First Gen Cummins Crew Cab Walkaround

[@MoneyBadgerProductions]

I was scrolling threw Facebook when my dream diesel giveaway.... I've been dreaming of a 6 speed 12v crew cab long bed 4x4 first gen for years!!! Good luck to everyone!

[@joewilliams1893]

That’s my dream truck too

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

I had a chance to buy a 73 crew 350 old fire rig but I couldn't talk my accountant to give me the money to get it

[@sivaru95]

7:31 NV5600 do NOT have double overdrive, 5th gear is 1:1 and 6th is 0.73:1 great and beatiful looking truck!

[@gdagenais8082]

Any of the 6 speeds offered by dodge are "single overdrive". The difference between the 5 speeds (g360 or Nv4500) and the 6 speeds split 3rd gear on the 5 speeds into gear 3 and 4. gear 4 on the 5 speeds becomes gear 5 and gear 5 (5 speed) becomes gear 6. I've read that customers wanted less gap in that area when towing. I just NV4500 swapped my 1990 D250.

[@westpearson6759]

At about 12 minutes, did you pull out right in front of oncoming traffic with my truck?😆

[@hodsonmotors]

HA! No, its a left turn/right turn only. That incoming car has to turn right, and I had to turn left.

[@GlennHHiggs]

Why Chrysler didn't pair the Crew Cab with that first gen Cummins is beyond me, but like you said this truly is a unicorn. I would love to park this in my driveway and sell my 1st Gen single cab. Great looking truck, look forward to the chance at winning.

[@Ol-crusty-Cummins]

I’d recommend watching the history of first gens by w350crewcab on KZbin he covers everything from the crew cabs to the t300 which I never knew about which is actually the original name for the second gens but was dropped due to unknown reasons

[@Zewestcoaster]

7:30 The "stock" dodge NV5600 is not a double overdrive transmission. 5th gear is direct 1:1 Is there something special about that particular transmission? NV5600 Transmission 1st 5.63 : 1, 2nd 3.38 : 1, 3rd 2.04 : 1, 4th 1.39 : 1, 5th 1.00 : 1, 6th 0.73 : 1, R 5.63 : 1 Getrag G360 1st 5.53 : 1, 2nd 3.02 : 1, 3rd 1.60 : 1, 4th, 1.00 : 1, 5th 0.77 : 1, R 5.03 : 1 (the stock 5 speed in the first gen Cummins) You are correct though, the splits in the gears were too tall in the G360 transmission. The lack of power (compared to the newer diesels) compounded that frustration at times.

[@Claudio-zi5jd]

I am sorry for the previous comment I like your love of “civilian trucks” because I love them too, but I love the sound of the Cummins as much as I love the look of these machines.

[@jasonblaschka6216]

Beautiful truck. I’d love to win that. I’d get rid of my 2007 PowerWagon. Two quick things. If the wing window whistles it’s likely a bent roll pin. You might install a new roll pin and see if that fixes it. Second you should do the headlight relay upgrade if you haven’t done it. 1st gen dodges eat headlight switches for lunch.

[@hodsonmotors]

Good idea on the roll pin! Ill give that a try this week. Every truck we own, even with new or rebuilt wing windows, whistles above 45. It doesnt even phase me.

[@creativepear6751]

This is the most Beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. I have had this body style on my dream board (Manifest) for years! But, has been my dream truck since I was a little girl. Girls love good trucks too! 😍 Getting my entries in. Thank You! ♥️ P.S. it'll fit in my driveway. 😉😜

[@candisully8209]

UNBELEIVABLEY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!!!!!

[@amopowlison2959]

Dreamed for about 8 years about getting a first gen dodge ram Cummins perfurebly an extended cab 4x4 . I would love a crew cab but figured they were ether extra rare or non existent. Also like you said almost impossible to fix do to lack of parts. All in alll thow beautiful truck that i would love to have. Meanwhile I will drive my econo box as new trucks are to expensive and and a good used diesel are hard to find for an affordable price.

[@andreinastase1604]

Gorgeous color. I have one like that but white and gray Identical

[@jameshagan1382]

That’s a nice truck. Perfect first Gen

[@shdwwzrd69]

Wish I woulda found yall sooner its my full on dream truck in my dream color for it dang

[@jimmym02]

I missed the last Dodge giveaway...I will not miss this one! thanks!

[@tstair86]

Was looking for more info on the retro radio. What model is that you used and what is the modification needed to make it work with the crew cab? Thanks, great looking rig!

[@hodsonmotors]

We used part number NEW-M2-270-670. When you get the radio, you'll only use the brackets on the side, not the top and bottom. The other modification is you have to flip the rear upper knob upside down so it'll clear the gauge bezel. It's slotted so it can go on either way. That's it! No really modifications, just install notes!

[@tstair86]

@@hodsonmotors right on, good look! This is def the cleanest option for sure, gotta love the 1.5 DIN!

[@RogerWillis1]

Fantastic diesel! Great work on this one!

[@maisongrimes1915]

Been absolutely watching this truck like a hawk, this is my dream truck, if i won it, id be so relieved since my daily took a dump on me, but good luck to everyone who entered, cant wait to see who wins this friday

[@d3elwapo]

Love the channel, I hate that I just found it, I wish I could have bought some ticket’s! Great channel! Keep it up!

[@nickhooper09]

Need some birthday luck! What a beautiful truck!

[@somemedic]

Gun rack.... and then fluid film everdamnthing. Had a kit that I put on my jeep. It was a 10 speed bike shifter with cable on the lever that you attached to the throttle cable. You could clutch and brake while using the 10 speed bike shifter lever as a finger throttle. Put the lever on the stick.

[@theunluckyfrog3316]

Never have I once thought about ever participating in one of these giveaways, but I just bought a shirt because I have to at least give myself a chance. I would literally cry lmfao

[@powerwagon3731]

Fantastic truck👍. My 2004 Cummins that I bought new with 280 k on it doesn’t drip oil. .I did have to replace trans cooler lines that leaked a couple of years back when I had the transmission rebuilt and upgraded at 265k.

[@blitzwing9150]

Riley do you mind doing some more drive by's? thanks! don't have to be on yt. even just an insta story would be fine

[@fredsiegfried1707]

Nice rig, but at 62 I love my 03

[@aramjudge5]

As a chevy guy, that's the sexiest thing I've ever seen.

[@mdmwelding3189]

❤️ THAT truck 👍👍👍👍👍

[@willstice1030]

that is a Rad First Gen Awesome

[@chrisparker2177]

The reason dodge didn't have a quad cab with the Cummins engine is because Ford actually owned the license to the Cummins and since they also owned international they allowed dodge to have the Cummins license so long as dodge didn't make any 4 door trucks for the first generation.

[@benjaminberan7645]

Incorrect. This rumor was put to bay several years back. The facts are....yes you could get a Cummin in the medium duty (F650/F750) as well as an Allision transmission, but that was it. Ford purchased Cummins stocks (I think about 10.8%) back around 1990 but the stocks were bought back. Ford never owned Cummins at any point, merely invested in the company. That being said, even with this invested interest they had no pull or say so as to what light duty truck dodge (now ram) put a Cummins in. The fact of the matter is that during this era, 4 door long bed trucks were not a very popular choice among any manufacturer...I have heard of rumors that Ford and GM had something to do with the phase out of the 4 door at Dodge but I would suspect that they made to choice to help keep them a float. Why invest in something that was not popular even with Ford and GM. Also remember, these were 1st gen Cummins. They were new and had not gained the gold standard badge yet.

[@Gene4666]

holy grail for real. Amazing.

[@mentlegen8187]

11:55 soo we aint gonna talk about this?

[@hodsonmotors]

The road turns there, the car that is coming can't go straight and t bone us, they are turning right to follow the road.

[@mentlegen8187]

Ah just made my heart stop for a minute.

[@davidwhite581]

wish i wouldve known about this, i regret selling my first gen and this is basically my dream truck setup.

[@7tonactual]

Love the color.. If I win I'll sell it back to you..

[@quagmiredavis4117]

Since my current truck died this is exactly what I need looks like I'm too late

[@Wr3ckZ]

Do you guys ever have a parts breakdown of the parts you use on these builds? I have a '91Extra Cab W250, and I'd love to build it to kind of mimic this build, as far as lift (springs), and those bumpers! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@Samwise71999]

You mentioned mpg but what are the numbers? Great looking rig!

[@w0320195]

WHERE CAN ONE FIND THOSE SEATS?

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

I have a 93 dually 2wd club cab lowered a little on 22s thats my cruiser but i would kill for this truck in a dually as my daily/work truck im in construction

[@leonardcusumano3524]

How do I enter the giveaway, thank you

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

What is that color? I love it!

[@theunluckyfrog3316]

The sexiest truck I have ever seen my god

[@roberthamaker5750]

Where did you get those headlights?

[@hoontar1635]

She’s a beauty! Keep up the good work

[@10mm]

VE pumps are less efficient than P pumps. You can't get anywhere near 30mpg from either truck without a really dialed in propane injection system, especially a 4x4 on 35s.

[@Seankamrath]

The glass is from a jeep zj 98

[@taracoleman3423]

I WANT IT!!!!

[@patrickhenry8637]

Where did this truck end up?

My NEW Unicorn ,,, I tried to make the Unicorn truck ,,, but I had to sale it , I was using a 97 ram to make it and a old county truck

[@tomkelly3896]

How much to build me one???

[@Seankamrath]

Why Chrysler didn't do the cummins In The jeep zj is beyond me

[@mikebrunais]

Does anyone know who won this truck?

[@thomasfest6636]

Are you looking at doing a crossover steering conversion?

[@hodsonmotors]

We've done one in the past. The truck does great as is, but if the winner wants to do it we can.

[@moomoomlik99]

Can people from Canada enter to win?

[@oOPTICKZz]

How much would something like this be worth, if to be sold? Seems like a rare truck like mentioned in the vid.

[@tristan9680]

Probably around anywhere from 35K-50K in todays market. All depends on your location

[@Briandotmiller]

Block heater? Mileage?

[@speedshift1014]

Does it have a muffler?

[@mollyhelen27]

What is the paint color code?

[@legion1630]

so i guess you plan to not really have anything in the bed..why couldnt the tire go under the bed

[@BourbonDrinker]

Great truck, but I’ll have to pass on this one. Won’t fit in my driveway.

[@hodsonmotors]

Hey that makes sense! I've always said the giveaways have to be trucks that fit peoples lives. The long bed kinda kills it.

[@BourbonDrinker]

@@hodsonmotors Such a great truck otherwise. Keep up the great work.

[@tomkelly3896]

Probably needs injectors...i get 37 mpg

[@brycemanuel4205]

Any way I could get info on shop that built the headliner I'd love to get one made for my crewcab

[@hodsonmotors]

Any automotive upholstery shop could make one!

30 mpg my ass 😂
