The honking in reverse is from a tsb. It was a reflash for "out of park alarm" if the door isn't shut all the way when it's in reverse it will honk at you. Can be reflashed and that can be removed

I have to hand it to you, you know your Cummins engines. I would have been a tad skeptical on a truck with over 435K miles. Great job getting it squared away, Sam. Looking forward to the progress.

Bought an 03 a few months ago and have some tiny rust bubbles forming so I can’t wait to see you repairing the rust. I’m planning on repairing those spots ASAP. Super clean and runs like a champ.

It's always neat to watch videos from different states; living in the rust belt...that rust/rot is 100% assumed to already be there, if it's not it's because it was replaced less than a year ago lol

Mine would honk if I backed up with the door open and the seat belt unlatched

Hey dude, awesome video. I have a pick up very similar to this one that needs a lot of work as well. I'll be staying tuned to see all of your progress. 👍🏽

Those side rails fold down. Once you start using them. At hitching time they are great. Bradford had the highest rated rear hitch of all the flatbed makers at the time I bought mine 5 years ago. The Bradford gooseneck is really good too. The finish has held up really nice on mine here in Texas. Mine has the 4 side boxes.

Miss the truck videos! Hope you get back to posting more often! Favorite channel on KZfaq 💯

Thanks for the video Sam Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️❤️👍.

A very VGG inspired walk-around. Nice score man!

I used to run lucas for years as well, until i found Amsoil All in 1.. man, that some good ish.. Man i used a 21 duramax 3500 dually last week to tow an excavator .. dam thing surprised the hell out of me how well it towed.. merry Christmas ✌️

I admire that you talked through the deal as well!

Those Bradford beds are made in Kansas. Well made!! I’m from Kansas. I’d like to find a truck like that for a farm truck!!

Really nice. 🤔 About 40k miles on my 2018 3500 Silver G56. My TRX has been distracting me, but life is about land, diesels, & guns.🤔 Utility beds rock!😃

I’ve got the save truck with the nv5600 So far I’ve had to replace the turbo, went with a 62/65/12 come to find out the stock turbo had a stuck open waste gate. Bought it with air dog lift pump and a bully dog tuner. Think I’m going to do the valve lash here soon. But now that you said something about how the rev sorta sticks I might have the onset so I’ll try to clean her out but if that doesn’t work looks like Ill be getting some new injectors

Very cool addition to the fleet. Looks like a good running around truck.

That’s cool and funny you bought that truck, I seen it on marketplace a couple hours away from my house and I was eye balling it because I like the Bradford bed on it and it is a sharp looking truck overall. I’m glad you’re bringing it back to life and giving it some much needed love.

Wow its been a while since I've checked out your content. This was very well put together nice work nice rig!!

Still love my 06 G56 3500 dually. Bought it new 👍👍

If the shift indicator is not "circled" around say...the "D" for drive (on the PRND on the dash), it will honk at you. Basically yelling that it cannot detect what motion you're in. My buddies 2003 Ram 2500 cummins does the same thing when shifted to Park. Also, just had to do injectors on his as well. Tried diagnosing every possible, cheap, option as to why his would hard start (only start on ether). 6 new injectors later...

Hey good video I got a white long bed 2003 3rd gen cummings myself I love it but every forum says they are junk mine has s&b cold air intake 185hp injectors even the old bully dog chip I don't use ever I should some time had it 11 years now I love the truck you got a good looking 03 ? 04 nice oregon boy 5.9 3rd gen cummings good video

Here in Western North Carolina if you see the bottom Rhino-line band at the bottom you don’t even have to poke you just know😂😂 I was hoping the ATF would bring those injectors around but looks like may have to address those!! Hope you and your family have a merry Christmas!!

you have the same symptoms i had when i had a injector internally leaking one thing you could try is the pressure relief valve

Cool content man!

Awesome video bud. Nice to see ya flip a 3rd gen 👍

10:30 For some reason I recall being told that has something to do with the gear shifter position or the range switch on the trans.

I’d love to get an 07 6-speed bug eye mega cab and put one of these 3rd gen front clips on it. I love the mega cab but absolutely HATE those bug eye front ends.

Nice find there Sam and happy holidays to you Callahan and I believe Tracy is your better half's name

Looking forward to the refurb of this mate. New York and rotten cab corners go hand in hand i guess. Keep em coming blessings from Shropshire.

now you know what we deal with here in NY. My 96 cummins has been stored for six months every year

I live in NY, I'm jealous of that truck. It got to leave this state. Can't say Cali is better but where you are looks awesome.

Nice buy buddy ! I like the look 👍🏻

I like that one Sam. Will be looking for one like it next year.

Get some Schaeffer oil in that baby! Nice score on the truck! Just picked up a 03 myself 🤘

Can you show us when you install the bottom seat cushion in the truck? I gotta install one in my dodge

Dang sweet deal on the truck 🤘🏽🇺🇸

Id love to see a vid of repairing the seat

Looking forward to more vids on this truck

It rated there because the tape came off the back and I replaced it with some good heavy duty tape and sprayed bed linner over tape 6-7 years still good to go !!

i said i wouldnt buy a northern truck then i impulse bought my 2015 2500 hemi. well go figure its a northern truck. luckily all it needs is a fender its got rust under the bubbling paint but thats about it. im in southwest VA so still around salt it wont stay perfect by any means but i still love the truck

TO ANYONE WANTING TO USE LUCAS OIL ADDITIVE DO NOT USE IN WINTER IF YOUR CLIMATE DIPS BELOW 32°. Basically asking for a gel up.

Thanks for sharing Sam 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

We need more of you in CA

DUDE that truck was serviced in my home town in nj thats crazy

Nice score!

Shes a hot looking unit. What a good platform for a new work horse for the fleet

Welcome to my world in the rust belt. And with that little bit of rot that's a clean truck here haha

It has that UPS horn when you put in reverse the horn honks .

Love these videos

My 05 had an ecm flash that made the horn honk if in reverse with the door open, such a pain on the farm

I might be interested in that truck and I know I’m not too far away from you, going by the scenery I’ve seen in some of the videos. I’m down the hill near the Ford dealership you test drove the new Ford after trying Tow Piglet’s.

Need to move the cummins badge on the back of front fenders first thing I did on my brand new 05 3500 5.9 6 speed manual and it’s not for sale but I have been offered sticker price from both guys and the run body shops !!

We’ve got a 2003 common rail and it runs like a champ. 400k and climbing fast.

you should see those third gens up here in alberta, worst dodges for rust.

Buy the factory rockers and just section the body at the proper distance from the door hinge. It’s way easier to just drill out the spot welds and only have finishing to do on the pillars than have long weld seams along the whole rockers

Can you please do a video on how to fix the shift cable to make it actually read park when the truck is in P. When my 07 dodge is in P it reads R on the dash. I have to put it into N to start the truck

Hey she was sold in my town, that’s crazy that rig came from my small little town!

That’s 99% rust free vehicle here in Illinois. If we bought a truck like that here we would be walking around it talking about how little rust is on it lol😅

ATF is by far the best attitve for those trucks that have been sitting The horn going off in reverse is the ICU not seeing the driver door switch....it was a software update Dodge did back in 2003 to turn on the horn if the truck was in reverse with the driver door open....super pain in the ass backing up to trailers One thing to keep in mind is that year of truck .....everything runs through the ICU....and its obsolete....I was fortunate enough to find a reman when my OD started acting up....sold the truck now but 03 to 04.5 have ICU issues that can cause a lot of problems

This was the reason I started using fluid film lol

Great looking 04 Dodge !

Change them injectors quick or you will melt a piston and usually 4-5-6 are the hot ones and check the rail pressure bypass sender unit and may be weak and let to much fuel return to tank.

Great Truck , I think I’m going to go find me one. 👍

We run rocker delete here in Michigan.

Sam my 03 dings at me randomly too. Have never been able to figure it out. Only dings once after starting. If you happen to figure it out throw it in a video. Thanks

Damn right that truck is awesome. 👍🏻👍🏻

You don't know what rust is until you've seen a truck on the Saskatchewan prairies. Truck like that out here would be a unicorn lol

That is a nice looking truck 👍

I bought a F350 out of Chicago that was a 28K low mile truck...I checked underneath very closely....it has fresh undercoating but looked good. 2 years later all that new undercoating had peeled off and revealed all the rust LOL The pickup bed completely disintegrated. Pullled the bed, blasted the frame and coated with por19, installed a flatbed. Good truck now. Not sure how the cab did not get rust.

Being from Upstate NY I’m surprised there isn’t more rust. The amount of salt DOT uses here is absurd

Hopefully that lucas will take care of the injectors can't wait to see some more

Put the factory grill back on it 👍

Viewing from ontario canada here, im a mechanic for a company that has 75+ dumptruck snow plows so i know how much salt sucks, but knoeing you dont even think about rust almost makes me cry lol rust is the only thing factoring on price around here, rust free, no matter what is almoat douboe price here for old trucks

It's not a bad looking truck 👌.

That truck sounds nice

We ran atf in our Detroits once in awhile .

I believe there’s a way to stop it from honking it’s like programmed in

My third Gen won’t start and I thought. It was the by pass that it was letting fuel go by. And what’s funny it was the Atlantic system . My garage had a small fire and it would not fire the injectors and I used my key Phob to start and it fired right up and that’s pretty cool so all was good !!

Old gril is still pretty clean 👌 for been in the 🧂 belt

Damn that’s a good lookin pick up!!

Oh you think THAT rust is bad, I have an 05 third gen gasser and I have no cab corners, no rockers, practically half the bed is gone and rust falls off if you walk past it. Smack your head on the underneath and you get a rust shower. There’s a pile of rust flakes an inch thick on the inside of my front bumper cover. There’s lots of light coming through the old oil pan but me and dad put a new one on. Pretty sure the emergency brake is also rusted up right tight. Love it tho… now to just fix the rest of the problems and put her on the road! Yeah I’m from New York

I have an 05 that’s the same color with the same bed liner on the bottom. Still have the regular bed on it though

You should add a water tank and make it a dedicated ranch fire truck.

Merry xmas

How much did it cost? I’m at the beginning of the video around the engine seize check but nothing.

being from new jersey and watching u think that rust is bad is hilarious, half my truck is gone lol shits just normal here

Nice truck!

Good info.

When I hauled cars for GM we dumped ATF in them all the time and when it would get super cold some guys would dump a couple of gallons of gas into fuel and we two 150 tanks but it would make the start a lot easier in supper cold weather and I always put 50 gals of JET A fuel in the tanks and would keep from jelling up and start really good JET A is just supper clean with additive know as kerosene!

Love it! Original '04 owner here, and never had a problem. 305 or 325?

We found a Ford diesel these older guys were working on they changed injectors and burnt up starter trying to start so it de there for a long time and I told a guy at work so he went by to ask about the truck and there was a brand new for power stroke sitting in drive and he got the old for big time cheap. After work he asked me if I would look at for him and it had a manual trans so I hooked my log chain it and cracked 3 injectors and pulled him down the road and told him if it tries to star to tap brakes and it did tighten injectors lines and pulled about 100 ft and fired right up and we unhooked chain and the guy and his wife standing in yard when drove by and you could tell by the look on their faces they were upset. Bad thing is 3 months latter the interior was burnt bad roof paint all pealed up just lucky no windows were open . The crazy thing was the old man put a cab radio in truck and power wires were run under rubber around door seal and chewed up wire from door opening and closing and there was no fuse to blow so that’s why it burnt .

They make a 5 micro filter by Balwin for you stock location on motor .

Hahaha this is awesome, I’m from MA and this truck has all the rot and stuff that would be typical of my area. You will now feel our pain!!! Great to see you continue to pick up fun projects

Very new to the diesel lingo. What are common rail and 3rd gen. is it a 12v or 24 v? Either way, really enjoyed your video.

Stay away from Autozone for that starter... that's the only advise I can give. Guess it needs a new clockspring if it's honking.... They probably raised the bed with those spacer things, so the headache rack could clear the cab as well as give it more rear wheel clearance. Heh...never did tell us the price.

My 3rd gen 5.9 is sputtering and cutting off. The MAF is cancelled. Has a wire running to the fuse box instead. Could it be the fuse? The turbo solenoid is also cancelled. 6 speed manual

Hey im from New York and i lake you videos 😅

I See 2018's with more rust than that here in OHIO! Its sad... I got spoiled living in NC, Ca, Az, and FL for 25 yrs....

Where do you order the interior stuff ?

How do you like that Autel scanner?
