First Gen Cummins Towing | Pure 12 Valve Audio | No music | Towing 10,000lbs

[@charlied2449]

People forget that it didn’t take 500hp to do the same work trucks do today, 30 years ago. Nothing beats hearing them injectors rattle and that turbo spoolin. Awesome truck.

[@straightpipediesel]

The difference is when this truck was built, there was a 55 MPH nationwide speed limit (some exceptions to 65). Today, you got 70-75 in cities. Same thing in Europe today, the EU requires anybody towing to have a 90 kph/55 MPH limit (80 kph/49 MPH in some countries) which is why they tow RVs with a midsize sedan.

[@stizzoforizzo898]

Nothing like the sound of 79 horsepower hauling 10000 pounds. Love your truck

[@EngineersGarage1]

Hey now, it might be 85 horsepower!

[@ChevyDLBZ]

@@EngineersGarage1 Haha!

[@NXT_LVL]

@@EngineersGarage1 maybe 100 lol but we know Torque is it. Parents had a 92 D250 supercab LE longbed 5spd. All black, full chrome front. The truck outlasted my parents knees being a stick. 300k+ miles still could bark the 2-3 shift like a champ.

[@ukrainian333]

but... it is real hauling, when your skills matters more than power and torque... real oldschool =)

[@sabbath7081]

​@@NXT_LVL I had a 92 12 valve with a 5-speed and it was 160 horsepower at 300 ft lb of torque stock.

[@greggreen6636]

No other diesel has the sound of an old 12 valve Cummins

[@adambeals1293]

especially with a good old 5 speed

[@julians.8685]

If you p pump swap a 24 valve (not common rail) it sounds the same

5.9L 24V is my favorite Cummins Engine. This 12V is solid stout engine.

My jaw dropped when the garage door opened. Beautiful

I thought you said there was no music? I heard a beautiful symphony of 12 valves and a turbine wheel... lol That's a really clean 1st gen man, rock on!

[@EngineersGarage1]

Thank you sir!

[@Cradley51]

Man. This is actually the best video on here. Not only is the sound of the 12 valve just simply perfect, but you drive super well. If half of new York could drive like you that would make that place safe for all us truck drivers. 😂 Thanks again for the video!

[@campbell0162]

Thats one of the cleanest first gens I've seen on youtube, and I love how you kept what looks to be the original rims on. And don't get me started on the amazing sound of the old 12v. Thank you for the video!

[@EngineersGarage1]

Thank you!! Unfortunately the truck didn't come with the original wheels, I swapped on these wheels that are really 1.25 inch wider than factory wheels. But keeping the stock look was the goal!

[@campbell0162]

I have a few more planned for the truck. A nice in depth overview, and a brake job/ wheel bearings.

[@aaronrogers3381]

My dad had a 93 white extended cab 12v Cummins with the getrag 5 speed. He paid $6500 for it. I pretty much learned to drive in that truck. That was his 1st Cummins and he's on his forth now. It made me a diesel guy. I love the sound, the feel, the torque, everything. I've got a 95 powerstroke. It was my first diesel and I still have it and drive it. I've always wanted a Cummins but could never afford one. So I listen to videos like this and enjoy other people's. Someday I'll have one. Thanks for posting this. It took me back to rowing gears and pulling a gooseneck around in my dads truck. Great video and I enjoyed it immensely!

I'm an old semi mechanic for about 30 years I could tell you the sound of every semi engine out there. I finally got my first coming 5 years ago, through sheer luck. And I mean sure luck LOL. It is a 24-valve, but they both truly sound like the semi going down the road thanks for the video, put a big smile on my face

[@nameistrever]

i want more people, esecially classic peterbilts and kenworth truckers, to do videos of this. truck warm up, trailer and chain hookup and hit the road with outside audio

[@thesmallenginekid]

Amazing how much trucks have advanced. Only 10k lbs and pushing what you would want to regularly haul with that truck. My dads 2015 F150 with the 3.5L engine handles 10k no problem. Accelerated strong up hills, engine brake hold it down hills, brakes strong, handles overall smooth. Almost as if pickup classes have shifted up, 1/2 tons today can do easily what 3/4 ton 25 years ago could barley do. But personally, I would rather be seen driving a 1st gen cummins than a lousy f150 ecobost lol.

[@EngineersGarage1]

Yeah this load is about the limit. The truck can get more weight moving for sure but it only weights 4600 lbs so it gets pushed around a bit. I agree there has been a shift in truck classes. Having many 1500s of every brand in my family it's definitely true they could move this load better, just not as nearly as fun!

[@thesmallenginekid]

@@EngineersGarage1 Definitely right. That 12valve could get more weight moving, slowly but it would move. Great rig for around town or under 1hr. Sill a super clean truck, Im jealous lol.

I currently have a 2012 4th gen but due to poor fuel mileage (I don't know why it's getting bad mileage, I've done everything I can) I just want to go old school and get something with less technology involved just so I can get the real diesel experience Edit: does this truck have an exhaust brake? I know they didn't have them from the factory but I was wondering if you put one aftermarket or tried to stay mostly original.

[@EngineersGarage1]

Can't go wrong with either a 1st or 2nd gen. The newer emissions systems and weight of new trucks kills the fuel efficiency. I don't have an exhaust brake. It's something that's on my long term list of mods, I still have to do 60lb valve springs for the brake.
