    Me & my friend Terry were going for a ride in his 1989 1 Gen Dodge Cummins TD 5.9L W250 3/4 ton 4x4 5 speed with (roughly 620,000 k) we had to go to Western Star Trucks from Qualicum Beach B.C. to Campbell River B.C. on Vancouver Island & every time I hear him start out in 2nd thru them gears it was the best sound ever gives me chills too music to my ears!!! his cummins has a straight Pipe Exhaust with a 4 inch pipe on the end (NOT Stacks) that well Broken in Diesel Engine sounds just like a semi truck he even slapped the shifter 3rd Gear over to 5 Gear. (Now i'll tell you what happened earlier that day & why we had to go to Western Star) Terry owns to Western Star Trucks a 1985 Blue Western Star Dump Truck with Cummins Diesel Motor & 15 Speed Trans 2 speed rear end & a 2002 Western Star Highway Truck for haulin' Heavy Duty Loads it's got a sleeper Cab the Engine is a 3406 Cat Diesel rated 550 H.P. with a 18 speed & 2 speed rear end. So we were hauling Gravel in a Belly Dumper to Terry & Vicky's (his wife) farm last Load to, when we pulled out onto the New highway at the Horn Lake road turn off his Clutch was working fine then when we got down to the Qualicum Beach/Port Alberni intersection his Clutch Pedal wasn't working was I scared no way haha Terry drove truck for a long time. so he geared it down without the clutch to try beating the red light no dice awe (either that or he could Push the cars outta his way LOL) so we went south & go up the Port alberni Highway & find a turn off/gravel road. parked it there for about a week Ya a week it took a while for the clutch Pedal Link rod to be ordered. so Terry called his son Tage to come with the Only Truck with Terry's Tools can ya guess the Mighty Dodge Cummins Sweet Oh & at the Gas station a Guy had his 1 Gen 1992 or 93 Dodge Cummins too that was pretty cool. Later guys best story of my life well one of them :D Love the sound of the Dodge Never Gets Old ;)

    This truck sounds amazing. We have a 1991 Dodge Ram 250 4x4 with an automatic. Its been our old farm truck since my dad drove it off the showroom floor! Its been beat to hell and back and still runs like a champ! Definitely tough trucks! I want one for myself, buts its very hard to find a decent one for cheap, and even harder to find em in 5 speeds manuals AND 4 wheel drive! Which is a must for our brutal Minnesota winters!

    Love these 1994 and older Dodge D Series Pickups/Ramchargers. This interior is 1986-1994 model year for this truck and the old body style from 1972-1994 model and it is a good shape. Buzz sound is from older trucks to all the way through 1997 model year. I think this truck is a 1994 Dodge D250.

    • @themadmailler

      this is an 89 w350. this body style lasted until 1993, in 1994 they changed the body style to the much more common "second gen" style. D series is 2wd and W series is 4x4.

      My dad has a 1989 cummins and I find it necessary to use first gear in most cases when starting. I'm not sure how low it has to be to be considered a granny gear but it doesn't seem that low to me. Now my 1966 Ford F250's first gear is definitely a granny gear. It's so low I hardly ever use it. To even go into first gear without badly grinding on it you have to come to a complete stop and sit with the clutch in for about a second.

    • @redtra236
      @redtra236 6 років тому +1

      That said when I've driven it it's normally loaded down with a heavy steel flatbed, loaded grain feeder, and hay bale carrier so that might be why I feel the need to use first gear.

    • @quzzolajuawan4026

      that sounds like a bov... blow off valve. lets the turbo charge air off when you let off the throttle

    • @themadmailler

      no BOV on this turbo... i believe most diesels don't have one.

    Damn my 7.3 zf6 doesn't make any cool turbo noises when I shift, is that just the waste gate dumping when you shift? Sounds cool
    Vrwhooohoooo

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  8 років тому

      not sure what makes the noise, i don't think it's the wastegate because when i let off the throttle the boost drops, so there's no reason the WG would open. Sounds awesome either way! stay tuned, this truck is getting an HE351 swap soon!

    • @ssgpentland8241
      @ssgpentland8241 8 років тому

      I have a 1991 D250. If his turbo is stock, there is no waistgate on these turbos. Will be getting an HX35 for mine soon, and that does have a waistgate

    • @Mr.Stroke0331
      @Mr.Stroke0331 8 років тому

      themadmailler maybe it's just the turbo spooling down slightly as you back off to shift, either way sounds amazing.

    • @farmall99

      Disconnect the red line to your waste gate actuator. Makes for a similar sound on your 7.3 @G Palmer0331.

    Why isnt he rev matching? I rev match in my 02 1500. I've seen a lot of videos out there saying it will damage your vehicle if you don't rev match

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  8 років тому +3

      because i drive my synchronized 5 speed like a synchro'd 5 speed. If it's not a tractor trailer, you don't need to pretend that you're driving one.

    • @enriquetorres9213
      @enriquetorres9213 8 років тому

      Oh okay. My parents taught me that way, then I learned other stuff on youtube. I didn't know if it was necessary. Thanks for answering my question!

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  8 років тому

      rev matching is needed on a non synchro'd transmission, but with the advent of synchronizers, they do the work for you. makes life a lot easier!

    • @enriquetorres9213
      @enriquetorres9213 8 років тому

      I only do it when I down shift. I can get into 3rd at 50mph no problem at about 2.5rmp

    • @cumulo25
      @cumulo25 8 років тому

      themadmailler Not necessarily. Rev matching helps with a smooth downshift (whether you're doing it to decelerate or accelerate.) It keeps the vehicle from lurching and protects the clutch from damage from unnecessary slipping. Has nothing to do with synchronization.

  • @econrey
    @econrey 10 років тому

    What's the final ratio in it? Noticed you did a 2nd gear start. Truck sounds good, it's too bad there aren't a few more around that aren't completely beat to death.

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  10 років тому

      not sure, i think they came with 3.73 gears or something like that. i turn about 2100 or 2200 RPM's at 65 MPH in 5th. I always start in 2nd, speed wise it's like 1st in any other car. unless i have something heavy in the back 1st is useless except for crawling or parking lot maneuvers.

  • @killerloose0078

    it sounds like you need a new turbo wastegate when you let off the throttle

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  9 років тому

      +Stephen B it's always sounded like that, and the wastegate works as it should. I actually installed a new one not too long ago because the diaphragm in the old one failed.

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  3 роки тому

      The 24 valve is a better truck in just about every way. Only downside is the extra electronics. I've pulled loads with the 24 that i'd never dream of pulling with the 12.

    hey i have a question about your truck is 1st gear on your first gen a low gear for hauling which means you need to launch in 2nd gear or is it fairly long

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  9 років тому +1

      +Shrapnel2448 1st gear is really only good for hauling or crawling slowly around a parking lot or over rough terrain. starting in 2nd in this truck is like starting in 1st in any other car or smaller truck.

    • @bendenard5617
      @bendenard5617 9 років тому +1

      MrBlaz2 it's not the waste gate. Waste gates don't make a noise that is simply the turbo let off when he let's off the skinny pedal.

    • @themadmailler
      @themadmailler  9 років тому

      +WhoWeGaming mrblaz is probably thinking of a blow off valve typically found on gassers with a turbo.
