I got a 5 speed manual 1998 that was handed down from my best friend and my firewood partner.. he took his life on the 16th of September, his father in law gifted it to me.. it was not supposed to be like this Dillon.. I love you so much
I want one so bad as my first car. Would you recommend it I would carry a lot of stuff in the bed and is it reliable? I think they look very good I would probaly be 5’ 11” would you think it would fit me?
Model year 1998 was the refresh, Therefor, the second half of 97 were all produced as 98 model years. This is how all cars work, the model year does not start on January 1st with the calendar year
@@BigCountry45 got it lol pretty good for the money since I just use it on the weekend to move wood around and it did not cost me as much for a Cummins although that would be nice
You were close On the Movie twister its a 3/4 ton Ram 2500 not a 1500 i believe it was equipped with the 5.9 magnum but the cummins turbo would have been nicer
I have one for sale in Bloomington, IN. Look on Marketplace FB. $3K needs a front axel. Frame is OK. Axle mounts are pot metal. 99’, Ram 3500 Dually, V10 (gas), 4x4, newly rebuilt Automatic Trans, ex cab with mini door, 8 foot bed, bed mat, guard rails, stepped camper lid with molded to truck countouring. (Hard to find) back window needs rebuilt to lock. Usable as is. This truck is a real good buy.
Sound deadening material is a godsend and can be applied easily. And fuel economy modifications do in fact exist for these. Just get rid of the God awful 47re transmission in the dadgum thing first. I myself plan to do an allison 1000 swap via CA conversions.
Throw away the factory hitch and get a Draw Tite. Inspect frame for rust at that time. Weak link is the front axel. $350-$1000 to replace. Doable but it’s work I’m not up for. Make sure if you change the front axel that you get the right gear ratio.
You must not be a diesel guy. Just so you know, you have to let the glow plugs warm up in any diesel. You can't just flip the key forward and start it right away.
If it hasn't already been fixed. The handle has two rods for the top and bottom latch. If you remove the handle and pull down (on the one for the top latch) and up (for the bottom latch
The look of these trucks are timeless in my opinion.
agreed
What do mean by timeless ?
@@FreeStyleProduction8 that the appearance doesn't go out of style.
The 2nd gen dodge rams also came with a 6 speed manual transmission. The best transmission dodge has ever come out with in my opinion.
What transmission is it ?

I love these trucks. They are timeless workhorses. I have a 1975 power wagon that I drive now, but this type of truck will be my next purchase.
Walker Texas Ranger had a 2nd gen Ram too!
Thx great video. I have a 99 dually 360k miles and love it. Will drive it anywhere no worries.

I’ll give ur comment a like
@@coalovd7761 yes
Sick! Crazy that the diesels have 1000 lb/ft now! With 3 times the towing capactiy. So like these older dodges though.
Yes, its insane to look at performance numbers on modern trucks. These seem measly in comparison but there's still something really cool about these.
Nice truck. Much better than all the garbage made by anybody today.
Great review.
They did the interior refresh in 1998. But you'll see some non quad cab 98's with the newer style interior that say they were manufactured in 97

Thanks you where very knowledgeable on this truck and help me a lot 😊
The twister ram was a 1995 ram 2500 V10 club cab 4x4 with the 8ft long bed
Probably because it's quieter you think?
Yeah, the new trucks look like crap! They be really smart to go back to what a ram should look like. I like LOVE plain, boxy, and No BS!
That dodge in twister was a 2500 v10 not a 1500
$12,999 wow! Wish I could buy that truck today for that price.
Great video. Thx.
I with I could find a cummins. Found a really good deal on a v10 though, any thoughts?
Drinks fuel like crazy

@@eggr17ify if it’s not a daily driver with these prices it’s 100% a great work truck
The Paxton Mobile was a 2500 with the v10
It had a v8 not a v10......!
Love these trucks ❤!

Exactly what I was about to say
I've never seen a 2nd gen Dodge ram trucks that has the flip up tow mirrors I'm wondering why the movement of the glass is not powered
They're aftermarket. You can get them with power adjustment and heated.
Mine gets 18/20mpg and it’s 4x4 6 speed manual 😎
How much ? Do you still sale it? Let me know pleace!
Check the description he leaves a link of where he got it maybe you can see if they are selling it

I think I may have a buyer but no money down, so it’s up for grabs. July 13th. 2021

I must have missed the tow capacity?

I love the 94 with 12 valve to me 12 valves sounds better
What about the 2500? There’s no review here...
That towing capacity is incorrect I’m pretty sure
1994-2002 for the 2500 and 3500, not 1994-2001. Some of your other specs are not correct either.
It was a 5.9 l 6 cylinder not an 8 cylinder

Homie its a grid heater, aint gotta use it in warmer weather.
He probably knows and did that 1st before reviewing it. #postproduction #moviemagic
It’s a Cummins there are none
Never knew glow plugs existed in these Cummins, may be next to the spark plugs 🤷😂
Sold?
Yes
Was great until he opened the door and there was no stick.
My stepdad bought one today and the back doors won’t open

Needs new cable. They break every 25 K miles. Easy fix (30 minutes) costs about $30 or $40 for the part.
find a mercedes 6x6
I'd love to find one. You got any leads for me?
@@DrivenCompanion YOUR BROS got links
That's not a Toyota.
I have a Toyota but I like them all!
@@DrivenCompanion I guess I've just been watching your Toyota videos and thought that's what your channel was about.
