- The 2nd Gen Dodge Ram 2500 Is A Truck That Won't Stop!
In this video I go over why the second generation Dodge Ram 2500 is so good. These trucks never die and can take whatever you throw at it. After driving one of the best example of one, I can say that I definitely want one as a next truck! Id even settle for an auto if it meant getting one that's in really nice condition.
Here is the million mile club that I talked about.

The 2nd gen rams have such a distinct look to them, i think thats why they were so popular, theres no mistaken one coming down the road, back then it was a radical design that changed the truck insustry 100%
I've owned my 2001 for 15 years. It's an extra cab long bed 5 speed manual. Rubber seats, rubber floor mats. No frills, manual window cranks. A/C, PS, PB. Bone stock. three lift pump replacements. Never had any leaks. Just under 400,000 miles. Love this truck, could never part with it. My sister has a '97 Cummins SLT Laramie Extra Cab 3500 dually automatic. Nice video, thank you .
Million mile engine on a two hundred thousand mile transmition
So true unless you get a manual. But all the manual ones are beat.
Lol 200 mile transmission and rust killed my 97 with less than 100k
Too bad you didn't bother washing the salt and grime off!
@@whatsit2ya247 she was a 97 12v with the factory snow plow package. What I'm trying to say is she was pretty much fucked when I got her.
TBH all trucks of the 90s had terrible interiors and transmissions. They were learning. And it's not just dodge. Its all 3.
I love my 07 3500 5.9 Cummins with the 6 speed manual! Zero rust just rebuilt the clutch, Transmission & put in a new power steering pump and steering box. It runs like new and good for another 200k or more!
Hey my dad has a 1 ton dually version of that truck. But it's no where near that pretty. But love the way it looks.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have a 1997 Ram 2500 extra cab long bed 5.9 12V Cummins diesel automatic. The stock torque converter had a stall speed of 2100 rpm. Acceleration was painfully slow.The stock transmission was prone to failure so I had it rebuilt and beefed up bulletproof with aftermarket forged components. At the same time I had a 1500 stall torque converter installed. Wow! What a difference! I love driving this beast! Unless you're in a football field, forget about making u turns towing a trailer! LOL!
The engines on these things were absolutely bulletproof, but sadly the rest of the truck would fall apart around the engine.
Any engines outlive the bodies of the vehicles true fact too
Not surprising since they last 500k
Love that style and look of that year. Always have 👍👍👍
Another great review. Big props on touching base on the fueling issues with the 24v, I actually learned about it from Deboss garage, a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦
Thanks! Yea I knew it was a notable issue so I couldn’t not mention it.
Nice. I see more 2nd gen Rams out there than any other truck brand in a 2nd gen. Got to love these Rams.
Im happy with my 1stgen! Its a 1993 Dodge W350 Dually 4x4 with a 5 speed manual! King of The Hill!
A couple of things that were a surprise to me when I bought my 96 12v 5spd, and they should be mentioned. 1. Oil gauge is delayed and terrible. 2. Volts drop when grids cycle. Oil drip are ok....to a extent
I have that exact one and I’ve taken care of it I wash it about 3 times a week because I live on the gulf coast about 25 miles north of Galveston Tx my truck has No rust and a perfect dash everything works great I’ve been going through it over the last 2 years upgrading different things it has all new a/c and heat, all suspension and tires 33’s nitro’s new windshield new injector pump and lift pump new power steering pump and lines new break pads and calipers and rotors new headlights new headliner visors included new hitch and brush guard bumpers with new led light bar’s kill switch new batteries new water pump most of the parts didn’t need replaced but I have 290,000 miles on it so I figured I would go ahead and take care of these things before they gave me problems the truck gets awesome fuel mileage no matter what speed or what I’m pulling not sure how many miles I can get out of a tank I never let it get below half a tank I’ve done other upgrades but can’t remember all of them right now but I’ve put around $15,000 into it over the past 2 years I’ve been offered $40,000 (all offers combined) but turned it down because I don’t plan on ever getting rid of it that’s why I’m investing so much into it I’ve also done full undercoating and new running boards 2nd gen forever 👍👍
I have a 12v and a 5speed. It will literally be the last truck I will ever need ! Should last me my life time!
That’s awesome, perfect combo!
@@LiamDrives If you already have this track with the new venture 4500 in it then how hard would it be to put the six speed in it
My cousin also. His truck just won’t quit.
@@LiamDrives the 9th gen F Series didn't look soft at all. They looked great
I own the same color 02 3500 HO 6 speed 4x4. Just cracked 100k miles. She’s my baby. No issues minus the dreaded 44 injection pump. Oh, and I live in the desert southwest. The sun wasn’t kind to the paint or dash. Other than that, runs like a new truck.
Hi there I have a nice 98 12 valve extra cab short box with low stall torque converter from norm at mainland transmission drives great
Nice video, nice truck. I bought a 97 gen 2 4x4 5sp, cummins last Summer.
No mods,, No rust, No regrets!
Wow you have gem. Usually all the manual ones are either pretty beat or modded and abused!
@@LiamDrives the owner knew what he had but eyed a late 60's Power Wagon 4dr for a project. It just happened to be perfect timing for me.
A few dings on the bed and a bad dash of course but 220k... it's good. BTW, I subscribed.
Keep up the good work.
@@sonandsanford4963 that’s awesome she’s still got lots of life left! Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesomeeee! Look at that!
Love that bed cap. Where can I get one of those?
I like keeping my 99 completely stock towing my race cars to the track where I get my power and speed high 😅
Amazing video
Thanks!
Good video! hey what brand is the canopy? Looks good
Great vid!
Thank you!
They make a conversion kit to put the p7100 on the 98.5 - 02 24 valve cummins trucks. Making them all Mechanical
Ah very cool I didn’t know that!
Yep, and pay out the friggin nose for it too!!
Pretty safe if you just get a decent lift pump, unless of coarse you have one lying around or money's no object.
@@whatsit2ya247 yeah they are expensive. The reason I haven't built one yet lol
Lift pump is a majority of you’re issues with the vp44
Right what cap is that from I do t think it’s for a 2nd gen Ram ¿
Fun fact, a 12v with a mechanical fuel pump can stay running in the event an emp goes off!
But you're going to need a screw driver to stick in the starter to get it started!😂
99 ram Cummins engine stock bottom end can handle 1000hp no problem. Also the VP44 is perfect just replace the lift pump with a fass or raptor pump. On the automatic transmission if it goes bad use billet shaft ,servos and accumulater. Throw a triple disc torque converter. This truck should not give you any problems for a long time.
‘P-pump doesn’t go as wrong as often as the vp44’...understatement of the century for diesels. P-pump runs for over a million miles, and can lift fuel without a lift pump if they have to from other failures, vp44 fails once lift pump fails, or around 150k miles
I had one go out on a 99 at 125k miles and I sold my last diesel, a 2001 with over 250k with the factory lift pump. I did have a Fass ddrp lift pump and no tune. Super reliable truck
Ur dead wrong bucko mabye learn some more before you hate while yes the vp fails as soon as lift pump starts going bad as long as the lift pump supplies good fuel that vp will last a very long time more than 300k miles mines at 210 and stock vp running strong
@@thundershot2105 I literally said it fails when lift pump fails, thats exactly what you said as well. of course, if the lift pump supplies fuel it can live a long time, the 150k is just when i heard of lift pumps failing. read my statement again, bucko. My airdog seized and i drove my p-pump 50mi on the highway, slowly, it did it just fine no boost, doubt a vp would make it to the shoulder.
Nice video bud
Thanks budday
last of the good diesels.... all those 2nd 1st gens.. even 7.3 ford all amazing diesels.....
Totally!
How's the fuel ⛽ mileage on that?
What fender flares are those?
Like the video man. Wouldn’t trade my ‘98 2500 5.9 for anything.
Glad you do! They are great trucks.
@@LiamDrives my bad mine is a gasser but same point bro.
@@weathp that’s still sweet. At least where I am the gas ones are harder to come by than the diesels!
I want the 12V with P7100 😋.
Don’t forget about the 12v 1992
Do one on a 3rd gen or 1st gen!
It goes! It tows! Until the transmission blows!
1:32 my favorite chevy truck
I seen frist few 24v with p pump on them
Do a rally stage on your 2!
I don’t have the 2 any more. I love to to do a rally or rally cross one day!
Great vid now you should add a clip of mine that will actually push you back in your seat
Just a clip??? 🧐😏
@@LiamDrives or a whole vid lol
12valves rule.
Mines a 2000. Just keep them Fluid Filmed to keep the rust at bay.
I thought Manual transmission trucks come with H.O pump? Not engine. The engine is the same.
Yeah the 6 speed gets a beefy Vp44. I guess most people just refer to it as the H.O engine
Well it's a little different the h/o comes with the h/o vp44 and has a 17:1 compression ratio the sae trucks come with normal pump and 16:1 compression ratio
Is not jacked up 6 inches and powder coated white? What the hell
subbed
🙏🏼🙏🏼
if you what a 2nd gen ram live in texas were nothing rusts
True that!
I think your camera wobbles too much - other than that I learned lots. I spit out my coffee when you said you could fit your wenis in the exhaust!
It does. I need to find a better mount.
@@LiamDrives
News flash! Dodge hasn’t made a Diesel engine since the 80s. It’s a Cummins that gave Ram the reputation of a
unfortunately,this masterpiece can't be find in another country.
if this avaiable on my country,i will bought it
That’s a bummer! What country do you live in?
@@LiamDrives i live in indonesia. Its hard to find a Dodge Cummins
Did he say a turbo wheel 🤣🤣🤣
I love your comedy style and the way you talk / present yourself. But I hate those fucking trucks though. Only thing good about em is the engine. Great video man, subbed.
Thanks so much that means a lot! Yea I know they do have a lot of other issues. Both my buddies have them and they been nothing but great trucks for them. Thanks for the sub!
Mic grab p pump 😂
Found a 1999 …. Dumping my 2016 1500 ‘eko-diesel’ for a Man’s Truck!
400,000 miles
Needs tires slight rust
$25000 i know what i have
Lol so true!
You said 2002, the second gen only lasted from 94-01
I have an 01 btw
That’s only true for the light duty 1500s. The 2nd gen heavy duty trucks ended in 02.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙏🏼
my dad owns a 4th gen and it is already rolling coal
And it’s stupid
Review my leaf
Let’s do it.
Dodge is the hot girlfriend that was the best sex ever, but crazy as hell.
I don't think I've ever heard anything more accurate
Be careful with 24v.
The 24v is great too
And those butt hurt Ford and GM owners say Ram is unreliable. Lol 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅
Ford is a great platform as us Cummings and while Ford lifts heads they’re good for a half million miles when studded. Passionate owners don’t mind preventative maintenance
I think we can all agree 10 gen ford f series is the ugliest truck to exist
The diesels yes the dodge no
The Cummins and the Duramax are the best diesel engines on the roads sorry powerstroke you are definitely not!
The 6.0 and 6.4 powerstrokes are the worse imo.
Title should be CUMMINS
“K&n air filter for sweet turbo sounds” starts truck and no turbo sounds to be heard 😂 even “spoolbusses” my guy relax then talking about get a manual one if you want to make power my guy please learn before you spread miss info the you can build high ho on either one and if you really want to build it it doesn’t matter what so ever which pump you have
"mY gUy" please use commas and periods, and learn some grammar so your degenerative thoughts can be understood by people who actually listened and watched the video.
Dodge trucks suck, the Cummings engine is awesome.
Ideal truck, ford chassis, Cummings engine, allison trans. Perfect combo.
zf 6 speed would be better
Gotta disagree, every dodge my family and I have ever had was a masterpiece. Only one out of the 7 dodge trucks we had broke down. The other 6 were either wrecked or sold.
