If anyone know anything bout driving a standard dodge diesel. 1st gear it's for starting off with a load on your truck. If you don't had a load, you start off in 2nd gear.
Love the authenticity David brings! Most truck reviewers don't even know how to back a trailer let alone change a spark plug or unclog a fuel filter. This is what pickups were made for.
@ 10:52 I work with a lot of guys from my dads generation that are exactly like that. It always amazes me what they can pull off. Let’s hope their skill rubs off on us!
That Chevy 3/4 ton with the 454 was something else. It pulled that tree (yep, that's a 454 for you). The check engine light came on. (Yep, that's a Chevy for you).
@@kayossmayhem it’s a 5.0 v8 according to their overview video with it. Agreed, idk why but the 5.7 always felt so strong. Then to be replaced by the 5.3.... 🤦♂️
A 5.7 wouldve smoked all of em. I know cuz ive raced my 99 Tahoe against a 454 2 door like that and smoked em pretty bad. And i had 70k miles on my whole truck more than he had.
@@justinmartin8887 my stock 24 valve eats 12 valve for lunch. If you’re looking for durability, that kid has a truck to last his grand kids. Speed just ain’t it, especially with a manual transmission.
@@joeguy297 some twelve valves, I’m sure. And yes, the manual does make it slow. But it would be extremely naive of you to say all twelve valves are slow. Because the p pump 12 has a lot more potential than a vp44 24 ever will
Was he starting in second gear like he should have? Hell even third gear starts would’ve been better than spinning through all the gears and bitching about not hooking up.
What an awesome video. Great job guys. I think I may have a new favorite TFL video. These guys are the best. Keep videos like this coming. Love this series.
Locker would be good for more extreme terrain. But LSD is not so bad one needs to complain. Stock Dana didnt fail these axles except with none other than axle seals. Worst part about them. Make you wanna slap the momma of the guy who designed them like that.
Trucks today have better fuel economy AND way more power than those back then. Everybody wants to do LS and coyotee swaps, not some old cast iron big block that gets 11 mpg and less than 300 HP.
@@wildbill23c it's all about proper maintenance and driving my guy. Why would it fail? 2001 suburban with 250k and a 2016 silverado with 45k, so I guess we'll see
David seem to have pulled off a pretty decent paintjob on that Chevy given his equipment and the fact that it was a barn job! It's the perfect work truck paint job, not too bad, and not too pretty either! It looks nice but won't break your heart if you scratch it! ;P
If you didn’t know, an easy way to read that service engine soon light on the 88-95 obs trucks is jump the ground and diagnostic terminal right next to each other with a paper clip. It should automatically flash 12 and then the code which is causing the light to be on. Obd1 is very primitive but gives a general area of what’s going on. My 454 tends to throw the light at highway speeds for a faulty o2 sensor, slow down some and it goes off
Interesting. My diesel does that when I work it hard be it hauling a large load of wood up a hill or going "a little" over highway speed...maybe a lot over.
@@kanegrimley8641 what do you base that on? Gas has the better off the line torque, where as the diesel needs the turbo to build boost before I truly begins to make power.
@@The_Crasher-xj4el Uh not sure you got that right. The Dodge has far better torque then the chevy 1500 gas off the line. Horsepower take off is another story. The gas truck has less torque so it spins the tires less at take off but it accelerates faster due to its horsepower advantage compared to the diesel before its turbo kicks in.
Why didn't you call me. I live nearby in Livermore with a 2001 F-250 with a 7.3 - All stock with 340k on the odometer. I would have come out to see how it stacks up.
It is amazing how far trucks power and torque have come. The big block 454 has less power and torque then a 5.3 (the 5.3 makes 383 torque, but with easy to find e85, it makes noticably more).
In all honesty im not brand loyal so all the trucks did pretty awesome i agree with that ugly brush guard on that k1500 though kills that good looking front end on the obs chevy take it off
On all these off-road tests, the biggest variable I feel everyone always misses is tires. You guys should keep a spare set half decent off road tires so that the differences in the trucks themselves are showcased more than the differences in tire tread.
The content you guys produce with David is unlike any other. Great video guys!
Agreed whenever I see a video with David in it I'm stoked
Let's do more videos like this.
Your comments just gave that man a raise. Lol
David is the best he reminds me of my pop
David makes the videos
I love these videos with David. He teaches these young guys some "every guy" tricks. Keep him within the TFL plans because he's fun.
Racing, 4x4ing, and clearing logs...just needed some BBQ and Beer at the end
Can we stop a moment and talk about the crazy headliner in the Chevy 2500.
David loves headliners!
I think I have to agree with Blaze “gross push bar Tommy”!🤣
It's far better than those Softoppers they keep putting on all those trucks.
David is a great addition! I’d like to see him around a little more often. 👍
I love that black Chevy but you won’t be able to pass a gas station with that 454
I put the Holly Sniper kit on my old one (1975) that had a carburetor, and it helped. Still is bad though.
My dad said the same thing when i bought a 20yo cadillac with a 472ci
You'd be surprised how easy on gas the 454 is compared to the 350
It needs a Gear Venders overdrive.
@@kerryrwac needs a lot more than that. the 4.0l v6 in my Tacoma makes more power.
To bad the 454 wasn't a 1996 and newer vortec like Tommy's. Then you'd be making near 300 hp and 420lb ft
To the what?
@@scarhart53 I think all factory numbers are crank
For reference. The 92 has 255 HP and 405 Lb Ft. 1996 and newer have a bigger roller and way better breathing heads with a bump in compression.
Classic & bike channel are becoming the better of the bunch.
If anyone know anything bout driving a standard dodge diesel. 1st gear it's for starting off with a load on your truck. If you don't had a load, you start off in 2nd gear.
Awesome scenic views. David has some gorgeous land!

Can we just appreciate how that dog could not be less amused during that race?
This is one of the most fun videos on TFL! Thank you David for being a great host, mechanic and all around good dude.

The Cummins must just be hilarious to drive or ride in. Incredible torque and acceleration for a second, three second pause, repeat.
This was fun, my two favourite generations of trucks ever made!
Panty dog? Between that and the Tommy Impression about automatics, this video was perfect!
Would love to see '96 Vortec 5.7 in the mix
The white 98 has a 5.7 vortec - so same thing.
@@kayossmayhem it’s a 5.0 v8 according to their overview video with it.

@@tahoeboy8658 lol Ive raced a bunch of 5.7l and 5.3l with my 5.4l and I smoked them all.
Zach NICE! What year is your Ford?
Nice video when is the 65 f100 gonna go off-road
Great Video guys! Parts of it reminded me of the Like a rock Chevy Truck commercials from the ‘90s!
That Cummins would’ve won every race if it was automatic... however the trans would’ve gone out by the last race lol
I think it’s a 12 valve too so not the fastest 🤷🏻♂️
@@joeguy297 it’s not a stock twelve valve. Which means it might just be

You guys have no clue what slow is till ya strap yourself into a mid 80s k10 with a 6.2 diesel.
Love the white Silverado. Beautiful dog as well ❤
I like how he restores a truck, then instantly uses it as a work truck
I guarantee that 1500 would have pulled that stump up no issue.
I want to go hang out on the yak ranch... you guys have a lot of fun there!
A milestone was achieved today. First time ever 4 hi was used on any TFL channel. Congrats
That 454 is amazing
that cummins is perfect in every way
I think we can all agree..... when David shows up the videos get better
That was a blast to watch. Plus a Blaze sighting is always great. He’s growing so fast.
Need to get 460 ford
When trucks WERE trucks.
That 454 is sexy though
I’m having trouble believing that dodge didn’t get death wobble on those drag races lol
Nice work on lifting with your backs instead of your legs. One day you might be lucky enough to have had 3 herniated discs like me!
So many people do that😂
Lol them young fellas obviously dont have to lift heavy things for a living.
@@duncdunc76 Yeah I’m a younger fella than them and have to lift tires for my living
What an awesome video. Great job guys.
I think I may have a new favorite TFL video. These guys are the best.
Keep videos like this coming. Love this series.
Limited slip or locker in the Dodge! ASAP!
That much torque, you want a lsd not a locker.
Locker would be good for more extreme terrain. But LSD is not so bad one needs to complain. Stock Dana didnt fail these axles except with none other than axle seals. Worst part about them. Make you wanna slap the momma of the guy who designed them like that.
Back when America cared about a quality product, instead of fuel efficiency.

@@JonBecker81 yes, trucks are way more reliable today with their 10 speed transmissions, turbos, lightweight materials and complicated gadgets.
@@barrybambmessagedeletedbyy7467 and a lot of older trucks weren't reliable either

Yes! That's a fun video!
Not like the many - many repetitive videos Andre is making with the Raptor parked on some fake rocks!
Laughed the whole way. Made my day. Thanks guys.
Fun to watch and looked like a good time.👍
Honestly, I feel like I would buy one of these over newer trucks. Brute power, no luxuries, all utility.
Which car do you like?
I like the dog
You guys should take the F-100 up there
That Dodge has an open rear diff.
That's funny my dad's 94 dakota has limited slip 2wd
Was shooting dirt all the way to the finish.
He spent all that money on power but forgot he needs to get that power to the ground effectively. He Should put a locker in and buy some decent tires.

454 for the win
The black truck is coming along nicely. Good looking headliner too.
Towing comparison with the 1500 dodge too! Loved watching that 2500 Chevy work!
3500
Another fantastic David video. Always enjoy your time out at the ranch. Always!
Everyone is saying it I will join in by saying the videos with David are awesome such a cool guy.

I like the new cordless chainsaws, but for me... Stihl 044 is all I use. Got used to it when I was fighting wildfires.
@11:38 "That's what she said...."
What came of the service engine soon light?
An update on the “cel” for the 454 would be good.
this is gold. TFL should just dedicate a channel for a diy reality show with ya'll going on adventures with each other. don't forget blazey.
Should’ve brought Steaks and Beer! Fun Times!
Perfect! Let’s eat!
Veggie burgers are the worst. Damn dude I hate both of those things -Tommy
I’d take the Cummins any day over the gassers lol Cummins is a way more capable of being a powerhouse.
Well duh there is no fair comparison between Cummins and a 90s GM V8 💀
Dodge is slow.

Ahh, that was great...you guys are crazy!
Loving the David, Tommy, Chase trio
The drone shots help put the terrain into context. Beautiful country there.
Yay, the rear bumper of the black 454 Powder Keg works well
Yup kase is going to need either limited slip or lockers for the differentials to get better traction on these drag races or even to go off roading
Why didn't you call me. I live nearby in Livermore with a 2001 F-250 with a 7.3 - All stock with 340k on the odometer.
I would have come out to see how it stacks up.
This was a fun one to watch thanks fellas! Davids the kinda fella ya want around when the going gets interesting👍
Love the ranch videos!! Keep em coming and y’all stay safe out there
looks like a great day guys thanks for sharing
Seriously, best video yet. Please keep up these shenanigans.
Trailers..... need a loaded trailer drag race ;-)
Blaze is getting so big,he does look like he enjoys the ranch
Awesome video!
A real chainsaw would have been able to cut up everything cuz you didn't hardly cut nothing on a single tank of gas
It is amazing how far trucks power and torque have come. The big block 454 has less power and torque then a 5.3 (the 5.3 makes 383 torque, but with easy to find e85, it makes noticably more).
Nice old fashioned real-world testing between friends. Good stuff
Awesome Race!!!😃😀😆😄 3 really cool 😎 truck's...Nice job Tommy and Kase and David!!
Daaaang. That was a sick race
Hearing someone say they got a 2nd gen 12v cummins that clean for 8k sounds like they're from another planet
Reminds me of drag racing four wheelers at the farm
In all honesty im not brand loyal so all the trucks did pretty awesome i agree with that ugly brush guard on that k1500 though kills that good looking front end on the obs chevy take it off
Where’s the 5.7 350
All Sick Trucks!!!

Super cool truck this is why I watch your channel!! Love it 😍
this channel is so fun, all the guys are so friendly and awesome!
I wonder if different trans fluid would smooth up that NV4500
Fun Video I love it when you guys go to Davids ranch! Keep up the great work.
This is the content I love. Great video.
All Tfl drag races need to be run through yak turds. Loved it lol!
To me the Cummins will always be the best in my heart.
Most impressive thing in this video is that chain saw. Was just looking at that same model and this helped make my decision.
Get a gas saw you won’t regret
I grew up with a good running 2nd gen dodge ram 1500 with a 5.2. I plan on getting a 2nd gen dodge ram 1500 with a 5.9.
David, your property is awesome! Have you thought about putting a Gear Venders overdrive in your trucks?
Cool video guys. Keep up the great work. Love the content!
I like that pupper! TFL Doggo!
Wish I could get my 95 1 ton 6.5 there. Be kinda fun to see
