1st Gen Dodge Cummins Diesel! Sitting for 20+ years! Will it run?

Today we drag home another junkie old dodge! Does she run? Maybe.

[@dbibah]

How the hell do you only have 7.6k subscribers? Your production quality is getting better and better, keep up the good work TC!

[@davidbryant5875]

Because there so many people on KZbin doing it now. Takes a long time to get really get recognized

[@tcfinds]

I really appreciate it! I’m not sure, aside from what David here said. A lot of people are now doing this. Hoping to stick with it and out last them!

[@kellyadams3743]

Put a set of wheels on it and sell it to a kid

[@tcfinds]

20” rubber bands and 15k SOLD!

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

New Guy here (Partial Restoration) These Old Rigs are desirable. That motor with a few tweaks is Bulletproof. And a few more mods you can pull 500HP 1000 pounds ft torque!!! I remember them when I was a kid. Especially a 1991 1 Ton Duelly with solid Red super glossy paint. I fell in love and was never able to get one. Closest I got was a 98 Ram half ton 4x4 360 😮🤔😒

[@tcfinds]

Thanks for tuning in! Wait till you see what this motor is going in 👀👀

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice save, no matter what you do with it 😁👍 Glad to see it run and move under its own power. Sounds good also. Glad to see Zane help in the fun as well. Take care and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

I voted for throwing it away!

[@tcfinds]

Thanks friend!

[@DieselKevcop]

I had a 92 identical to that. Best truck i ever owned. Leaf spring front...

[@brianhuber4124]

Your son covering his eyes in the truck was priceless

[@haroldwilkerson2026]

I think that green crew cab Ford needs a Cummins in it and some Gin poles😂😂

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

That's the spirit!!!!!!

[@tcfinds]

Green for has since lost a very important piece to be saved lol

[@Bluegrassguitarman23]

I would do another filter and transmission fluid change just to be safe since the first change you saw how bad the filter was clogged

[@BleuCollarFndryMTL]

I have a 1992 Dodge Cummins 12 valve Dually. It eats driveline u-joints but everything else is great.

[@marklowrey4694]

Marty Robins T-Shirt?? Now you got to love that 😄

[@tcfinds]

Absolutely! Spent a lot of time in Elpaso myself too!

[@Bbeltran790]

This has became my favorite KZbin channel

[@tcfinds]

Thank you very much! More to come!

[@shmitt8307]

I cannot wait to get a diesel truck dude, I am so pumped cool video

[@dp2826]

Why does this remind me of the kid trying to pound a square peg in around hole. “Just keep hittin it”

[@tcfinds]

I just wanted it to magically work lol

[@josephjporcellijr4508]

Love the truck. Save it !!!! It’s a first gen I have 2 of them !!! If not sell it to me

[@tcfinds]

I think she can be saved!

[@Rasputin-p4e]

Just subscribed. You are underrated.

[@tcfinds]

Thank you, one day we will make it!

[@VaporSlav]

Proof that These trucks refuse to die no matter what you do

[@tcfinds]

They are tuff as nails!

[@danielstrachan8988]

Here in Mi that would be a rebuild worthy truck😁😁👍👍

[@jeffreypinder9398]

That Cummins is a perfect donor for that Warlock. Looked like metal flakes in the pan sediment? Why is the oil PSI indicator on and gauge so low? Temp gauge seems to be working better.

[@tcfinds]

I’ve got another donor in mind for the Warlock.

[@cusawolfgaming804]

Ohhh man another episode your show is awesome love the comedy and trucks but I would like to see some ford rangers up in here 😁

[@tcfinds]

Maybe one day!

[@averagedudethirteen3257]

Maybe address the severe shaking on acceleration, add a couple of doors, seat cover, basic engine overhaul but add a turbo. Love the look at the boxy dodge pickups.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

This truck comes stock with a turbo and a "Charge Cooler" also know as an intercooler. You can tell the ones with a charge cooler because the air intake goes to the front and not over the cover on the top.

[@auteurfiddler8706]

Ok, as for what to do with it. If you have a much better cab, you could consider that. But, unless it is from a diesel, cab the swap is not that easy. I have a 92 D350. The body is ok in terms of rust. But, if I had a 95-97 3500 body I would put the engine and trans in that. Even though it is a club cab which is the only type cab I would own for 93 and older, the suspension is too harsh on those "first gens", as some people call them. For me anyway.

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

Swept line crew cab and a stubby stepside bed with a camper shell, make a 60s model Durango hahaha

[@thorstencoates9255]

I like to see trucks like this get restored to original.

[@tcfinds]

I may do this.

[@haroldwilkerson2026]

It has a gin pole it's a keeper😂😂

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I tried having a key cut with my 92 pattern on one side and my 95 truck pattern on the other side. They cut the key correctly, but the key did not work in either truck. I have read that the pattern is read on both sides of the key, but have not been able to confirm that.

[@netrioter]

22:50 Conan?

[@tcfinds]

Perhaps lol

[@79tazman]

what the hell I have never seen trans fluid like that something must of got into that to look that way. All the fluid should of been pumped out of that trans but I guess it's much better than it was now that the trans can pump fluid through the filter

[@tcfinds]

It was trashed hard! I drove it today and it’s still working.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

trans filter stopped up

[@victorhugocedillo9475]

❤❤saludos desde nuevo laredo🎉🎉puro DODGE RAM🎉🎉❤

[@DonavonWolfeStJames]

Do another trans and filter change again.

[@tcfinds]

I probably will end up getting it rebuilt

[@buildinbanz5529]

Please tell me the name of the transmission I have the same make and model but don’t know what transmission it needs

[@TaylorCollins-x8x]

I got a trans for it in Austin if you’re interested

[@tcfinds]

Thanks. It seems to still be hanging on.

[@mikeabresch3827]

Hi TC do you have any international scouts out there I know you are big into Dodge looking for scout but maybe something with 4x4 that I can rebuild thank you sir

[@tcfinds]

I found one just last week! But it wasn’t for sale..

[@CliffordRainwater]

Well good luck with that one. I may be a $ pit.

[@tcfinds]

We will see!

[@auteurfiddler8706]

I have that same steering wheel in my 92. Unfortunately, most of them got the sticky problem. There is no replacement other than the exact same one and I have heard that every one is now sticky. Is yours sticky? Other year Dodge truck and car steering wheels won't substitute because of the unique air bag configuration.

[@tcfinds]

Try blech white tire cleaner!

[@auteurfiddler8706]

So is that floor shifter is something for a PTO? I wonder if that is making the noise. I thought it was U joints at first when the noise remained constant even when moving in neutral but dropped to nothing when stopped.

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

The floor shifter is an old winch control, it just has 2 wires coming out of it that are not hooked to anything

[@dispatch444]

You don’t need to worry about Bruce Jenner fluid in your shipping crate. Better not park a Ferd by that shipping crate. It may catch 2nd hand electrical problems.

[@A2ZREY]

What camera you rocking ?

[@A2ZREY]

And what editor you using ?

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

Just a iPhone idk what editor he uses

[@tcfinds]

I foam lol and splice.

[@stowaway475]

I say restore it make it a parts runner grocery getter truck

[@tcfinds]

I’m thinking the same thing.

[@Michael-B41]

change fluid again after running it a bit as nasty as that was i would cheaper than another trans just saying

[@Michael-B41]

as nucg crap was in it the filter might get clogged after awhile so yeah run it awhile change again with new filter for peace of mind i did in the truck ive been driving for 4 years now

[@Michael-B41]

so yeah fix it up give it a quick black paint job and boom got you a hell of a work truck

[@marydobson7264]

I'll take the truck I'm just kidding but I really do need a vehicle but I don't have any money not even a job

[@tcfinds]

Better get to work!

[@Michael-B41]

better truck than what your driving to pull it lol real trucks not rams or should i say fiats

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

Not at all the grinch is a better truck, standard and 4x4

[@quincyhogan5050]

Restore it

[@dawsonkallio3809]

hope you only paid like $500 for it lol

[@Whitetrash_Customs]

Pretty close to that

[@tcfinds]

Ehhh..add a bit lol

[@dawsonkallio3809]

@@tcfinds 😂 love the vids man!

[@tcfinds]

Thanks man

[@liamchavez3810]

U can’t use type f fluid in a dodge….. congrats you fried the trans!

[@tcfinds]

It still works
