The nylon mesh you pulled off the upper radiator hose was actually factory. Helps prevent rub damage. The zip tie, though, wasn't. The entire upper intake manifold was painted black. Those came bare aluminum, and look great that way. The actual sport grille would've closed that gap above the bumper. However, considering the front bumper you put on pretty much negates it and actually looks pretty good.
*WOW! WATCHING THIS FROM BEGINNING TO END WAS TOTALLY ENGAGING! I had watched the videos as they were uploaded, but seeing the whole unbroken series as ONE! Wow.*
The difference between different antifreezes is that some are compatible with aluminum and others will corrode aluminum -- and the different kinds are NOT compatible with each other, and will form sludge if mixed. EDIT: You know how you keep buying used cars and discovering they have corroded leaking heater cores? THAT'S WHY USING THE CORRECT COOLANT TYPE MATTERS.
I love the complete series format. Reminds me of what Power Nation TV has been doing with the hour long complete videos, although shorter episodes would still be nice and the longer full series as like a finale so we have the option to watch either format.
Their good sturdy trucks, we even have some over here in the U.K, although how people fund the fuel as petrol is so expensive over here is beyond me. It’s cost Winston $105 for a full tank, here in the U.K that would be at least double 200 pound plus for a full tank on a Dodge Ram.
Yes I remember when this particular model first came out and Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear a British T.V car programme test drove a Dodge Ram and he pulled a freight train in one. God know how much the freight train weighed probably over a hundred tons and the RAM pulled the thing with ease. That’s what I love about American trucks. Their not the most technologically designed trucks but their sturdy , that use tried and tested engineering and mechanics💪🏼
I hope you keep this concept of a channel going :) will take time but will slowly but surely grow an audience, especially if you don't have deep pockets to fund an exotic supercar or an iconic ricer like some of the other channels do to grow hype/subs (literally buying subs through the car), will be a slow but steady ride to the top. So keep at it and hope to see new videos pop up :)
"You can't be an American and not own a truck." _[looks outside at his Toyota hybrid]_ Spoken like a true immigrant, Winston. BTW, "DTE" means "distance to empty".

Winston, get some overalls for working on cars. I bought three sets and what a difference. I dont have to worry about getting them messy and the fabric is lighter so you dont sweat as much as when you wear jeans.
@@matty6848 Lived in LosAngeles for a while, i enjoyed it. The excitement of being able to do anything any hour of the day. It is the city that never sleeps. Back on the east coast but i miss the dry heat sometimes.
It's nice truck. I love those American trucks. Even if its in bad running condition. Its visually more than fine. And if you're a car guy and love working on cars and especially if you got it cheap as well. It's amazing guys, congratulations.
Sadly...nowadays you might want to put a plate over the Cat. With the ease of getting under that truck and the widespread theft of catalytic converters, that thing is a prime target for scumbags.
Yeh same here in the U.K. cat converter theft is massive. They even do it in broad daylight by slipping on some hi viz vests so people just assume their recovery guys and they literally rock up in a street, climb underneath people’s cars and steal the cat converters. A big high American truck like that over here would be rife for having the Cat stolen as access to the underbelly is so easy.
Those "Jesus Christ is lord, not a swear word" semi- trucks are a funny icon of our part of southern california. Its literally some wealthy eccentric dude who owns a trucking company that parks a bunch of them on freeway over passes as if it changes peoples minds. He lives in a rather liberal part of the area funny enough.
Me: [sits down to eat breakfast and continue watching the Redneck Viper transformation] Winston: “You see those rat turds flying through the air?” [slo-mo rat feces flying] Me: 🤢
Every scene of your repairs gives me nostalgia for the same exact repairs that I had to make for my 1999 Dodge Dakota. The evap purge fuel canister seal and hose connections, I had to make my own rubber fitting for the plastic lines, and the power steering pump with its leaks and the Lucas power steering fluid stop.
For some muffler leaks, good old Kentucky boys in my home state used to split a tin soup can down the side and strap it over the leak with a couple clamps and then permatex the ends of the can and the cut. If you were lucky, they even removed the soup label from the can!
That lucas oil power steering stop leak has stopped a leak for 7 months in my '98 ram and 5 months in my '02 monte carlo. I didn't think it would work either, very surprised and happy that it has. Also I love how that truck looks with that brush guard. Cool video.
With that music playing while you are working I felt as if I was sitting in a swanky bar watching the TV seeing a car repair program. So I had a couple of whiskeys and it fit right in. Seriously though, we used split soup cans wrapped around a hole in the exhaust pipe then clamp them down.
As I understand it the different coolants are primarily like that due to the different types of plastics and seals. Some coolants can eat thru the seals and hoses and such.
It’s incredibly hard to get U.S citizenship probably one of the hardest citizenships to get in the world. I’ve heard it can take up to ten years. My friend lives in Texas and is married with children to a American girl, he’s been there 5 years now and still hasn’t got his citizenship. He’s still on his green card, so he can work legally but has to get it renewed every year and at any moment they could cancel his green card which they won’t as he’s a solid case. But just to get a reply from immigration can take months. He will get it citizenship eventually but it takes years. And they want to see everything as proof. Your bank accounts, savings, mortgage details, outgoings, work history, letters from your boss, character references the whole show.
I had a 2001 ram 1500 quad cab shorty 2WD w/ 5.2L & manual transmission. I used it to pull my racecar around, but it was gutless on hills. Had a fire in the heater because a rat had taken leaves & pine needles & set up home in the intake to the heater core. That's where the blower resistor is. Located,. The resistor lit the stuff up one day... I got it put out by pulling the resistor and squirting water up into it, then did an attempt to clean it, but it still stunk for a while. My dash was cracked pretty bad too, but that's these trucks... All of them. The bumper is similar to one I had, mine was a ranch hand without the grill/headlight guard. Also check if the rear diff has one of those covers like the trans pan too. They're not so good. Look up Banks engineering videos on them.
When you pour anti-freeze hold the container wide side to the filler neck (like a book you are laying on a table) and it will let the air and fluid flow properly and not splash all over the place.
Great video guys. Motivated me to eventually change prop shaft bearings on my 20-year-old Land Rover, although a drizzle bound driveway in Scotland doesn't have the same appeal
What is smog is it like a yearly safety test cars and trucks have to pass? We have something similar in the U.K a annual M.O.T. Any car that is over 3 years old has to be tested to make sure it’s mechanically sound to be driven on the road. They test your emissions, tyre tread minimal 3 mm tread, lights, indicators, break pads and disks etc. Don’t know if smog is the same?
You have the wrong grille for that bumper style... So a few years, the Ram had a grille with a curve in the bottom part of the grille. The earlier ones had the straight bottom.
It’s called monitors and you have to do a drive cycle. You can lift off the ground and do it sometimes it’s quick but sometimes up to 100 to 250 miles for all monitors to complete. When the monitors don’t complete there’s a huge issue. Could be ECU.
Love seeing Winston embrace "Murican" culture lol. Great video as always!

I like watching people working on cars. Facing the unknown adds more exciting to it. Nice video/story.

I learned something! Thanks!
My ford came with Pink antifreeze and the only Pink antifreeze I can buy is for Toyota cars. This makes no sense at all.
@@Redavisunwind The color doesn't matter... what anticorrosive chemicals are contained does.
@@Redavisunwind: That's fine. The color indicates the chemical formula. It doesn't have to be brand-specific.
No way Shawn. you know I genuinely did not know that at all. For the first time in my life at 43 I now know the difference for engine coolant😂👍🏼
EXACTLY what I was hoping for! Keep this channel going. It's the best.

I always liked the stock Ram grilles of that generation. It has a presence.

Posting video every 6 months won't get there, though.
@@clamato422 unfortunately true.
Yeah, I thought the channel was dead. I really looked forward to the once a week updates. But then it went silent for like 3 months 🤷🏼
Yeh I’ve just subbed via Winstons and C Milks other China channels and really enjoying the content, especially on Winstons other cars.
"You can't be an American and not own a truck."
_[looks outside at his Toyota hybrid]_
Spoken like a true immigrant, Winston.
BTW, "DTE" means "distance to empty".
Sorry Winston but it’s against the Constitution to display Celsius units in a pickup truck.
Or in America 🇺🇸 even
@Rob Mack only freedom units
The mask lol!😅

Watching them drive around in 4 wheel drive low hurt my brain
Yes it's back! Great channel boys. Hope it keeps going strong.
I'm glad you're making car videos here in America instead of being tortured by the CCP or robbed on South Africa
Having a 4x4 pickup is necessary to take advantage of all the freedom available to you in America. Well done !

Sweetness you Guys are the Kings of the Road
California charges a lot on pickup truck registration. Pick up trucks are always considered as commercial.
Nice to see a new video on this channel. I hope you guys are able to keep this up.
The sportiest grill of all
54:54 "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is a song written in October 1962, with lyrics by Noël Regney and music by Gloria Shayne.
Good song 😊
Before Winston sang those words I was doing the same in my head😂
I watched the entire video....fantastic work on that truck! The grill and front bumper combo looks awesome, great choice. Keep us posted!
Thank You Winston And C Milk.
Great Video Thanks.
Such a frigging cool truck 🤩
you can clean the O2 sensors with carb cleaner and a cotton ball or Q tip , be very gentle when cleaning because of the plating
Don't give up. Good lesson. "More" from The Sisters of Mercy. Cool!

The front end didn't look too bad. But now you can ram into things with that new bumper.
Yeh all the homeless bums on skid row in L.A😂
You can really 'Ram' into things with that Dodge now
MacGyver would be impressed Winston! Well done-you certainly know cars!
oh wow long form content, thanks guys!

Best part of fixing on the fly….. saying IT WORKED!!!!!
That braided fabric on the coolant hose is factory.

"gonna make it N'ta" nice to see you still got some "home grown" in you, boet... as for the truck... it's so American-over-the-top...gotta love it!
2022, just found this channel today, you guys should promote it more! Great stuff and turns out Winston is a secret American.
Nice job guys
This is a very good looking truck! And you've got a Dodge Ram! Wicked!
Awesome job guys! Thanks for sharing.
The red and black looks good.

Welcome back! Hope you guys have been healthy. Your content was missed.
This was a great video guys! The truck looks pretty good now. I really enjoyed seeing all the work pay off in the end.
Winston, give it up and get started on your application for citizenship. Where else are you going to feel more at home than right here?

Loved watching this! I just picked up a 2002 2500 V10! I’m so interested in it so I’m trying to find out everything there is to know. Nice truck guys!
1:11:18 Rather appropriate for that exhaust system: _"Hey now, hey now, now, sing This Corrosion to me"_
Different coolants are for different seal and block materials
The nylon cover you removed from the upper radiator hose is installed from the factory, it keeps the AC lines from rubbing on the hose.
Yes- I've got the same thing on my ram.
I had a 2001 ram 1500 quad cab shorty 2WD w/ 5.2L & manual transmission. I used it to pull my racecar around, but it was gutless on hills.

hey winston , some places do not require all that smog stuff like Cal. , Cal is the most smog controled state .
What is smog is it like a yearly safety test cars and trucks have to pass? We have something similar in the U.K a annual M.O.T.

Now how's Winston's Trans-AM coming along.
Doors and fenders are back on, I’ll post an update soon
Love the new grill !!
I was wondering, what happen with this truck. I am impressed with the smog heroics you go thru... Cheers
That is a big, mean truck. You did great.
My dad used to have a blue 2nd gen single and a half cab cummins when i was a kid.
You have the wrong grille for that bumper style... So a few years, the Ram had a grille with a curve in the bottom part of the grille. The earlier ones had the straight bottom.
Just had time to watch today, but it worth every second! Great video as always, congrats guys
0:36:45 -- Not the coolant, but the hoses themselves. Dodge uses hoses and cables coated with soy-based plastics. Rodents think it's food.
