12v cummins pure sound! 

I love my truck! I built this truck how I wanted it and I love every time I get behind the wheel ! Lol

get one. i’ve had mine for a month and i love it. maintenance is just like most vehicles but performance stuff can get pricey fast.

Do it! It's worth it lol. That's why I have... well get at least 1 hha.

I have had my 97 since 07. And love it

I have a 94 Fummins! It’s something different cause it’s in the shop most the time.

That's not surprising 18wheelers and automatic's now too

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 I heard in my location, a lot of drivers of new semi’s tell the same, their rigs are all automatics. I don’t know if companies still can buy brand new, Kenworth, or Peterbilt with manuals.🤷‍♂️🤔

I know right!! That's why I have one!!!!!

I love the way this truck sounds!! Thank you very much! thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

Hahah glad I could help convert someone!!! Hahahahha thanks for watching. !!!

I love that 12v sound!! Sounds so.... good....!! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for that. I have looked into those. And being my truck has the older style dash I have to pull my dash out to change it the newer style you can changed it with out pulling the dash. So I'm waiting for heater core or something in the dash to need replacing when I change mine out lol. But thanks for the info. And thanks for watching!!

Hahaha thanks!! Love the sound!!!

Thanks!! I have 4 inch exhaust that goes in 7 inch stacks 45 cut stacks. I was going for the big rig sound with the 5 speed lol hahah thanks for watching!!!

Haha yeah I know right! But it is old faithful!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh yes...!!!!🤣

Thanks!!!!!!

Hahahahha very true statement

Yes it is!! I love mine!! Thanks for watching!

Hahaha thanks!!! Yeah my mount is a custom made bracket. My bracket has a flat piece and a 2 by 4 that screwed to the floor and it has a 90 bracket from the floor with 2 braces coming up from the bottom to the back. It's really sturdy. And heck yeah man restore it!! That will be awesome definitely post videos on it I'd like to see it!! And yes mine is a 97 2500. 60 front 80 rear 3.55 gears im running 16 inch wheels with 33s right now until they wear out then I'm going to 35s

​@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 sorry for the late reply! The notification got lost in the feed I guess. Sounds like you got a great truck spec yourself! I think I can visualize your CB mount too. Looking at mine I should be able to make a similar modification and get it ready for my larger CB. Ironically it's the same one you have installed. About the restoration...I definitely want to do it, but I'm a bit unsure where to start. Firstly there's the immediate maintenance issues and repairs like new rotors, clutch, 5th gear fix and such, but someday I'd like to go really deep and pull everything apart, sandblast the frame rails, cab, bed, and repaint everything. Send out the engine for a total rebuild with forged parts, completely new wiring...the works. Eventually I want to make it into my main (small) hauling rig. Perhaps even the truck that I can retire with someday! But the total bill for that...I don't want to even guess at right now. Baby steps. I'll definitely post some videos of what I can do myself though, probably on a dedicated channel! Definitely want to keep mine alive as long as possible. This specific generation has its flaws, but it's still special.

Honestly I have the stock injectors hx35 turbo. I have the 4 inch exhaust into 7 inch stacks. Hell yeah man body can be fixed that's a sweet set up!! I really want a 3rd gen 4 door but I want to build this truck first lol

Thank you ❤ 😉😁

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 you're welcome 😊 😘

Very true. But will out pull a ford or chevy any day of the week and sound good doing it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah they are. I got lucky to find what I got.

Nice!

I wasn't trying to Rev match I was just playing around. I drove 18wheelers for 2 years I know how to Rev match. Thanks for watching

Thanks! I did the swap awhile ago and it was the best thing I ever did to this truck. I have been thinking about 4k springs. It's mostly stock everything right now. Thanks for watching

​@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 If you go with a 4K gov spring. You will need to upgrade valve springs

If you got a heavy right foot you will

@@matthewmattison7642 If you don't, you can float the valves above 3200. Springs are cheap compared to the alternative

🤣

I've never played that game would like too!

Same here!!! 😍🥰

I love that sound!! Lol. I'll tell you. You will love having one. I have had this truck going on 9 years now and was one of the best buys I have ever made. Thanks for watching!

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 I hear ya man. I had a 24valve and kick myself for selling it. Got to get another. I loved that truck, it was rough in the rust department but I drove it more than my brand new denali duramax lol. I sold it right before my dmax went to the dealer for 4 months for a def tank. Should kept the cummins and sold the dmax when that happened lol

Wasn't hard At all it was heavy! Hahah I did the swap in a weekend and took my time. Once you get the auto out of the way and take the flex plate off and throw on a flywheel and clutch you just cut a hole in the floor put the new Trans in and hook up your peddles not hard.

Hardest part for me was cutting the hole in the floor. Unbolt auto Transmission take out put 5 or 6 speed Transmission back in and swap pedals easy. It's just heavy but won't hard at all did it in a weekend

Yeah. Use to have 20 inch wheels on it and now I'm paying the price for it..... all of my front end had been shook loose. And broke parts. So it's alot better now I have it way tighter now than it was in this video but yeah man dodge does have Supreme steering hahaha

😭

It cost right much to fill it up but I have a camper and a gooseneck trailer I pull with it so I need it but before I had all of that I daily drove this truck yeah its probably not practical but it's alot of fun!

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 I just can’t get over how damn expensive they are. A 90’s model truck seems to be going for $20k-$30k!

@@andrew5184I picked mine up for $5,300. 0 rust and no major body damage too. It’s got a fully intact dash and the interior is good too. She just has a hydro boost problem and the transmission pan gasket is leaking a half quart every 3 days. That’s why I got her for so low. She was a farm truck and the previous owner didn’t want to sell it but his wife didn’t drive it anymore since he got her a new Jeep. You can find gems. They’re just hard to come by.

It's a 97

Suspension was loose from 20 inch wheels it has been fixed now

All 2nd Gen dodges are like that. Mine is too. They get loose on the front end.

Alot of hard work but I guess you could call it that lol. Thanks for watching

I have same truck it decided it wanted to be a stick shift and auto

Hahahah that's a great idea!!!

I drove 18 wheelers for 2 years. Had to add that too! Hahaha

Hahahha naw!! Got to be loud!!! Hahahah thanks for watching!!!

That's for high hp!! Lol I did the 5 speed swap and just havnt takin it out yet

Yes we do. 🤣

Thank you

Should be the same bell housing for the 99. The swap is very easy. It's just heavy lol. But with the 99 being a 24v you might need to check on the computer situation. Mine has no computer for the engine. I don't know if a auto computer with affect the engine if it has a 5 speed but hardest part for my swap was trying to find a donor truck but you can do the swap without the donor truck you just have to find the pedals and all. But it's very worth it!! Trust me!! Good luck 🙂

Thanks! It's really not alot. I have the adjuster with attitude on the pump with a zero fuel plate profile. I have a crazy Carl's cold air intake with a 12 inch cone filter. That pretty much it. It's mostly stock truck. Thanks for watching

Yeah. Did the 5th gear fix. And swapped out the aluminum bracket between the Trans and the transfer case to cast. And put in a 450hp clutch. Should have fixed the issues. I just like the idea of is something happens I can atleast try something lol

Not on a Dodge, kbittor. An auto per year is all they need 🤣🤦🏾

@@scubasteve7946 My 5th gear just went out on the motorway last week... It's a Dodge.

5th gear fix was super easy to fix on mine. All you have to do is remove the transfer case take the tail housing off and you slide the gear back on and tighten your gear hold nut back up. I bought a lock off of ebay that slid on the tail shaft and holds that lock nut from backing off and put it back together and no more issues. And you don't have to remove the Trans from the truck

Is this an issue on the 24v?@@vacountryboylifestyle5097

I'm going to tell you. It was the best I ever did was swap it to a manual. Love it

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 How hard was the swap

It's actually a heavy duty 4 speed with a low technically. It has always grinded from low to 1st gear but after that it doesn't have to be dubble clutched. So that's why I had to dubble clutch that first shift

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 ohh nice, cheers mate.

Thank ya!!!!

My truck might not be the fastest truck but it will run forever. So I'll take reliability over speed any day. Thanks for watching 😊

🤣

It's the same pcm. It's a 97. 12v. No computer for the engine. It runs the same as it did with a auto. Just alot more fun lol. I bought a 95 12v that had the nv4500 drove it home. Swapped the Trans and the pedals and that was it. Sold the rest of the truck almost for what I paid for it and the auto Trans that all most paid for everything I did in the swap.

Tranny swap did the same on my 01 well worth the money

Oh yeah. Music to my ears!!

Yes it is. Thanks!

stock gov springs

Yes. But I swapped the auto out for the 5 speed

Hahahhaha not forsale.

Oh yes it is!!! Haha I love it!!

Sweet! I have 4 inch turbo back that goes into 6 inch stacks. The cold air intake has a 12 inch cone filter. That's how she sounds like a log truck lol. Sounds like a cool swap you got comin along!! Thanks for watching!

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 thanks mate I’ll take note of that

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 what timing are you running?

I'm running the stock timing for right now

I have stacks and all the windows open. I have 4 inch pipe from turbo back into 7 inch stacks angle cut and a cold air intake

@@vacountryboylifestyle5097 what do you have done along the motor?

I'll tell you. The swap was pretty easy. The hardest part for me was finding a donor truck. You don't have to have one you can find everything but I wanted it all so It would be easier for me. But I did the swap over the weekend. Cutting the hole in the floor was nerve-wracking lol. But it wasn't bad just heavy lol.

Agreed, a doner truck is the way to go you will have everything you need. I'm definitely gonna do the swap if I happen to grenade another trans. So far she's holding up good with the billet flex plate an 3 disc TC.

Yes mine was the 47re and when the Trans temperature would get up on a hot day it would shutter under a load. So instead of sending it off I started looking for a truck and came across one. But it still drove fine and it had been rebuilt with extra clutches. But I was starting to get nervous when I was hauling stuff so I just did the swap. And honestly that was the best thing I ever did.
