  • In this video I give a short tour and test drive of a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this truck while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the truck idling as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway on various surfaces. A thorough drive of this truck designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    You cannot beat the sound of a 24V VP44 Cummins. I have had mine almost 2 years now and never listen to the radio. The Cummins engine and Turbo are my music.

      I know I’m 5 years late to ask you this question but have you got any problems? I’m thinking of buying 1999 Ram 2500 with the Cummins and only has 120k KM’s on it.

    for anyone that hateing... this is a real diesel engine..this is how a diesel engine should sound..not that quite diesel crap.. and to me this truck sounds like if I'm on a Kenworth or Freightliner Classic I also love the Caterpillar C15 that's also a great engine but every time I'm in my second gen or 4th gen just cruising around I feel like if I'm inside a semi truck 😍😂👍

    The first Dodge Ram Cummins you uploaded was a 1991 (actually a 1991.5 because it was intercooled). I'm glad you got to do so many generations of Dodge Ram Cummins. After 1998 this generation engine was a 24-valve ISB Cummins but still a 5.9 until 2002.

I do carry alot of supplies in the bed and go off highway alot and I have been thinking about getting a diesel just because I know they can go 500,000 fairly easy with less maintenance than a gas engine.

    Blue Bird and Thomas buses have the 6.7 Cummins engine in them. The ISB seems to be used in a lot of vehicles like the buses, this Dodge truck, the Ford F650, and a few Case IH tractors.
