In really good condition, 176K on the clock. This is a 518 non lock up with 3.54's 2WD. I was wondering what kind of fuel mileage you guys are getting with yours and if you are using any fuel conditioner with the ULSD and the mechanical injection pump. I have to fix the A/C first before I start driving it on a regular basis, the compressor is locked up. I'll get some pics up later this week.

I was pulling down 22mpg with my 93 2wd in stock form with an aftermarket converter. No pump mods, etc.

in my 93 4x4 I would only get 19mpg, it had a stage II diesel converter, major pump mods, fuel pin, and pump timing adjustments. It was borderline runaway and had a fuel cut off pull cable just in case.
Also the "smoke" screw was set to roll coal by the prior owner, and I never had it reset.
I'm sure had it been adjusted a bit more conservative it would have done better

I have no clue if the KDP has been fixed or not, something I might want to look into.

Well so far I spent $400 for a new compressor, h-valve and drier to find out the evaporator has a large leak.  So another $115 for an evap and heater core. After driving newer trucks for the past 10 or so years I forgot how much fun this was. Still not bad considering the $2500 purchase price, 4 oil filters and one fuel filter I got in the deal.

OK, I know it took awhile but here are a few pics of the truck.    So far I had the top blue part painted because of surface rust. I had to replace the hood ($70 from the local u pull it) because it had a bug deflector on it with leaves caked in there for a decade. Otherwise rust free. Not even a tear in the seats. I got a black vinyl floor mat to replace the carpet and fixed the A/C and put in a new heater core. It delivered 21.5 MPG on it's first full week of commuting. I've since done some pump mods and advanced the timing. All free stuff, I'll see how it does before I start spending money for an exhaust system and injectors. But so far I am very happy with it.

I am thinking about a first generation dodge diesel truck. I know of one for sale I have seen pictures but have not seen truck in person. it looks good from what I have seen of it. it is a 1992 dodge w 250 4x4 extended cab 12 valve diesel. it has new injection pump and lift pump timing slightly increased, hx35 turbo,5 inch exhaust, m and h m4 fuel pin, m and h spacer. the sychro is starting to go ot of third gear but he says it doesn't affect the driving of the truck. he has done a lot of work to the truck he is asking $10,000 for the truck is he out of line with this price.  the truck is a 5 speed 207,000 miles.

In my part of the country it wouldn't take long to sell that truck IMO

Ah, wow. I guess I got a pretty good deal. Even with everything I've done so far I'm still only into the truck for about $3500. There was one local for sale with a 5 speed and 321K on it with a very rusty roof for $4800.
