@@daltonroberts7940 an old 12V is not coming anywhere near close too what an L5p with a 10 speed does unless you wanna dump 20 grand in mods 🤷♂ i know hes not stock but still its not gonna hold a candle too it
I’ve done a couple of 90’s Honda builds. Never have messed with diesel engines, but I’ve driven a few, & let me say that’s some quality shifting, and quick too. Nice build, the things you’ve done so far look very clean.
Finally someone that drives like I do! Badass truck, in the process of manual swapping mine, stoked to actually put the power down instead of just spinning that snowmobile clutch slush box 46RH LOL
@@wesscarey4475 Stock they do. Built? Not much better. Only downside is towing heavier, there just aren’t enough gear splits to be in a happy place. A built auto is tough to beat
By far it looks to have the cleanest interior I've see to date on a truck. I can't see the floor but if you've gone through the trouble of Reupholstering the headliner and door panels it's got to nice inside.
That truck sounds amazing! I love the sound of an older Cummins, and that turbo..... Just so nice. I also like how you run through the gears. Thanks for sharing!
I agree, turbo and intercooler piping very cool! May be good to ad some reinforcement at the heater grid joint? Looks really good! TIG not that easy to do............
I diesel swapped my FSJ, om606 in front of an GM NV4500, s200 turbo, mechanical pump. Amazing how good these diesel trucks can sound! I drive it daily and push it hard. While I might not have the torque this monster does, mine will wind out nearly twice as far.
@@snyderkurtis it's going to have to wait until spring. Lots of snow and salt here in Minnesota right now. I will also get it on the dyno in the spring.
I hope you never redo the body. Such a cool idea. Super clean 12v super clean inside. Inconspicuous on the outside. Something about that patina that looks so nice. Maybe because it has to be earned. Nice truck!!!
Bro I was looking at all of this and I was like wow that all looks really familiar. Like I've been on that road plenty of times. Then I realized that that's freaking 7th
Absolutely brilliant video man love those hard accelerations can you please do another one like this one only a lot longer because I love that sound stay safe man thanks
@@Chris-km8wy it's just some fake leather/ vinyl I bought on Amazon. Headliner is just glued on and the door panels I removed and recovered the panel and stapled on the back side.
Love the video truck looks and sounds great but when you rev it, it is best practice to not turn the truck off immediately, you want to let the turbo spool down, don’t want to starve the turbo
Man I love the 1st and 2nd Gen Dodge diesel pickup trucks being a Ford OBS guy. I so wanna get my hands on a 2nd Gen ext cab Long bed 5 or 6 speed manual or build one
This thing sounds fricken good ole boy shit I own obs 7.3 but all boys here in Kentucky ya hear em getting on it in there 12 valves just like this lol I do in my powerstroke but shit can’t beat 12 valve ole son
Example on what trq is. My friend and i own subaru sti s Mine makes 440 at the wheels WHP His 370. My trq numbers ar 379 a wheels His is 420. smaller turbo. I cant beat him if i tried. Goes for gas a diesel. cheers love the truck man
I have a question, I have one of these trucks, but it has the 5spd in 2 wheel drive, do you know if I can just change out the tail shaft to make it accept a transfer case?
love how this old truck could out run most of the modern ones!
Because of smog bullshit.
Probably not lol this truck makes 160 hp stock it ain’t coming close to an l5p with the ten speed Allison
@@rock-uu7qr you do know this truck is clearly not stock right

If your trucks a Cummins it's a 47RH anly gas engines use the 46RH/RE. What you got truck engine wise ?
@@JasonY02 it’s actually either a 727 if it was non intercooled or an A518 which is a beefy 46RH
@@esimler true I was thanking 2nd gen for some reason
Thank you for stating the FACTS. Some people don't like the TRUTH. These transmissions leave a LOT to be desired. A strong manual is the way to go!

@@jamesappel1928 a man who takes pride in their work
Clean in the only places it matters: The engine bay and the interior. Beautiful!

Thanks, Yes I've done lots of work to the interior. Carpet is new as well.
@@jamesappel1928 hey sick build. What brand is the he351cw and and what axle gears do you have?
such loyal trucks. that thing was started before you even touched the key😂
You know its fast when it looks fast on camera beautiful truck man!
Man, this truck is really nice, and the perspective is perfect, please make more like this!!

These videos are priceless in a world where emissions and the push for zero emissions are becoming a real world thing.
Great truck and proper driving. You'd do great driving an old 2 stroke Detroit Diesel powered truck.
This is the greatest video UA-cam has ever recommended to me
12 valves sound awsome
I can listen to the sound all day! Happy Smooth shifting!
I agree, turbo and intercooler piping very cool! May be good to ad some reinforcement at the heater grid joint? Looks really good! TIG not that easy to do............
Such a nice, classic truck which besides showing it age a little, has been taken good care of. Sweet ride!
That old motor still got it man I love old vehicles I want a first gen
The welds on the intercooler piping. Thing of beauty.
I diesel swapped my FSJ, om606 in front of an GM NV4500, s200 turbo, mechanical pump. Amazing how good these diesel trucks can sound! I drive it daily and push it hard. While I might not have the torque this monster does, mine will wind out nearly twice as far.
Om606's are awesome! It's definitely on the list of future builds. I almost bought one a few weeks back.
Straightest driving Dodge pickup ever. Awesome!
That looks like a very fun truck
It certainly is and I just did a bunch of upgrades that about doubled the power since this video.
@@jamesappel1928 can we get the updated video
@@snyderkurtis it's going to have to wait until spring. Lots of snow and salt here in Minnesota right now. I will also get it on the dyno in the spring.

Bro you got the dealership gauges , manual and a 12 valve. That’s is a awesome truck bro
Gawlee this is a southern boys dream truck. I want one that fast in that good of shape
Wow amazing welds!!!!!!!!!
Nice. I have an 89 W250 and I installed an NV4500 and removed the 727 auto. So much better now. Aloha
Curious how you sealed the back half?
Mine leaks …should have cut an o ring or come up with a seal on tranny output shaft
I came across this cummins video randomly and did not expect to see 7th Ave lol
Wow! That was great! Thank You for the ride!

@@jamesappel1928can you post some more vids of this truck
Damn that’s a good running old truck I’d love to find one ✌️🇺🇸
👍 love it. Hate the truck market in the here and now.
Nice truck man...I like the diamond interior
Nice truck. I recognized Anoka immediately lol
Very nice 1st gen. Love it.
Did you do the door panels and head liner yourself looks great.
Yes I did
@@jamesappel1928 What material are they and how did you do those?

Link to the Amazon product?
You must be hard on the parts..! ;) Just THRASHIN! Sounds good man.
She moves and grunts nicely
The ol’ girl looks to run very well! Love it
That Patina is Awesome!!
Ol truck sounds stout as hell. Sweet video and badass truck💪
got that pride stare down at 0:57 then almost getting into a wreck (almost)
I saw that too lol
Badass truck sounds great! I'm jealous of the steering haha seems like I'm always fighting mine.
Love the video truck looks and sounds great but when you rev it, it is best practice to not turn the truck off immediately, you want to let the turbo spool down, don’t want to starve the turbo
Im used to the clunky zf6 in my f250, that nv4500 looks smooth as butter
It's not as smooth at it looks but it does have a fresh rebuild.
Nice build man!
Awesomeness! She sounds great.
Beautiful truck👍
That’s mint nice truck bro
nice paint job the mug make it look good
Like everything about your truck
Any front end mods for death wobble….steering gear mods?
She handles nicely….!
All the front end components are new and its a 2wd so it drives pretty well. Steering gear is original though.
That’s how you drive a Cummins 💪👊
Thing sounds and runs good!
1:53 I feel butterflies on mi stomach
The engine that saved dodge.
Great video liked and subscribed
anyone else notice the speedometer max out?😂🤙
you've convinced me. I think its time to buy a first gen lol.
Well did you buy one??
No shit, I thought this truck looked familiar, met you at the coon rapids cruise
Yeah you probably did.
👍 I have a 99 with 185,000 and no leaks at all,
Enjoy my daily drives
Man I love the 1st and 2nd Gen Dodge diesel pickup trucks being a Ford OBS guy. I so wanna get my hands on a 2nd Gen ext cab Long bed 5 or 6 speed manual or build one
Would like to see another vid on the truck.. are those black raceline rockcrusher?
Ayooo I love your truck
Do you still have this truck? 👍
Still waiting for the updated test drive!
Awesome truck!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
great machinary sir
Amazing truck dude. What fuse box is that? Love how clean it looks you’d have to know these trucks to see all you have done it’s so subtle and clean.
The fuse box is from a 99 jeep cherokee. You think it looks clean now, just wait for the next video in the spring. It's on a whole new level.
@@jamesappel1928 can’t wait. Any other socials you use so I can follow?
@@brettrobinson1430 only instagram which I see you found already.
Amazing video!!
Great setup you got there. Seems a lil too smokey for my taste... does she roal coal when driving along? How much HP?
Sounds great!
looks like so much fun
That’s a kickass truck
This is the truck to have to survive the zombie apocalypse or the EPA apocalypse, which ever is first.
Yeah... I definitely need to nv4500 swap mine now, what turbo you running?
Nice truck brother
I’m a ford guy and I got 2 obs 7.3 personally I hate dodge but that truck is nice and fast
Thanks man. It's a heap ton faster right now than it was in this video. A new video will be up in the spring.
@@jamesappel1928upload bro it’s been 2 years

You betcha!
Badass truck man
Sweet truck
thats hella clean
absolutely beautiful truck dude 🤘🤘
Hell yea brother! that thing runs good! What EGT and boost you see at the top of those pulls? I want to HE351 swap my first gen soon..
This he351 is far from stock but it never gets over 1200 degrees no matter what. I've only got it set at 25psi right now.
What's done to it? Love the sound
I’m about to order a eBay he351cw is that a Chinese turbo? How is it holding up?
@@lancow1234 no this turbo is from turbo labs of America. Wasn't cheap.
@@jamesappel1928 sweet is it the upgraded turbine and compressor? Or just 1 or the other.
What all have you done to the engine ??? That truck runs strong
Did u leave the clamp off the compressor so u can pull it off and stop a run away just in case?
Where did you get the diamond leather for the headliner and doors?
i wanna buy this off you like omg i fckin love this ole 12v
Example on what trq is. My friend and i own subaru sti s Mine makes 440 at the wheels WHP His 370. My trq numbers ar 379 a wheels His is 420. smaller turbo. I cant beat him if i tried. Goes for gas a diesel. cheers love the truck man
What is the wheel and tire package on that truck and what front suspension mods did you have to do?
And door panels???
Nice truck
Damn it boy she runs good an that I interior you said got the stuff from Amazon did it your self ? I like it man
Yes that is correct. Thanks I appreciate it.
How fast it actually goes bruh?
What fuel mileage do you get? Going to look at a 2wd with the same setup.
What head liner and door panels are they I want them
I have a question, I have one of these trucks, but it has the 5spd in 2 wheel drive, do you know if I can just change out the tail shaft to make it accept a transfer case?
Need to swap the tail housing and output shaft.
This is evil😍
