  • It’s long been awaited, and with so much on our plates the little green? Blue? Dodge Ram has sat idly by waiting for it’s day in the sun… again… So here it is!
    We’ve now replaced the fuel pump, the radio, the mirrors, and swapped on some new wheels and tires from the old dirty dodge. She’s really starting to come around after that interior scrub Cody gave it too.
    It just might make a real truck after all!
    Thank you to everyone who has watched this so far. We appreciate all your positive comments and support. Couldn’t do it without you guys.

      I can vouch for that, thankfully my 2nd gen ram lived down south most of its life before I got it in NH. No frame rust and minimal door rust

    The greenish-blue dodge looks pretty darn sweet with those replacement wheels! I think it looks pretty good with that matte look, too. It doesn't need to be shiny as its a work truck, anyway. This generation of Ram has always been my favorite full-size pickup.

    I love these trucks. I have a '97 Ram 1500 with a 360 V8 auto with 298,345 miles on it so far and still going strong. It still has the original engine and trans and I've put 106,000 miles on it myself in the little over 10 years I've owned it. The main thing with these trucks is, I don't think the radiator trans cooler is enough to keep the trans fluid cool enough. So one of the first things I done to my truck was put an external trans cooler on it and so far so good. Still got good cold AC too, I charged it up about 6 or 7 years ago and still blowing cold so far. My truck needs some body work and paint at some point. Not sure how long it will last but time will tell.

      These trucks are amazing. By far, Dodge has always been my favorite. They may not be the best quality, but I love how they drive. I'd take a Dodge over a Toyota. It's just a much funner experience.

    I'm a big fan of regular cab LB trucks. Currently have a silverado with the 5.3 and it scoots along pretty well. Tows great too. Plus nobody asks to borrow it since it's a regular cab

    I've got a '96 Extended Cab 5.2 I pulled out of a field for $500. It's awesome seeing someone else putting in the work to keep one of these old trucks going. It frustrates me to no end, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

    Trucks looking better and better each time I see videos on it and makes me look through my old emblem collection and find my 3 Ram 1500 emblems 2 in silver and 1 in red plus makes me want to turn wrenches again and get my paws dirty again fixing bmx bikes like I used to but once in a while I get my paws dirty working on my mopeds doing oil changes,mirror work and tires because I love working with tools and being an autistic folf it soothes me to know that I worked on something with my own 2 paws 🐾🐾🐾🐾, arrrrrooooo

    Nice truck. My papaw had a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 in a red color that he got from my cousin’s Grandpa Dave. He replaced it with a 2002 Chevy Silverado S1500 which recently died, and now has my Mamaw’s Chrysler Town & Country from 2010. My Mamaw now has a 2024 Chevy Equinox which is nice.

    FWIW The dash on my 97 Tahoe broke like yours. I ended up buying one of those plastic welders off amazon for 20 something dollars. I used a bunch of the W shaped wires and put it back together. Holds great. I won't be winning any awards at the car show but the dash is solid as can be. I threw a cover on it and you can't tell. From 10 feet away.
