 2. I still get notes left under the wipers " do you want to sell this truck".

Whenever people talk about their diesels and I tell them about my 1990 1st Gen, the Messiah Complex just goes to my head: "Yes, you may worship me now"...

[theonestreetone]

… your living my dream tbh I have a 07 ram I’m working on and trying to fix up I want a first gen but my 3rd gen is filled with problems

[shaneroper]

Nice truck. Want one. Durable, reliable, and probably better in fuel than the gassers.

[RiggyRonnie]

I have the same setup but in 2nd gen platform, 96 5spd 4x4 Cummins single cab long bed half painted white. I think it’ll be worth swapping a 6 speed into it. Much better gearing.

I mean it’s like driving a truck it wasn’t built that long ago we’re not talking about a model t here. Nice truck.

[lunic-qyzq]

i got a 93 d250 extended cab jus hit 465k still running strong✅

As a 93 w250 owner I concur these trucks are legit street legal tractors. Ride worse than a mack log truck but just don't quit.

[alitheretrokid]

Hell yeah man I'm in the market for a truck to haul a bunch of cars, and I'm dead set on a 1st gen cummins. Ideally it would be exactly like yours, w250, manual, intercooled. Not sure if you looked into it but these things run great on black diesel, and if you get good at making it pretty much costs you nothing.

[fritzbiederstadt]

I have a first gen...but automatic. Wish it was standard.
