are THE BOMB 
as far as strength. 
From what I remember the D71 is the less desirable axle. But further reading says that the 3.07 gears
The Dodge diesel forum mentions running a 3200 spring in the pump. It's been years since I've played with the earlier Cummins engines.
Yep. I've read the same things.
I notice that the little camera icon is HORIZONTAL!Look forward to the.
Your timing is impeccable, brother. I've been in contact with the seller (twenty minutes ago) asking if he knew what the axle ratio was (he does not), as well as scouring the internet (which we all know is absolutely and completely reliable...) for the information. My '90 has 3.54s in it, and it would appear that the '89 would have either 3.54s, or (gulp) 3.07s. I've read on one site that the 1-ton dually could only be had with 3.07s, and on another site that the 3.07s were rare, and that 3.54s were standard fare.
As the subject of my upcoming 1st-Gen Dodge Cummins purchase is being discussed, I thought I'd share this video. Kind of long (in fact, I have only just started watching it myself), but it shows promise, thus far.
*Man, I've never heard anyone pronounce it like this guy does..."Chryzler"...with a "Z" instead of an "S".
**Alright, I just finished watching it, and I have to say I found it really informative. Lots of it I already knew (like Dodge offering a Mitsubishi diesel in the late '70s. In fact, there was one featured on one of my favorite YouTube channels, "Cold War Motors"). But there was plenty that I didn't know, so it was well worth the watch.
This one just popped up on Barn Finds. Decent looking truck, but over 200K and an ebay price at $18,600 with another day to go.

They do. Those and the 2nd Gen. It's still crazy what some of these "old" '80s and 90s trucks are selling for now.
It's kinda funny, at least to me, I have two family members who sold their old trucks right before the market took off. A brother-in-law sold his mid '80s GMC 2500 4x4 that he had bought new, then the square-body-revolution happened like a week later. Then my tight-ass uncle sold a '94 F350 dually that my grandpaw had bought new, and the prices of those just keep climbing. All he can see is lost $. Stuff like that really gets to him. It's really easy to poke that bear.
