I love to have a new one with 4+4 or dually with extra long bed with mega cab and the old Cummins mated to a better transmission but still in a manual and a great dash at don't shadder in a month after ownership and last a long time like a Volvo or Isuzu and then mount that soft cover dash to it in a cowboy 🤠 style leather in light brown or dark brown or black and if gas a trx super charged or twin turbo viper motor

@TerrySmith-fc9mj The Viper V10 and the V10 Magnum used in the Ram 2500’s are 2 different motors. And they didn’t use a Cummins because the Cummins is slow. They tow great, but they’re slow. And more expensive.

Had a '99 Ram for years(still do-- drove it to work today actually). It's no joke that those 318s can take a beating. This thing has been abused so much over the years and still keeps going. Been trying to make sure it'll stay on the road as long as it can. I didn't realize it's looking a little Walker Texas Ranger-ish. I got a wrap around grill from the smaller Dakota and cut off the headlight guards to turn it into a bull bar, and threw on side runners too. Only the truck is a dark green and the added parts are black(no lights or bar in the bed though). Dodge knew what they were doing with the appearance of these things. People to this day tell me it's a damn nice looking truck. Keep up the awesome work on these videos, I discovered this channel a few months ago and was instantly hooked.

Best looking truck out of the era, it literally made me want a truck, couldn’t say that from prior years, and before the redesign I had no reason to even consider Dodge aside from pricing. I owned several different second generation Rams with different engines, my favorite was the V10 with the 5 speed manual, nothing but torque and raw power for its time. Even though I own arguably a more powerful, and arguably better made modern truck, I still don’t get as excited as I did the day I bought the 2nd Gen Ram I really wanted, garnet exterior, tan leather interior, V10, dually fully loaded with wood grain, keyless entry, and a lot more. I definitely want a 96 Indy 500 pace truck one day as my last one, nobody has came out with anything that looks better, even Dodge couldn’t top it in later model years and they tried hard. Walker Texas Ranger and the movie Twister fueled my passion for the truck growing up, even Steven Seagal drove one in his movie Exit Wounds.

I have a 97 Ram 1500 i bought in summer of 99. The tranny is the weak link for sure. I had the transmission rebuilt in 2005 after the snap ring for the cluster gear in the transfer case broke giving false neutrals. Transgo shift kit and some 3/4 ton spec upgrades really made it tough. Scary pulling a car trailer as the shift downs and ups on the highway are real stout. Keep waiting for the driveshaft to spit out...

I've owned both the 318 and currently the 360. And 100% i love them both. They are absolute dogs on power, but they run and run and run. They don't care about your maintenance schedule. They turn fuel into work and are exceedingly efficient at it. The transmissions are usually on borrowed time, but hey, any vehicle that can easily go well into the 250,000+ range on just ball joints is worth it. Also, the LS market is starting to catch up in price to usability so the hot rodders have been going to the 5.9 magnum. A few internal upgrades and you can get 350+hp in a cheap low buck V8.

If you have a carefully trained eye you can spot when they started using 98-02 Rams. They changed out the mirrors for the 94-97 ones, but the interior on the newer ones are distinctive. Also in the episode ‘The Dragonfly’ Walker’s Ram 1500 gets hit by a missile. The truck used for the stunt said ‘Ram 1500’ on the side, but, if you look closely you can see the wheels are 8-lugs instead of 5-lugs. That would indicate a 2500, or 3500 Ram. Maybe they needed a heavier truck for the stunt, or it was a warranty return. Anything is possible.

From my experience the 46RE transmissions are great. I think people just don’t check the fluid level properly. If you check it in park you get a false reading. The print on the dipstick says to check it in neutral on level ground with the engine idling at normal operating temperature. The manual goes further and says to shift into all of the gears ending in neutral and then check. My dad bought a brand new 1998 Ram 1500 and I’m now the caretaker of it. It’s about to clock over at 333k miles, basically 1/3 of a million. We rebuilt the transmission once but that’s how we learned we didn’t check the fluid properly. Since then it’s always been a strong transmission. I pulled cars behind it halfway across the country and it never complained. Excellent trucks! Just wish they chose better materials for the dash.

According to an article in Car and Driver magazine Chrysler did extensive focus groups just before they released the restyled Dodge Ram and almost dropped the whole idea because a solid majority of potential buyers absolutely hated the new styling. They only stuck with it because the minority who liked it was still close to double the previous D100 models' rather dismal sales to anybody other than fleet buyers looking for cheap, disposable work trucks. Imagine what would have happened if they hadn't stuck to their guns. The other clever thing they did was take notes and pictures of contractors' trucks on construction sites to identify popular aftermarket mods to include as features.

Great video as always. Any chance we could get a video on the Lamborghini Murcielago on the Dark Knight? Its quite a rare car and i have some friends on KZfaq who could probably help you get extra info for it.

Yes I owned a used 97 ram great truck just had to replace transmission at 300, miles but a great truck 319 engine 👍
@CarStarz42 2 ай бұрын
Yeah, my 318 '94 lasted about the same, but went through a couple transmissions and few transfer cases too.

I disagree that Dodge’s 2nd gen Ram was a radical departure from the “boxy” trucks that the competition had. GM moved away from the boxy truck with the 1988 GMT 400 platform. The best that can be said about Dodge in this regard is they expanded upon what GM had already done.

That GM model was still boxy IMHO anyways...

My friend the late James J "Wolfie" Beards, was a custom model maker he would take a 1/24th scale model and modify it to look exactly like your vehicle down to the rust and dings in the paint. He made a model of walker's truck in the mid 2000's, not aure where ot oa now he passed away over 10 years ago.

You seem to have forgot about the time that Walker's truck got blown up. Either episode 5-3 or 5-7 "codename dragonfly" was the episode name. Might also be able to go into a little detail on how that was pulled off as well.

I'm sure they sacrificed a few for those those kinds of scenes over the show's run, but I haven't watched through the whole series myself.

Here's something very cool and a hunch guessing. Chuck Norris Walker Texas Ranger Character, series and truck. Based on the movie Lone Wolf Mcquaid. Norris was a texas ranger, his vehicle a dodge power ram wagon. Both has indentical features added. To be fair Walker's Ram woulda had a 5.9 which is comes close to the 440 supercharger with nitrous oxide.

Ol chuck woulda caught them criminals a lil quicker if'n he had a compounded vp44 truck instead. The 318 & the 360 have power (I drove a 318 up to 11k ft above sea level without feeling slow) but them diesels will your butt through the seat.
