@@gtavgraphicsdemo6987 the v10 has more torque and hp then the cummins it is the better engine for towing on 2gs, it just gets 8mpg thats why nobody wants it lmao
@@tylerladerach769 8.0l V10 magnum has 450 lb-ft of torque while 6.7l V8 Cummins has 930 lb-ft of torque. Diesel will always have more torque than gasoline engines that's it. But that engine is still impressive for a gasoline one
God i love old 2nd gens. Never was a fan when i was younger but now i love the look and the size of the absolute road behemoths. They really do scoot for what they are to. Even the big 360 put some ponies down
@@IcanDriveIt I would race my old 1978 Dodge flatbed pickup V8 up but she's almost 40 years old she deserves to fucking rest the engine is still factory even after all this time not even any cylinders or valves changed or dropped luckily but yeah she only maxes 60 she hates going above that and it's just age but hey dodge doesn't truly make them like they used to people ever hear of Simon and Simon the two detectives driving the big old truck we got offers for ours it's just crazy how much people will pay to turn them into big ass monster trucks! I love to see your monster trucks but for now, I'm dreaming till the day I own the title in my name from my dad got it from his grandpa for a penny legit shit she will be my monster truck soon I hope
I loved my uncle mikes 96 2500. It was always a blast even to walmart in the back of it we went fishing in it a lot i remember those cheezy crackers and coke we got all over that back seat 😂
Man I've always wondered what q of those would do in a Dakota, I got an RT with the 5.9 and it moves about that fast, maybe a little quicker but it's got the automatic. But hot damn that'd be a rowdy machine with just a stock v10. Love it man, you've got a keeper.
Love my ‘99. Been a fan of 2nd gen’s since I saw that red 2500 that Bill Paxton used in a certain 1990’s movie. And this is coming from a Ford guy, lol…
My uncle has one of these v10 rams I think it’s like a 98 but he’s had the thing ever since I was a kid and I’m 19 now and he still uses it to pull heavy shit or just use it like a trucks supposed to be used
My 94 with the automatic had the Mopar performance ECM. Being a regular cab 2wd it was the lightest truck they put the powertrain into. Not knocking your truck, but the gearing on the auto was much better for acceleration with the 3.55 rear gear than yours appears to be with the 5spd. 0-60 was about 6 seconds in the old 94. If I launched it right, it would dead hook and felt like the truck was rear-ended by a train.
It weighs over 7000 lbs with all my tools and gear... I didn't get video when it was empty. It's a low end torque pulling engine, not a high revving race engine.
Am swapping my 96 v10 to nv4500 I took everything out and I have all the parts needed for the swap except the flywheel I couldn’t find anything even used any idea where to git one i live in Saudi Arabia.
Flywheels are out there, just difficult to find. Used is the only option these days. Find salvage yards on Car-part.com and start calling to see if one has a flywheel and is willing to ship it.
Designed for low end torque like a diesel, 450 ft-lb at 2400 rpm stock. Specially designed intake manifold to boost torque at 1700 and 3300 rpm too. It was meant to compete with the diesel option of the day, and it out powered them in stock vs stock form.
Im sure it's better then it was, but that's probably a heavy truck and weight is a huge killer for acceleration, for a extended cab Long box 4x4 to accelerate as well as a V6 accord, it would need at least 500 horsepower
Designed as a low rpm torque motor, diesel torque (better than 12 valve stock vs stock) and gas engine horsepower (305 stock) without the noise, stink, or over priced fuel.
@@VigorousZinc the top end isn't designed for the high RPM, seems like the usual first thing to break is a rocker bolt, followed by more valve train issues. Just the way it was designed. The tune really opens it up and makes it respond quicker... really easy to get over the redline before you realize it!
@@smgussey so does the tune raise the rev limiter? I was surprised to see it go that high! I also wouldn't want to do that very often with stock internals! 😬
@@9DodgeFan yes, it appears to have raised the rev limit considerably. That's the highest (and only time) I have taken it, didn't realize it was going to go that quickly! I had meant to include in my comments when ordering to keep the rev limiter at the stock setting but forgot.
13sec 0-60 from a roll? Yikes, I was hoping for a little bit better. What’s your wheel and tire setup? I’m guessing not something that would grab real well if it spun that hard in first. Sounds good though, 91oct tune on these doesn’t gain a whole lot over 87 with the low compression. I know a guy running 5psi on 87oct and no issues.
16 inch mud tires at 70 psi does not give much traction. Probably 500 lbs of tools and hitch in the back. And I shifted fairly slow... on my phone editing app I accelerate at 1:16 and hit 60 at 1:25 so around 9 seconds looking at the video frame by frame.. I believe factory 0-60 with the auto was 9.8 according to what I found.
