[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@joemsibert]

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

[@maryshasteen9897]

To anybody who thought you didn't fix the cupholder you just proved it

[@ChrisKim1562]

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

[@AngryCatMan1982]

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]

@@AngryCatMan1982 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.

[@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.

[@AngryCatMan1982]

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!

[@madsmodzcrew2492]

Looks like a fun project keep up the good work randy

[@bernardhamilton2205]

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

[@timgruper1381]

Those added fees are really starting to suck big time!!!!!

[@blockcl]

$505.00 fees on a $1000.00 truck? That's downright predatory.

[@TwentytenS4B8]

Whenever there is a demand for something, the price finds a way to go up. A lot of people have found out about these auctions and due to this, the days of finding cheap and serviceable vehicles are over. Since these auctions are no longer best kept secrets, you're literally just using a different flavor of Ebay Motors.

[@billt2520]

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

[@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!

[@terryl6706]

It’s always a win when you can drive it home from the auction.

[@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.

[@austincurreir7760]

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

[@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...

[@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

[@johngraber1898]

I've got a1995 5.2 1500 with 238,000 miles! I love it! Mine has dual exhaust! I inherited it from my dad! He owned it since 1997!

[@stevenwisneiski8413]

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

[@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.

[@steveosgood9182]

Living the life and youtube funds it. Gotta love it. Man, if I started a youtube channel people would stay away in droves

[@workitoutjj563]

Great find!!! I love these types of projects, perfect amount of work to make new again.

[@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.

[@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

[@MapOfEurasia]

Yesss! Keep it as backup truck!

[@richroggio]

Randy that looks like a great truck. I think you got a great deal on it. I can't wait to see it painted. It will look like new!

[@jballard3253]

GR8T Deal @ $1505 - that year/model was always my fav. Can't wait to see how this one turns out - definitely a KEEPER

[@samsthomas]

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

[@randyallen7421]

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

[@PhaQ2]

When the heater core explodes and pukes coolant all over the feet of your passenger, the 8 hours of labor to replace it will cost more than the value of it.

[@w829l5]

8 hours? What mechanic did you go to? I just replaced the heater core on my 2000 durango, took maybe 4 hours. It did take me a little longer because I replaced all of the actuators as well as the evaporator core but still.

[@PhaQ2]

@@w829l5 That's what is listed in the billing book. Yeah you can do it faster and so can any good mechanic. But that's not how most shops operate.

[@w829l5]

@@PhaQ2 yeah, I know some shops will kinda split away from a project for a quicker one especially when parts are being ordered but my point just stands that it shouldn't be more then a 4hr job.

[@PhaQ2]

@@w829l5 I can appreciate what you're saying. When the core exploded in my 99 Durango, I was quoted 8 hours labor from two shops. I bought the core and did the work myself. It took half the time quoted, and I struggled with the box mount that attached the trans dipstick. Didn't know about it and raged, breaking the plastic. But completed the job in an afternoon.

[@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

[@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.

[@randywolbert5443]

1500 is a steal even if it needs some love, another great score Randy, keep these great videos coming!!!!!!

[@lennylovedy683]

awesome truck I got the same one except mines four-wheel drive

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 .

[@backyardgarage8285]

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

[@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 😬

[@ouvss]

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!!

[@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

[@alfredbeacher7766]

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.

[@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.

[@kylewhite8286]

Detail the engine bay please. It looks so good after you clean it.

[@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.

[@lawrencetaylor5481]

Cool truck. Santa's Workshop is at 12.1k subs. Glad you introduced us to him. Just watched his last video on the Caballero. Can't wait to see that finished.

[@robertzajkowski9570]

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

[@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.

[@hanzelenfranzel8647]

This is going to be one sweet ride once you done with it! can't wait to see how it turns out ! Those wheels are COOL !!! -- just get new caps for them....
