Man that Cummins is sweet. 6 speed and super clean you should hold on to it for a while cause either way it’ll make you money when you flip it. Great pickup. It’s crazy that rear fenders aren’t rotted!
Uhhh... That Cummins truck has a $5,000 engine and $3,000 transmission. Not to mention the whole truck and the low miles. The other truck is also worth what you paid for both. Yeah I'd say you got an insane deal. Wish I had the money to buy that Cummins from you. Or even the hemi, honestly. Great score.
@@dancurrier6421 Well it's the manual transmission, so no worries there like on the auto. Change the fluid and go. Cummins engines can go 500,000+ so not really concerning though it will need some pricey maintenance.
Those Hemi engines are very stout. I had an 06 that i traded with 215k and it was still going very strong. all i did to the engine was valve cover gaskets, throttle body and water pump. Funny enough i didnt even have to do anything to the trans at that mileage.
Well, once again you've hit the mother load!! Neither truck needs a lot of work....truck prices are very high right now mainly because of availability of new units. Great job!!
Good way to check the clutch, get up to 5th gear, and goose the accelerator hard. If the tac stays steady, the clutch is good. If it jumps, may need to look into a new clutch.
Just replaced all 4 trailer brakes on my tool trailer, even at 10 gain, at idle, pointing uphill, the Cummins still bitched it up. The torque is insane.
I'm in western Mass and half the population here would sell their family members to get their hands on the 6 speed Cummins not to mention without the fender rot! Great score bud!
You absolutely killed it at that auction! If you keep the Cummins you should sell one of your other trucks just to keep the money flowing for more flips. Awesome job!
If your gonna buy a jump box, I highly recommend the JNC 660. I got mine at the dump, when it was still brand new, and I have used the snot outta it. It has never let me down, and will jump start anything.
You have definitely proven me wrong. Whenever I see these trucks, especially a 2500, I think of the worlds rustiest trucks but you own probably the only one I’ve seen that hasn’t rusted yet! Great deal!
What a score.. Both are nice. Like another commenter said Keep the Cummins and use it to haul your purchases back. The best part about it was it being a manual transmission. Dodge’s are known for horrifically weak automatic transmissions. Father had bought a Chrysler 5th Avenue car. Right at 37,000 or 38,000 miles. Right after warranty expired. Boom transmission went out.
Just found your channel and loving all these cars, the big Dodge and Chevrolet trucks, in Scotland UK we don't get anything like these, been binge watching the videos since yesterday, even the battered rusty ones I'd take any day. Watched the Fiat 500 one last night, I worked for Fiat for 3 years ...and I've never owned a Fiat ...says it all. Loving the Dodge trucks definitely
I see that GMT400 Burb in the background, isn't that Jeb's truck or is that one you bought? Also, I've never seen a mid 00's RAM with the Cummins, single rear wheel 3500, and the manual before, that's one heck of a combo! It'd be a solid daily, or it would be a massive profit, that's gotta be a $12K+ truck up in Vermont.
i think you should start out asking more for both trucks. yea i love stick too, first gear is always wicked low in a truck , you can start out in second unless you just feel like shifting for the fun of it but you will get tired of it after awhile. the frames are good and that is worth a lot of money. good luck
Good deals. I love my 3rd gen cummins. Easy to work on and ample power for towing. Town trucks have been idled forever though. I worked for a highway dept for a few years and the trucks got started in the morning and not shut off until the end of the day so factor that into your decision. That 225k miles is equal to a lot more use than a normal truck.
Used to be Abel to get some fantastic deals on the local towns cars, but everything went online and the deals dried up. You got super lucky for sure, that Diesel was an absolute steal, doubly so with the manual that’s very hard to come by. Well done !!
Gonna comment again for the algorithm. Watched this vid of yours a few times. The cummins is a good deal for sure, but I think everyone is really overlooking the gas job which is rust free, and only has 50,000 miles. Easy, easy sell in my opinion. Your market is much larger selling a gas job than a diesel.
I remember in 2004 when they came out with the revised 5.9 Cummins with 600ft lbs of torque, my dad had just started with a new company and they let him pick whatever truck he wanted, he always had Ford trucks with the 7.3, and he went with this new Cummins. Man that truck was a beast, and they just kept getting better and better. Here in Ohio, that 6 Speed 3500 4WD Cummins is worth 20 grand. I've seen worse shape ones with more miles go for 20k here. Nice scores man. I'm a Chevy/GM guy, daily an 01 Yukon XL, but I love Dodge trucks. I've owned 2 2nd gen rams now and I remember driving my dad's 04 when I had my Temps back in 05.
Very nice trucks! Good deal! Dead battery is likely why your gauges acted up and the ce light was on in the cummins truck. I’d keep the cummins and enjoy it awhile.
you have your 1500 chevy and have mentioned towing heavier loads does not inspire the most confidence... so like others are saying, keep the cummins, it will retain its value if kept up easily not to mention you will have a fun reliable diesel to tow with!
That was a steal of a buy especially the cummins and manual. Tech was common issue on the 2006. In the gauge cluster bad solder joints..probably has 4.10 gears
The old Cummins 12-valve with mechanical fuel injection is the best thing you could find. Now all you have to do is seal that transfer case solenoid - up here where road salt is all too common those solenoids don't last because they get salt and water into them.
Need to take oil filler cap off while truck is warmed up and see if a lot of vapor coming out and balance the cap on the oil filler and see if it bounces around and falls of may have bad rings on piston and can cause to much blow bye .just a quick way to check to see if motor is good and they probably thinking that it may need injectors and that’s may be the reason they got ride of.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a Cummins with a manual trans. I think that’s pretty cool. I can see why they would be highly sought after, especially considering where you’re located.
Cummings are great, as long as you can take a loan out when you need parts (compared to gas) but they are reliable. Gauge cluster on Chryslers are known to have cold soldier problems on the main connection, super easy to fix, pull the cluster and heat um up and reflow them, they are not tiny connections so pretty easy for even novice soldier attempt. maybe not on that year but I Have done it on earlier years a few times.
Great deal on those trucks! I agree with a lot of the comments, Keep the Cummins... Its nice having a Cummins with a manual, I regret selling my 2006 2500.
I love your video.... Good hustle.. was wondering why you ain't get a hauler for someone who is capable of bidding on multiple cars because I think it would be much better for you financially
that is a hell of a score i work for a municipality here in ny and was looking to see what was going up for sale and the equipment was run down and the bids were astronomical not as clean as those two vehicles and mileage.
If you sell those trucks at the prices you said your low balling yourself. It's nice to do a quick flip in all but the availability of decent used vehicles is at an all time low and that drove the prices way up. Good luck on the next flip. I can't wait to see the next one!
NICE ! I am from Mad river Valley had a B and B back in the late 80s there in Moretown. Great trucks had a 97 cummins 500K never a problem with it sold it last year for 7K
Huge score. Keep the Cummins and sell the green Chevy. You could make a good profit of it. The Cummins seems more capable of towing and you really seem to like it.
Good find !! Finally something that's not eat up with rust , good for you man . Sell them all and make enough to buy you a low mileage southern rust free diesel, (Texas or Arizona) then undercoat it , then use it to tow with !! Just my two cents and opinion . Great video
The guy cutting you off and forgetting to hit the stop, then getting a free wash is hilarious! Pulled over on a road trip and parked away from everyone in a nearly empty public transit lot. Some guy parks right next to me and slams his truck door into mine. Shook the whole car, woke up my wife and I. Sat up and looked at the guy like, what, why? He proceeds to flip me off and strut away like he'd won the day. Get's on the transit rail and leaves. There's a huge dent on the side of my car door and the paint was scrapped. Obviously this wasn't the first time he'd done it. The truck door while mostly white, on the sides there was multiple colors of paint from previous victims. So I crawled up under his truck with some scissors. Chopped a length of his starter solenoid wire and cut off his transmission wiring plug. He wasn't going anywhere soon and neither was that truck. Never done anything like that before or since, but sometimes, some people have it coming. VT247
Is there any way to be notified of these auctions? I always went to Gray's auctions in Fairlee, but our wonderful governor said no way to those last summer. Keep the Cummins. I've got an 06 mega cab Cummins. Great truck.
I have an old friend here in Texas who is in the car business. He has a slogan...”make me an offer, cause I ain’t married to none of em”. Great deal on those trucks young man! Although Texas is Ford Country, we have a few Dodges and Chevies around.
That is interesting, I didn’t even think about that but yes, Vermont requires an active registration card along with proof of insurance. How did you get around those little details? Maybe a dealership can inspect an unregistered and uninsured vehicle? You have a buddy that owns a shop? Either way Vt is strict now and the inspector has to send photos to the state if done by a valid Vermont inspection station.
KEEP the cummins. There are next to none left that are in that good of shape and you wont find another like it.
That thing is like finding a gold mine
Make it the new work truck. Retire the old box truck... Maybe?
Money pits
Around the Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas and Texas state line. They sell many many Cummins from 92-08 usually on FB. In my town there is plenty of 08’s.
That truck is in good shape??
Keep the Cummins. Use it tow your trucks from the auctions or sales!
i'll keep it for a little while!

Definitely keep the Cummins and use it as your tow rig like it's supposed to be used for and hey it mixes it up a little bit from all chevy
Not a big dodge guy but I would totally keep that cummins
Good way to check the clutch, get up to 5th gear, and goose the accelerator hard. If the tac stays steady, the clutch is good. If it jumps, may need to look into a new clutch.
Get the interiors professionally detailed, you will make a pretty great profit
If I were you I would defiantly keep the Cummins. And if you ever wanted to get rid of it you still wouldn’t be at a loss. Nice rig👍
Where tf are y’all finding this good deals I been looking for 2 years
Keep the Cummins just remember that ten grand in value will stay there if you keep it nice
Just replaced all 4 trailer brakes on my tool trailer, even at 10 gain, at idle, pointing uphill, the Cummins still bitched it up. The torque is insane.
I'd get the interiors professionaly valeted you'd increase end profit.Great purchase!
plastic bumper repair on the 4 door. Never seen that done and would be interesting to see if possible. Good scores
Nice score! I'm painted green with envy. Love those Rams
I agree , keep the Cummins ! Great rig ! Even better at the price.
I'm in western Mass and half the population here would sell their family members to get their hands on the 6 speed Cummins not to mention without the fender rot! Great score bud!
Those trucks look amazing for their age! That Cummins does look like a keeper.
You absolutely killed it at that auction! If you keep the Cummins you should sell one of your other trucks just to keep the money flowing for more flips. Awesome job!
It's so weird seeing these two trucks with that little rust, especially in vermont
Fleet vehicles are usually kept in great shape
I hope you did the right thing and left it on for the person who was going to use it after you.
ha im not quite that mean! although maybe the niceness to the person behind me would cancel it out....
Keep that Cummins. Don’t ever see a Cummins that clean with a manual!
Great score on the car wash!!!
And on the trucks. ;)

Love the sound of the hemi
Keep the cummins!! It’ll a breath of fresh air from Chevy LOL. Lots of power for towing aswell.
i would keep the cummins way better for towing then the chevy 1/2 ton plus it’s manual so no worries of the auto crapping out
I need to start checking out my local county auctions, Copart auctions are going WAY overpriced!
Still on fire catching those deals! I know the money is tempting on the Cummins, but I would definitely keep it. It was an absolute steal!
Keep the Cummins for sure hands down! Great snag btw :)
You're like a kid on Christmas! Great video!
dreams are made of these. I miss my Ram daily
Keep the Cummins I wanna see you rollin in Style
The Cummins has a more authentic diesel sound to it.
What a score..

Very good deal, just a bit surprised you got them for so cheap auctions around here are ridiculously have ridiculously high prices.
Score! When the Diesel Gods smile upon thee, say thank you and drive on!
You should keep that dodge 3500 it’s so clean for the year!
I see that GMT400 Burb in the background, isn't that Jeb's truck or is that one you bought?

that is jeb's rig yep. And yea that cummins is purty sweet!
Good deal is right ,especially for a east coast rig. I’m happy I live on the west coast and don’t have to deal with rusty rigs.
you should keep the ol cummins for the heavier trucks or cars you buy so that the 1500 wont be stressin
i think you should start out asking more for both trucks. yea i love stick too, first gear is always wicked low in a truck , you can start out in second unless you just feel like shifting for the fun of it but you will get tired of it after awhile. the frames are good and that is worth a lot of money. good luck
10k? Awesome price, great deal for someone. If I needed a diesel, 1 ton, crew cab, 6 speed, I’d buy it. Good job, keep on flipping!
I think if you like her you should keep the cummins. And sell the 5.7 hemi
I dont care what they're worth bud, just glad to see another new video 👍👍
Awesome deals tho so well done 👍👍

I'm out of the Dodge game now but that's a killer deal man! Worth more for sure
6 speed for 4K Jesus. Massive steal
Makes a solid profit on both trucks....still excited about the free car wash. It's the little things that keep life interesting :)
As a Vermonter, nice to see one of our own on YT. Keep it up bro
2 sweet trucks.

Lemme know if either of these are gonna be sold soon! Both are awesome and I need a work truck bad!

Can't believe you bought those that cheap
You should put your own custom logo magnet on the side where the Transportation Logo was.
Please tell me you kept the manual Cummins right?

Congratulations, i wish i could find such sweet deals where i live
That 6 speed is a very sought after truck. Took me several months looking all around the southern part of the country for one.
That 3500 is sweet. With a little bit of love; it’ll be a keeper.
your not going to check out the roof light on the 5.7?
couldnt find the switch for it!
Both surprisingly clean for being 3rd gens. Usually the 3rd gens rust worse that the 2nd or 1st gens.
Id love to see the cummins stay for awhile, but theres good money there! Without it being a mega cab, you got the best truck dodge has made in awhile!
Man nice finds. Id keep the cummins if I were you.
I have an old friend here in Texas who is in the car business. He has a slogan...”make me an offer, cause I ain’t married to none of em”.
Great deal on those trucks young man! Although Texas is Ford Country, we have a few Dodges and Chevies around.
That Cummins can tow two cars easy and for what you do it’s a great truck to keep
That cummins looks sick! Bro should definitely keep it!
Not junk, I'd drive these.
Thanks for the video.
Stickshift Cummins my dream powertrain. But in a squarebody Chevy. Good score!
good job, interesting that Vermont allows inspection without being registered...nice !
That is interesting, I didn’t even think about that but yes, Vermont requires an active registration card along with proof of insurance. How did you get around those little details? Maybe a dealership can inspect an unregistered and uninsured vehicle? You have a buddy that owns a shop?
