    Picked up this big fella a few days ago as a project for us and to use as a tow rig. 1993 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel 4x4 Automatic LE.



    The paints starting to flake off in spots, which is common for these things. The previous owner decided to paint the hood and roof black over the maroon :confused: and it's already flaking off. I buffed out a little spot and it took off a lot of the oxidized paint and shined it right up, so eventually I'll do the whole hood and hopefully the roof. Otherwise it's rust free.

    So far we've already did a hand wash on it, polished the wheels, took off stickers, and took off the bug guard. Today we replaced the bushings and pins in the driver side door because it was all wiggly and hard to close. Also got it vacuumed out and cleaned the air filter.

    Plan is to fix some odds and end things, sell the shell and secondary fuel tank (not directly hooked into anything), new tires (dry rotted due to it sitting for a long time), and hopefully add a little HP to it, new exhaust and more.

    Pics of door and pins. Also cleaned about an inch of dirt off the door behind the panels. Revealed all that pretty red paint.

    Good ol 12 valve. You can grind the fuel plate and put a extra 2 foot of vaccum hose to the wastegate to bump up the boost.
