jump start is common in sleeper cabs and RV's that have a separate battery setup to run lights, heaters, tv's and charge phones etc. But if you kill your main starting battery you can use your Sleeper batteries to "Jump" your main starting battery.
I love this rig. You'd be surprised how well that carpet will come up with a proper deep clean. Take it out, give it a go over with the pressure washer and soap, then degreaser and a steam vacuum.
Simple Green is an excellent degreaser... put it on fully concentrated out in the warm sun and let it sit for a few minutes, then use a drill-powered scrubber on it and rinse with a low-powered pressure cleaner. Repeat if necessary when extremely dirty. Then use a steamer vacuum on it and your carpet will look as good as it's ever going to get again.
The old 93 Ram 3500 looks pretty good. A little bit of boffin to the paint, paint the tailgate. Fix a tiny bit of rusty issue above those rear doors and it's gonna look awesome. It's a nice look and truck. And very rare. You don't see a lot of those rams with a sleeper conversion. It's actually kind of cool
we have my late dads 5500 2010 dodge ram tradesman, but its sat dead with it just not starting again, could be the alternator since the batteries are basically new, it was also a highway hauler before my dad got it at 444k miles, no def fluid at least!
3in lift all around all terrains winch power converter and this truck is everything a man could ask think of dream want and leave his family for and every other man would understand.... lol not the fam part but......
Awesome truck. I love it. It literally starts, sounds and smokes exactly like my 97 12 valve. When I got mine the whole inside was covered with diesel. I parked it on an incline so the water would run out and sprayed the whole thing out with a pressure washer after spraying laundry detergent inside.
There was only like 2 companies that took long bed ext cab 1st and 2nd gen dodge trucks and made them into 4 door trucks and sold em that way from what I can find. I'd love to have one of each in good shape.
Just a tip for next time youre cleaning leather or vinyl like that you can use a drill with a brush attatchment. Me and my Dad used to do it to clean mold off of boat seats. Love the truck tho!
This truck is so damn cool. Perfect truck for hot shot hauling. Aint gotta hit no motel /hotel if you on a long one. I bet this truck will bring some damn good money to the right man
Love the truck, should have pulled out the seats and ran the pressure washer on them and even on the carpet it’s a faster and cleaner wash! Excellent work though! And like your dad said in the video “you don’t have to yell” 😅😅
Try using "Rust Cutter" or "Coreseal" on the rust. It turns it into black color chemically , seizing the rust, then prime and top coat it with spray paint.
I'm a Ford guy, but I have a Cummins in my combine. I love my 7.3 power stroke ! But this ole gal your bringing back to life is AWESOME!! KEEP US POSTED! thanks, enjoy your video, and I'm subbed! Be safe fellas, merry Christmas to y'all! 👍
@@RealSteelFabrications hey, maybe throw in some short vids on your project? Just a thought. I've never seen that can style before, and I'm very excited to see her all shined up!!! Thanks again for sharing!!
Love the truck I would have ripped the interior out and cleaned it with everything out and pressure wash that carpet it probably would have been a lot easier getting it cleaned
The relays that the "jumpstart" button activate look like the grid heater relays. They are activated by ground closing the circuit to allow power to cross and heat the grid. When the PCM ground would go out on the second gens you just ran a wire from battery ground to switch and switch to the relay. Once the button is pushed the circuit is closed. Look up grid heater relays and you'll see what i mean.
Id like to know how in the world you got a hold of that tailgate, especially in that color. I’ve got a 90 dually that is the color of the tailgate and I’ve only ever seen 2 pictures of other first gens that same color. That’s a slick truck though man!
One wire alternators are the way to go from what I have heard. The PCM has the voltage regulator built in it. I think the TPS on the autos feeds into it, maybe just for the overdrive. It may have something to do with the AC too. That VR you found on the passenger side was not original. Lots of info out there. CutterupRob has a good video on how to convert your alternator into a 1 wire. I'm not on telescope.
Is there a specific name for these types of rigs? I had the idea to do something like this with a modern quad cab and then come find out last year that they've been doin it since *_way_* back. They sure are cool! Especially with a Cummins!
Hey, Dodge has something in common with the old Soviet Union. Apart from the legendary12-valve Cummins and the 727-based transmissions, the rest of the truck may as well have been built in Soviet Russia.
Per one gallon of spray bottle three tablespoons of soap, two cups of bleach, rest of gallon ,water Leave for 30min , then pressure wash .would have come out perfect. I have a house cleaning business, that's how I clean old houses and it works wonders
Go with the brand PA performance, they make a few different styles of the one wire alternator, I had bought one for my second gen Cummins, will never look back best decision.
Using Dawn platinum dish soap to hand mop it will really help provide a clean surface for a fresh buff and wax. If you plan on doing that to the truck. Also, it is really good for taking off old wax for future applications.
This is like the 130 thousand dollar truck of today. Top of the line of its time.
You got that right!
They've already skyrocketed in value, to roughly half that.
I would daily drive the hell out of this. Turning every head at the mall. This has got the detail geek written all over it
W.
Super fun to drive!
Ngl u not turning no heads at the mall with it😂
Good luck in finding a parking spot with it
@@Keezy-1 you're right. No one goes to the mall anymore. Lol

Good to know
I love this rig.

Thanks! A couple people have mentioned the steam vacuum, will have to try it out.

So is this ur dad's or ur truck
Did u buy it or ur dad
I love that first gen Cummins sound. Always look forward to the next videos in this series.
Appreciate it!
This baby needs a complete restoration! She is beautiful
Sure is
Factory voltage regulator is under the driver side fender. It's in the PCM.
I would have vacuumed (dry cleaned) it first before I did any scrubbing.
But you have made a good improvement.
Great work, truck is looking beautiful. looking forward to more fixes and upgrades!
Thanks! More to come.
Would you sell it
awesome truck man. How about a steam vacuum cleaner to sterilize and get that grime out of the interior. she's a jewel !!
Need to! Appreciate it
1 wire is the only way to go on the alternator. I did it on one of mine and forgot I had a problem! What a mess that driver's fender is! I'm hooked!
You and your dad really know your stuff, man. Super impressive.
I appreciate that!
Man, that's like a dream truck to me.
Isn’t it awesome!
Some H4 Amazon conversion headlight bulbs are cheap, better lighting, and not hideous like the led bulbs that burn out every month.

Very rare! The rust is going to be the hardest fix along that drip rail
@@RealSteelFabricationsmore one sub from Brazil 🇧🇷
That's worth keeping , make sure rest of all the suspension is good ,

That looks like a battery isolator. Hook up your "house" battery to one of those terminals
Interior is the best a new look and keep the bed add a tv and its a home on wheels in the end thats all we really need
Now you got the formula dude! 21 minutes is such a good length! Great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
3in lift all around all terrains winch power converter and this truck is everything a man could ask think of dream want and leave his family for and every other man would understand.... lol not the fam part but......
in the feature if you have vinyal or leather seats use mr cleans on them with some car cleaner and it'll take whatever is on it right off.
Thanks for the info
Waiting to see update of this thing
Looks awesome dude, amazing how much this has cleaned up/how well it's running!
Thanks a ton!
Awesome truck. I love it. It literally starts, sounds and smokes exactly like my 97 12 valve. When I got mine the whole inside was covered with diesel. I parked it on an incline so the water would run out and sprayed the whole thing out with a pressure washer after spraying laundry detergent inside.
Awesome rig. Please continue showing videos content on this truck.
Thanks! Will do!
My dad got his dads first gen and it has a turbo and its been sitting since 2009 and it fires right up and he’s gonna rebuild its gonna be so cool
Awesome. Good luck on the project
that truck has a nice deep sound with the stacks on it
it sure does
Big improvement. Bet a hand held steam cleaner would go even farther.
You red my mind
Will have to give it a try
Def help killing some mold using it. Good luck.
What a wicked truck with an engine that was built to last!
For sure!
I really love the look of this pick-up truck.... I would love to drive one of these :)
It’s a lot of fun! New video out on it now
There was only like 2 companies that took long bed ext cab 1st and 2nd gen dodge trucks and made them into 4 door trucks and sold em that way from what I can find. I'd love to have one of each in good shape.
You should use a ozone generator in the interior it kills smells, mold and bacteria
Shit man, this thing is so sick. Like a previous commenter said; needs a full resto. Such a rare find. Love these damn diesels.
Would love to bring it back to original condition
@@RealSteelFabrications absolutely. You got this! When you’re done with it, it’s gonna look beyond cool I’m sure!! It already looks rad! Lol
French watcher here , Still in love with this f*cking truck ! can't wait to see the next video.
Glad you like it!
Dream truck for sure, over all new Cummins
Could not agree more
Just a tip for next time youre cleaning leather or vinyl like that you can use a drill with a brush attatchment. Me and my Dad used to do it to clean mold off of boat seats. Love the truck tho!
Great tip!
Oh man how I would like to own that rig over here in the uk its sounds and looks amazing
Thanks!
This truck is so damn cool. Perfect truck for hot shot hauling. Aint gotta hit no motel /hotel if you on a long one. I bet this truck will bring some damn good money to the right man
Would be awesome to drive the country in!
I wonder how many of these conversation 3 doors were made? I've only seen this 1 and 1 more & that was 25+ yrs ago in Oklahoma.
Not very much
What a transformation so far!!! Very cool
Coming along!
I love that truck. Was bidding on a Ford F600 with a pick up box on it last weekend but it got out of reach
Appreciate it! Ahhh man, hopefully you can get your hands on one.
I was the one who brought it I am in love with it.
It’s like a mini semi!
Sure is
Ya, the technical term for that ball joint is "Not Good". Just like your dad said LOL.
Love the truck, should have pulled out the seats and ran the pressure washer on them and even on the carpet it’s a faster and cleaner wash! Excellent work though! And like your dad said in the video “you don’t have to yell” 😅😅
Good candidate for a interior swap
I think so too!
Try using "Rust Cutter" or "Coreseal" on the rust. It turns it into black color chemically , seizing the rust, then prime and top coat it with spray paint.
Your truck is a beauty
Appreciate it
Sweet truck! I would drive that over a new one any day!
You and me both!
Mr Clean magic eraser would also help
didnt think my day could get any better. Then i see you upload a new video
Love to hear it!
She purrs Cummins.👍💯thanks for sharing..👌👌
Following from Long Island, new Sub.

Dad goes quit yelling 😂

I meant cab style, flipping spell check!?😁
Hope @justdiesels catches this project.
Love the truck I would have ripped the interior out and cleaned it with everything out and pressure wash that carpet it probably would have been a lot easier getting it cleaned
That is what needs to be done
she's comin' around. Look forward to these vids. Keep up the good work.
I hope you get your hands on a bunch of money, and renovate the hole truck! I subscribed to this channel just for that truck! 😁
If the videos keep doing well, it will get fully restored!
Dude that would be awesome!! I’ll share your channel with all my friends!! 😁
Absutely love this truck, jealous as hell. ❤❤

She sure is
Great job. The wheel covers did the trick.
I think so too!
yeah but one slight hit of a curb or a pothole and those hubcaps are flyin into the ditch lol
@@Freshprankstv1 Yep
Bag it on big boys, that truck is 👌
Would be sweet on bags
Id like to know how in the world you got a hold of that tailgate, especially in that color. I’ve got a 90 dually that is the color of the tailgate and I’ve only ever seen 2 pictures of other first gens that same color. That’s a slick truck though man!
One of my dad’s buddies has a parts truck that color, that’s where we got it
A friend of mine had it on a old truck bed he had in a field and he actually owned 3 first gens that color since iv known him.

@@RealSteelFabrications yaaa
This thing is sick. I would have blacked all the chrome out.! Thats just me lol
Appreciate it! I like the chrome
Looks great already, trucks (utes) in aus are very popular, but a good deal smaller! Great work, respect from Brisbane, Australia.
Thank you! It is quite large, 23ish ft or about 7ish meters.
I would love to have that truck, so bad ass! Like they say, they don't make em like they used to.
Very true
This truck is a gem!! 💎 brought it back to life brother that thing is awesome 👏🏽
Couldn't agree more!
Looking good ❤❤. Cool truck
Thanks 👍
I love that truck you did such a good job to it keep up the good work keep upgrading I love a old school Cummins

Wonderful "semi" truck🤗
Thank you 🤗
The OCD in me is screaming Take the seats Out lol

Word of mouth from a family friend
Is there a specific name for these types of rigs? I had the idea to do something like this with a modern quad cab and then come find out last year that they've been doin it since *_way_* back.

Good job 👍 looking forward to the next episode!!

Horns are nice and cheap there on the fender nice and easy
Bull horns or honking horn?
I love this truck
The old dodge cummins is coming right along get all that wiring repaired
It sure is. Chrysler wiring.....grrrr
Gotta love an old diesel
For sure!
Looks beautiful
this is a truck that's gonna give back all the care you've put into her and then some
Agreed
Nice find.
