Older trucks/cars are a LOT simpler than today's trucks, not a whole lot of computer diagnostics or nannies, so it'll also get you in trouble because there's no nannies that you're use to. But don't go to crazy (motor wise) you'll be absolutely fine.
@@biggchase69 not really at least in my first gen. When I had issues it was mostly mechanical and electrical issues are usually a lot easier to diagnose.
That comment you made about weather making people forget how to drive, I can relate I am from Canada and when the snow goes away so do people's common sense
Like that in michigan also. Snows and they ether drive to damn slow or way to fast. Accidents like crazy. They need to go to Florida if they dont know how to handle it.
I just bought a first gen 4x4 as my first truck about 2 months ago off of a farm with the clutch out of it. The wait to start light is on the dash above the radio in the second white box from the bottom. To make the steering way better get a borgeson steering shaft and rag joint and ged a redhead steering box. That should help a lot and you could also do crossover steering which a lot of companies make that but I would get it from farfromstock. Farfromstock also has an airbag kit with I think 14 inches of travel but you have to switch axles to a 3rd gen.
I had a 1990 D-350 dually, that thing was a cream puff! Drove hard when under no load, but hook up a trailer with some weight on it, she rode like a Cadillac. Easy to work on, added some bells and whistles to it without any problems, traded it in in 1994 when Dodge came out with the first new RAM models. Miss my old D-350.
Paint the first Gen a plum crazy purple and black it out awe that would be a beast! Nothing better than a 1st generation 12 valve Cummins. Can't wait to see this build
I have enjoyed watching you build all of these trucks. I have learned a ton of things and been inspired by you greatly. I am in my 40's and being inspired by you is a little backward I think, lol! I should be inspiring you. The only difference between new vehicles and old vehicles is electronics. The new ones you have to acct for all the sensors and junk that they out on them. The older vehicles is pretty much grab a wrench and get to work. Another difference is, to work the new ones you better have metric tools as I have found out on 2016 ecodiesel Build. I was running to harbor freight everyday when I did my 6 inch lift, lol! Keep it up, man, can't wait to see where this 1st gen goes!
Ryan whatever color you decide to paint it, i think you should do a diy in your own shop how to paint a truck. it would be awesome to see for those of us who cant take it to a paint shop and pay 10k for a paint shop and wana do it ourselves in our garages. and maybe wetsanding/buffing steps aswell? idk maybe im the only one would would enjoy that
I don't know if you are having this issue or not but since you have to keep jumping it I figured I tell you that those trucks have common charging problem. They have a computer, it doesn't control much but it does keep it from charging. I had to take mine and get it rebuilt and it took care of the problem. Excited to see what you do with it. I love the videos, keep up the good work!
It definitely needs a manual swap. Ditch the stack. There's something about a clean mint restored 1st gen. Small lift, 35" tires, HD bumpers with decent grill guard. Clean and simple
I fuck with it, 3M has some cool 2080 series vinyl wraps, you should check out Matte Brown Metallic, Matte Indigo, Matte Charcoal Metallic and Matte Slate Blue Metallic. Those are the colors I like for this truck. One of those or if you must paint it, go for a deep Navy color, I’m sure there’s a candy midnight navy color or something. I’m stoked for this build actually, it’s something different.
Love the new build!!! Make it wide and modernize the suspension air ride or king coil-overs preferred! Make it candy green or a sage color! Then run (Aaron crown series triumphs) 22 x 14 -81. I’d try to get them in chrome btw. P.s. you could run the same set up wheel tire and suspension and do something patina for the paint job! 💯 That is my thought! Killer build though, super stoked. Let’s go!!
Since that 1st gen is a vintage truck I think you should use a vintage color, I believe Mopar had a great looking blue back in the day EB5 paint code with maybe a flat black hood. Low and wide, twin turbo, and maybe a hood stack.
This is perfect i just got a 1990 single cab 3500 gmc that i need to fix most of the stuff your going to fix on that cummins cant wait for this build to begin
Green with the lime, lemon with the banana ram, orange with the copper...gotta get that grapefruit my man and round out the citrus grove and go with a pink! Pink with green accents is always a solid combo 😍
Hey my guy! If you can the diesel king, specifically for 12v’s is “V-belt and son” this guy will set you straight! Definitely take care of the killer Dow pin, there should be a gear under the dash for your indicator to move the needle where you want it.
Great choice for a new build...what about a nice pearl titanium gray color blend with chrome wheels?🤔...I think a grey tone would be a bad ass addition to your Ram family...
Do a flatbed and put the stack that is on there on the flatbed, dually swap it, make it the tow rig, then a big ole trailer and tow both those show trucks
I think the candy green would look nice on the truck but how about like a deep metallic blue with the blacked out chrome or even with chrome would be clean
I would do a tow rig with it Twin turbos dually swap the rear end and I would swap a manual into it and do a dope ass two tone paint job (black and orange) on it definitely keep the mirrors as is
Alright. So Ryan, hear me out! 1 ton dually conversion slammed on bags with baby blue paint!!! 🥵🥵🔥 No matter what you decide to do with it, I’m sure it will have the signature Ryan Mayer “let’s do something nobody has seen before and absolutely kill it!!!!” I can’t wait to see what you have planned for this truck!
I have a 1990 d250, you wait for the fuel pump too stop humming and you can start. I also don’t think there’s a two battery option. And make sure too get the killer dowel pin done! If you don’t you will blow that motor with twin turbos or triple!
you should restore/ build out a bad ass version of each generation of every cummins ram they made! id be super stoked to see what you could do to a nice Gen 2/3
Two tone. Bottom half 1 color top half another color. Candy blue and metallic silerish blue. Order a metallic silverfish green and a dark candy forest green. Or that classic candy reddish-brown and tan
Never to many rams. I work on them daily. Did the similar thing to my 4th gen 1500 that you did with the yellow interior upgraded from tradesman to a big horn and traded it in for my 5th gen big horn 1500. All of yours looking good
Ryan remember the purple Chevy truck bed brother??? We all know you can do a body panel. Just get a new bed and save the time and headache. Better do something with the Cobra soon.
No we are talking!! Decent garage RUclips channel has a lot of good info on fixes for these old trucks. And check out farfromstock for some good aftermarket products.
I know you like bright colors but the challenger destroyer grey with a bright powdered suspension would look awesome... or a root beer candy would look good as well...
I’ve never truly been a mopar guy BUT!!! Lol Man you make them look good not to mention I alrdy like the Cummins and these new 2500s are just o so sexy
Slam the classic on the ground, charcoal gray exterior & blue interior!
That would be so sick
hey ryan, you inspired me to get into trucks. just because i cant drive yet doesnt mean i can't have dreams
Good man. I was 15 buying cars and messing with them. Practiced with crap so when I could drive I knew what the heck I was doing lol.
@@flyingmunk8956 same, haven’t been able to buy a truck but I’ve been driving since I was 8 yrs old.
Hey yeah dude same here My parents get annoyed when I call out ever truck on the road
Ryan:“I’m not gonna put this in the video”
Also Ryan:*PUTS IT IN THE VIDEO*
I'm sooo happy
Manual swap? Also a nice blue and grey two tone color would look sick!
Illusion blueberry! That 1st gen would pop! I’m excited for this new build. Great work on the banana ram btw!
Ryan “ They don’t now I’m going to make it a dully”
We do now
Reading that "sentence" (I say sentence loosely) made my brain hurt.
@@norsevikingsir4932 bruh sorry I didn’t know my English teacher was grading my RUclips comments
Finally something old that will be a great build

@@biggchase69 not really at least in my first gen. When I had issues it was mostly mechanical and electrical issues are usually a lot easier to diagnose.
You should do the 1st gen Root beer brown and a cream 2 tone! Would look amazing!!
Definitely gonna be my favorite build yet. Always wanted a 12 valve 1st gen
You could always live here in Houston where a lot of people don't know how to drive whether it's raining or sunny outside. Lol
That comment you made about weather making people forget how to drive, I can relate I am from Canada and when the snow goes away so do people's common sense
Like that in michigan also. Snows and they ether drive to damn slow or way to fast. Accidents like crazy. They need to go to Florida if they dont know how to handle it.
Same here in Winnipeg! 4 seasons in a week and they forget how to drive even though we just spent 4 months in winter
@@jam79car I'm in Montreal, same here...yesterday it was snowing and I was out in shorts today
@@tyleradamgibson7665 Dude! You're not even allowed to drive anywhere bro 🤣
Try driving in California with Amy kind of elements.
I like how you just ripped it in front of the shop 🔥😂
Lol I never noticed how close your seat be to the steering wheel bruh 😂. ..sick 1st gen though
Yeah, his knees are an inch from the dash. That’s understandable if he’s 6’8” tall.
Man you need to go all in with this build. Forget any other plans. This will bring the content people wanna see, and the views will go crazy!
Do a flat bed build!!!! It would look so sick 🔥🔥🔥
4WD conversion, convert to short bed, lifted, 38’s on 17’s, painted the Jeep Gobi color. That would be my vision. Keep up the great work Ryan!!
Painting the 1st Gen , Purple ? 🥳 ogs 😍
I have a 93 12valve, 4wheel drive, 2 tone red and grey with grey interior, best truck ever! Im pretty excited for this build haha
yo Ryan go check greg_alberalla old video on his fist gen to maybe learn something from him about the truck hope it helps
Steering stabilizer , redhead gearbox and biggest thing of all the borgeson steering shaft. Love the new project!
I'm always 12 to 14 minutes late like every time!
Midnight blue would looks nice on the first gen I think.
Fastest I’ve ever clicked😂
Ya we don’t care
same with in seconds

Pearl white and brown two tone that would really bring flare and OG look but a little modern to the truck. I love that truck

So happy to see you doing a first gen in the channel now!!!
Flatbed and lifted with dually conversion 💪🏻
He said you get in your brand new truck in ‘92 and it’s super loud, but it literally has a stack 6 inches behind the cab 😂
Finding custom mounts for the tow mirrors would be awesome, with your power coating abilities too!! Pure fire
I fuck with it, 3M has some cool 2080 series vinyl wraps, you should check out Matte Brown Metallic, Matte Indigo, Matte Charcoal Metallic and Matte Slate Blue Metallic.

The ram blue would look sick on that truck and a 4th gen Laramie bench would be dope too

Slam it. Short bed conversion. Twin turbo. 😍
I think a metallic blue raptor liner would look good on the whole truck plus it’d hide some of the defects in the body
I think the purple you did the Silverado in would look sweet!
YES AN OLDER TRUCK! I love the fancy new trucks but man old school has my heart!
Green with the lime, lemon with the banana ram, orange with the copper...gotta get that grapefruit my man and round out the citrus grove and go with a pink! Pink with green accents is always a solid combo 😍
First gen burn out🔥 this build is going to be 🔥 that bed looks as long as my first mullet.. you can tell you’re excited about the truck.
Hey my guy! If you can the diesel king, specifically for 12v’s is “V-belt and son” this guy will set you straight! Definitely take care of the killer Dow pin, there should be a gear under the dash for your indicator to move the needle where you want it.
Ryan keep it classic! Like a two tone ! Or three ( top black, red line separating it. Then silver bottom ) that would look amazing !
Great choice for a new build...what about a nice pearl titanium gray color blend with chrome wheels?🤔...I think a grey tone would be a bad ass addition to your Ram family...
Do a flatbed and put the stack that is on there on the flatbed, dually swap it, make it the tow rig, then a big ole trailer and tow both those show trucks
Ryan: Says he can make something cool out of anything
Me: Confused looking at all trucks lol
That cotton candy blue you saw in that jeep the other day would go with the fleet 😂😂
That truck needs to be a lowered dually with a heavily built motor. Pushing 1200 horsepower with twin turbos. And manual swapped.
I think the candy green would look nice on the truck but how about like a deep metallic blue with the blacked out chrome or even with chrome would be clean
I’ve always wanted someone to do a first gen ram and I’m glad he’s the one that will do it. Amazing content and always something different
I think a clean white would look awesome with some metallic blue accents would look clean
Old truck be a cool built. Good luck with it...nice 92 D250...right on 12 valve...👍
Old Skool time. Sweet! Building a 1986 El Camino... this one will teach you patience like you never knew you had! LMAO.
I would do a tow rig with it
Twin turbos dually swap the rear end and I would swap a manual into it and do a dope ass two tone paint job (black and orange) on it definitely keep the mirrors as is
Nice truck I love the old schools they look and sound so good.
This is going to be a bassass build can't wait to see what wild color you have picked out for this build. Going to be a kick ass build Ryan
Alright. So Ryan, hear me out! 1 ton dually conversion slammed on bags with baby blue paint!!! 🥵🥵🔥 No matter what you decide to do with it, I’m sure it will have the signature Ryan Mayer “let’s do something nobody has seen before and absolutely kill it!!!!” I can’t wait to see what you have planned for this truck!
I'd love to see a retro light blue with like a cream white two tone
Can't wait to see the work you do on the first gen
I have a 1990 d250, you wait for the fuel pump too stop humming and you can start. I also don’t think there’s a two battery option. And make sure too get the killer dowel pin done! If you don’t you will blow that motor with twin turbos or triple!
Saving my life motivational... I struggling with the problems the previous owners left on my new to me 95 Ram 2500 12v turbo Cummins....
Bright ass blue! or hot pink. Something crazy, but like a candied royal blue would look insane
Hit up that blue that you spotted the other day. Badass blue to keep the awesome colors going.
I’d go with the old stock gasser mirrors. Look up 1st gen Cummins builds and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Looks very clean with them!
you gonna finish this build man im super stoked
I think a baby blue would be so nice and classy for the new product truck
Candy Apple orange a beautiful color would go great on the truck
if you paint or wrap this one you should do a metallic rootbeer to stay with a vintage theme but look clean and new
you should restore/ build out a bad ass version of each generation of every cummins ram they made! id be super stoked to see what you could do to a nice Gen 2/3
Hell yeah. I have a first gen and a 6.7 I love watching these videos. First gen content let it begin.
Good choice on the new truck type
Two tone. Bottom half 1 color top half another color. Candy blue and metallic silerish blue. Order a metallic silverfish green and a dark candy forest green. Or that classic candy reddish-brown and tan
Never to many rams. I work on them daily. Did the similar thing to my 4th gen 1500 that you did with the yellow interior upgraded from tradesman to a big horn and traded it in for my 5th gen big horn 1500. All of yours looking good
Panther Pink, yeah build the first Pink panther truck. I think it'd be cool.
CANDY BROWN!!! Damn that would be so bad ass on that truck!!!
Finally a first gen , I have one and I wanna see Ryan build one
With all these high quality builds I’ve been waiting on u to build a old school truck with the same type of show truck quality 😈
Bro I swear I love first gens I can’t wait until I’m older to get one it’s my dream truck
You just hook the second battery up to the first one. Positive to positive negative to negative. That’s how to hook it up 12v.
Ryan remember the purple Chevy truck bed brother??? We all know you can do a body panel. Just get a new bed and save the time and headache. Better do something with the Cobra soon.
I think a dark green or a dark purple would look sooooo sweet
I missed the Jetta build(not much happened there), I missed the 6.7 Lime build but I've been present for everything since. This should be awesome!
No we are talking!! Decent garage RUclips channel has a lot of good info on fixes for these old trucks. And check out farfromstock for some good aftermarket products.
I know you like bright colors but the challenger destroyer grey with a bright powdered suspension would look awesome... or a root beer candy would look good as well...

Man you make them look good not to mention I alrdy like the Cummins and these new 2500s are just o so sexy
6:35 these held somebody’s truck Dylan...” Guessing that’s towards Katie
Ay, Ryan. Paint that ram lollypop blue, I think that would be super awesome!
Excited for this build for sure!
Never too much Mopar content.
Also.. it’s a 90’s truck. Do a 90’s color like teal. That would be rad.
That factory color is beautiful!
Paint it blue, that would look absolutely amazing
Good luck trying to do that out here in California ive been struggling to find parts out here for my 85 first gen
Bada$$! I love it! 1st gen baby....that's where it all started. Amazing
And another one I’ve realized you’ve quickly out grown the new shop already
Ryan you should do a lil red wagon tribute. Its a diesel and the platform is there. Or keep the color root beer brown but update it a little
