1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Conversion Van Start Up, Review, and Drive by

Hey Dodge fans! Here we have a 1997 Ram 2500 Conversion Van.

[@srm8866]

1:00 = Window Louvers ... popular add-on back in the early 80's for trucks and vans.

[@towertooth456]

Grew up riding in a '95 Dodge van very similar to this only purple. We had it for 12 years until the floors rusted out and we had to scrap it, but the motor never died! Looking to get my own now and hope to come across a nice find like this! Thanks for the video.

[@zakarylakota]

My family had a 98 elk conversion it was an awesome van so many memories! We got rid of it for $500 dollars after the catalytic converter got clogged and would stall it out. The guy that bought the van fixed it and still drives it to this day and says it's the best 500 dollars he's ever spent because it never left him stranded.

Got a 1995/1996 Dodge Ram Van 2500 (Imperial), has only 54,000+ miles. In pristine condition. Smooth in everything... Not sure why Dodge stop making these Conversion vans. I prefer old school vans than the sprinter ones.

[@lewiscordell80]

Nice and clean van. 1994-1997 Dodge Ram Van Grille. 1971-1997 Dodge Ram Van Generation. Well 1998-2003 Dodge Ram Van drives faster than 1997 or older models.

[@aidenthecomputernerd]

[@Therevdon]

I had an 02, and loved it. Only problem is the cheap steel Chrysler uses. These tend to rot out from underneath until the entire front subframe just falls out from under it. I got rid of mine well before that happened, but still see it around once in a while. Not sure about the subframe, but the body sure is starting to get rough.

[@markrankin2491]

i have a 1995 van looks like new frame in front rotted away

[@alanwindeknecht5606]

Im looking at a 1997 today . There probably going to sell it to me for 2 ,300 But they have spent 5000 around on repairs new transmission battery tires windshield and more 3 owners . But has over 200 thousand. But that year probably not to bad of a deal .

[@michaelkurz9067]

[@dave11686]

[@seanbierman1212]

[@TerriLynch]

Mine is a 1995😊 yours is very nice👍

[@chanceiw5]

My grandparents have a van just like this but green

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Cool!

[@randomyoutubevideos3503]

3:35 Don’t have the thing above the passenger airbag because if the airbag goes off the thing that was above the passenger side airbag will come hurling at you.

[@markrankin2491]

that year did not have passenger airbag that upper panel is the glove box

[@mallorymcguire833]

Do you know when Dodge started making that unibody frame that rusted out? I've read reports on 2008 and newer, but cna't find anything on the 1997

[@vOrsythe]

I have the same van but red and no privacy windows but the to front doors broke so I'm tryna get that fixed and I'm tryna mod it to look better because I took out the headliner on the roof because of a leak problem gotta redue the carpet and I wanna get mine looking like yours but part for this van in 2021 are hard to find

[@bobbydavenport5121]

Pretty y sharp van I had a 1996 dodge ram 2500 conversion van it was prime conversion

[@lil_redspun]

Wow! That's a nice van, I think the newer ones look wacko

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Thanks! It is pretty sweet. You don't find many that are this loaded.

[@applesauceman3555]

Where could i buy some interior items like those compartments?

[@Elivayshon]

Dat seatbelt alarm tho. XD

[@malachi9898]

Can’t even see anything with all these extreme close ups.

[@Jac2Mac]

Will the scary buzzer from this Dodge Van fit into a 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan or not?

[@LadyTSurvival]

nice van but you were swinging the camera so fast it made me dizzy. next time pan slowwwwly

[@MrSustainableVegas]

Nice! How much did you pay for it and what's the mpg? I'm thinking of getting one so just asking..

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Got a good deal on it at an estate auction. Only paid $1,000! MPG is about 15 City and 17 Highway.

[@alexanderbarrera9140]

wtf

[@nervouswreck392]

Did this van have the overdrive trans in it? My 95 don't is 3 speed only. Sucks on the hwy!

[@zakarylakota]

They must have changed the dash in 98. We had a 98 and the steering wheel and gauges were a lot different.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Yep! They did. They also refreshed the face a little bit.

[@georgeturner3rd220]

I'm so sad. My Mark III was stolen today and my heart is broken. I can't believe that this could happen to me.

[@gregcosta7787]

do you still have this van

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

How much you selling the camcorder for?

[@Daniel28021991]

Very cool van, why does it have a Chrysler steeringwheel?

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Thanks! I think some older Dodge vehicles used that symbol. I'm not sure though.

[@tapethegrape8195]

Dodge and Plymouth is owned by Chrysler

[@kylereid6568]

how many miles?

[@Tigerfire75]

Those don't even look like they powered mirrors. Not saying they aren't just wouldn't tell by looking

[@user-ij3sv3wy5b]

I want to polish its lights

[@screamingdean5]

How well do Dodge Ram vans stack up against Chevrolet Cargo vans?

[@tapethegrape8195]

I'd like to know aswell

[@infernaldaedra]

7 years late but I'd say these hold up well still see them driving around everywhere

[@bobbydavenport5121]

What's the coach manufacturer

[@applesauceman3555]

I just got myself the exact same van but in red. and the poor thing has not been taken care of at all. the paint is faded and the cloth on the roof is falling off. but as my first vehicle i love it xD.

[@screamingdean5]

+Seth Johnston Does it still run pretty well?

[@applesauceman3555]

Screaming Dean Runs like a dream :) I use it now mainly for band tour around the states. And i have done some major modifications to the inside XD

[@gregphillips3840]
