@@EngineersGarage1 maybe 100 lol but we know Torque is it. Parents had a 92 D250 supercab LE longbed 5spd. All black, full chrome front. The truck outlasted my parents knees being a stick. 300k+ miles still could bark the 2-3 shift like a champ.
People forget that it didn’t take 500hp to do the same work trucks do today, 30 years ago. Nothing beats hearing them injectors rattle and that turbo spoolin. Awesome truck.
The difference is when this truck was built, there was a 55 MPH nationwide speed limit (some exceptions to 65). Today, you got 70-75 in cities. Same thing in Europe today, the EU requires anybody towing to have a 90 kph/55 MPH limit (80 kph/49 MPH in some countries) which is why they tow RVs with a midsize sedan.
Who needs a radio when you can listen to that beautiful machine everywhere you go. A truck like that would keep a smile on my face every time I could drive it.
Thats one of the cleanest first gens I've seen on youtube, and I love how you kept what looks to be the original rims on. And don't get me started on the amazing sound of the old 12v. Thank you for the video!
Thank you!! Unfortunately the truck didn't come with the original wheels, I swapped on these wheels that are really 1.25 inch wider than factory wheels. But keeping the stock look was the goal!
I thought you said there was no music? I heard a beautiful symphony of 12 valves and a turbine wheel... lol That's a really clean 1st gen man, rock on!
Man. This is actually the best video on here. Not only is the sound of the 12 valve just simply perfect, but you drive super well. If half of new York could drive like you that would make that place safe for all us truck drivers. 😂 Thanks again for the video!
My dad had a 93 white extended cab 12v Cummins with the getrag 5 speed. He paid $6500 for it. I pretty much learned to drive in that truck. That was his 1st Cummins and he's on his forth now. It made me a diesel guy. I love the sound, the feel, the torque, everything. I've got a 95 powerstroke. It was my first diesel and I still have it and drive it. I've always wanted a Cummins but could never afford one. So I listen to videos like this and enjoy other people's. Someday I'll have one. Thanks for posting this. It took me back to rowing gears and pulling a gooseneck around in my dads truck. Great video and I enjoyed it immensely!
I'm an old semi mechanic for about 30 years I could tell you the sound of every semi engine out there. I finally got my first coming 5 years ago, through sheer luck. And I mean sure luck LOL. It is a 24-valve, but they both truly sound like the semi going down the road thanks for the video, put a big smile on my face
Extremely clean nice stock truck. Sorry nothing sounds better than a 12 Valve Cummins backed by a manual transmission. Who needs a radio this truck is music to my ears!
i want more people, esecially classic peterbilts and kenworth truckers, to do videos of this. truck warm up, trailer and chain hookup and hit the road with outside audio
...just sprinkle a little bit of exhaust brake action with those sweet sweet downshift noises on this master piece and this beast is the chef's kiss all day..😁
This is awesome! I love hearing the audio in videos like these where the camera is outside, because it show how much these trucks truly sound like a tractor or semi!
Thank you!! I'm really trying my best to capture the true sounds of these trucks and cut out all the tire and wind noise by trying different mic locations. They really sound just like a semi, glorious.
@@Valve-sb7ne I’ve had the pleasure to everyday drive an 89 4x4 5-speed for a while now. I’m only 18 and to already be driving my dream truck is amazing.
No matter the situation and ol 12v always brings me back to my childhood, that’s all my family ever had/has. Grandpa, uncles, dad all 12v till the day we die
My radio hasn't worked for 4 yrs now in my ol' 96 Ram. Normally this would drive me crazy but it is a 12 valve 5sp. I just roll my windows down.... better than any music
Great video thank you for sharing. My Grandpa had an old first gen he swapped a 10 speed Eaton Fuller into for hauling heavy loads. He sold it when I was a teenager but I finally tracked it down and hope to buy it back.
BEAUTIFUL TRUCK man and AWESOME ENGINE! I am currently "sprucing" up my dads 1993 W350, it only has 155000 original miles on it! What a FUN DRIVING, GREAT PULLING, AWESOME SOUNDING and STRONG ENGINE that 12V is!
That truck is so beautiful sounding i started to fall asleep to it. That and i love the tractor seat view, it kinda feels like we're riding on the tractor. 😂👍❤️
Nothing beats a stick 12v... I have a 97 12v but it's a auto... I'm trying like hell to find one that has cruise control or 4x4 with a stick, mines base 2x4 auto...still does the job just want to make a even better tank... Heaviest haul was scrap metal on a 32ft gooseneck bigtex loaded down. The haul was somewhere between 10-15,000 (not counting trailer) can't remember off the top of my head
Thanks for the video. Can you make more of this, it is very relaxing and interesting for me... like computer games, but with very good sounds and 3D graphics =))))
Amazing how much trucks have advanced. Only 10k lbs and pushing what you would want to regularly haul with that truck. My dads 2015 F150 with the 3.5L engine handles 10k no problem. Accelerated strong up hills, engine brake hold it down hills, brakes strong, handles overall smooth. Almost as if pickup classes have shifted up, 1/2 tons today can do easily what 3/4 ton 25 years ago could barley do. But personally, I would rather be seen driving a 1st gen cummins than a lousy f150 ecobost lol.
Yeah this load is about the limit. The truck can get more weight moving for sure but it only weights 4600 lbs so it gets pushed around a bit. I agree there has been a shift in truck classes. Having many 1500s of every brand in my family it's definitely true they could move this load better, just not as nearly as fun!
@@EngineersGarage1 Definitely right. That 12valve could get more weight moving, slowly but it would move. Great rig for around town or under 1hr. Sill a super clean truck, Im jealous lol.
Thanks man!! Yup, right above the exhaust, behind the bumper to frame bracket to keep wind noise minimum. I'm trying my best, just need to find more time to film more.
@@EngineersGarage1 In my experience (I have both) up to 60-65 mph 4.10 is more enjoyable to drive with a 5 speed it seems like they match up better and just go through the gears nice including when compression braking. But I realize hardly anyone is content to go as slow as me. Its a 1st gen 4x4 dually I'm not gonna win many races either way!
Why don’t they make trucks like this anymore I don’t want a brand new dodge because I’m not looking for a luxury pleather truck I’m looking for a work truck for this exactly what you did in the video
Thank you! Mostly a survivor! It's had a door resprayed and I've replaced the trim, repainted the bumper plastics and new window seals. Can't beat the sound!
@@EngineersGarage1 Nice! Well you've done a great job keeping that original 1st gen look and that color combo can't be beat! Congrats sir on such a gem👍🇺🇸
@@alandillon6469 I'm a big fan of keeping these trucks close to stock. This was my favorite color combo, I lucked out getting this truck! Thank you sir!!
@@EngineersGarage1 Any time sir. If I can make a suggestion for a video? How about a walk through on the truck and a bit on it's history? I know us Dodge Cummins lovers would love that, I sure would and would get good views:)
Hi there. I'm making a (non-commercial, free) game and wondered if I could please use some audio snippets from your video for a truck model I have made for it - loosely based on a European market DAF 45 with a 6bt engine. Please would that be ok - I'll happily put your channel name in the credits.
@@EngineersGarage1 thank you very much 😊 nice truck and trailer BTW, sounds great! It's funny how ubiquitous the 12 valve is all over the world, having done a lot of work on and briefly driven one of the aforementioned DAFs I'd recognise the sound anywhere, sadly we don't get them in lighter duty pickups over here due to our silly fuel prices! One of my time favourite engines next to the redblock volvo's, Toyota 2jz and Honda H and B series. I'd totally put one in something like a Hilux if I had the time/money.
Yup. The red reflector on mine was peeling and look terrible. I pulled it all way off and just sanded the adhesive that was left over, then I used some Scotch-Brite to make it look brushed like the rest of the panel.
While towing and having to leave from a dead stop do you leave in 2nd or first? I never use first empty but was wondering if you did when towing this load.
I was leaving from first gear everytime with this load. I have a 3.54 gearset. Most people will always make the blanket statement that you should always start out in first gear when towing from a dead stop. Truth is it depends entirely on the load and the gear ratio you have. If you're towing a lawn tractor on a single axle trailer and you have 4.10s, second gear starts are no issue I'm sure.
i watched all of it. Loved the camera work but more the audio Am I wrong that judging from the sound it could use more power or better gearing. No hating truck is amazing
Thank you! Still working on getting the cleanest audio possible. You're not wrong, the truck is working hard. It has 3.54 gears, and it's all stock aside from the exhaust. So only 160hp. But it's enough for what I'm doing. If it used it everyday for this I'd make changes.
I'm hoping to get myself a 1st or 2nd gen with a 5.9 soon just because of videos like this one here. I currently have a 2012 4th gen but due to poor fuel mileage (I don't know why it's getting bad mileage, I've done everything I can) I just want to go old school and get something with less technology involved just so I can get the real diesel experience Edit: does this truck have an exhaust brake? I know they didn't have them from the factory but I was wondering if you put one aftermarket or tried to stay mostly original.
Can't go wrong with either a 1st or 2nd gen. The newer emissions systems and weight of new trucks kills the fuel efficiency. I don't have an exhaust brake. It's something that's on my long term list of mods, I still have to do 60lb valve springs for the brake.
Nothing like the sound of 79 horsepower hauling 10000 pounds. Love your truck
Hey now, it might be 85 horsepower!

How one keeps a 30+ year old truck this clean in a dump like New York will forever remain a mystery to me...
No other diesel has the sound of an old 12 valve Cummins
especially with a good old 5 speed
If you p pump swap a 24 valve (not common rail) it sounds the same
My 92 1st gen automatic is still going for now 😂
5.9L 24V is my favorite Cummins Engine. This 12V is solid stout engine.
And no other weaker than a good old over ratted 12v Cummins
Who needs a radio when you can listen to that beautiful machine everywhere you go.
