@ 10:52 I work with a lot of guys from my dads generation that are exactly like that. It always amazes me what they can pull off. Let’s hope their skill rubs off on us!
If anyone know anything bout driving a standard dodge diesel. 1st gear it's for starting off with a load on your truck. If you don't had a load, you start off in 2nd gear.
Love the authenticity David brings! Most truck reviewers don't even know how to back a trailer let alone change a spark plug or unclog a fuel filter. This is what pickups were made for.
@@kayossmayhem it’s a 5.0 v8 according to their overview video with it. Agreed, idk why but the 5.7 always felt so strong. Then to be replaced by the 5.3.... 🤦♂️
A 5.7 wouldve smoked all of em. I know cuz ive raced my 99 Tahoe against a 454 2 door like that and smoked em pretty bad. And i had 70k miles on my whole truck more than he had.
@@justinmartin8887 my stock 24 valve eats 12 valve for lunch. If you’re looking for durability, that kid has a truck to last his grand kids. Speed just ain’t it, especially with a manual transmission.
@@joeguy297 some twelve valves, I’m sure. And yes, the manual does make it slow. But it would be extremely naive of you to say all twelve valves are slow. Because the p pump 12 has a lot more potential than a vp44 24 ever will
Was he starting in second gear like he should have? Hell even third gear starts would’ve been better than spinning through all the gears and bitching about not hooking up.
Locker would be good for more extreme terrain. But LSD is not so bad one needs to complain. Stock Dana didnt fail these axles except with none other than axle seals. Worst part about them. Make you wanna slap the momma of the guy who designed them like that.
What an awesome video. Great job guys. I think I may have a new favorite TFL video. These guys are the best. Keep videos like this coming. Love this series.
David seem to have pulled off a pretty decent paintjob on that Chevy given his equipment and the fact that it was a barn job! It's the perfect work truck paint job, not too bad, and not too pretty either! It looks nice but won't break your heart if you scratch it! ;P
That Chevy 3/4 ton with the 454 was something else. It pulled that tree (yep, that's a 454 for you). The check engine light came on. (Yep, that's a Chevy for you).
Trucks today have better fuel economy AND way more power than those back then. Everybody wants to do LS and coyotee swaps, not some old cast iron big block that gets 11 mpg and less than 300 HP.
@@wildbill23c it's all about proper maintenance and driving my guy. Why would it fail? 2001 suburban with 250k and a 2016 silverado with 45k, so I guess we'll see
If you didn’t know, an easy way to read that service engine soon light on the 88-95 obs trucks is jump the ground and diagnostic terminal right next to each other with a paper clip. It should automatically flash 12 and then the code which is causing the light to be on. Obd1 is very primitive but gives a general area of what’s going on. My 454 tends to throw the light at highway speeds for a faulty o2 sensor, slow down some and it goes off
Interesting. My diesel does that when I work it hard be it hauling a large load of wood up a hill or going "a little" over highway speed...maybe a lot over.
@@kanegrimley8641 what do you base that on? Gas has the better off the line torque, where as the diesel needs the turbo to build boost before I truly begins to make power.
@@The_Crasher-xj4el Uh not sure you got that right. The Dodge has far better torque then the chevy 1500 gas off the line. Horsepower take off is another story. The gas truck has less torque so it spins the tires less at take off but it accelerates faster due to its horsepower advantage compared to the diesel before its turbo kicks in.
It is amazing how far trucks power and torque have come. The big block 454 has less power and torque then a 5.3 (the 5.3 makes 383 torque, but with easy to find e85, it makes noticably more).
Kinda strange they would think the go to truck to pull a heavy tree out of the way would be the 454 big block. I'd think the cummins has twice the torque of the chevy BB plus he said he had work done, so maybe even 3 times the torque.
On all these off-road tests, the biggest variable I feel everyone always misses is tires. You guys should keep a spare set half decent off road tires so that the differences in the trucks themselves are showcased more than the differences in tire tread.
In all honesty im not brand loyal so all the trucks did pretty awesome i agree with that ugly brush guard on that k1500 though kills that good looking front end on the obs chevy take it off
Wow I assumed the Cummins would’ve dominated but that Dodge didn’t perform well. You’d think a diesel would smoke the others and even more easily with upgrades.
The content you guys produce with David is unlike any other. Great video guys!
Agreed whenever I see a video with David in it I'm stoked
Let's do more videos like this.
Your comments just gave that man a raise. Lol
David is the best he reminds me of my pop
David makes the videos
I love these videos with David. He teaches these young guys some "every guy" tricks. Keep him within the TFL plans because he's fun.
Racing, 4x4ing, and clearing logs...just needed some BBQ and Beer at the end
I love that black Chevy but you won’t be able to pass a gas station with that 454
I put the Holly Sniper kit on my old one (1975) that had a carburetor, and it helped. Still is bad though.
My dad said the same thing when i bought a 20yo cadillac with a 472ci
You'd be surprised how easy on gas the 454 is compared to the 350
It needs a Gear Venders overdrive.
@@kerryrwac needs a lot more than that. the 4.0l v6 in my Tacoma makes more power.
Can we stop a moment and talk about the crazy headliner in the Chevy 2500.
David loves headliners!
I think I have to agree with Blaze “gross push bar Tommy”!🤣
It's far better than those Softoppers they keep putting on all those trucks.
David is a great addition! I’d like to see him around a little more often. 👍
To bad the 454 wasn't a 1996 and newer vortec like Tommy's. Then you'd be making near 300 hp and 420lb ft
To the what?
@@scarhart53 I think all factory numbers are crank
For reference. The 92 has 255 HP and 405 Lb Ft. 1996 and newer have a bigger roller and way better breathing heads with a bump in compression.

This is one of the most fun videos on TFL! Thank you David for being a great host, mechanic and all around good dude.
Would love to see '96 Vortec 5.7 in the mix
The white 98 has a 5.7 vortec - so same thing.

@@tahoeboy8658 lol Ive raced a bunch of 5.7l and 5.3l with my 5.4l and I smoked them all.
Zach NICE! What year is your Ford?
Can we just appreciate how that dog could not be less amused during that race?
Panty dog? Between that and the Tommy Impression about automatics, this video was perfect!
The Cummins must just be hilarious to drive or ride in. Incredible torque and acceleration for a second, three second pause, repeat.
This was fun, my two favourite generations of trucks ever made!
I like how he restores a truck, then instantly uses it as a work truck
That Cummins would’ve won every race if it was automatic... however the trans would’ve gone out by the last race lol
I think it’s a 12 valve too so not the fastest 🤷🏻♂️
@@joeguy297 it’s not a stock twelve valve. Which means it might just be

This was one of the most fun and entertaining videos you gentlemen have produced. I'm glad there were no injuries.
I want to go hang out on the yak ranch... you guys have a lot of fun there!
Love the white Silverado. Beautiful dog as well ❤
Need to get 460 ford
A milestone was achieved today. First time ever 4 hi was used on any TFL channel. Congrats
Great Video guys! Parts of it reminded me of the Like a rock Chevy Truck commercials from the ‘90s!
Classic & bike channel are becoming the better of the bunch.
Nice video when is the 65 f100 gonna go off-road
Nice work on lifting with your backs instead of your legs. One day you might be lucky enough to have had 3 herniated discs like me!
So many people do that😂
Lol them young fellas obviously dont have to lift heavy things for a living.
@@duncdunc76 Yeah I’m a younger fella than them and have to lift tires for my living
I think we can all agree..... when David shows up the videos get better
Limited slip or locker in the Dodge! ASAP!
That much torque, you want a lsd not a locker.
Locker would be good for more extreme terrain. But LSD is not so bad one needs to complain. Stock Dana didnt fail these axles except with none other than axle seals. Worst part about them. Make you wanna slap the momma of the guy who designed them like that.
That 454 is amazing
that cummins is perfect in every way
Hearing someone say they got a 2nd gen 12v cummins that clean for 8k sounds like they're from another planet
Yes! That's a fun video!
Not like the many - many repetitive videos Andre is making with the Raptor parked on some fake rocks!
I’m having trouble believing that dodge didn’t get death wobble on those drag races lol
Honestly, I feel like I would buy one of these over newer trucks. Brute power, no luxuries, all utility.
That was a blast to watch. Plus a Blaze sighting is always great. He’s growing so fast.
Fun to watch and looked like a good time.👍
Towing comparison with the 1500 dodge too! Loved watching that 2500 Chevy work!
3500
Yay, the rear bumper of the black 454 Powder Keg works well
I like the new cordless chainsaws, but for me... Stihl 044 is all I use. Got used to it when I was fighting wildfires.
What an awesome video. Great job guys.
I think I may have a new favorite TFL video. These guys are the best.
Keep videos like this coming. Love this series.
That Dodge has an open rear diff.
That's funny my dad's 94 dakota has limited slip 2wd
Was shooting dirt all the way to the finish.
He spent all that money on power but forgot he needs to get that power to the ground effectively. He Should put a locker in and buy some decent tires.
Which car do you like?
I like the dog

Everyone is saying it I will join in by saying the videos with David are awesome such a cool guy.
An update on the “cel” for the 454 would be good.
Laughed the whole way. Made my day. Thanks guys.
this is gold. TFL should just dedicate a channel for a diy reality show with ya'll going on adventures with each other. don't forget blazey.
Back when America cared about a quality product, instead of fuel efficiency.
Trucks today have better fuel economy AND way more power than those back then. Everybody wants to do LS and coyotee swaps, not some old cast iron big block that gets 11 mpg and less than 300 HP.
@@JonBecker81 yes, trucks are way more reliable today with their 10 speed transmissions, turbos, lightweight materials and complicated gadgets.
@@barrybambmessagedeletedbyy7467 and a lot of older trucks weren't reliable either

The black truck is coming along nicely. Good looking headliner too.
that camper shell weight might've helped the 2wd race!

That Cummins should be starting in 2nd gear and kickin butt in 2hi, 4hi, reverse, uphill, and downhill
Should’ve brought Steaks and Beer! Fun Times!
Perfect! Let’s eat!
Veggie burgers are the worst. Damn dude I hate both of those things -Tommy
Ahh, that was great...you guys are crazy!
You guys should take the F-100 up there
I guarantee that 1500 would have pulled that stump up no issue.
The drone shots help put the terrain into context. Beautiful country there.
I’d take the Cummins any day over the gassers lol Cummins is a way more capable of being a powerhouse.
Well duh there is no fair comparison between Cummins and a 90s GM V8 💀
Dodge is slow.
@@kanegrimley8641 what do you base that on?
Gas has the better off the line torque, where as the diesel needs the turbo to build boost before I truly begins to make power.

@@duncdunc76 that’s what I meant. I was doing calculus hw and didn’t think about it too much 😂
You trade a lot of speed for a lot of fun when you get a stick
Trailers..... need a loaded trailer drag race ;-)
I agree with Blaze. Loose the push bar and the topper.
All three of them are solid trucks and it will outlive any newer trucks lol
Petition to see more of the black 454 👍👍👍
It is amazing how far trucks power and torque have come. The big block 454 has less power and torque then a 5.3 (the 5.3 makes 383 torque, but with easy to find e85, it makes noticably more).
Blaze is getting so big,he does look like he enjoys the ranch
@11:38 "That's what she said...."
Reminds me of drag racing four wheelers at the farm
Another fantastic David video. Always enjoy your time out at the ranch. Always!
I grew up with a good running 2nd gen dodge ram 1500 with a 5.2. I plan on getting a 2nd gen dodge ram 1500 with a 5.9.
Loving the David, Tommy, Chase trio
You should call the track the YAK A LOT RACEWAY.
I love videos with David! Always a good time!
And that's why battery saws suck. Can't easily bring power with you unless you have a power inverter and wait 20 minutes.
Kinda strange they would think the go to truck to pull a heavy tree out of the way would be the 454 big block. I'd think the cummins has twice the torque of the chevy BB plus he said he had work done, so maybe even 3 times the torque.
Nice old fashioned real-world testing between friends. Good stuff
On all these off-road tests, the biggest variable I feel everyone always misses is tires. You guys should keep a spare set half decent off road tires so that the differences in the trucks themselves are showcased more than the differences in tire tread.
The kid with the Cummins should learn to double clutch.
Wish I could get my 95 1 ton 6.5 there. Be kinda fun to see
Most impressive thing in this video is that chain saw. Was just looking at that same model and this helped make my decision.
Get a gas saw you won’t regret
454 ci and only 235 hp, engines have came a long way.
yea 80's and 90's engines pretty much made junk power due to emissions forced on them.
But yes Tommy that bush bar is the worst lol
OBS are the best
All Tfl drag races need to be run through yak turds. Loved it lol!
In all honesty im not brand loyal so all the trucks did pretty awesome i agree with that ugly brush guard on that k1500 though kills that good looking front end on the obs chevy take it off
This was a fun one to watch thanks fellas! Davids the kinda fella ya want around when the going gets interesting👍
Yup kase is going to need either limited slip or lockers for the differentials to get better traction on these drag races or even to go off roading
Awesome video!
A real chainsaw would have been able to cut up everything cuz you didn't hardly cut nothing on a single tank of gas
Love the ranch videos!! Keep em coming and y’all stay safe out there
That looks fun as heck
Hey Tommy who would think you would get stuck in a traffic jamb out there!!!
Daaaang. That was a sick race
Wow I assumed the Cummins would’ve dominated but that Dodge didn’t perform well. You’d think a diesel would smoke the others and even more easily with upgrades.
this channel is so fun, all the guys are so friendly and awesome!
That 454 is sexy though
