Flag Ov Hate, sometimes I wish they hadn’t had sold those trucks up there, but then again I’d like to get one of those where the frame is gone but the motor is still good. Pluck the motor & throw it in place of a 7.3 Powerstroke. The 7.3s are better than the new ones but I’d take an idi or a Cummins over a Powerstroke. They’re so freaking expansive to fix, frigin epa electrical crap.
I had an 89 W250 3-speed auto. I sold it last year and got a 5.9cr 3rd gen. What I disliked the most, besides being a standard cab, was the lack of top speed. They were made for the 55 speed limit and stock it was frustrating to keep up with the rest of the traffic. It sold in 1 hour and I got almost enough for the upgrade to the newer Ram.
We have an '89 Dodge with the 5.9 Cummins, and every time I drive it I'm afraid the truck will fall apart. It's not the engine I worry about, it's everything surrounding the engine. He was spot on with the farm abuse though. Ours will start and run, and that's about it. Doors won't shut, wipers don't work, 4WD is gone, shocks are nonexistent, one headlight works, grid heater is broke, part of the fan shield is gone, climate controls are a joke, power steering is also a joke, odometer stopped at around 350,000 miles, speedometer is broken (all the other guages work), mirrors won't stay in position, and yet........it still runs and will pull whatever we need to pull. We use it to haul water (around 800 gallons per load) sometimes and it works great. It's real American truck alright. Falling apart but somehow still runs.
DEBOSS!!! I want to know your opinion between the zf5/zf6 vs a nv4500 vs nv5600. details on rebuilding them, strength comparison and weather a fella doing a ferd cummins swap should use a zf or a NV. and the pros and cons of each of them. I have been watching the shit outa your channel sense I have stumbled upon it. you got what it takes to be a Canadian roadkill man! and your editing and cameraman skills are bad fuckin ass!!!
My dad had a 93 250 Cummings 4x4 auto 2door with an long bed .. that thing was beautiful and bulletproof but it beat the shit out of you ...we called it the rattletrap. I traded that thing in on a Tahoe years later what a dumbass I was
Even though I know some of this video is a joke, I still seems like most of the problems you have or had with vehicles and opinions about some vehicles is rust/moisture/winter related and less the vehicle itself. That goes for Dodge, Ford, Chevy etc. Down here in the southern part of the US it would be hard to find a first gen in that bad of shape even if it hadn't been cared for at all. Just my opinion.
Yeah our problems down here are mainly dents. In Georgia, if you see a truck with this much rust, it was probably a mud truck. In which case, you run. Run as fast as you possibly can.
As someone who owns a 1st gen, I'm fairly certain your voltage regulator is rigged to shit. The Voltage regulator is in the Alternator not the Computer. The farm thing is true though, I bought my truck from a guy who started rebuilding it after finding it in a barn where it sat for 12 years. Thing gets going now but now I gotta rewire the whole front end.(1991 Dodge W150 "Power RAM")
I have 850,000 On my 1st gen and it has been the best truck I have ever had everything still works. yesterday It got a new heater core and evap core .love my truck bought it in November 89 and have people every week ask if I want to sell it.....Do I have a sign? lol no rust no dents. I have used the heck out of it and drive it everyday .I only use my new cummins truck for vacations.
My first car was a low mileage 1995 Dodge Stratus, very nice car but an unreliable pile of junk. What didn't go wrong with the car? I only had it for about 5 years before I had the junk yard tow it away. Always broke down and the interior fell apart. Last straw was when the fuel pump went out. It somehow made it to 100,425 miles before I got rid of it in 2012. That thing left a very bad taste in my mouth for anything made by Chrysler.
My '92 D250 barely has rust. The Cummins still roars too. The only rust is on the cab corners and starting in the rockers. My '92 ford with the international has same kms about 150,000 and runs the same with minimal rust as well. I think the example in this video doesn't represent a truck that is maintained even minimally.
sounds like we got a couple hatters lol the reason to come is ain't in a four-door Chevy because the frame wouldn't hold up you know what I'm saying they're made out of popsicle sticks pretty much or what they make cavalier frames out of lol
That’s actually a 89 or 90 you can tell by the steering wheel and steering wheel column, how there is no plastic trim around the back on the insid, the grill, the bumper, badging, and the hood.
Well his opinion is way different than mine. The list that I was expecting starts like this. 1) I have having to change brake pads every 25k because that heavy of truck had small front rotors and undersized calibers with rear drums. 2) The truck was slow from the factory. The joke was that it was slow empty, but you could put anything you wanted behind it and it was still slow! 3) Single battery on a diesel was crap on really cold mornings after the battery was 2-4 years old. Those are the three things that I remember from my 93 that I loved at the time.
I have an '88 D100 V6 5 speed I bought new. Other than surface rust it runs great. 190k miles. I do have a problem with the ring and pinion, you need a yard stick to measure the lash. Thats getting fixed.
The vent windows whistle, the suspension is extremely rough, the paint will peel just by looking at it, the mirrors, along with all of the interior vibrate and rattle at idlethe steering box is a little loose, but other than that, I don’t have many problems with it. If you take good care of it, and grease the front end, and U-Joints, It’ll last a long time. I didn’t buy this truck because I wanted a luxury vehicle, I wanted a workhorse.
Just took the plastic off the inside of the doors on my '91 d250 yesterday and found perfectly good doors underneath with lots of storage space. I put my water bottle, hand sanitizer, knife, makeup, mirror, gloves, and extension cord in 'em. All that crap weighs less than the plastic. I highly recommend removing the plastic. There's a pretty truck under it.
I've owned so many trucks and the '92 dodge is by a long shot the most solid frame and body. Hasn't changed for years. If you look at the auctions much you will find the equivalent years and engines in a ford or a chev go for half the price, of any year... this is fact so for any of you people trying to judge a dodge you are wasting your time. My 92 ford cost 1200$ and my 92 dodge cost 6500$ within 3 years of each other and same kms. The same examples go for trucks in the 2000's and 2010's plus... dodges will render the highest bids at the same auction, every time without fail, often by double the price. FACT.
I've had my 91-1/2 since summer of 96 and I'm looking for parts to fix it up. My dash looks like a bomb went off behind it but I was still driving it. I need to fix the AC and heater, the odometer and now the speedo I think, I have drove it since last year. I need to pull the box off and either put a flat bed on it or find a good box, likely a flat bad with some low sides as it is pretty tall and I want to pull trailers without banging up the top rails. I rolled it in 2001 and had to settle for an 85 cab and box that was in pretty bad shape back then as I couldn't find a better unit to use. It's still good enough to fix up aside from the crappy box that never was any good even when new.
After all this time I'm still unsure if Rich is serious when he says the parts are for sale. Somethings are obvious, but the badges and trim stuff genuinely have value.
The 1st gen had a lot of problems with rusting, but they started to fix up their trucks starting with the 2nd gen, by the time the 3rd gen came out you can trust that it’ll handle a tow truck bed, and the 4th gen Cummins is as well built as the ford trucks nowadays.
In 2017 I had a 1993 D250 with a 3.9 V-six. The body was virtually rust free except for the roof where the pillars met it. The air conditioning must have created condensation and caused the top to rust out. That's the way Dodges rust in Florida. BTW, it was the same color of blue. The diesel and thje 3.9 six both use the same torque flight transmission.
The steering column? Oh yeah. You got to get rid of that plastic coupler system (which starts wearing out at around 4000 miles) and replace it with a Borgeson steering column, that never wears out. The lower one, between the gear box and the rag joint is all you need.
Older video I know. I picked up a 90 d250 with the getrag. Shes pretty mint. Floor pan going in, just a section. And I gotta get ahead of the driprail. But it ain't bad. Doors close fine. Surprises everyone.
I do landscaping, pull trailers often and have been eyeing the 12v Cummins. What gen would you recommend? And a 12 or 24v Cummins in a 250 or 2500 because I don’t nessisarily need a 3500 and having a 2500 would be nostalgic to me because both my grandfather and my father owned a 2500. And those are what I grew up in.
Also, I meant to ask....how about TRANSPLANTING THE 4bt or 6bt into a FORD EXCURSION ? Or are the electronics in the cab also like THE REST OF THE "LEADING-EDGE FORD DESIGN"....and really should be avoided ? (which translated means...a Pain-In-The-Arse = P.I.T.A. )
Speaking of 1gens, before I start tearing it down again... I changed turbo+piping+IC and injector nozzles 70hp ones and its blowing LOTS of white smoke now when I step on the gas. It runs "ok" hard to say... Pump is pretty maxed out on the powerscrew. It ran great before the swap and with that massive white cloud I doubt it would be head gasket wich everyone says as soon as they hear white smoke... Any ideas on where to start?
The truck is a -93 so its the "computerized" version, could it be that simple that i missed or switched some connection on the pump? I also had the timing cover off to do the kdp fix dunno if I could have messed something up there didnt remove any gears, it is key'd to the rotor pump shaft right?
phogelbice Was the pop pressure reset properly on the injectors? The change in flow will alter the injection timing slightly as well. The computer has absolutely nothing to do with fueling on these, just the grid's, cruise, a/c and voltage regulator, trans as well if it's auto.
"If not for the Cummins we would all be driving a Ford with a Cummins" So what your saying is how history played out was bad for the consumer in this case? Because i would much rather a Cummins be in a F-250 than a pos Ram.
Hi I have a frist cummins it’s been taken care of the only rust I have is on the rear fenders nothing some Bondow can’t fix but I got the small fuel leak and I had to hit the throttle to get it to start and was getting ready to fix it but once it was warm and started right up like usual and ran great and now I have a no start at all. And I can’t find anything about a 12 valve having lots of problems if u could help me or tell me what it could possibly be it would help a lot I use this Truck daily and for work
Whatever has a good body (rust wise) and frame to support the weight (1250 lbs). This is in my opinion th-cam.com/video/I2QXib45t40/w-d-xo.html . There are lots of trucks with Cummins in them. Build something cool and unique, make it your own
Haha, well I have 1 and 1/2 till I get my lisence so for now I am just waiting for a good deal on a cummins and a rust free mint chevy with a blown 6.0liter!
hahahaha. so basically it's kinda like a case of beer... you pull out the inside goodness and throw away the junky case the beer came in!
Like a woman in her 40's the chassis my be worn but someone always will pound her into the ground a little further
Fuckin mint
Whatttt😂😂😂😂😂 ZIP TIES N BIAS PLIES is here
ZIP TIES N BIAS PLIES ur funny as hell
It was a case of blue. Somewhere over the years it became blue light. Id own one over my 2nd gen. if it had a real back seat for my kid.
"The worst thing about a Cummins is the truck that surrounds it."
I hate seeing the 1st gens in this kind of shape, wish I could just save them all haha
ParoDoXz same here. I love mine. It's in damn good condition.
If anything, buy one, keep it in good shape. You'll always be able to sell it for more than what you paid.

'91? Looks like an "89 or "90, a "91 should have the big chrome grille with "DODGE" embossed across the top.
dyer2cycle 2 things I’ve noticed over years people always get years messed up and never pay any attention to their interiors
Yeah its definitely pre-facelift
The Original 91 Grill probably broke and they replaced it with an older one
not gonna lie, we dont have vehicle inspections here, I would probably drive that down the road.
At least fix the turning signals, those are pretty necessary. Probably keep it off the highway.

Too bad Cummins didn't end up going into Ford. At that time a much better truck
If only he realized the price of first gens would absolutely skyrocket in a couple years
Those first generation Dodge Ram pickups were produced from 1981 through 1993. The grilles with that design were produced from 1986 through 1990.
2:30. External volt with computer is how my 91.5(june) is set up best of both worlds, agreed.
A cummins in a ford wouldn't be a bad truck really.
My 1984 Dodge truck had a much better seat than my 1999
ive always said i like the cummins, hate the truck wrapped around it. do hate the amount of smoke they produce. but whatever
Cummins is great . Dodge not so much I’ve learned by owning them .
not disputing the 12 v is the best engine but it is in the worst truck. but why not buy a 7.3 superduty. great engine great truck
It looks like they rolled it or something
Tree or big branch probably fell on, roll over would be much worse
Why we buy dodge: the part dodge doesn’t build.
Don't remove the rust....It's the only thing holding the truck together!

The diesel and thje 3.9 six both use the same torque flight transmission.
Mister Berzins not the same trans. Same family
The body sealer goes bad in the channel and lets water into the roof. The floor will get wet in the rain because of it, too.
Actually, the 308 engine is pretty solid too. My '92 Dodge is a wreck, but the Engine and Trans are still in great shape.
You mean the 318. For sure they are crazy reliable.
The steering column? Oh yeah.
You got to get rid of that plastic coupler system (which starts wearing out at around 4000 miles) and replace it with a Borgeson steering column, that never wears out. The lower one, between the gear box and the rag joint is all you need.
Best mod for these trucks is the Borgeson. Worth every penny.

No they don't fucking have glow plugs dumbass they have a grid heater. Fuckin idiots think they know everything
youre a fucking idiot aren't you?
do some research. there Ready to rip rc and JJ. 1st gen cummins DO NOT have glow plugs. They use grid heaters in the intake. same with newer cummins.
Hunter Janovsky Cummins don't use glow plugs they use a grit heater, which is far superior than glowplugs.
I wish I could find a dodge in that good of shape around here

Hell ya we do
Cummins don't have glow plugs. They have grid heater/intake heater
That intro hurts me 😔
Also, I meant to ask....how about TRANSPLANTING THE 4bt or 6bt into a FORD EXCURSION ? Or are the electronics in the cab also like THE REST OF THE "LEADING-EDGE FORD DESIGN"....and really should be avoided ? (which translated means...a Pain-In-The-Arse = P.I.T.A. )
You should make a video about rebuilding turbos and maintenance or something like that
I thought Cummins only had a grid heater not glow plugs, correct me if I'm wrong
i love the first gen 1981 to 1993 is the same body style
I got a 93 chevy Ck1500. 4×4 works. Minor issues. A bit rust
What if I turn the key and get nothing? Lights on dash now and then but nothing! Relay???
Looking to see if I can buy the heater control cable in the dash for the hot/cold slider switch?
What year did they start using a computer over a voltage regulator? I didn’t know they did that
Hey don't do that I need some parts
When he said glow plugs 🤪
The imaginary glow plugs are on again.
Hell yeah. Nothing beats them old dodges. Dam Dodge Ramcharger got Lonewolf Maquade out of the dirt.
A lot of things beat those old Dodges lol
Speaking of 1gens, before I start tearing it down again... I changed turbo+piping+IC and injector nozzles 70hp ones and its blowing LOTS of white smoke now when I step on the gas. It runs "ok" hard to say... Pump is pretty maxed out on the powerscrew. It ran great before the swap and with that massive white cloud I doubt it would be head gasket wich everyone says as soon as they hear white smoke... Any ideas on where to start?
phogelbice pump timing
The truck is a -93 so its the "computerized" version, could it be that simple that i missed or switched some connection on the pump? I also had the timing cover off to do the kdp fix dunno if I could have messed something up there didnt remove any gears, it is key'd to the rotor pump shaft right?
phogelbice Was the pop pressure reset properly on the injectors? The change in flow will alter the injection timing slightly as well. The computer has absolutely nothing to do with fueling on these, just the grid's, cruise, a/c and voltage regulator, trans as well if it's auto.
"If not for the Cummins we would all be driving a Ford with a Cummins"
So what your saying is how history played out was bad for the consumer in this case? Because i would much rather a Cummins be in a F-250 than a pos Ram.
Fords are the biggest POS road u dumb fuck
Said no one ever
Hi I have a frist cummins it’s been taken care of the only rust I have is on the rear fenders nothing some Bondow can’t fix but I got the small fuel leak and I had to hit the throttle to get it to start and was getting ready to fix it but once it was warm and started right up like usual and ran great and now I have a no start at all. And I can’t find anything about a 12 valve having lots of problems if u could help me or tell me what it could possibly be it would help a lot I use this Truck daily and for work
So what is the perfect truck for a cummins swap?!
Whatever has a good body (rust wise) and frame to support the weight (1250 lbs). This is in my opinion th-cam.com/video/I2QXib45t40/w-d-xo.html . There are lots of trucks with Cummins in them. Build something cool and unique, make it your own
HaHa, Well I want to make my perfect farm truck! I love the 06 Chevys so i may do what you did with your shop truck.
I find they are the easiest to work with. Keep me updated on the project!
Haha, well I have 1 and 1/2 till I get my lisence so for now I am just waiting for a good deal on a cummins and a rust free mint chevy with a blown 6.0liter!
I'll keep it "in the family" and stick one in my Dodge Shadow
