Another drive home in a bargain vehicle that is in sketchy condition hoping you get to a gas station and the parts store. AAR at it's finest. I think that truck is a great buy no matter where you live and a real bargain in a lot of places.
Yeah he's lucky that back brake did not burst into flames because with the heat and that brake fluid being highly flammable it could of been real bad I know people who had that happen to them the brake fluid got on the hot brakes burst into flames and by the time the fire trucks come the cars were gone up in flames but I'm sure he will learn one day but he's real lucky it did not happen with that truck.
@@subarulegacy4203 On the west coast. Clean 2wd single cab short beds with V8s? These trucks didn't sell well when new, but they make great show trucks now which is why they are sought after by truck enthusiasts.
Never been more excited for an RUclips video. I grew up with a 97 360 with the same exact specs exact mine has the tow package. My grandpa sold it me for $1500 and has only 100k miles. I drive it all the time and pulls like a beast.
Congratulations Randy on that sweet 2nd gen score! TPS sensor for sure. My '97 did the exact same thing. Of course, I would go with factree dashboard and wheels. I can't wait to see the progress on her!
Stay far away from those cheap glue on covers. They will bust all of the mounting tabs that support the bezel, radio, and headlight switch. I learned that the hard way when I had to replace the heater core on my '97. I had to fiberglass repair all of the damage that cover caused. Just bite the bullet and buy the Mopar replacement for $300 and it's done right.
@@BoringIntrovert1982 I guess it depends on which one you go with. I bought the Coverlay brand one for my Cavalier that had this issue and it looked and performed great. No warping, didn’t interfere with my buttons or knobs, or airbag. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
Those 2nd gen are really nice, got one for $600 around June, all I needed was to replace the crankshaft sensor and it was running like new besides shifting issues.

Replace your Idle Air control valve it's located on the back of the throttle body, super easy, had the same problem I replaced the valve and it runs perfectly now
I recently bought a 99 ram 1500 extended cab for 1000 from a auction too. 168,000 miles, had to replace the sensors on the throttle body and the ABS/speed sensor. rust free but need some tender loving care on the paint. did replace dash cover and instrument cluster bezel.
I hope you keep this rig forever. 2nd gens in red are my favorite... thanks to Twister. I've always wanted one of these 2nd gen 1500s in red. Whether it's a single cab or extended, it'll still be a Twister Ram to me :)
I saw one once passing me in the parking lot of a local Value Village and it was beautiful it was probably a 2500 but close enough big and long and it had the V10 Magnum
They make proper replacement dashes for these, it's a bit of a job and more expensive than a cover but this truck deserves to be properly fixed, especially after she gets a coat of fresh paint.
Love this red Dodge. I got a 95 5.9 with 277,000 miles on the odometer, still runs smooth and amazing almost like it only left the factory last week, heck it runs even better than my 03 hemi, albeit it has some steering slop. They're great trucks and they pull pretty well. Take care of it and it'll take care of you and never let you down... save for getting like 13 mpg lol...
Randy,if you'll run them tires at 12 to 15 lbs air pressure for a few miles,you might work the flat spots out. Worst case you'll have less bobble driving it.
Just when everyone told us you can't find a deal anymore. You get the (non-rust) red Dodge Ram for $1505, that would be a major score where I live in East Ohio. Looking forward to the rebuild. Way to go!!!
Randy, what a great find. I think that truck will be a great second work truck for you. If you go on Wish site you can get a hitch for cheap and maybe a seven way, that is where I got mine for my truck and it works just fine.
Can't wait for the next video on that truck and yes you got a real good deal don't worry about other people saying to me there just jealous that they didn't get the good deal. I will love to see fix it up
Dang that's awesome. Can't wait to see you clean it all up and get to doing your magic. I turned off the add blocker to help you a little. Thanks Randy.
Randy, I think you did really good. The body and interior are in great shape, just paint it and it will look really good. I look forward to the next video.
Pretty nice find.... Some minor maintenance and you have a great truck... Back in 99 that was basically a top of the line Ram or Dakota for that matter... PW,Tilt,Cruise,A/C and Infinity Stereo only a couple other options left Leather and Rear Slider and Hitch
Good score! Look for a receiver hitch at pull a part. I want you to fix this one up and drive it for a while. I would gladly watch a series of videos on this one and I am sure I am not alone on that.
When you live in the US and you get a truck like that for $1500, tell yourself you're fortunate. You won't believe the crap we in the Caribbean get for way more money if you do the conversion rate! That is amazing.
Those older Rams are good looking trucks. This one is well equipped. Should be an easy fix and a very nice back up truck. Slap on a Macco paint job and she'll be a looker for sure. Keep 'em runnin Randy.
I had the same truck it lasted me a long time with very little problems. I sold last year still running strong. The short box always rides a little rough short wheel base...
Ran pretty well for a truck that's been sitting for 6+ years with 6 year old gas in it! .....with it being that low on coolant it has to have a leak somewhere usually the ones I buy that's out or extremely low on coolant always has a leak or ends up having bad gaskets/ burns coolant
Randy, I think you got a great pickup there! I would have been glad to pay just $1505 out the door for it, and with a little minor work and a repaint, you cant go wrong.
Cool truck. Santa's Workshop is at 12.1k subs. Glad you introduced us to him. Just watched his last video on the Caballero. Can't wait to see that finished.
good find. you can get a dash cap that will cover up the holes in the dash. check the intake for oil inside the air runner. they tend to blow out the gasket in the bottom of the intake. a little TLC and it will be a great sport truck. i would keep the current wheels on it if you plan to sell the truck. just clean them up.
Whenever there is a demand for something, the price finds a way to go up. A lot of people have found out about these auctions and due to this, the days of finding cheap and serviceable vehicles are over. Since these auctions are no longer best kept secrets, you're literally just using a different flavor of Ebay Motors.
Main thing is truck has no rust body looks good interior is nice well worth fixing up and possible back up truck.will look good when you do your makeover good luck Randy
You did good randy and I salute you for helping out Santa like you did,that was a real stand up thing to do alot of RUclipsrs wouldn't help another man get started like you did him and his content is good
It’s a nice Ram, keep it as a spare Randy, they are good trucks, I used to have a 2001 Ram Sport 4x4 with ext cab, same red colour as yours, makes me miss mine watching this video, thanks
I am a Chevy guy but always kind of liked the look of this gen Dodge Sport. With the short bed, monochrome paint and some slightly wider than stock tires they look real good. Of course this one is red. Randy likes that LOL, but I'm just not a fan of red vehicles. Should clean up nice and with some brake parts, barking exhaust and a paint job she'll be sharp. Look forward to seeing this one come around. Take care Randy.
A note about that stopleak you found on the radiator, you can tell by the rusty coolant and the the layer of rusty dirt all over the engine bay that she has overheated and blown coolant everywhere, something i like to look for when i but vehicles
I have a 1998 dodge ram 5.2 v8 2x4 single cab short bed these trucks fall apart around the motor 😂 these trucks are great i highly reccomend anyone whos thinking about buying one . Truley go for it ! You wont regret it !
Randy you got a hidden gem on your hands and don't let anyone tell you different. That truck the way it sits is a 3k truck all day long. To find a rust free module fully optioned out plus having the 5.9 which by the way was an option on those trucks they usually came with the 6 cylinder engine or the 5.7 318. I know you're already aware of all this considering I've seen your instagram. But definitely don't tow with that bumper it me be ok at first but you will bend it after a couple of toes. All in all definitely glad you are saving this one. This is the design that saved the ram from extinction and I know you will do her right. Thanks again for all that you do. Stay safe and keep on trucking. Lol yes pun intended.
Love the buy and drive home videos. Definitely ditch those wheels, horrendous. I think you are heading in the right direction with the duals, cleaning and respray. When I saw it at the walk around, I knew you were keen on it.
Nice snag Randy! People want Trucks, no matter what condition. I've been looking for one myself for a while, and everything right now is just so dang expensive for a used truck. Great video Randy!
Man, I miss doing this just about 6 or 7 years ago. For many years. Especially old 80s and 90s gm trucks, and my old dodges. Especially 2nd gens.i can't wait to get some money in order again, so I can do this sort of thing again, so nostalgic!!
$1500 in bid plus fees, full tank of $2.91 no ethanol, plus a battery and brake fluid on a running and driving cold air 1999 Dodge SWB 1500.. I’d say that is a great deal Randy! Good work sir, especially feathering two feet and filming! - with a wheel cylinder fix and maybe a windshield- that’s at least a $5000 truck without a paint job & it’ll be low maintenance once the initial things get fixed! Great find, put her back on the road where it belongs.
Excellent video. For safety reasons I recommend getting a frame mounted class III/IV hitch for it if you plan on pulling your car hauling trailer. Otherwise the bumper will fold and destroy that decent looking truck.
Hi Randy the truck looks good I put a magma flow dual on my 05 hemi and it sounded awesome with a k cold air intake . I also had the factory 20” polished aluminum wheels on mine and BFG tires . Looking forward to the next video .
A 1500 5 speed was a rare find when new. Now they're a needle in a haystack. I'd love to manual swap my 97 318, but the cost doesn't justify the means.
@@BoringIntrovert1982 I bought my Truck working as a detail guy at a dealership in 2004. They gave the guy $1200.00 for it. That’s all I paid, she still runs strong and looks good. Yah the truck was ordered. It even has the window sticker still in the glove box. I drove it daily til 2012. Never let me down. Now she comes out of the garage every now and then.
@@90scarguy Dang! You scored on that deal! I paid $3,000 for mine in '08 from an older gentleman in NC who "didn't need an extra truck". She only had 87k on her then. At 225k now, she's still my daily. All original powertrain.
nice pick! Check out LMC trucks for the best OEM dash replacements, they use plastic better than OEM and it doesn't go over the broken plastic it replaces it. Also check Lone Star Mopar channel for in depth how to replace!
I love the 99-02 ram sports. I have a 99 with the 5.2 and 5 speed manual. Realistically, that truck will end up needing one of everything lol. Good luck with this project!
Another drive home in a bargain vehicle that is in sketchy condition hoping you get to a gas station and the parts store. AAR at it's finest. I think that truck is a great buy no matter where you live and a real bargain in a lot of places.
Makes great content, besides thats what you expect when you buy a vehicle from a *SALVAGE AUCTION*
I like these year Rams. It was a good buy at what he got it for. He could easily flip it for 5,000 with the stalling and brake issues sorted.
Yeah he's lucky that back brake did not burst into flames because with the heat and that brake fluid being highly flammable it could of been real bad I know people who had that happen to them the brake fluid got on the hot brakes burst into flames and by the time the fire trucks come the cars were gone up in flames but I'm sure he will learn one day but he's real lucky it did not happen with that truck.
I'm a mechanic I love these trucks let me know if you need any advice or help I just completely restored my 01 ram(almost completely restored)
It's your alternator
I don't know what it is about watching people drive old abandoned vehicles home from their grave but it is my favorite genre. Great video Randy!
Randy you did well on this one for 1500. Short bed single cab Rams are tough to find and are going for decent money now at least on the west coast.
Dam ill have to start sending them there i find them all the time where u located do they go for good prices
@@subarulegacy4203 On the west coast. Clean 2wd single cab short beds with V8s? These trucks didn't sell well when new, but they make great show trucks now which is why they are sought after by truck enthusiasts.
Yes that’s like a 5k truck here in California.
Well I've got a 99 sport, 318 5 speed maybe I should sell it then
@@kennethkoontz5036 That truck would sell for a pretty penny
She’s a keeper! Use that one as a backup to your other truck. It’s always good to have a backup plan. Nice score Randy

Reminds me of the old days. Where you would buy something and cross your fingers toes and eyes. Get it home on a wing and a prayer. Classic Randy.
On those second gens it’s very common to have your idle air control valve or you throttle position sensor to go bad. Both inexpensive and easy to fix.
Oldie but goody that just needs some TLC. GREAT FIND RANDY
Congratulations Randy on that sweet 2nd gen score! TPS sensor for sure. My '97 did the exact same thing. Of course, I would go with factree dashboard and wheels. I can't wait to see the progress on her!
You can get those plastic replacement dash covers on eBay. They fit real good.

I had the 4x4 quad cab version. I really loved it. Had nearly 250k miles when I sold it, and it was still running.
My 2000 is a 5.2 stick 230k miles still runs great
Randy that looks like a great truck. I think you got a great deal on it. I can't wait to see it painted. It will look like new!
Randy, I think you did really good. The body and interior are in great shape, just paint it and it will look really good. I look forward to the next video.
GR8T Deal @ $1505 - that year/model was always my fav. Can't wait to see how this one turns out - definitely a KEEPER

Randy. I have a 98 quad cab Dodge. I was with my uncle in 99 when he bought in Florida. I now own it. 131K. 5.2L.
Love that truck!! You dont see to many of them with the 5.9 around anymore!! Id rehab her and give it to my son when all said and done.
Great shop truck!! I'd keep it at AAR Headquarters for parts runs, pizza pickups, etc... Can't wait to see this baby fixed up!!!!!
They deliver pizza..why drive a 14mpg truck to get that? And he can get parts delivered on a commercial account.
Love this truck. Put a snug top on it with a tow package and exhaust and it will be perfect
Those added fees are really starting to suck big time!!!!!
$505.00 fees on a $1000.00 truck? That's downright predatory.

For the falling headliner, 3m makes a spray adhesive that works great to hold it back up. I did it to my Chrysler 300 and it hasn’t fallen since
Didnt work in my grandmas dodge dakota :(
