Buying and Restoring a 1998 2nd Gen CUMMINS!!

[@Hunterrnorris]

With it sitting for 2-3 years ( unless I heard wrong ), I'm surprised it fired up that quick? That's impressive, and that's coming from a guy that has owned a few Cummins. Good find

[@keeprtuned]

It sounds great idling too. Guess the fuel was primed ready to fire

[@glennhinksmon762]

😂If that’s rough; try buying something in the northeast!

[@keeprtuned]

Ain’t that the truth! I grew up in the Midwest, so I know about the old Rust Belt

Longview!

@@BrentWhite127 what’s that?

[@pamobilebowhunter4655]

Can you help me out on the exact measurement for the rear drive shaft please? I’m swap my auto and would love to know the measurement of it please and thank you. Great content and I love that 3500💪🏼

[@keeprtuned]

Yeah, this one has a two-piece driveshaft. Do you need measurements of the front driveshaft or the rear one?

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

I have a 98 12 2 door single wheel 😊

[@keeprtuned]

Awesome man!

Nice find. How many miles on it? I've heard dashboards are difficult to come by. Nice replacement bed.

[@keeprtuned]

Thank you! When I went to go look at the truck, he told me over the phone it had 150 to 170 K miles. When I turned the truck on for the first time with the new batteries it read 274k. He said there was an error with the electronic speedometer that came on this truck in 98 after he drove it a certain amount of miles and the miles are not correct. He said to go to the dealership and they can tell how many miles it has on it, but if I gave my best guess I would say it has 274K lol. Either way, the 12 valve Cummins is renowned for its reliability.

LMC make a really nice replacement dash for a couple hundred $.

[@keeprtuned]

Got one already ordered and delivered 🤘🏽

[@jackwhite1738]

Had one good truck

[@keeprtuned]

That’s right!
