ABANDONED TRUCK. PARKED FOR YEARS! WILL IT START AND DRIVE? Cummins power

[@douglasmorton6121]

I think everyone loves a restoration/rebuild video series, but you know how much it would cost. Parts are needed, so it makes sense to part it out too. But the idea of seeing that truck remaining functional for years to come is something we all appreciate. Save it!!!

[@davidsnow1481]

Man grandma’s truck sounds badass. It would be very cool to save what you could on it then salvage the rest or do a 12 valve swap on the yellow truck. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

[@jonathansantos9593]

I agree with ya right there.

[@jonathansantos9593]

@@laisuresboringadventures7052 true. I'd like to get another 12v as well.

[@jerkyturkey007]

Look into its history, it may be from somewhere in the rust belt. If it were my decision, I'd fix her up and put her to work. You know better than I do the harder you work those old Cummins the better they run. Like you said the combination of 12 valve and manual transmission is becoming super rare and go up in value and there's good reason for that... pre def and single wire, need I say more?

[@jerrybradshaw9879]

I’m impressed with the jump pack,did quite a bit of cranking.

[@mikeparker2865]

This right here is exactly why I love 12 valves.... Spent all that time sitting there and as soon as you realized it was the shutoff solenoid it fired right up.. It was a little rough and stalled a few times but listen to how smooth it's running now...

[@alexgibbs1886]

I love seeing old dodges getting put back together I’m all for it brother

[@operatorbenji9735]

I love seeing any old brand even if it’s a Chevy being put back together and restored

[@TheMoparGarage]

I wouldn’t restore it to the level of grandmas truck but a fender, some suspension parts, and a little electrical work and you’d have yourself a nice flip

[@isaacfink7001]

‘I am not about to pull a vice grip garage and lick that’ 😂😂 love it! What an awesome find!

[@SuperCrackSack]

Last year California emissions compliant, first year hydro boost brakes

[@diamond_industries]

I enjoy all the restorations. If all the parts are there and it needs some TLC it could be another flip.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Old 12 smoothed right up. Sounds good 👍

[@jordanbusone5681]

You should make videos on doing all the maintenance on it and all the little odds and ends to get it roadworthy

[@bradcarroll5265]

I’d enjoy another restoration series. That’s a really cool truck with the factory leather and standard transmission. I’d assume that wasn’t a very common combination.

[@michael217martin]

I would love to see you build it like your grandma truck. You have a good eyes when you find 12v so I have to say build it

[@chadgchaney]

Looks like the start of a good project. Glad to see you got this truck. We saw you at tractor supply yesterday afternoon .

Love to see that thing fixed up and back on the road!

[@sblsbl7600]

That was cool Sam. I laughed at the vice grip garage reference. Fixing it would provide good content for the channel. I subscribed for the truck content. I have learned a lot about my own truck from this channel.

[@livewithnick]

Personally I’d fix it up enough to make it safe for the road,do a little engine work,new tires and put winches front and rear and make an off road recovery truck out of it. Then make videos doing off-road recovery.

[@rockingkvideos3160]

On the way to 100K🙏. Another 12valve project💪🏻thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@DIRTYDIESEL98]

Those rims look like the ones that came on my 24v when I bought it but I love the new truck cant wait to se what happens

[@f5tornadeau]

Dude rockin out all the cool Rams. Me: “oh, a truck with low miles! Sweet! 3.42 gears in a dually!?! The GCVW isn’t even high enough to tow a gooseneck with a CTL with a mulcher. Is a used Ram with a G56 and 4.10 too much to ask? FML!”

[@BombsAwayMineCraft]

Right. My 2001 ram 1500 even has 410 gears

[@003fulle]

I’d love to see a restoration.

[@phillipnunnink1307]

If my memory is correct, JM bought that truck from a private party in Salt Lake City many years ago. Might explain the cab rust.

[@VBELTandSON]

That would make sense

[@markrabbia8281]

That bumper was made for that jump pack too sit there! Looks like a decent truck

[@ronaldheit196]

Definitely restore it. New tig welded in metal where needed. All new anti-corrosion brake and gas lines.

[@randyvanetta5197]

I freakin love that are saving these trucks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@delprice3007]

I've got a '95 SLT 3500 flatbed automatic with a triple disc torque converter that would be great to have you get in shape...for farm work.

I would kill to have a cool project truck like that. Lots to invest into it but saving them from being smashed.

[@georgeenriquez612]

I wouldn’t mind seeing it get fixed up for the content. I like the project videos

[@donovanmclaughlin4709]

I just bought a triple axle diamond C38 ft gooseneck and man you weren't lying those trailers are amazing one of the best pulling trailers I've ever had I have a 44 ft PJ gooseneck as well doesn't even compare and it's a very nice trailer love the videos man keep up the great work

[@Godslaws8463]

Advanced flow engineering, you know that Means power. Classic.

[@danielcarney6193]

My suggestion is to find a gen-1 crew cab and body swap it and make it a crew cab shortbed dually.. At least that is what I would do if I had the time and less projects of my own.

[@mikestrucks]

Nice buy buddy ! I would probably fix her up again....

[@normanbanks8902]

Restore it. Love seeing them on the road!!

[@reaganyoder2279]

We had an obs 7.3 liter that had been sitting outside for 18 years. Finally, we pulled it inside and after about 30 seconds of cranking she fired right up!

[@abishaicaldera2978]

It’s a 12 valve Cummins of course it will start doesn’t take genius either to get her runnning

[@VBELTandSON]

Go have some fun eh?

[@Asphaltaperider]

"It's a 12v, that thing will run on used motor oil.". 😂😂. FIX IT!!!!!

[@anthonycash4609]

I seen your video on your 550 registration for next year and that sucks. And I saw on Google that generators , 2 stroke small engines , and gas powered lawn mowers were also going to be outlawed in California as well. Is there any truth to that. Man I sure hope it's not so for every working man's sake .

[@phillipporco3456]

All SORE (small off road engines ) illegal for sale in California as of January 2024 . Thanks California ! We will just use battery powered stuff that slave labor is used to pull minerals out of the earth like lithium and cobalt used to make batteries . Look up the cost of green energy it’s a hoax.

[@markbremmer8642]

The government doesn't realize, that you still need Diesel powered equipment to mine the ingredients for electric powered equipment.

[@turbodiesel4709]

@@markbremmer8642 : They realize just fine. They simply don't care. California has been a cesspool of air quality problems for a long, long time. California's underlying problems run much deeper than simple motor vehicle pollution. They have far too many people crammed into a small space with inadequate ventilation. Plain & simple. Beyond all that, follow the money. There's big money to be made in following the trend of "going green" these days. If there weren't, it wouldn't be happening. Humanity seems to thrive on self-inflicted (created) chaos.

[@chadholmes5876]

Nothin sounds as good as a 12v especially with the stock hx35 that slight sing at idle with a full straight pipe pure music. I sold my wonderful 97 12v after 14 years (always garaged and no winters) with over 500,000 miles only because I was embarrassed at the boat ramp after having to be pulled out a few to many times. I needed a 4x4 for i been through several different trucks since I sold it, the 12v still calls to me. Here in Michigan they are ALL rotted out now. I need another with 4x4

[@grady_buckendorf3864]

I would love something like this for my first truck especially a 12V
