Hey all kind of like they say for new comers or imports (hence the user name) here in Texas I wasn't born here but got here as quick as I could.
Well I was born over on TDS, have nothing but good things to say about that sight.
I was able to find more info over here about what I'm working on and hopefully I'll be able to contribute here.
I bought my 93 back in march of this year first diesel I ever owned. Grew up on a farm and ranch in Kansas so I've been around them and worked on them but never owned one. I picked it up from an old man that was dying of cancer God rest his soul, and he wanted his "baby" to be left in good hands. Well I did my best and revived the ole girl "Lizzy" is what my Dodge loving Cajun father in law called it, and it stuck.
Well I bought my 94 from some local folks who werent to mechanical they thought the motor was dead and had let the cats take over the cab for about a year. Needless to say it wasn't pretty when I pulled her home. I bought the 94 cause it had the turbo and the body was better shape than the 93. I picked it up for $600. I was just going to swap turbo onto the 93 and some body parts then scrap the rest.
But before i did that I decided to check out the motor and see what was going on. Well low and behold it was just over filled with oil and needed a new injector pump. Which the ole man from the 93 had given me an extra one off a 6.9.
So after draining the oil and changing the IP and a few other tweaks, Lizzy II came to life.
So I cleaned her up, a complete stripping of the interior and power wash then several boxes of baking soda.
She is now my daily driver. Wish I had a 4wd but I'm fine without it for now.
Came over here looking for the right Cold Air Intake for me and have found a lot more usefull information.
Well sorry for the book but just wanted to get myself introduced proper.
