- In this video I give a full in depth tour of a 2002 Dodge Ram Conversion Van. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this van while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this van designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Just got one with 95K miles. Engine purrrs like a kitten, trans shifts perfect, 5.2 engine better on gas then a v6 vortec. Aside from rust where the water runs down when it rains on one side, I love this van ! Bought it cheap and worth every penny !!!
"Engine purrrs like a kitten" that's a really weird comment to make
hey, do you still have that van? if you do, how's it r
hows it running now? its been 9 years
@@archechme thats not weird
that's a common saying? lol@@archechme
This van is very cool and functional. I wish I had a van like that.
These vans were in production for a LONG time!!! 1971-2003!!! Had a friend who had an '85 Ram 250 3/4 ton conversion van that he'd let me drive once in a while, That was one SWEET rig!!!!
Watching this is such a throwback! 12 years after this was recorded is insane to think about. Also weird to think that these conversion vans used to be a common vehicle, now they are completely gone.
These machines were awesome. Shame they discontinued them. My only gripe with them was that the front door windows looked to small.
Michael Burke you can fit like 20 kids in them
They’re return is promaster
and the reolacement for it was a rebadged sprinter
ROCKY BALBOA MADE ME WANNA GET ONE.
They stopped making them because they didn't know how to make a van. It did not have a frame underneath it. It was a unibody. And they would literally rust away. I don't people that have had the motors fall onto the road because of some frames rusted out where they bolt to the unibody. Just completely junk. Run don't walk away from one of these Dodge vans
my dad has a 2003 ram van conversion in forest green, but he bought it for my grandpa to ride around in, and since hes in a wheelchair we have the wheelchair lift and the conversion top. It has less than 12000 miles on it. it mostly just sits in our driveway besides when i drive it.
LOL For some reason I find it funny when you say "Power everything"
My family use to have a 1998 Dodge Ram Conversion van back in the early 2000's. we bough ours used though but I remembered we took that van everywhere from California to Colorado to the Grand Canyon. The engine had to be replaced after 75,000 miles but other then that these vans are really great for family road trips.
Does the engine have to be replaced after 75k on most of them?
@@marksusername no mine has 250k and runs on petrol and lpg which is supposed to damage
the engine
I really like conversion van. If I were to drive and travel I would definitely get one. That dodge conversion van is real clean and nice.
@BackyardFLPB they are like regular vans but converted to be like mini mobile homes for long road trips and camping etc.
I had a 1999 hi-top one and it was awesome never had a problem! Had alpine stereo system,TV,VCR,All lights inside,was awesome! Traded it in last year when it hit 100,000 miles for a 2006 Ford Explorer! One down side of the van is it SUCKED in snow!
Any time i see one of these i just remember being a kid an taking summer vacations!!! lol
I love these vans more! Awesome job bro.
I LOVE IT!! its sooo big and spacious!
That’s what she said!
That is my favorite van!!!
I wish i had this beauty van here in indonesia..
Great vids cheers
I have the 2000 version of that. The cool thing about mine is the way back seats fold into a bed!
I wouldn't mind having one of these. 👌🏻
One of my my friends has a 1996 Dodge Ram conversion van. It's a limited edition Sporty Shorty forest green Tropic Traveler :P
I like the ram van i had when i graduated from high school old guy was going to junk it cause no one would buy it so took off his hands for 500 bucks had all the fixing and everything. I just put 1,000 into it for new tires and various engines parts ran like new for 8yrs. till engine died at 306,720miles.
I guess it's the best conversion van you have reviewed.
It looks very comfortable !!
This is my dads old van he collects antiques and he pulled his enclosed trailer with it and he drove it every day he also has a picup now he has a maroon chevy g20 van
This van awsome for long distance trips !

4:27 it doesnt get much better than that for real
i love ur videos
Those conversion vans have the most comfy seats. now all you need to find is a Ford conversion van. and you will have all of them covered.
the 1994-2003 Dodge Ram Van was assembled in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada
I love your video's
The vehicle looks like it is in almost perfect condition.
Probably the only good looking one I've seen in years
Excellent Condition
Hey kyle nice video man. I always enjoy them. Brandon Reeves has a 1994 Ford F250 on their website. can you do a video on it please?
You know what Kyle, i don't mind you put horsepower / torque specs in the beginning like this... i kinda like it ^^
Hey Kyle, could you explain what are conversion vans for people fro, other countries, like me?
nice, looking van. thank, you for you're video. Random vanners. east coast of virginia. 2%
i have a 2000 dodge ram 2500 so cool
Love It one small problemi Live in Michigan
nice car!
@randomrazr GM has 2 conversion vans and the work vans while other companies like dodge and Ford decided to make vans but they are more like boxes you just got to look at them.
@Thunderbolt2005 I have never own a van of any kind but i now dodge has allways been the leader on conversion vans
now see i like how they have the windows switches up front like that ontop of the door in the corner. Who ever thought of that did their homework. By having in that spot it doesn't take your eyes off the road.
Can you do a Ford E-Series passenger van and/or a E-Series conversion van?
Could this be used as a "people mover"?
Gamerboy, I have a 99 that just about as nice you can buy. They are cool and comfortable rides.
Would this make a good first car?
I have a 98 140K motor & trans perfect, rear seat folds to bed, the bad: suspension hard as truck, front end problems, rusted to the frame, but overall, excellent ……
Same here I have one that runs , drives very good. Interior very clean . Problem rusty underneath.
Had mine undercoated first day brand new , still have it 200 k miles now
is it sold?
Saludos para ustedes cual es el valor de la c van puesta AKI en Venezuela?
see if you can get your hands on reviewing a 93 cadillac seville :)
I've watched several of your videos and I've noticed that 96.1 almost always plays Eminem.

What do you mean when you say Dodge ram v8 conversion van? whats converted?
My favorite type of van! Mopar forever!
Vincent D your name sounds vintage with a good vantage point.
@@charliestrawser9770 You literally comment something stupid 10 years after my initial comment...
@@jeepguy95 shut up.
@@charliestrawser9770 Goodbye. Blocked.
@@charliestrawser9770 hey charlie get a life weirdo
Is the dash needle broken?
gotta luv the good ole 5.2 ltr aka 318 cui v8
Are you sure? It sounds like the 5.9 V8
***** It's either a 4.7 or 5.9
JxC, oooh, the Magnum 4.7 V8, the best sounding dodge-built engine in my opinion.
+JxC actually the Dodge vans never came with the 4.7. Your timeline is correct for the trucks, in 2002 the options were the 4.7 and the 5.9, but the vans never got the new engines, so their options remained 5.2 and 5.9
I like it so bad i want to travel with it :D
Greatness.
could you do a video of a el camino
Lookin for one
i think kyle wanted to make sure we got the engine stats
So uh, how much power does it have? :D
I heard your iPhone go off in the video and thought it was mine... lol
I remember my uncle had a 2000 Dodge Ram cargo van and it had a buzzer instead of the chime in this van. That buzzer was annoying
nice
Can you do any Dodge RV
Do the 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 conversion van folding into a bed ?
Yes
Was the TV broken or something?
We’ll start it up show you the engine get exhaust clip and go over the performance details and show u a bunch of the features on the interior as well as exterior
why is part of the engine tucked away?
So that it doesn't petrude too much at the front. Basically to make the van shorter otherwise the van will be quite long. 😉
thanks
does the rear seat convert to a bed, and I don't really like the idea of mounting a tv to the floor... someone could kick it and break it...
l am love this car
my favorite part was when you flipped between squiggles on the tube.
No seat that folds into bed?
I like that's car lts very good beautiful car
@randomrazr they dont make the ram van anymore, its called something else, so yeah they still make them.
It's already showing how many hp it has at the start
OldCar Lover45 must be an editing error
@TheMagicCorner44 But decent torque. That's really what matters.
Supposedly be trading my 2007 Saturn Vue V6, for an 99 Dodge ram 1500 lowtop van with 166*miles what should I do anybody?
Did you ever get your van? I have a 2002 Dodge ram van 150 6cyl.
See a psychiatrist immediately
im in love...
@jameswwe2 yeah it does.
Starcraft?
Woot??
Saludos desde México. Los costos

@CheekyMonkey888 That's because they started making the rebadged Mercedes Sprinter. I personally prefer it; better quality, better engines, more versatile design.
Why do modern cars remove side vents?

Nice! Starcraft did a much nicer conversion than the company that did mine.
What company converted your van?
Nicholas Zhuravlyov Sherry Conversions
