I appreciate you appreciating clean stock trucks.

"the new dodge, the rules have changed, And the world of trucks will never be the same again" dodge 1994

I've got a 2nd gen manual I was about to put up for sale. Then you started this series and made me rethink that plan.

You literally need more subs. Your videos are so crisp and informational. You and Chris fix are my favorite RU-vid channels.

u need 2 million subz

Being a Canadian it's always refreshing seeing how clean your rigs are!

I finally found a great Gen 2! I love it!

Literally a perfect second gen in my opinion those walker Evans look so good on it! 🔥

Nice touch on the upgrades while maintaining the true 2nd Gen character of the truck!

I just picked up a 2001 5.9 just like your truck only with a 6 speed manual 137,000 miles. Right out of a time capsule, it is clean. Can't be happier. Thanks for sharing.

Love this. I'm trying to get a 24v Gen 2 myself soon, this just gives me more inspiration!

Love your videos! This really makes me want to dive head first into my 12 valve and fix the body and do all the suspension upgrades!

Thank you! I’ve bought an 02 2500 and the previous owner slapped a 5” exhaust with a 10” tip. Been window browsing exhaust and lift kits for the 2nd gens. Will be on the lookout for the Carli suspension video! Haven’t seen many videos about it on RU-vid on the 2nd gens

Really love the look of your 2nd gen. Your videos are great even for us V10 guys! Planning out some engine and trans maintenance for now, but hope to get my 96 about the same stance as your Cummins. Keep up the vids!

Love these kind of builds, absolutely beautiful truck!

I don't know how you don't have more subs. These videos are perfect in every way! Love your content!

I’m not even a minute in and I can’t wait to follow this. I’m wanting to build up a 2nd gen in about a year or two, god willing

I love how good quality all these videos are. You’ve been making me really want a second gen lately too. Keep up the great work!

you always do things right, just the right amount of wheel "poke" proper tires ect ... amazing !!

Best looking truck ever made. You made it look ever better

That thing is really nice! Great job on the build.

I also have a 2001 diesel. Mine also is automatic, two wheel drive, long bed. Just turned 52,000. Like new. Love it. Just doing maintenance, keeping it original.

Definitely more 2nd gen content! Just picked up a 2nd gen

Looks perfect brother. Slickest 2nd gen I know of. Love it 🔥👍

How does this guy not have 1 mil subs. His channel is great. New favorite channel

I love the truck man you get such good trucks and take such good care of them and I can’t wait to see where you go with this one

I just got a ‘99 and I’m doing the same things in a different order. Run the overhead on that engine, 50K is usually a good time and it shouldn’t move anymore if you set it now. I’ve got new control arms, full synergy steering, a 4th gen steering box, and track bar conversion in boxes in the back of mine right now. Good info on the sway bar and springs. I’ll probably copy you on those and whatever you swap the leafs out with. Coolant hoses and belt next as mine are crusty! 6 burnin’ and four turnin’, great video and awesome truck!

I've been looking Into buying a 2nd Gen, definitely getting one now

I just got my 2021 TDR calendar, I see your 1st gen dually pictured for April, that’s awesome

Id love to see an in-depth video on what parts to buy to upgrade the ride quality and driveability on these trucks.

This thing looks sick! Great video very informative thank you!

We need a garage tour.!!!

Just picked up a perfectly preserved 2nd Gen. Bought it to flip. Found your channel looking for detailing tips and products. just may keep the truck if I watch a few more videos @justdiesels !

Cummins for life!! Great videos bud!!

This thing is so sick! I’d love to pick up a clean 2nd gen next as well

Keep up the great videos bro! One of my favorite channels for sure!

you should include a parts list with links. If possible. Great Video always love watching these!

The 2nd gen is looking great man!

Beautiful truck. 2000 24V here, clean Florida vehicle here.

Wow gourges truck bro... phenomenal work you've put into it and upgrades 🇺🇲💯😎🤙

Cleanest 2nd Gen I’ve seen by far!!…you’ll never find one like that here in the islands…Aloha 🤙🏽

1998 12 valves do have the sway bars too. I upgraded mine.

I cant believe how CLEAN it is...its so nice to see these ol' girls still in Original shape and not butchered for Truck Pulls or some HS Kid getting ahold of it and squatting it, destroying the wiring harness or doing some shade tree performance crap to them...keep it classy. Beautiful rig. Wish mine was that beautiful...

You need more subs you’re videos are so high quality and you have the sickest and cleanest trucks.

Taking out the silencer ring on the turbo is a must haha

Man that’s a beautiful truck

Clean. I’m building my 1998 Dodge Ram 12 valve. Just got my Method 305 NV HD rims. Just lifted front end 2” now time to pick tires. I like how your tires look. Not sticking out like a Monster truck. My wife has a 2015 TDI VW Touareg. I would like to do upgrades on that.

I have my 98 gen2 5.2l gas manual. Pennies on the dollar compared to buying a new truck or even a recently new used truck. Just fun to work on. I had the crank shaft sensor wire go out on me while in the desert. Luckily I was able to coast 9 miles all the way down hill to the highway. So I'd recommend replacing any sensor that, if fails, will halt your vehicle. Even the pre and post cat O2 sensors would be good to replace.

this second gen is outrageous

Nitto ridge grappler are amazing in the snow highly recommend them

Wow amazing looks brand new

Love the truck and the content brother. Subscribed!

Beautiful truck my friend

Really good job 👌🏻looks great

Dude, nice quality cedros man. I followed you on the falling hammer 🔨 and just found your Chanel here

Wow nice 2nd gen. 👍

You should try the Watts linkage for the rear axle, keeps it centered and located without reducing ride quality.

I’ve watched your vids in the past, don’t know why I never subscribed. Gorgeous truck! Now subbed.

I’m out of the Ford world and recently sold my ‘08 F350. I’m about to buy a ‘95 3500 4x dual rear so I was looking around for information and found you. I’m also a 40 year camera operator here in SoCal. Your videos are very well done. Much respect. Your trucks are beautiful. I didn’t think there was any one that took better care of their trucks than me. I was wrong. You are crazy, but wear that craziness as a badge of honor. I’ve watched every one of your vids in the last day and a half. Would love every bit of 2nd Gen info you can put out. As they are my favorites. Thank you and hope your channel does very well. I’ll be watching.

Awesome vid for an awesome truck 👍 love your vids keep up the great work 💪

Sweeet! Dodge has definitely changed the game many times over. Original 4x4 truck 1946. The truck that needs no road. Power Wagon. Dodge trucks of all shapes and sizes served our great nation in combat. Chrysler was the sole source of Tansfer cases and standard transmissions for all full size american trucks. New process gear. Making Chevy and Ford 4 wheel drive over a decade later late 50's. First turbo diesel, fully boxed frame, Exhaust brake, Extra cab and crew cab etc... I finally own my dream truck 2015 AEV Prospector power wagon i bought brand new after owning my 2003 Hemi 1500 4x4 for 12 years and 112,000 trouble free miles. Sold it to my best friend who still drives it today. Mid 70's Dodge Big Horn Semi's are awesome trucks as well.

Look into the fleece power flow lift pump. It's more expensive than the fass and airdog but I really think it's the best option. No external pump, no need for a modded drawstraw or sump added and good for all the power a VP will make. Also it's not so much keeping the injectors happy but the having the VP fully cooled and lubricated with 14psi or more.

just letting you know you are filling from the clean side of the oil filter. pre fill thru the smaller holes so that all of your oil is filtered and you dont risk anything getting thru! great videos tho, keep them coming!

Nice mini badge keychain! Where could I find one?

My dream truck is the Dodge W200 from the 70's. I HATE modern looking trucks, but these 90's 2nd gens look pretty slick aswell. Not too round still kinda kept the square style.

My god that truck is beautiful, why do they not make trucks this beautiful anymore and where can I get my hands on one of these puppies 😍

Stoked on this build man🤟 -(98.5 12v 2500 5speed short box quad cab here)

would love a 2nd gen, but dont want to fork over $25k that every hillbilly in Texas thinks their rusted out shitbox with 400k miles is worth "no low balls I know what I have"

this is an awesome channel. just decided to rebuild this exact truck i have owned for a long time but has been parked. how much lift on this truck? First thing i would like to do. After complete fluid change

Need a recommendation for cab lights with a wire harness for my 2000, thanks, Dave.

Clean rig man!!! Need to clean up my engine bay.

I also just bought a very clean low mile 1999. Same truck but a long bed! I would love to get those wheels or something very similar.

Absolutely love and admire your video/photography of your trucks just everything about it perfect I wish I had your talent. Keep doing what your doing man and if you could link the products you put into it that would be awesome!

Super Clean Truck

Really love the vids man!!

My rear blocks on my 2nd gen are 5 5/8 “ tall, what thuren coil springs do you think I need to level it out ? Thanks!

We gonna Need a lot more content from that 2nd gen cummins bud..

You just made My whole night Thanks for all if the info. Ok I have a Truck was giving two me on The Title it just say Make and Model. 99 Dodge Ram 1500 V8. I find out it's a 5.2L and I been putting so much Money out over the years to get things fix and got scam left-to-right out here in Atlanta Georgia nothing got fixed at all

Damn bro truck is bad ass.

Hey , this is the same truck I have. 99 Ram 2500 diesel. 203,000 miles though. I’m original owner. Only difference mines 2wd. Mine Rides like a Cadillac. How did I do it. Installed 1,000 lb service body on it & overhead rack. Then put 1,000 Lbs of tools in it. Rides smooth as Glass !

my pops got a 96 dually turbo diesel laramie ;) its soooo nice

Do you have a video that details what maintenance work we should do before thinking about upgrades? If you do it would definitely be helpful.

Love the video man! Beautiful truck. Im in the hunt right now for a second gen, low miles, one owner BUT, looking for the all leather with heated seats with the dodge ram stitching. Yours is cleannnn!

Wow that’s a nice truck right there. I’m so stoked you were able to build your dream truck. I just bought a 1994 dodge 2500 12v cummins long bed single cab 4x4 manual. I’ve owned the truck for about a month. So far I haven’t had to do much I just orderd valve springs govnor springs and a new turbo as well as sum front end parts🤣 the front end on these dodges are so junk. Both mine and my dads start to wonder when you get past 20

Love my 2nd GEN💯

Great video as usual 😬👍🏻

Didn't do the bypass oil filter system? I've always liked the 2nd gen looks over the 3rd gens.

Beautiful valve cover.Where did you find it??

Cool you have I think the 10 year anniversary valve cover? Of Cummins B-series in dodge chassis

I have a 2wd 24v second gen do you have any videos of what to upgrade for them I know they are different

Which suspension do you like more? Thuren or Carli? Since you have both

you make me miss my 1999 forest green sport dodge cummins!

So, how does she ride? We are dying for an update!!!

If you haul with it keep the rear sway bar. Thats just me tho. Really helps with tracking

What kind of dash cover fabric do you have on? I would appreciate a link to it please. Your truck is super cool.

Fantastic videos, love the clean, non-smokey vibe of your channel (pun intended). I'll take your silencer ring if you still have it lol. I want mine back in on my 1998.5, 3500. Also, will the sway-bar work for a 2WD? I run a service bed, so my truck is a bit heavier than stock, and the current ride is absolute trash. This will be the third complete front end rebuild since getting the truck back in '05...it just keeps eating bushings and joints.

I cant believe they discontinued those wheels. Best looking walker evan wheel.

I’m a third gen guy but I would daily drive that second gen (the way you’ve upgraded it lol) no problem it looks awesome. Plus that 24 valve 5.9L Cummins and thuren suspension 🤤

The front you put the 2” springs and shocks, the back you just added shocks. Can you get hub to body specs for me? Looks a little less than level which is perfect IMO.
