Hey guys, first post! I'm back in the truck game with an '88 Ram D150. So I guess it's popular with me!

My dad has an '89 RCLB D250 SE, 2WD, CTD with the automatic trans. My uncle has one camo'd out just like it, but its a custom trim level. Its a W250 Power Ram though, its lifted a few inches. And there's a D350 just like ours and a D250 just like ours around town, The D250 is red and white, ours is silver and grey.

We had an 88 D250, 2wd, 360, 4sp, 4:10 gears. I kind of miss it.
We have a nice looking 70s Dodge truck 4dr / 4x4 with a Cummins diesel in it running around town. We also have a real sharp late 70s Chevy truck crew cab 4x4 with a Cummins diesel in it.

there is a cummins mechanic where i live that has one that is a EFFIN beast! its a CTD! just ask dave! lol the guy helped dave do his injectors. then there is another very nice quad cab a few miles down the road with a single stack and its also in perfect shape... i love these trucks and even though they are old, the CTD in these trucks will still make 500 HP easy. diesel power magazine is building a rust bucket one for hp and its past 500 no problem. and on the cheap may i add :********:

It has van LCA's & the rear was flipped on top of the springs. The engine is a 98 5.9 with a Performer RPM air gap intake. A few goodies from Hughes Engines,Bouchillion Performance & Mancini racing. It's already plumbed for FI & I've upgraded the pickup inside the tank. Aluminum factory radiator. All new brakes(everything) I have more pics & will make a buildup thread on it & the others
