[@fasteddy917]

Another drive home in a bargain vehicle that is in sketchy condition hoping you get to a gas station and the parts store. AAR at it's finest. I think that truck is a great buy no matter where you live and a real bargain in a lot of places.

[@TaffPlays]

Makes great content, besides thats what you expect when you buy a vehicle from a *SALVAGE AUCTION*

[@TwentytenS4B8]

I like these year Rams. It was a good buy at what he got it for. He could easily flip it for 5,000 with the stalling and brake issues sorted.

[@79tazman]

Yeah he's lucky that back brake did not burst into flames because with the heat and that brake fluid being highly flammable it could of been real bad I know people who had that happen to them the brake fluid got on the hot brakes burst into flames and by the time the fire trucks come the cars were gone up in flames but I'm sure he will learn one day but he's real lucky it did not happen with that truck.

[@moparboyz920]

I'm a mechanic I love these trucks let me know if you need any advice or help I just completely restored my 01 ram(almost completely restored)

[@lancehigdon8683]

It's your alternator

[@nogarage]

I don't know what it is about watching people drive old abandoned vehicles home from their grave but it is my favorite genre. Great video Randy!

[@trail70rider]

Randy you did well on this one for 1500. Short bed single cab Rams are tough to find and are going for decent money now at least on the west coast.

[@subarulegacy4203]

Dam ill have to start sending them there i find them all the time where u located do they go for good prices

[@trail70rider]

@@subarulegacy4203 On the west coast. Clean 2wd single cab short beds with V8s? These trucks didn't sell well when new, but they make great show trucks now which is why they are sought after by truck enthusiasts.

[@edgarcln2617]

Yes that’s like a 5k truck here in California.

[@kennethkoontz5036]

Well I've got a 99 sport, 318 5 speed maybe I should sell it then

[@juanduran2813]

@@kennethkoontz5036 That truck would sell for a pretty penny

[@m0dern402]

Never been more excited for an KZbin video. I grew up with a 97 360 with the same exact specs exact mine has the tow package. My grandpa sold it me for $1500 and has only 100k miles. I drive it all the time and pulls like a beast.

[@chrisparenti2461]

She’s a keeper! Use that one as a backup to your other truck. It’s always good to have a backup plan. Nice score Randy

[@markhoffman5719]

Reminds me of the old days. Where you would buy something and cross your fingers toes and eyes. Get it home on a wing and a prayer. Classic Randy.

[@BoringIntrovert1982]

Congratulations Randy on that sweet 2nd gen score! TPS sensor for sure. My '97 did the exact same thing. Of course, I would go with factree dashboard and wheels. I can't wait to see the progress on her!

[@geraldcoe1123]

Randy, this is absolutely a win! A little tlc, paint and a tow package and you are all set! Glad you are going to keep him RED. Peace!

[@brianlittle5905]

I recently bought a 99 ram 1500 extended cab for 1000 from a auction too. 168,000 miles, had to replace the sensors on the throttle body and the ABS/speed sensor. rust free but need some tender loving care on the paint. did replace dash cover and instrument cluster bezel.

Randy, Please, Please Please keep this one. You will not regret it! She will work for you. Just gotta show some love to her.

[@ceoofshrek9735]

Those 2nd gen are really nice, got one for $600 around June, all I needed was to replace the crankshaft sensor and it was running like new besides shifting issues.

[@WillemHuber]

I hope you keep this rig forever. 2nd gens in red are my favorite... thanks to Twister. I've always wanted one of these 2nd gen 1500s in red. Whether it's a single cab or extended, it'll still be a Twister Ram to me :)

[@silasmcgee3647]

I saw one once passing me in the parking lot of a local Value Village and it was beautiful it was probably a 2500 but close enough big and long and it had the V10 Magnum

[@conorwoofter748]

On those second gens it’s very common to have your idle air control valve or you throttle position sensor to go bad. Both inexpensive and easy to fix.

[@jamesclark5461]

Just when everyone told us you can't find a deal anymore. You get the (non-rust) red Dodge Ram for $1505, that would be a major score where I live in East Ohio. Looking forward to the rebuild. Way to go!!!

[@PeterBellefleur]

They make proper replacement dashes for these, it's a bit of a job and more expensive than a cover but this truck deserves to be properly fixed, especially after she gets a coat of fresh paint.

[@hgbarnes1584]

Dang that's awesome. Can't wait to see you clean it all up and get to doing your magic. I turned off the add blocker to help you a little. Thanks Randy.

[@marvnation924]

Love this red Dodge. I got a 95 5.9 with 277,000 miles on the odometer, still runs smooth and amazing almost like it only left the factory last week, heck it runs even better than my 03 hemi, albeit it has some steering slop. They're great trucks and they pull pretty well. Take care of it and it'll take care of you and never let you down... save for getting like 13 mpg lol...

[@jamiemullen8772]

Randy,if you'll run them tires at 12 to 15 lbs air pressure for a few miles,you might work the flat spots out. Worst case you'll have less bobble driving it.

[@bernardhamilton2205]

She's a keeper Randy especially as a backup truck👍

[@tommcintosh7241]

Over half the price in copart fees! I know you can't say anything without pissing copart off at you, but it's ridiculous!

[@Austint-101]

Replace your Idle Air control valve it's located on the back of the throttle body, super easy, had the same problem I replaced the valve and it runs perfectly now

[@joemsibert]

Oldie but goody that just needs some TLC. GREAT FIND RANDY

[@ronaldspencer547]

I have the same truck. Bought it new. Got over 200,000 miles on it. Wonderful truck.

[@Countdown-ct7iv]

When you live in the US and you get a truck like that for $1500, tell yourself you're fortunate. You won't believe the crap we in the Caribbean get for way more money if you do the conversion rate! That is amazing.

[@bigjay6743]

I had the same truck it lasted me a long time with very little problems. I sold last year still running strong. The short box always rides a little rough short wheel base...

[@CAK1562]

You can get those plastic replacement dash covers on eBay. They fit real good.

[@BoringIntrovert1982]

Stay far away from those cheap glue on covers. They will bust all of the mounting tabs that support the bezel, radio, and headlight switch. I learned that the hard way when I had to replace the heater core on my '97. I had to fiberglass repair all of the damage that cover caused. Just bite the bullet and buy the Mopar replacement for $300 and it's done right.

[@billymasoner3735]

@@BoringIntrovert1982 I guess it depends on which one you go with. I bought the Coverlay brand one for my Cavalier that had this issue and it looked and performed great. No warping, didn’t interfere with my buttons or knobs, or airbag. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

This is the kind of content I love on this channel. Can't wait to watch you turn this into a hard-working runner.

[@madsmodzcrew2492]

Looks like a fun project keep up the good work randy

[@deancarter990]

Randy, what a great find. I think that truck will be a great second work truck for you. If you go on Wish site you can get a hitch for cheap and maybe a seven way, that is where I got mine for my truck and it works just fine.

[@billt2520]

I think you got a good deal, parts for those are everywhere.

[@keithmason9342]

Those older Rams are good looking trucks. This one is well equipped. Should be an easy fix and a very nice back up truck. Slap on a Macco paint job and she'll be a looker for sure. Keep 'em runnin Randy.

[@rolynbarksdale7954]

Can't wait for the next video on that truck and yes you got a real good deal don't worry about other people saying to me there just jealous that they didn't get the good deal. I will love to see fix it up

Love those old dodges. Had a 94 dodge 2wd longbed. My dad had a 94 4x4 short bed a 98 dodge 1500 and a 98 2500 v10. Good trucks

Great shop truck!! I'd keep it at AAR Headquarters for parts runs, pizza pickups, etc... Can't wait to see this baby fixed up!!!!!

Randy, I think you did really good. The body and interior are in great shape, just paint it and it will look really good. I look forward to the next video.

[@randyallen7421]

Great to see some more truck videos.I enjoy them,by the looks of the comments everyone else does as well!

[@extreme1143]

good find. you can get a dash cap that will cover up the holes in the dash. check the intake for oil inside the air runner. they tend to blow out the gasket in the bottom of the intake. a little TLC and it will be a great sport truck. i would keep the current wheels on it if you plan to sell the truck. just clean them up.

[@aculdra41554]

I had the 4x4 quad cab version. I really loved it. Had nearly 250k miles when I sold it, and it was still running.

[@robertzajkowski9570]

My 2000 is a 5.2 stick 230k miles still runs great

[@BLahBLahBLahBLah584]

These are my favourite videos you make, when you bravely attempt to drive a car home that you have won from auction, I like the danger involved 😬

Like my pappy always said "Dodge a Dodge, because the maker spelled it wrong, should of been Dog"

[@Hotrod1965]

Single cab, short bed, V8 for $1500 that runs? I think you scored. I think that combination on the RAM is going to start going up like GMs did. Probably not as crazy but I bet they'll get popular and more valuable. Fix it up nice but don't go crazy, and then hang on to it a while.

[@jackcovert4531]

Great video Randy! That truck will look sharp when you are done!

[@commonsence1129]

Loved the video man. I am looking forward to seeing how this truck turns out and definitely keep it red and replace those nasty rims.

Love that truck!! You dont see to many of them with the 5.9 around anymore!! Id rehab her and give it to my son when all said and done.

[@scottbrady5127]

Good score! Look for a receiver hitch at pull a part. I want you to fix this one up and drive it for a while. I would gladly watch a series of videos on this one and I am sure I am not alone on that.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

Pretty nice find.... Some minor maintenance and you have a great truck... Back in 99 that was basically a top of the line Ram or Dakota for that matter... PW,Tilt,Cruise,A/C and Infinity Stereo only a couple other options left Leather and Rear Slider and Hitch

My father had a black one with a chrome grille. Beautiful truck. This one will clean up nicely, I’m sure of it!

Randy. I have a 98 quad cab Dodge. I was with my uncle in 99 when he bought in Florida. I now own it. 131K. 5.2L.

Main thing is truck has no rust body looks good interior is nice well worth fixing up and possible back up truck.will look good when you do your makeover good luck Randy

[@brianmorrison7016]

It’s a nice Ram, keep it as a spare Randy, they are good trucks, I used to have a 2001 Ram Sport 4x4 with ext cab, same red colour as yours, makes me miss mine watching this video, thanks

[@brewerbentley6014]

$1500 in bid plus fees, full tank of $2.91 no ethanol, plus a battery and brake fluid on a running and driving cold air 1999 Dodge SWB 1500.. I’d say that is a great deal Randy! Good work sir, especially feathering two feet and filming! - with a wheel cylinder fix and maybe a windshield- that’s at least a $5000 truck without a paint job & it’ll be low maintenance once the initial things get fixed! Great find, put her back on the road where it belongs.

[@jamesjohnson6924]

Randy, I think you got a great pickup there! I would have been glad to pay just $1505 out the door for it, and with a little minor work and a repaint, you cant go wrong.

[@austincurreir7760]

The abs light and brake light are on due to the wheel cylinder. They’ll go off once your brakes are fixed

Hi Randy the truck looks good I put a magma flow dual on my 05 hemi and it sounded awesome with a k cold air intake . I also had the factory 20” polished aluminum wheels on mine and BFG tires . Looking forward to the next video .

[@tmoz1228]

Randy i think you gotta good deal! I love that red! Looks good and that engine is a beast!

[@Tempsho]

I love the 99-02 ram sports. I have a 99 with the 5.2 and 5 speed manual. Realistically, that truck will end up needing one of everything lol. Good luck with this project!

[@russelladams6432]

I am a Chevy guy but always kind of liked the look of this gen Dodge Sport. With the short bed, monochrome paint and some slightly wider than stock tires they look real good. Of course this one is red. Randy likes that LOL, but I'm just not a fan of red vehicles. Should clean up nice and with some brake parts, barking exhaust and a paint job she'll be sharp. Look forward to seeing this one come around. Take care Randy.

[@charlierosenbusch3007]

Randy you got a hidden gem on your hands and don't let anyone tell you different. That truck the way it sits is a 3k truck all day long. To find a rust free module fully optioned out plus having the 5.9 which by the way was an option on those trucks they usually came with the 6 cylinder engine or the 5.7 318. I know you're already aware of all this considering I've seen your instagram. But definitely don't tow with that bumper it me be ok at first but you will bend it after a couple of toes. All in all definitely glad you are saving this one. This is the design that saved the ram from extinction and I know you will do her right. Thanks again for all that you do. Stay safe and keep on trucking. Lol yes pun intended.

[@mikebayliss2003]

I would totally fix that up for back up tow rig. Getting close to 300k subs next 500k. Great channel!!

[@MXguy95]

Man, that’s my kinda pickup right there. I do love my dodges!

[@nathanlykouretzos4308]

This truck is awesome, thumbnail caught my eye I got a red 2001 dodge ram 1500 sport lmao, only difference is mine has the off-road package, but the 2nd gens are really cool trucks, glad to know you're keeping it red, my old man always said red is for success 😂

[@amanpreetrandhawa3621]

randy i think it will be best truck to use in spare and i think u have to repair it as per your requirements. it will be a good investment for you. good choice👍🏻😎

[@Casey.seeK.]

I love it! Should come together fairly quickly. Check if the engine is okay then some brakes and tires.

[@enjoythesho1992]

Ran pretty well for a truck that's been sitting for 6+ years with 6 year old gas in it! .....with it being that low on coolant it has to have a leak somewhere usually the ones I buy that's out or extremely low on coolant always has a leak or ends up having bad gaskets/ burns coolant

[@donaldlawjr367]

Excellent video. For safety reasons I recommend getting a frame mounted class III/IV hitch for it if you plan on pulling your car hauling trailer. Otherwise the bumper will fold and destroy that decent looking truck.

[@cjmarsh504]

Clean that RAM truck up, fix the problems in it, and replace those horrible wheels with stock wheels, and you got you a great truck Randy!

[@jbshuggy]

Nice snag Randy! People want Trucks, no matter what condition. I've been looking for one myself for a while, and everything right now is just so dang expensive for a used truck. Great video Randy!

[@OleNordy]

Pretty sure your Crank position sensors going out. Happened twice on my 98 ram sport

[@Mariachiguy]

I'd pay that price all day for that truck...It really does seem to be in pretty good condition...A huge win and you'll make a nice profit no doubt.

[@-ouv]

Man, I miss doing this just about 6 or 7 years ago. For many years. Especially old 80s and 90s gm trucks, and my old dodges. Especially 2nd gens.i can't wait to get some money in order again, so I can do this sort of thing again, so nostalgic!!

[@michaelhuey4187]

Suh-Weet score Randy! Since you’re always telling us how high trucks are going for in your area, this looks like a GREAT prospect to AAR it and flip it for a profit👍 (you know you are going to move it along) 😊

[@ragdolltrucking]

A note about that stopleak you found on the radiator, you can tell by the rusty coolant and the the layer of rusty dirt all over the engine bay that she has overheated and blown coolant everywhere, something i like to look for when i but vehicles
