$500 Dodge Ram PART TWO

- 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.

My grandpa just passed away and left me his 97 Ram 1500. Only has 80,000 miles on it and is super clean. Bout to put new hoses on the thing and drive it for years to come 🙏
have fun with it
What do you mean? You don't want to buy a new truck for $125,000.00
My condolences keep it alive no matter what bro

Gonna miss that truck! F
Rest in peace to the dirty Dodge
That thing was an absolute trooper
Still give a few parts. BTW buddy had 97with rotted frame got 2k for it in swap
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.
This generation and ford 9th generation fights. Chevy I like 1989 to 1995 years more.
As someone who lives in NH, seeing not 1, not 2, but 3 second gen Rams that aren't eaten up with rust is amazing! 😍😍😍
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 red dodge is giving twister movie vibes. The blue dodge looks so good with the og dodge wheels
Should get a windshield, new headlights then do a rattle can respray. I’ve seen some UA-cam videos showing that it can look really good.
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
Trucks really coming together. She cleaned up well! Pour one out for the OG Dirty Dodge. Can’t wait to see that paint cleaned up.
She’s cleaning up real nice!
Those dashes.....bad for cracking. Wow! I wish i still had my 1997 Ram 4x4, sadly though, i could no longer afford it. Had owned it since new, which made it that more difficult to part with it. That's life, though. She looks good Jay, especially with the new wheels! Thanks for sharing!
Budget Leonardo DiCaprio fixing old trucks? Subscribed!
Was looking for a comment like this!
YOURE WELCOME MAXX! I'm glad I can see my old radio be put to use, also the tape deck worx! Also also, enjoy dem stickerz!
I gotta know where you got the “Murrica” stickers.
@@Susky_husky Redbubble or Etsy I can’t remember. I got them like 3 years ago, same with the Awoo and cash for clunkers
You should install a center console and full bucket seats with power windows, power locks, and power mirrors, and the overhead console with the compass and temp feature make it more like it fully loaded single cab
Some metal polish and a foam pad in a drill will clean up those headlights real nice. Not a perminent fix, but should last you 6 months or so.
Looking good, clean and polish those head lights too.
The video I've been waiting for!! Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication you put into this truck!!!
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.
Add the front safari bar grille guard offa dirty to the new truck....
Hey Jay! Nice to see another dodge! Have a good weekend fella!
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.
Here's a video of my truck and one day I will fix it back up.

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.
Nice to be able to fix stuff up that isn't loaded with rust.....Truck is looking good. Take as many parts as you can use of the white one...
My first ever truck was a 98 ram, reg cab, long bed!
At least the original dirty Dodge made it 300,000 miles, I remembered that was one of the first vehicles I seen on the channel when I subscribe!
Use the Vice Grip Garage clear on it. Derek makes it look easy as.
Is there some type of memorabilia I could buy from the OG dirty dodge
lookin real nice, i used to own a 5.9 ram back in 99. It was a laramie with 4x4. loved that truck
I like that color Jay 🙂👍 Truck looks great with the new wheels 👀
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.
Hey, jay my boy-you’re doing great with that dodge ram 🐏 it looks good with the new wheels! 🛞 I hope you have a good weekend with the others! I can wait for part3 sometime in the near future! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I just painted and sold a 98 dodge dually. Was a fun project to do. Only problem I couldn’t figure out couldn’t fiquire out how to get the gauges to work. Tried everything
That truck is looking sweeeet
The truck is looking good hope you cody and jessie have a great weekend
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.
Huge transformation nice work. I miss the old 2 door long bed strip down manual everything easy to work on trucks. Anything you buy now is mostly all computerized and has a million things you don't need that cost a fortune to fix
Got a dash cover off eBay for like 70 bucks.
Have a good evenin Jay, that’s my favorite variant of blue on it
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
It’s the elusive boyfriend!
love seeing RCLBs on the road. great job restoring this one.
all the way down on the shifter is not neutral btw. lol Great looking rims.
Good video Jay .. did Jessie pick him up another del slow.. good to see all the gang again
I agree on the lugnuts . They are worse here in Ohio 18 mm are your saving grace. Great video Jay.
Think you could do a driveway update on everything you got in the future?
Good video 😀
Can you do a final send off video for the dirty dodge, it's almost iconic lol, been watching you stuff for years
Dont park anything 10 foot of an old dodge ram, the electrical problems can be contagious
Those factory head units are often repairable.
Good looking truck man love what all you done with it, you gonna put them pod lights from the white truck in the bumper to?
What up Jay? Glad you dropped a new video
It looks pretty nice.
Nice driving in God's Country. It's amazing what can be accomplished when you know what to do and how to do it.
Those awful fuel pressure regulators/filters on top of the pump are usually the culprit
Cheers to the Original, un-rusty,yet Untrusty Dirty Dodge .All Hail the New Purty Dodge!
Yanno? Those wheels really look good with that satin-ish paintjob it has. They work well together
looks great except - headlights, buff and seal them or replace them.
Jay, you say green Dodge but on my screen its blue. Great video and great truck. Looking forward to more videos on the truck.
I was waiting for this vid!!!!!!
I love these trucks!
I must say I like the green truck, too bad we don't live closer. I have an 05 f150 I'll trade you it runs it needs a little bit of work, it's my daily got a 4.2 in it. But it runs good. I like the wheels on the dirty truck. But I like the black ones better. Did I say I like the green truck.
Good video bud keep up the good work and miss your videos bud
A dodge having an electrical problem No way
nice boat
For the OG dodge, what do you need to get out of the sheet metal? (And how far are you from South Main Auto? I bet Eric O could fix your electrical issue.)
Cant wait to see this video! 🙂
I'd do a full spectrum wet sand. Go through all the grits and then maybe flow coat the cear coat. She'll look brand new!
Glad I found your channel. I see bran new trucks out there but nothin like the older ones. Especially went they are brought back to life. Nice video. I subscribed.
Hey Jay he ran that stop sign lol
I got a matching collection of crap like you ! Inspire me to record the old crap I get going or give up on ,or buy and fix one day! Ritebon dude
Nothing like going to move a small boat and grabbing a wasp nest in the receiver
That rig could use some new headlights, rip to the og wite ram. What's the status on the red one?
Forget buffing it. Sand it and apply a Line-X to the entire truck.
Ima newbie came across your channel cause I also have a 97 1500 and they rule and will enjoy watching your videos Jay
I watched part 1 for the second time today not knowing part 2 already came out 😂😂
I didn't know your dad had a dodge d100 short bed...jay sir
Once again, a good running vehicle is worth saving. Regardless of looks. Side note, the steering wheel in the old white dodge is in great shape.
Am i the only person who thinks you should put that dirty dodge of FB market place for exactly the same money $500 the same you bought this other one? And see who gets to save it from the scrap yard ❤ Awesome videos here
Definitely a decent looking & running truck. Great job bud!
Man you got ole Cody working too! What about Charley ? He needs to be out there supervising!
Put a Bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter
awesome part two!
New windshield would be fire 🔥🔥🔥
BTW: 112 K < ! Well earned Jay.
I had some jbl speakers for long time and they sounded great.
I got the infinity reference speakers in there now stock radio hooked to an amplifier with a 6.5 skar subwoofer and an isimple antenna adapter aux attachment so I can plug my phone into the radio.
Countryman riding in a country road.
The world seems to be good where you guys are.
Love those 2nd gens, if those do not rust out - they're great trucks, really.
Keep up the great content - greetings from Austria 🤘🏻
Take the push bar off and put it on the new dodge 🙏 please!!!!
Rip og dirty dodge
R.I.P. Dirty Dodge!
Driver side wheel well is the ground strap that deteriorates bucks to whole truck up
Shit, I wish I knew where to get 500 dollar trucks in decent conditon.
Oh have I been waiting!
Nice vid
Should restore the white truck .. it looks good still .
You should next buy a classic to restore from Collier Motors in Pikeville North Carolina!
I would not cut, buff and wax the truck. It's got fine character just like that.....
you should buy an old cummins!!
those trucks in my country worth a lifetime of work to buy, average incoming is like less than U$300. 2026 if everything goes like planing i'll move to US. Nice work brother
What’s up with the RL?
Bro is so sad to see the dirty dodge abandoned.
