How My Dodge 2nd Gen Impacted My Business: A $50,000+ Boost

My Dodge 2nd Gen has been an absolute game-changer for my business. Before I had it, I was limited in what I could haul and how much I could get done in a day, when I was only running one truck in the dumpster business. But now, I can easily haul all of my equipment and dumpsters in tandem with my newer truck, which has allowed me to take on more jobs and be more efficient.
As a result, I've been able to boost my business by $50,000 or more, which has been a huge help in growing my company and taking it to the next level. I'm grateful for my Dodge 2nd Gen and all that it's done for me and my business. I can see why the truck has a crazy following. It's an absolute tow pig!

I had a similar experience when I ordered a Mishimoto radiator for my 03 F250 with a 7.3. Wasn't as bad as yours, but was very beat up from shipping and obviously had been out of the box before. Fortunately it installed ok and didn't leak. I went with a $1000 Mishimoto because the available cheap radiators were all showing up leaking.

You should see the 1990 dinosaur Ford I am driving. Over 400000 miles and I rebuilt the transmission in my living room. Runs on recycled fryer oil. As for pallets I used to haul em off, but my truck then was a 1969 Dodge truck I rigged to run on wood gas. The bad pallets kept me going for over a decade. When I ordered my radiator they also damaged it, and broke the plastic tank. Had to send that back as well. Good info about the CDL.

[@rollingops]

400k miles!? Goals for sure. I love the idea of a multi fuel vehicle, especially for the business. I think it would draw a lot of attention locally, good marketing opportunity for sure!

[@chargermopar]

@@rollingops It seemed to get me negative attention. The cops kept bothering me but eventually I got someone from the EPA to inspect and issue me an "alternative fuel" status after some safety inspections. If you knew how many broken pallets I burned you would be amazed, and the emissions of my truck were lower than a new 1995 truck! The ashes fertilized my garden and helped me make my own soap.

Clayton, congratulations on hitting 10k subs to your channel today, well done sir, enjoy the hustle, keep grinding and making Rolling Operations great again! Thanks, Brian

[@rollingops]

Appreciate you noticing, man! I screen shot it when it happened! I was so pumped. I'll keep trying to push out content people want to see!

[@timlafleur9860]

Miss my 5.9 alot. But my 6.7 is FULL of Banks upgrades. Grid heater delete, race intake horn, boost tubes, full turbo back exhaust, tuner and more. I just wanted it to breath the best it could.

[@rollingops]

Dannnng, I bet it's a beast!

[@tlcbushhogging]

I have a small little build list on my 01. Banks intake horn,cold air intake,boost elbow 75hp injectors 4inch exhaust raptor lift pump and a edge programmer same one you have which I’m not currently using. It was giving me trouble. And I tow very regularly grossing 28-30k

[@rollingops]

Nice! I forgot to mention I also have the 4 inch as well! That's probably my favorite mod too lol

[@dougbrawley6623]

I absolutely love my 7.3 towing. I plan on doing the airdog for mine

[@rollingops]

Mine was really good, and supeeeeer clean. but I found some "car dealer ebay specials" when I dug into injectors and things. I think it was traded in and then flipped to me unfortunately

[@dougbrawley6623]

@@rollingops yeah, when i bought mine the previous owner neglected it. But iv brought it back to life after alot of money later. But all i can say it beats having a car payment and paying to fix it than paying cash for it all

100%

[@evanfieldale1015]

i recommend fleece trans cooler lines and a bigger trans cooler. put one on my 03 duramax and never worry about trans temp

[@rollingops]

Adding it to the list! My goal is literally to keep this thing as chilled as possible on all fronts!

[@youknowsanchez]

Have you considered tuning the newer truck? My 16 3500 had some weight loss and a tune and performs phenomenally. She’s definitely no slouch to pulling anything. Sick rollers BTW 😎.

[@rollingops]

I've def thought about it! But not until I decommission it from business use likely. IL DOT can be really strict on post emission vehicles. For example, if I delete the DEF on the truck and get caught by DOT on a stop for it, it can cost upwards of $10k. Absolutely nutts. Another reason why I like the 2nd gen! There's nothing to worry about there because it's pre emissions.

[@BentIronBins]

When you’re commercial you have to be careful that’s what is nice about the 2nd gens. The 4th gens are better all around but the emission systems are troublesome and can leave you down and out. Having a backup is definitely the way to go.

[@aarongoode3524]

They only question the cold air intake because I’m in the open engine bay and not in a box like yours. So it is just sucking in hot air and not cold

[@rollingops]

Oh yea, I get that. In my old four banger I routed one into a fender. Sizeable difference imo

[@CountryEquipmentRentals]

Gotta respect the work he puts into his videos though. Small channel but still puts the work in.

[@rollingops]

Glad you like them man! Hopefully one day it gets bigger.

[@AllAmericanHaulingVA]

Look into FASS fuel systems before getting into other brands!

[@rollingops]

Will do!

[@andrewkolarek4551]

Great video, are you planning to get your CDL, might be a good idea, J/S…….. Thanks

[@rollingops]

I do have a class A actually! Guess I didn't say that in the video. I just let my employee use the other truck, because it's easier and safer in my opinion.

[@ethanking4954]

​@@rollingopshow long did it take you to get your CDL?

[@grrrr6999]

You can still right all that stuff off on taxes.

[@grrrr6999]

@@rollingops ya I’m about to sell my 2018. Stupid DEF system started acting up. Want to get a 1st gen.

[@BentIronBins]

@@grrrr6999mine is a 2012 pre def definitely better then the later ones with def but not having any emission’s is the best

[@azdogs]

Is this truck 4wheel drive and do you think it is necessary to have your truck be 4x4 for the dump trailer business?

[@rollingops]

Yes and yes. At least one truck should be 4x4. But I'd recommend any be 4x4. Anytime I seem to be spinning tires or about to be stuck, it always seems to be the middle of nowhere. 4x4 has saved me several times in the mudd.

Hi Do you need some great lighting to light up the trail at night? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

[@rollingops]

Shoot, we always need more lights

[@zakmiz]

You could de rate that 14k trailer to a 12k and then no cdl required. You would lose one ton of hauling capacity but you may gain more than lose

[@rollingops]

We ride that line so frequently that it's better to just keep it as is!

[@BentIronBins]

I kick myself every day for selling my 98 12 valve , very simplistic reliable no pollution stuff. Oh well I digress 😢

[@rollingops]

They are just built tough, it is nutts!

[@shibby8086]

Gearing would be the best

[@rollingops]

Good point!

[@shibby8086]

You get better towing with out putting unwanted stress on the truck

[@shibby8086]

And another one is cutting a 4x4 block or 4x6 at a angle on one side and climbing it with the good tire on the trailer to lift the bad tire you need to change off the ground instead of using your bin

[@MountainManservices]

Old is old New is new It's either desiel or trash

[@rollingops]

100% - I'll never haul with a gas truck. Asking for a Nightmare with that combo
