Nice to see a successful person not flaunting a mint and macked out truck. Always appreciated Mike's humility. God bless brother!
The price is about the same ..... lol
@@SadStuart Ha true! Nothing like paying double for governmental oppression...
I’m a Cummins owner. Most powerful and easy truck to work on I’ve ever had.
Would love to see more of this truck as you build it out!
Amen. I think this truck is much more in line with the average person that watches these kind of videos.
I have a 2500 '04, so love that you're doing an older Cummins! My biggest improvements have been to address the Gen 3 Ram weaknessess: unreliable diesel fuel pump, poorly engineered front end that leads to the "death wobble", and the front wheel unit bearings. So: FASS Titanium fuel pump, upgraded front end with steering brace, Carli track bar, Bilstein shocks & steering stabilizer, then the best move was a Spyntec free hub kit. Just did the injectors and exhaust system. 215k miles & hoping for many more years. Hauls great but I will say is poor offroad due to the front end weight, size, and low differentials. Can't wait to see what you do with yours.
YES, 100% but stay away from Carli imo. They make a decent product but are over-priced and absolutely will not fulfil warranties on parts. Even if they aren't ever installed because they were out-of-spec.
Mike, I'd take the Dodge 24v Cummins every day over the Jeep gladiator.
Yup ! Can’t beat a Cummins !
I’d take 1 of each😂
100% agree.
I am so excited about this build. I have my dad’s last truck a 2001 dodge 2500 5.9 4x4. It has the same color scheme as yours sun burnt red😂
He bought it brand new and now it’s just over 100k miles . I love my dad’s truck and honored to drive it . He worked hard . Served his country well and when I drive it I think of him . Cant wait to see you build yours out and glean some insight and ideas . Press On!
You have a definite keeper. Just keep up the maintenance and it's good for another 200k
Change the fuel pump and when you change the brakes, use Mopar pads. Coming from someone that Purchased a 1999 2500 4x4 new and a 2005 3500 dually 4x4 new prior to getting my current 2017 3500 dually. Never had engine or trans issues out of either earlier model truck. Both needed a fuel pump and front hub bearings by 150k miles. My 1999 was harsh on brake pads, once a mechanic friend told me to use nothing but mopar pads, no more brake issues.
I love my older dodges. Had a 12 valve I should’ve never got rid of but please don’t advocate for people towing 20k lbs with that. Can it do it. Absolutely. Is it legal. Not at all. Have to check the numbers but pretty sure that’s roughly 5-6k over what it’s rated for. Just the legality of things. If there was an accident and someone is towing over what it’s rated for probably wouldn’t be good legally. Love the content keep up the hard work
So stoked for all the overlanding and mobile adventuring content. Building out a 92 Jeep XJ for this exact reason. Keep it coming!
I appreciate your humor. If no one else does. I do.
Thanks Mike, love the content!
Cool content. Keep it coming, always enjoyable and informative.Thanks Mike.
Been waiting for this one for inspiration on my 2001 3500 6spd 4x4.
Mike, All great ideas, however you need to install a mobile communication setup, Ham Radio, CB, GMRS to keep in touch with the home base.
Looking forward to the updates, great little truck mate. Have a safe Easter mate. Cheers from Australia.
Love the truck. I have a '91 12 valve 4x4 for my SHTF rig
I wouldn’t say “people who are on a budget” I would just say practical people who don’t want to finance 1/3 of a house on their least used tool 🤷♂️
I have a 94 12 valve and a 02 24 valve! Can't beat em! Great truck Mike! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Budget is a good thing. Lots of good choices out there. Thanks for the update.
Look at this old sweetheart, she’s just precious!
I got a '97 12 Valve Dodge Ram "3000" that takes the cake over anything ive owned to date.
100% going to get another 12v ASAP. Probably a '98 3500 this time.
Mike, I have a 2004 Dodge 1500 4x4 that I gave to my dad to use. One very important thing to look at is the 4x4 lever linkage that connects the manual lever to the transfer case. There is a known issue where the rubber grommet rots and the linkage falls off. It has done that to my 1500 3 times in the 11 years I have owned it. There are videos on how to make a linage that wont fall off. I would say that is a very important upgrade in the near future so you dont get stuck expecting to have four wheel drive and you dont.
‘95 Ram Cummins Turbo owner here. 5 speed. 136K. Flatbed. It’s epic…I get stopped a lot and asked how much.
This truck is awesome!! 🔥🔥
2018 cummins 2500 deleted, straight pipe, cold air intake ,spare 60 gal tank , ranch hand Bambi killer, mickey Thompson bought it 70k miles, still going 250k. Dose everything we need in the rockies
250k for a six year old truck is insanity.
@donovanchilton5817 I put alot of miles on it each day 108 just to work and home. 650 miles a week is the price for living in middle of nowhere
Love the truck Mike, I’ve owned a 02 dually 4x4 24 valve Cummins 5 sd manual for 14 years, but I think you left some of your viewers out on the details of your cool truck. I wish mine was a mechanical injection 12 valve…..
I own a 05 5.9 3500 4x4 Love the content, keep it up.😊
Thanks for the idea for the back of the truck. I only have 1500 Dodge Ram, hopefully I can find one from the same company.
My twins are masters at body painting,also body repairs! They have their own business! I am so proud of them🥰
2010 3500 dually and a 2001 2500 set as a pop top camper...been running dodge since 1985...retired truck driver, always ran cummins...
That's a beast of a truck...
Love it! It’s an old war horse with upgraded goodies and surprises.
These budget build vids are cool. I like a the idea beater that runs well I don't mind scraping-up with a load of gravel rubbing on a tree or boulder.
Nice truck dude!
Love it. Best trucks ever made. In some ways
What a beauty
Paint job: there's products that you can apply that makes natural patina seal/stand out.
Great rig.
Finally a truck that has the minimal capability to tow Evan's Bucket.
Buckstop front and rear bumpers, Baja design lights, and scheelman seats.
Love the 2nd Gen Cummins!
I had an 01 srw dodge. Great truck, and I miss it terribly. However, there are some serious achilies heels to consider in the second gen trucks:
Avoid trucks with the 53 series engine block, as they crack and fail. Find out if the truck has had the “killer dowel pin” fixed or removed and do so if not. Stud the head if running bigger turbo. Check for broken exhaust manifold. Check for bad intercooler boots.
1998.5-2002 VE / VP fuel injection pumps are not the best. There is a P-pump conversion available, which converts to the first gen mechanical pump. Or buy a pre 1998.5 truck with the 12v engine. A p-pump converted 24v is a monster though, worth the hassle.
There are no true crew cabs, and only 98.5-up trucks have working back doors. The doors use a bicycle brake type cable to activate the handles, they break frequently. Cabs are prone to getting out of door alignment if you’re running a high torque build and constantly hot rodding the truck or racing. They also break windshields and heater cores the same way.
The 1994-2001 trucks have a center-axle disconnect device in the front. It makes the axle weak, and is prone to breaking. You can do a bypass or mechanical actuator conversion. The axle hub unit bearings are also generally trash, get good replacements or do a hub conversion.
The lift pumps on these trucks had problems too. Switch to a FASS or airdog type system.
The 46re automatic transmission isn’t great. The NV4500 manual 5-speed is, but are prone to losing 5th gear. The NV5600 six speed is excellent. New Venture Gear is now out of business, and there are few repair parts available for the transmissions.
The steering geometry sucks, and the components are junk, so expect bump steer and death wobbles. Convert to the 2009+ style tie rod & drag link, and get quality all-metal tie rod ends like those from XRF. Get the steering box brace, and the adjustable track bar too. Get XRF ball joints installed as well.
Expect to rebuild your steering pump / vacuum pump assembly. They are prone to shaft seal failure.
Had all those steering issues on my '01 V8 Magnum. Didn't matter she was lifted with black on black. She was a beast!
This isn't even about being on a budget. This is just cool factor. This is right up my alley with my bricknose f350
That truck has the vp44 injection pump. They’re notorious for failing and is very expensive to replace. In order to keep that pump as healthy as possible I’d recommend installing a fass fuel system. That will ensure you always have adequate fuel pressure going to the pump.
hey Mike idk how your visability is out the rear view mirror or how it will be when you have a tent in the way but look into wolfbox rearview mirror cameras, they have pros and cons but definitely helps see when things are in the way. Run it on my rig and love it touchscreen anti theft front and rear facing camera. Great video.
I have a 1999 2500, and I love it. After 347k miles, it definitely needs more TLC but, as far as any tactical/bug out/prep upgrades for them I'm not 100% sure what will work so I'm really looking forward to the next update on this truck and most likely going with what you do as far as those upgrades are concerned.
Of your dash is trashed there is a place in rancho cordova that now makes replacements
Great all around truck. Be careful with the duals, coming from Alaska it is a fast way to get stuck. I made the mistake of putting a plow on my dually, although great on flat parking lots every time I went on the hillside I spent more time chaining up than plowing. Just my two cents.
Hey Mike, you should look at doing a collab with Daves Auto, his shop and business is booming and will only grow as his channel and possible tv show gains traction
I am building a 2005 Grand Cherokee with a Hemi. I have had it a few years, its a very capable platform and can tow 7200 pounds. At the moment I am chasing down an electrical Gremlin that is apparently one of the common ones, but can be one of 7 different things. It has almost 73k original miles, very fun vehicle.
Hey Mike, ever look into EMP protection for any of your rides? Just curious thanks!
sick truck.
Nice rig, I'm in the process of getting a Project M pop up camper for my F-150. Seems like a good compromise for camping/hauling. And will add something like the Decked drawers for added security. I have been thinking about the old diesel systems ( pre DEF) because my work trucks all have DEF and its absolute junk.
Love the cummins had a couple 24 valve one manual and automatic sold them both over the years currently have a 05 chevy duramax with 180k miles that is currently my overland rig when im not driving my 4runner, but the chevy has a contractor topper and pretty much stock minus the head bolts, exhaust, tires and rims.
Nice training wheels
Put a P pump on that 24v. No electricity needed to keep it running and put a manual fuel shut off on it like a tractor. It makes one of the most reliable pick ups ever made even tougher.
Power driven diesel is in cedar city. I'm going to be taking mine there when I save enough.
First truck, first ever vehicle bought one when I was 16.
Time for a luke clutch setup for that badboy. The differential housing should also get a finned aluminum access cover. You can never get enough surface area surfaces for cooling critical to function power and drivetrain components.
The V10 in these trucks has always been underrated.
Nice truck
You also have Industrial Injection right up the road. Put dodge 17" wheels on it. Be careful tuning that up a bunch without building the transmission to handle it, or the clutch. Man I could really steer you right with that. I have been through it with that ttuck. FASS or Air Dog pump. I have Air Dog, it works good and they support the product. Vulcan can supply the upgraded fuel sending init for the upgraded fuel pump. I built mine, it was very time consuming. I learned about Vulcan after I did it. Anyway... have fun.
Now THIS is a real-world truck
The first thing you need to do to that truck is get a Fast Fuel system so that vp44 doesn’t explode
Please make a build series
If you hit the front bumper bar with raptor spray or any liner like that shoot even plasti dip lol it would be siiick
I wish I would’ve knew that you were looking for one of those trucks. I have two of them with 180,000 miles on them one six speed manual and one automatic automatic as a flatbed. I’ve had them since 04 lots of new parts on both of them. . Don and Donna north idaho
We live on a farm so the tri fold style bed covers just don't work. A company f150 has a revolver roll up but it's got an aluminum base. I've never understood people people who just upgrade to a different steel bumper without a grill guard.
Being a 2001 it's a VP44 truck so it would get an upgraded lift pump #1, upgraded vp44 #2, Tow Mirrors #3 but really kinda of a sudo #1 especially with 3500 hips, exhaust because cummins #4. I would also upgrade suspension if I had the money, Carli or Thuren. I was down the tuner road in the past, I'd maybe lean towards some upgraded hard parts. You're up North so I'd probably lean towards Buckstop bumpers
You should collab with Diesel Brothers on your build! Utah baby!!💪🏽
I love my gen 2 dodge ram
Great looking truck, just one quick question. How many spare tyres do you carry.??
I put a Diamondback HD on my 2011 Tundra (which also has flaking paint). Good truck, dependable, and paid cash for it.
Mike - would you show how you stow stuff in the bed for emergency (e.g. flat repair kit, extra oil)? Currently just using a Dewalt weatherproof plastic toolbox.
7.3 powerstroke I love mine it's on 02 thing never breaks down and the very little times something has gone wrong its something stupid that has nothing to do with the motor itself so that's what I like for pre emissions diesel pickups
Install a moose rated winch capable front bumper. And a rear bumper w locking storage for tow accessories.. no regrets.
I have an 01 3/4 ton, its been a pretty good truck. Stock they are total dogs though, but it gets there
I have that truck. I love it. I haul hay for fun with it.
My first mistake was I thought I needed a lift kit. My first thing done when I got back home was remove the lift kit driving through the mountains I found new degree of religious experience. I was driving in a cross wind of 50 mph.
I have an 01 Dodge 2500 4x4 that I bought new. Truck has 360K miles and factory tranny almost made it to 300K. Biggest problems have been complete rebuild of the front end every 100K and fuel pumps. First factory full pump died with 15 miles on it. Since then I think it has been 5 or 6 with the last 2 being aftermarket high pressure located by the transfer case. The only thing I wish it had is a limited slip diff. I will never sell this truck and will just keep fixing it. It is electric blue.
Ranch, hand, bumpers, best in the world
Nice Mike, what happened to the last Cummins?
Can’t beat reliability of the cummins but gotta say off-road it’s not the best or even on snowy roads. It’s very front heavy, I’ve got a 98 12v and I just bought a steel deck for it. Hoping it evens it out a bit.
if you paint it get a good job done on it. Those trucks are future classics might as well do it right.
I've debated on getting an older diesel truck. I have found an F250 non dually, but not many dodges. Most are from the north and rusted out
If it’s a automatic transmission I would invest in a hypertec transmission pan it allows you 4 quarts more transmission fluid and keeps the transmission a lot cooler that transmission was the week link in that truck unless it was the standard transmission which the 5 speed had trouble with a nut backing off of the counter shift if you have the $ have sun coast transmission build you a drop in Alison 1000 for it
Make trucks do truck things again. Awesome rig and Carli suspension.
I have the same fancy paint job and lightened rear bumper on my dodge😂
mike's poses were out of control in this video
I'm digging this rig a little too much...
Manual or auto transmission?
If it doesn't already have an aftermarket lift pump, put one on.
Install a manual cable to engage the 4x4. Prevents vacuum problems and I used 2wd Low a lot...
Spare parts to carry on board:
Serpentine belt, fuel filter, oil filter, a bottle or 2 of oil, jug of coolant. Bonus if you carry enough oil for a complete oil change. From experience I had a the power steering pump bolt back out on the 1999 version of that truck and had just enough spare oil to make it to a store to get more oil, to then go find a bolt.
Of course the more on board fuel the better.
Hey 👋 love the videos! Just had a question. What do you do to secure your vehicle. Im in a shithole and I don’t want to keep anything nice in my car.
Hey Mike, I’m assuming it’s a 6spd manual? As a former transmission mechanic I can attest to the fact that the automatics were garbage w/ the torque converter being a weak point.
Someone needs to sponsor him to build it up alittle next step built up trans and maybe some engine mods like a better stick turbo some new injectors and injection pump nothing crazy
@PowerDrivenDiesel
650 HP 1300 torques sound about right?
Do you still have your 3rd Gen that's lifted?
Impeccable flake on that fancy paint job
All these little boys are running Toyota's these days. Mike knows what's up.
My Corolla made it through Montana in the middle of Winter. I also sure don't roll jits like a boy 😂
Good old early 2000’s diesel!!!!! Can’t be it! No DEF bullshit to deal with!
I added a comment about six hours ago and it’s gone, where did it go?
Are those K02s?
90s diesel drw. Now your talkin my language
Cummins always on top. Mopar in general but Cummins 👍🏻👍🏻
Hopefully you got a good lift pump on it to save your injection pump
❤
