I have to admit. I love the sound of the 24v. Because I have one, I love it. The 12v I love the growl.

As a 12v owner myself 🙋🏻‍♂️ … I must say that the 12v cold start is way cooler than the 24v

those transmissions have a 60,000 mile service maintenance requirement of adjusting the bands. its in the service manual. most people don't do that and think their tranny is going when it slips. it needs adjustment.. lol

The truck is just the shipping crate for the engine.

I got lucky with the KDP on my truck. When it happened it just ejected itself out of the cover into my crank postion sensor. Some JB welf fixed that hole and she runs smooth to this day.

what wheels and tires u got on the 24 valve looks amazing

Just placed another order in the store!! Me and my boy are excited for the contest! He’s a diesel fanatic!! He showed me your channel and said we have to Win Nasty Red! Lol looking forward to new content.. God Bless

What size are them bags that's on the rear of the 24v? And where did you get them

What size are those small light bars on the 12valve?

Love my 2nd gen Cummins 600 HP @ the wheels, and just replaced the VP 44 (2nd pump in 25 years of ownership)

I had a 1997 1500 (so before the '98 refresh) and I can 100% confirm, the dashboard was TERRIBLE. One day the radio just fell out. The cupholder also came out eventually, there was just nothing left after a time.

I bought my 12 valve with a cracked timing cover from the KDP. Its fixed

Right about the vp44 an lift pump. Put a bottom sump an 1 /2 fuel line. Through bred vp44 are great and fass lift pump all set ready to go

good morning keep the great work hope you have a wonderful new year

Awesome video my man 🙌🏼

Keep it up brother!

I've got an idea. Giveaway the truck, a trailer, and a lawnmower. It could be a business setup Giveaway. Just a thought.

Transmission and steering and interior and rust on rocker panels . And vacuum pump is notorious for leaking as well

you forgot to mention the 53 blocks on the 24 valves that the casting is thin an some of them and they crack and leak coolant.

I own a second gen and daily a first gen I love my first gen my second generation is awesome too but I like the quality of t he first gen more overall better then driving a Ford or a Chevy cuz then I’d be waiting for the shop to fix it Nothing like the reliability of the Cummins 12 valve is my favorite

I have a 03 ram srt stile 4.7 magnum engine sports cars gets headaches in high way with my truck.

Best place too find stuff for a 2002 dodge 3500 it’s a dually

I would replace the rusting frame issue (common to any vehicle in the rust belt) with the stock, Gen 2 steering issues, but everything else is spot on. We have a ‘94 Auto and an ‘01 6-speed, quad cab in the family. Both long beds and 4x4. 172K and 411K miles, respectively. Love them both, but would really like a P-pump on the ‘01. Finally, eliminated oil leaks on the ‘01 with a speedy sleeve and seal on the crank nose, a Keating machine tappet cover, a Cummins vacuum pump reseal kit and a Red Head steering box. Good bye automatic rust proofing and kitty litter on the shop floor. The ‘01 also has Gen 3, 14” brakes (17” wheels), Gen 4, T-style tie rod, adjustable track bar, Borgesen high volume power steering pump, Thuren front springs and EMF ball joints. It stops, steers and tracks like a new truck. The ‘94 (bought new) has a built 47RH, the KDP fix, fuel plate, slightly bigger injectors and one ton rear wheel cylinders. Almost stock, but good light duty, daily driver, with better brakes and “gitty up” better than stock. Many more fixes and improvements on both. Great trucks, both clean and easy to maintain compared to PS or DM powered trucks.

The change of sulfur levels in diesel absolutely killed the fuel systems on the 24 valve. I don’t blame Dodge they just got caught up

Idk why I’ve been lucky with my VP-44 & factory lift pump, but I give all the credit to using nothing but Chevron #2 diesel (not the biodiesel crap) and I’ve always added Lucas Fuel Treatment mixed With Marvel Mystery Oil religiously with every fuel up. 🤞🏽🙏🏽

hey man i love the trucks and im fourteen and right when i turn 18 12 valve 5.9 on a 4 inch lift kit on 22/14 youve inspired me so much love the vid ,jason btw thanks for the follow back on tiktok

Never had a dash, trans or frame issue on one of these. At least yet

I have a 2005 24 valve with a 6-speed manual. It's a workhorse

Unfortunately, 90% of the issues you addressed are problems all the way up to the 4th gens.. posssibly even the 5th gens but it’s not a common issue yet! My 3rd gen dash is fucked, has a built tranny after learning the hard way acouple times, front end doesn’t have a Chrysler part in the front end, frame has been fully redone etc

My 2nd gen has a manual 5 speed!

Vp44 usually doesn't do the metal shavings...thats the cp pumps

Come to Tacoma wa to buy there’s a ton for sale

One thing I hate about my 2g Cummins. Is that, I don't have 1. I hate that!

Subscribed thanks for sharing

I don’t know about all that I’ve had 4 of them and only had trouble with 1 dash I have an 02 4x4 with the Cummins and everything is original no ratels no rust holes or any other problems and yes the dash is original and not one crack the truck has 289,000 miles guess I’m just lucky love my truck and will drive it until it falls apart or I do

Nice truck they are awesome

I can’t wait to see more about the 24v!!!

Crazy you're giving away that last truck that helped your channel get to where it is today.

As someone who worked in Oakland, I can't stand seeing my farm boys and ranchers putting oakland'esk rims on TRUCKS. Drives me NUTS.

Nailed it!

My dad has a 2002 extended cab king bed six speed manual with 96,000 miles on it. It drives me nuts it’s just been sitting outside for 12 years :(

I have a 99 really clean Xtra cab gas engine

Wrap it in Dark chrome Green

BRO, YOU SHOULD DO ONE OF THE NEW JEEP WRANGLERS DIESELS NEXT

Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Dodge as much as I am Ford and Chevy but from my experiences it seems that to an extent, the outsourced drivetrain is the only good part of the truck. not hating on Dodge, I've got a lot I can complain about from all three brands lol

Mr Clean would look way better without those rapper wheels

My Tranmission just went out in my 5.9.. need about 5k for the transmission I want

all these 2nd gens are 20 plus years old. unless you have a super deep wallet you're not going to be able to afford one that doesn't need fixing, unless you get an extremely good deal/find. these trucks are timeless in my opinion love um or hate them they are sweet trucks. my advice if you desire one of these trucks especially a 24 valve you are going to have to spend a few dollars fixing the weak points but honestly after tackling a few issues you will have a great running truck take care of it they will last for hundreds of thousands of miles! my 24 valve has 300k miles completely stock besides a dual disk clutch, fass lift pump and a couple new components zero blow by, no leaks. just stay away from the 53 blocks especially if you are planning adding more powa.

Goodness I love nasty red

If you add a FASS LIFT PUMP You will never regret it will transform truck to a masterpiece

I have a furniture business and have owned probably 20 Dodge ram Cummins. The 12 valve Cummins are indestructible. No computer controlled this, no electronic that, just basic, easy to work on, and u get a 5 speed and you can depend on them day in and day out, never a problem. 17 mpg with a 25000 pound trailer. Had a Ford 7.3 and was dependable but got 5 mpg. When u drive them all day every day that mpg gets expensive fast. The 94-97 12 valve 5 speed is the best all around truck ever made, period

Good morning freakin awesome Trucks.

Killer dowel pin is far more rare than most believe. I have 3, never a problem. 89, 90, and 91 The 89 has 250,000 miles

dont forget front cab mount rust.

I pray I win Nasty Red 2nd time around!🙏

Malachi a question buddy if someone like myself 😃 was to win nasty red would you be able to load the blow on the bed like you guys did going to auction it would be a long drive back to ct lol

I hope I'm lucky enough 2 win Nasty Red, my car just broke down, toady don't have money 2 fix it right now.

I like the 1st gens

Yo want to buy your flat bed 1st gen

I thought the 25X entries ended at the beginning of the month I'm not gonna get brought back

Were just going to ignore the steering then?

💯❤️ MY CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL

I hope I win my truck just took a shit and needs a new trans

frames don't rot if never driven in salt

Hey man I got a question. My grandpa has a 99 2500 wit 90k miles he said he would sell me for 18k. I feel like it’s a bit much but what do you think

can i buy a truck from you?

Okay I live in the rust belt (upper Illinois) and ive owned two 2nd gens. The first was a 1995 with the 5.9 magnum, and the other is a 2001 with the 24v. ON NIETHER OF MY TRUCKS NOR ANY OTHER 2nd Gen ive seen up here, has EVER has a bad frame. Sure, theres some rusty ass ones. But never close to "falling apart" I have NO idea where your getting that from. "theyre just KNOWN for falling apart" buddy, where?

He'll yeah 🐔

I have 2 12v with perfect frames and I’m selling one rn

The top thing I hate about second gens are all these kids buying them and completely assing them up

Love the engine's. But this video makes me hate Mopar even more

Idc what anybody says 5.9 Cummins and 5.9 magnum most reliable motors ever made

24v sound meaner

Moral of the story if Ford had the Cummins instead dodges would be nothing 😂

You forgot to mention the garbage front ends

These are great trucks except any part dodge did :-P

Don't forget!! GET RID OF THE INTAKE HEATER!!

Find yourself a v10

If you see hecho in Mexico RUN dodge is made in Mexico buy something from Canada or America

The thing about dodges is they’re very bi polar about their quality. The 1st gen trucks are very well built. Second gen’s are crap. 3rd gens are decent. Their stuff is good and bad they’re kind of all over the place

You fail to realize how much better the second generation frame design is compared to the other 90s trucks, which every other company used a weak c channel frame. starting in 94 dodge designed the new frame that is fully boxed to the rear of the cab. the second gen ram shut on ford and gm in every way in the 90s. Shitty dash, ok get a lmc truck dash and forget about it. but i want you to compare the other two competitors frames and get back at me.

You need to get smaller wheels and bigger tires for your trucks. These big wheels and small tire walls look garbage

Great info and excellent video. However, those rims and skinny tires have ruined that truck man. Nothing about that looks rugged or manly! You have created a pavement pounder that's all show and no coal! Those wheels look awful! My gosh quit trying to make every truck a Baja truck from Commie-Fornia son! If you want to upgrade the rims convert that to a 10 lug and put some 22" Alcos on there with 35's! Do this after lifting it 6"! Here ended the lesson! Blow coal!

Stop hanging the goofy rims outside the wheel well !! It's the worst thing ever - like running low profies on a 4x4 w/ no sidewall !?!? What is that !?!? Ridiculous !! Yes, i'm judging you -
