Best thing to convert rust is phosphoric acid. Metal prep or concrete etch, pick your poison. Turns it into crude parkerizing, like grandads 1911 from the war. Wouldn’t go back over it with rubber, oil is better. But you could throw some black tractor paint on converted rust without too many issues down the line. Trust me on rust, I live in Illinois 😂
Chiming in from the rust belt of jersey here. Can confirm what he said. Concrete etch and some fluid film or used motor oil works great. U can do further prep/paint or powder coat if desired. But I just use fluid film
Hey Sam, I didn't know that you numbered your buddies. The guy buying the flat bed is a buddy numbered in the single digits. I'm a buddy in the 60,000s. I laughed when you said you had the presure sprayer in destruction mode. The oil pan might be a aftermarket that was made with recycled steel. Tomorrow in Ottawa Ontario the temperature will be minus 10F. My 3500 5.9 Cummins has the plain black factory wheels which I like so think the rims you put on are good but the tires are not. I would want some aggressive mud/snow tires on a 4x4 Dodge with a gas engine for very cold starts. My favorite videos of yours are when you do a truck overhaul. I like the quality and reliability you add to the trucks.
Nice project. I just did the same seat repair on my 2nd gen. I agree, the more clean and stock you make a truck the more value it has...in my book anyway.
The tires and wheels are ok. The truck is looking good I used to work at a dealership. All the money we found in the vehicles would be cleaned and divided between the porters (aka) lot attendant. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
On the seat, remove the 4 springs in the bottom, pull that top bar off and re-attach all those crossmember wire things, sit the bar back into place with all attached, then pull the springs on the bottom to latch back. Easier to tear down and put it together than putting together all under tension by tapping it while putting all those things back on.
I'm an electrician so I use my Milwaukee stuff daily. I run them till they die then put them on the charger. I've heard people complain about them but my first Milwaukee original series is still in use. I have 7 year old batteries still working. Not sure if short charging them kills them or what?
I like the stock 17" steelies. Ive had them on my last 2 trucks. I put the biggest tires I can fit on them. I think 285/70x17's off the top of my head.
Glad to see you keep chugging along with the videos. I speak for myself but the truck stuff is what originally brought me here. I’m a old (38) Wyoming boy who loves some diesel truck content. First diesel was an 02 dodge 24v HO with a six speed. Bought it from my dad in 2010 with 60k on it. Like an idiot I traded it in at 100k and got $7k for it 🤦♂️. Anyway keep it up!
Happy Birthday Sam!! Mine's next month. About 5-6 years ago I was using my new 'yellow' drill/driver and the motor sounded like it had a box of rocks for bearings, worse than the one it replaced!! Enough, I'd had it. I got rid of all the yellow, red and blue ones. After a bunch of research, I bought new BOSCH everything! I'm so happy I did! They have more power, the motors run smoother, controllers work better and the batteries are better. I even have 4 new 12v ones for my guitar shop!! Your mileage may vary, but they worked great for me!! Sorry for the rant, touchy subject for awhile. LOL 8) --gary
My Milwaukee have been good for 3 years so far I live in Colorado they get left outside in the truck and have been fine but the nock offs I bought broke in 2 uses
This is the hey my buddy can weld that cheaper………….and we’ll here we are lots of slag an unnecessary amount of crap that just doesn’t need to be present,nicely done Sam always a huge fan of your channel an your craftsmanship.
The stock look on that truck looks better and those tires look okay but not. Happy birthday Sam. I remember your birthday is the end of January like the 28th or 29th I think
Those rubber floor mats . . . . Mud flaps for your utv rock chips are a bitch Bottom of metal tool box Under the truck battery. Battery tray doesn’t get eaten Rubber washers or spacers Don’t throw away
Hey Sam, I have a set of the 2010 Laramie wheels you can have if you are ever close to me! On a truck when I got them and they’re just cluttering up my shop
Happy Birthday my birthday is the 5th. I use a small steam cleaner to get stains out of carpet. I buy Rigid tools the tools batteries are warrantied for life. Rigid has replaced one battery and put new motor in one drill so far. Ive had other cordless tools 2) dewalt drills 1) Dewalt circular saw, 1) Dewalt reciprocating saw. 1) Makita 9volt drill and 1) Panasonic 12volt drill. The Panasonic and the Makita drills are still good but the batteries are shot. the gears are stripped in one of the Dewalt drills. I still use the Dewalt reciprocating saw but out of 4 batteries I have two are still ok. So for me the lifetime warranty is important.
They look ok, but not It's interesting that's another slt with a 2 piece rear seat. I've only seen one, 1 piece rear seat, same slt trim. Truck is power windows/locks so not bare bones🤷♂️. I will say, the leather looks really good, but those early cloth seats are really comfortable
You never fail to make me laugh😂, I was wondering if you were gonna get rid of that aftermarket grill? If so I'd love to buy it for the right price so lmk.
Those tares look OK but not... watching your video get me motivated to get my 2nd gen back together but its -12 degrees outside here in MN. So maybe next week
I got an 2001 2500 dodge white the nv4500 and the transmission needs rebuild completely my local transmission shop is asking me 1300 is that good price
If you or anyone is selling a 3rd gen for a realistic price let me know. I’m desperate for a reliable truck until i can get my 1st gen fixed. Ps happy birthday.
@@VBELTandSON let me know id rather buy one of your trucks then anyone else in California who wants 25k for clapped out junk lol been watching you since your first video of picking up your grandmas 97 truck.
Never had a problem with Ryobi batteries even the cheap Chinko ones. We call those chewing gum welds LOL That oven cleaner is lye in common terms Sodium Hydroxide in chemists terms. A small drop of that crap in a concentrated form. can eat a hole down to the bone if it gets stuck to your skin. Don't ask how I know, I was just working in the chemical treatment industry. No pain no warning just a hole in my arm. Dang.
Hope that oil pan doesn't have the interior coating that comes off and plugs up all of the oil passages. See DeBoss Garage on that subject. Good job ditching the extension on the impact. Acts like a torsion bar and decreases the impact of the impact.

Yep. That's all rust kutter is, just a expensive version.
Ospho is what we use on Tugboats.

I agree stock looks much better to me. Some changes like headlights make sense.
Just because you asked, I would go with the same stock wheel/tires you used on the green truck build. The projects are moving, great vids.

You might try locking the doors 3 times from the key fob to see if the truck starts with that module.
I’ve learned use a rust cutter the chassis save and rattle can. It’s cleans it rust doesn’t come back at all. Chassis Saver
Great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there

Thank you!
I agree 100% in your decision on that truck
Great video Sam 🇺🇸
Have only had one Milwaukee m18 battery fail. But they have a 5 year warranty

What kind of magic jack is that mine sees a piece of cotton while on concrete it won’t move. You are rolling on rocks like butter
You do know rotating the little worm gear will make it the right size. 😂😂😂😂
Ive got remote start on my early 07
Northeast Ohio this morning is 13 degrees F. With wind chill -2 🥶🥶
Doin a real good job sam
They look ok, but not
It's interesting that's another slt with a 2 piece rear seat. I've only seen one, 1 piece rear seat, same slt trim. Truck is power windows/locks so not bare bones🤷♂️. I will say, the leather looks really good, but those early cloth seats are really comfortable
Like all the odds n jobs mate any chance you could do a bit more close up on the welding / fab work. All the best from Shropshire.
damn man not the rust promoting rubberized undercoating come on gotta use that woolwax/fluid film black undercoat
Happy birthday to you and your son buddy! And also those tires look ok but not 😂
You never fail to make me laugh😂, I was wondering if you were gonna get rid of that aftermarket grill? If so I'd love to buy it for the right price so lmk.
Yup, got a remote start for my 3rd gen. Aftermarket of course, brand name of Autopage
I’ve had a few of those aswell that brand works well. But never seen a factory one
@@VBELTandSON I thought it said Astroflex on there? Dodge used that brand from factory you suppose?
@@BossVoss39 looks to be heavily connected into the factory wires
Those tares look OK but not... watching your video get me motivated to get my 2nd gen back together but its -12 degrees outside here in MN. So maybe next week

Gotta make money some how hah

Aww I thought it looked better with the black rims 😬

No pizza cutters 😂😂
Those tires look ok.....but not. Happy birthday to you and your boy.

I got an 2001 2500 dodge white the nv4500 and the transmission needs rebuild completely my local transmission shop is asking me 1300 is that good price
Could have been some rare coins that would have paid for the truck
Still in the shop vac if you want to look
Those tire and wheels look ok but not. I actually don’t mind the plain steely wheels on it haha.
Where did you get your cushion and seat cover? Both from Amazon? Looks for a set for a 2001 second gen
Amazon
Tires are ok for selling , but to small

Those tires..they look okay?.. but not 😅
Didn't think I clicked on a VGG video....

That flat diff cover has got to go!
