Thanks man I love these trucks I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Trying to make some good stuff!

I would imagine so, one of the perks lol

Same. 97 gasser 318. I love it!! These 2nd gens have a presence about them for sure.

Hahah cummins are just much more fun! Jeeps ain’t bad either tho! Thanks for the sub we will have some more content coming soon

I agree man ya can’t beat these old trucks! I do wish I had an 02 6 speed though! That’s awesome thanks for watching!

Lol what now

He's saying you look like shia LaBeouf

Lakhan Haas interesting...

Lmao!! He does though 😂👍🏾

Thanks guys 🙄

Thank you man! They are out there but they are getting harder to find that’s for sure but you will find one and it’ll last you a good wile if you take care of it

I’m not sure I follow lol

The Diesel Ranch you look like shia labeouf from transformers. In the movie, he drives a yellow camaro.

Thank you

LMFAO

Can’t beat em!

Was 2001 the first year of the 6 speed manual?

@J P I believe it was 1999 but I could be wrong

We are getting there man climbing everyday Slowly nut surely! Thanks for supporting!

Yes sir! Got plenty of it lol

Thanks man!

They are good Trucks for sure but I don’t ever mess with the autos they are not reliable

​@@floridafenceland1137the problem with the autos is that the morons that have them or are getting rid of them don't flush the fluid every 24,000 miles and adjust the bands like chrysler recommends

Yeah I agree man! They are fun

Yeah I need that for sure

They are solid units

How many miles do you have now? I just hit 400k in my 2001

anthony sagorac thank you!!

Damn that’s a rowdy setup! I bet that’s a blast to drive on the street

The Diesel Ranch it really is amazing to drive, I have a new set of 100 over injectors on the way as well as a tst tuner in my garage

Hell yeah man I’ve been wanting to tune my truck too it’s never been tuned before been stock forever lol

Thanks bud! Thanks for watching!

@ The Diesel Ranch your welcome earned a sub and you also have a cool channel

I appreciate that man!

That’s awesome man! I’m up that way a lot!

Awesome! And yeah the drive thrus are fun I always just shut it down as I roll up to the window it’s not worth the hassle lol

if you dont mind me asking what would you pay for one rn im looking to buy a extended cab long bed 2500 2002 4wd with the 6 speed if I cant imma go for a 5 because im not gonna haul too much. Just your thoughts on everything as an owner or my dream truck would help me alot thank you.

Yeah I always loved the wood grain

If you haven't figured it out yet, it's a ranch hand. Good luck

Yes sir!

They are iron man m/t tires 35s and I was getting about 17 average Mpg

How do you like the dmax though? In comparison to the 24v

Trade for 4th gen 1500 or nothing

They work good!

@@floridafenceland1137what size lift and tires getting a truck identical to yours Saturday and it has 33s but they look tiny

Sweet deal!

I think they are great first trucks reliable and easy to work on and learn I would say it’s probably the best starter diesel

i hear you. i’m looking for an extended cab short bed manual. they either all have rust or 300k miles and most of the time both. i just want one around 200k miles with little to no rust for about 8k

Randomly cutting out, dead pedal, then also sometimes it would seem to run slow like low on power, I could tell by the smoke it had, if it was running normal it would haze a little like normal but then when it was “slow” it would have no smoke at all and would be low on power very odd possibly was a ground issue as well

They are great trucks and they are also pretty efficient on fuel for what they are

Haha damn that sucks man

@@floridafenceland1137 yea putting that clutch in sucked I used a pittsburgh 800.lbs transmission jack and I did not detach the transfer case I did fill the jack when I got it and ether I didn't put enough in or one of the seals was messed up I did have fluid on in and the gound but I thought it was from the t-case but other then that it's pretty simple

You are probably right, I am not up to date on my gm facts

Same. My 96 12v and 04 24v both seem to get 11 or 12. If i am hauling a trailer in a strong headwind like yesterday, i was probably getting 8 mpg with the 04. I have never gotten anywhere close to the 19mpg many claim.

Ranch hand legend

Yeah man 2500 is way worth it, this will Probably be the last dually I own, just don’t need it a 2500 would for sure do You well!

I would love to copy that exact set up

I would love to copy that exact set up

Yes I would because 2007, last and best year of the 5.9 also it should have a G56 trans, best trans, and everything else should be just fine I’d do it 100% if it was me

I love the 2gen dually when they have lifts and those boggers I might get one instead spending over 60k on a 2016-2019 dually

Those new trucks are really nice and give up a lot by choosing a second gen but they are good trucks! Built tough

I’m in Florida so we never deal with snow Or salt, I’m really not a good person to ask about that only because I don’t deal with it but I Would say some heavy undercoating, and try to not drive in the snow lol

@@floridafenceland1137 I just bought a clean one owner 98 like yours, but I live in the salt belt and I'll be driving it daily so I'm stressin about rust already 😂

I would be too! Lmao yeah go heavy on the under coating

Yes sir it is made by ranch hand bumpers and it’s called their legend series

The Diesel Ranch thanks so much🤙🏻

My pleasure!!

Yes it is!!

I appreciate it man thank you!

@@floridafenceland1137 btw you said that these trucks are getting hard to find they are getting hard to find for sale nobody wants to sell them that's why they are getting hard to find

For sure man no one wants to sell them they are good trucks

@@floridafenceland1137 when they do the regret just ask my dad he had a 01 dodge ram 3500 6 speed he said he is kickin himself for trading it for a new truck the only problem with it was it was 2x4 not 4x4 it was ment more for highway use

Yeah for sure man I’d love to have a 6 speed

Can’t beat these trucks man!

My 99 just rolled over 69k lol

Damn! Idk wether to say drive it more or put it in the garage 😂

Oh nice! An not really man it shifts great, I almost wish 5th had a longer gear in it so my cruising rpm was lower but I have 4.10s in my truck so that dosent help either but I Like the nv4500 a lot

@@floridafenceland1137 you say you have 4.10's what tire size are you running? Actually the bigger tire is helping you with your rpms. Im curious with the NV and the 4.10's what rpm your at doin 70mph?

I have 35s my rpm at 70 is like 2100

Yea see man that's almost the perfect rpm for daily driving.

Yeah I really don’t have any complaints, I think 80mph is 2500rpm which is about the highest I’ll ever run this truck I usually stay around 70 mph which this morning on the way to work I looked and it was like right at 2100

35 inch iron mans

35s no spacers

J/K! 😂😂😂

Lmao never!! That’s the best part!

So I live in Florida where is extremely hot and humid and my pump lasted basically one year exactly, an then I bought another one at the local store which is one perk, I also returned the old pump a few days later and got my money back, another perk, and my new pump has been great so far! So I’m not sure how long they should it will last but I’m still very happy with mine!

UpNorthDiesel 979 haha I received a 2001 2500 24 valve back in March and had 161k miles on it now running 176k with everything in the front end replaced.

Frig off Mr. Lahey! lol I just hit 400k on my 2001

The 6 speed started in 01 I believe, I love these trucks man can’t Kill them

@@floridafenceland1137 I like the 12v better than the 24v's. But no the nv5600 6speed ran from 1999-2005. The nv4500 ran from 1994-2004

Ahh yes you are correct! I’ve never owned a 12v this is my third 24v and I love them, but I do wish it had a p-pump, I prefer the sound of a 24v over a 12 too

@@floridafenceland1137 yeah the 24v do sound good. I like both of them. I want to build a ppump 24v with compounds turbos.

Yeah that would be real nice, best of both worlds!

4-7 inch!

The Diesel Ranch thank you, love the truck btw

Yes all stock

Those are iron man m/ya 35x12.5r16

The Diesel Ranch thanks, I appreciate the response! I have to ask, do they preform well in muddy environments, along with still holding a high enough weight rating to be practical to tow with?

4.10

Yeah like your platinum is sooo badddd lol

I think so, I sold it

They are 315/75r16 so that’s a 35 12.50 basically! I’m about to get another set here soon I hope I’m on stocks right now

Would you buy the Ironman tires again? Does it have to have a lift or spacers n the back or anything. I have a 04 quad cab dually with a flatbed looking to put tires about that size on it. Thanks love the truck

The iron mans are good tires, but definitely not the best, they had great traction on an of road but they were about half gone after 15k miles on my dually but I also paid 1000 for 6 of them brand new so I’m not complaining at all they are great value, personally I probably won’t buy another set of them but I still think they are good tires, also no my rear suspension is all stock and I ran a 2 inch spacer between the rear wheels for a while but ended up taking it off and just deflating the outside tire and bolting it on without a spacer later and that’s how I run my new set as well

315/75r16s 2 inch spacers between the duals

I actually bought it but never did it

315/75r16 basically 35x12.5s

35s

$3500.00

@@floridafenceland1137 thanks man I got it for 3000 pretty decent truck getting ready to pull the trans

I need another one so I may try theres

It actually is 262k no issues

Yes sir

Any lift or leveling kit to fit them 315/75/r16

Yes 2 inch level in front that’s all

Yes

@@floridafenceland1137 dang

That’s awesome Man! I think it would suit you well my friend!

Thanks dude's

Yes sir

6 speed was only 2000-2002
