What year is my truck?

[Fred_M1010]

My truck has the frame from a -73 W200 (supposedly ) but everything else from a -90, -91 or -92 W250.
Which is actually legal, since the vehicles identity is in the frame over here.

(Vehicles older than 30 years are free from "road-taxes" in Sweden.... )

But now I'm thinking of getting a shop manual for it, and would like to make sure I get the right one.
So is there any dead giveaway to find out what year a truck is without the VIN number?

It has the A518 4-speed auto, intercooler, and it also has the external voltage regulater on the firewall
Any ideas?

if i had to guess its a late 91 or a 92. but again thats just a guess.

With a external regulator, and a 518 I would say its a 91.5. 92 and 3's had the reg in the pcm.

[Fred_M1010]

So the A518 didn't come until 91.5 ?
I thought it was in 90.5 but I've been wrong before...
Thats great now we've even narrowed it down to half a year, thanks!

btw did the intercooler come in 91.5 as well?
And are you sure all -92 had the voltage regulator in the PCM?

Yes and yes. I have both a 91.5 & a 92.

[Fred_M1010]

Great, then it's settled.
I have a 91.5
Thanks guys

How many old dodges are over there.

[Fred_M1010]

Not many sadly, Chevys are a dime a dozen though.
I guess me and my friends are an exception, we have five 1stgen cummins dodges among us

[ellis93]

That is a shame. Are parts hard to come by.

[Fred_M1010]

Not as hard as it is expensive

In truth, I would think that, in Sweden, Cummins engine parts might be easier to find than DODGE truck parts, per se.
This would be mainly because of their wide variety of uses and the fact that it seems that Cummins is very much a global supplier of engines.

That might be true, I'll try searching for a Cummins-dealer next time I need a Cummins specific part.
But my experience tells me it's mostly the Dodge specific parts that breaks
