Beautiful truck, I was a diehard GM guy until I went and bought a 19 5th gen ram 1500 it's a triple Black Laramie Sport with the Hemi and 3.92 gears.. just rolled 107k miles and still love it, been a great truck I just recently had to replace the water pump and a few broken exhaust manifold bolts. I still love the truck and debating on buying the new 25 model with the high output I-6. 540 class leading horse power yes please.. just gonna be hard to get past the sound. Lol thanks for sharing I want to build one of these with a hellcat and 8spd.. one day. Lol
@@bmf88 Thanks. I'd like to have another 2nd Gen. Ram 2wd shortbed to build. I'd like to either do a 392 Hemi swap or build a supercharged Magnum stroker. I would feel bad about cutting my truck, so I'd want something I could c-notch the frame to drop it down more than my truck and maybe do a 4th gen Ram interior swap. The 4.7 and Hemi trucks had water pump and exhaust manifold issues. I have had two 4.7s with those issues, but they are good engines. I'm an old Mopar guy, but I think my 2019 Challenger 392 T/A will be my last new one. When I replace my wife's 2016 Grand Caravan, I think I'll look at Toyota, Honda, and Kia/Hyundai.
That's a nice SS/T. These truck stand out. I still get complements to this day with mine. I have the belltech kit on mine as well, with the drop spindles. Bought an extra set of ball joints just in case and they are expensive. Figured I better get an extra set while I can. I'm the second owner of my 96 Ram Indy.
Thanks. This truck got a ton of compliments when it was new to 5 years old. After that, I didn't seem to get too many comments. In the last few years, people notice it. I've had a few people show a big appreciation for the truck and its condition. Most people are amazed that I have never used the bed. I still love the truck and enjoy driving it.
Really nice truck! I'm in process of doing a low budget restore/rebuild on an '01 1500 extended cab 4x4. Bought it last year, did the Hughes intake plate. I'm using salvage yard parts for the body and some of the interior, new parts on the engine, suspension/steering, and brakes. We just put a rust free bed from a 2wd truck on it. Cant beat $150 from the salvage yard for a rust free bed......even has the spary in LineX bed liner....lol
Thanks. Good luck with the restoration. I need to hit the junkyards around here to see what's available. I would like to find some good trim parts to keep as spares.
@@GLHS592 there's a black sst at the yard by my work. I don't remember how long it's been there, but the pictures they posted, it still had the wheels. I think it was hit in the front.....might go at lunchtime and have a look.
@GLHS592 So, I went and found that truck. Looks nicer in the pics, looks like it spent it's life outside. Hood, fenders front bumper and grill were hit. Only 3 sst wheels(not gashed up, just need refinishing if you're looking for extra wheels. ) it had a for sale sign behind the seat, didn't say the mileage, but said the 5.9 was strong......some usable trim, and power drivers seat.
I didn't have an SS/T, SRT, or even R/T, however, my FIRST truck/ride ever was a 98 Dodge Ram V8 4×4 5.9L premium gas fed 360 extended cab. She was stock aside from a few tune-ups here and there like better brakes, sound system, throttle body spacer, and straight pipes with no muffler that made it sound like a 70 Dodge charger. Again nothing fancy, but you could literally hear her coming from over 5 miles away (my friends in my younger years would test when they knew how far away I was from picking them up by the loud exhaust) and I had some of my best years of my life, so far, with her, and though sadly I no longer have my black beauty beast, I can for sure say this was in my experiences a DAMN good truck that didn't give me many problems aside from the basics and replacing the fuel pump. I'll eventually get another with two big sisters to add to the family: a newer (nothing too fancy but DEFINITELY good performance) Ram 4×4 'V8 HEMI' truck, and Hellcat red-eye jailbreak challenger to add to them (in a few years lol). Mopar or NO car!
Very nice truck! I had a 2000 R/T Dakota in Flame 🔥 Red with the 360 V8 and loved it. It drank fuel like people breath air, but it sure was fun. Thanks for sharing and stay frosty ✌️
This truck gets 12 mpg in town if you're lucky. I drove to the dealership hoping to see a new Dakota R/T. They hadn't received one yet and my SS/T was sitting on the showroom floor. I would still like to have a nice Dakota R/T.
I thought all of the black SS/Ts had the light gray interior until I saw one at a Mopar show. It was identical to my truck except it had the tan leather interior. I bet the tan interior is pretty rare. I've only seen one in person.
Thanks. If you don't have to drive a vehicle to work and can store it inside, it is much easier to keep them clean. I actually need to clean it up a little. It's still a little dirty from sitting and the recent intake repair.
Thanks! I don't know if these Rams will ever be worth much. Dodge trucks always lag way behind GM pickups in value for some reason. Back when this truck was new, I figured it would be worth as much or more than a same year GM pickup. We all know I was wrong.
@@GLHS592 oh and it only comes in the single cab I’m guessing I have a 96 ram 1500 but the engine got swapped out for a 360 I believe how would I check if it’s a 318 or 360 ?
@@IgobyJayyy There is a casting number around the starter on the engine block. The balancers on the front are different. The 318 has a small smooth looking one. The 360 one has a grove around it.
I misspoke, it has a little over 65.000 miles.

Awesome truck man. I’m trying to find one now to buy. Glad to see you haven’t hacked this one up!!!!
I got one id be willing to get rid of
I gotta 98 Dodge Quad Cab. Bought new in Sarasota, FL with my uncle. He drove it until 2020 when he bought a new Ram. I own the 98 now.
Nice!

Mopar or NO car!
Beautiful truck !! I have a question, would you ever consider selling the rims and tires?
Thanks for the compliment. I would not consider selling the truck or the wheels. I've had the truck way too long and the wheels belong to the truck.
Gorgeous! These truck need more attention!
Thanks. I have loved 2nd generation Rams ever since I saw them in the magazines.
@@GLHS592 for sure! Few ss/t's in my hometown.

Absolute beauty. Kudos on keeping it pristine. Thanks for the video 🙌
I had the same black 98 SST! Love that truck, mine had tan interior

268K on mine, not an st though.
nice truck
So clean, I would have guessed way less miles

Beautiful 2nd gen Dodge ram pickup that is soon to be a classic I'm wondering how come the SS/T came heavy duty service group vs the standard Ram 1500

What size tires you running? Looks great
275/60/17. They are the stock size Thanks.
what tires do you have on it? they look good.
They are Nokian Tires. I need to replace them. They've been on the truck since 2006.
What a beauty
She still looks good
You won’t sell it but..
How much? 😁
$40 billion
Beautiful truck.
Very nce bring more content
Thanks. I'm not really good at making videos. I can't think of enough things to do for content.
I got 196k on my indy that I'm currently restoring
Kevin, Great Truck
Thanks Derek. i never dreamed I'd still have it at this point.
What makes it a sst and or what mods ?
It is a factory package that included the decals, wheels, exhaust, and 5-10 more horsepower.

PRESTINE CONDITION 👍
If you saw it up close, you'd see it isn't pristine. I have tried to take care of it and it is in great condition.
