I was the same. I thought the 6.0 was the best until I bought my 2nd Gen 24v. Nothing sounds better than a 12v or 24v Cummins. You just can’t beat that sound anywhere else.
I work in a Cummins shop- it's among my favorites. I also love the sound of a big cam 855, or an N-14 Mechanical....especially when the jakes are applied. The old L10's sound good too in a low geared dump truck.
Made the mistake of selling my 97 12 valve 5 speed last year. Finally found one today that came up. 96 12 valve 5 speed that im trying to get. Wish me luck lol
to me stacks werent as loud outside the truck, had a stack on my 12valve and now just a side exit with a 6 inch tip 4 inch exhaust, sounds much louder and deeper. The stack sounded louder in the cab just to it being closer to me.
@@Sunde53 because the sounds shoots straight up in the air. Where a normal rear exist echo's off of everything I've changed my exhaust 100 times the best sound is the factory location of course with 5 inch all the way back it has something to do with the longer the exhaust the better it sounds idk
Boa noite. Gostei do Vídeo.lugar lindo estrada Boa.interio.casas lindas. Vc dirigi bem camionete linda painel.grande câmbio.deitado. Ronco turbinada.. para bens que lugar é esse..
I've got a 24 valve. I've grown very partial to how the smaller inline diesels sound when compared to their V8 counterparts. Wouldn't mind figuring out what exhaust you're running. It makes that 12 valve sound amazing!
How long do you wait until changing the rear differential and front differential fluid? Also the crankcase fluid? Just curious because I just bought my first 12 valve fully restored
Here n the Old Continent that kind of engine is usually found in an actual truck that can carry about 5x what the RAM can. Or a tractor. Comparing straight six turbo diesel to (Mercedes) V12 naturally aspirated gasoline is apples to oranges, but I gotta say I like both. One is for work (torque) and one is for luxury. I guess I'm kinda diesel guy tho, a bit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eQkh_ksTgcg.html
Been looking into building one from the frame up because I want a 1st gen so bad, and buying a clapped out one that has rust holes all over it will still run you like 10k because the owners of these are on meth or something. But, gotta say, love these trucks.
Wish my 12v sounded that smooth. Mine has a whine that nobody can find but it’s driving me nuts!!!! Can’t even hear the turbo. Mine don’t have a bov either 😔
What size pipe and length combo? I want to do a 4 inch into a 5 inch pipe to deepen the sound. What’s your best estimate on length and diameter? ( Example) 8 feet of 3.5 inch for 6 feet Into 5 inch For 4 feet” etc..
How's the L/100km on this thing? I wonder how often do you have to refuel something like this and how much does it cost in Europe, considering our fuel prices are higher than the USA's. I'd love to own one like yours in the future and hope you can answer me, and great video.
Im going to try to answer this as best as I can, but I will make some assumptions. A standard way of measuring in Sweden is liters per 10km, converting 1 liter per 10km to miles per gallon will give a result of 23.5. My guess is that this truck gets somewhere below that, I will hazard a guess at 1.5 liters per 10km avarage, which is somewhere around 16 miles per gallon. A liter of diesel in Sweden costs roughly $1.50 and a gallon holds close to 3.8 liters, which gives us a price of $5.70 per gallon. I would guess this truck has a 35 gallon tank, so a full tank would cost about $199.50 and would get you about 560 miles. Hope this was helpfull.
@@PowerToolism thanks for this conversion math this was awesome too read! $199 dollars that's crazy lol side not these trucks have been known to get high teens, low twenties for MPG. 25 isnt out of the realm of possibility with one
plenty of dealerships who import american cars/trucks here in scandinavia. here in norway i see dodge and chevrolets pretty often. im sure that in sweden theres way more compared to norway
@Teddyman95 A second gen swap is just dropping in a second gen style manifold and bigger turbo to the same location it was on the second gen trucks. Obviously sound is a big factor when people do these swaps.
