Taking a Ride in the First Gen Dodge Cummins with stacks

banging some gears in the downhill dodge! HX35 turbo, 2nd gen intercooler, 5x13 injectors, a little pump work.

[@AdamHemi]

not kidding I play this video in the background when I'm doing homework. The engine's sound gave me a sense of chill

[@themadmailler]

+Adam Ye I'm glad you like it that much! thanks!

[@MichaelTJD60]

+Adam Ye Same here lol. Nothing like a 12v Cummins.

[@GwopUpEnt]

Asmr lol

[@philchavez366]

Literally doing that right now lol

[@Clones2011]

Yeah it's sounds amazing but we both know that's a bullshit lie

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good this truck sounds…?

[@Mr.Stroke0331]

Just stopped by for my daily fix of the best music available

[@themadmailler]

haha, thanks!

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

the days when trucks were trucks, oh how I miss those days....

[@Branbran1993]

SteelCity1981 Yes! The days before they were just luxury family vehicles with a bed. This here is what we call a real truck.

[@Northbravo]

@@austinwilliamson2920 depends on what year truck this was, because if it was a certain year it had electronics

[@Kayoss90]

i've got an 89, first year for the first gens, wish it was a five speed, i still love her to death though, i'm 16, my grandpa passed down it to my dad, and my dad passed it down to me, i love it, so grateful

[@themadmailler]

very cool! keep in mind a 5-speed swap is possible!

[@carson2.3]

I love how mechanical the first and second gens are

[@jaggass]

Every gear is in a different state.

[@blackericdenice]

Who did your alignment Ray Charles?

[@themadmailler]

***** HAHA!! Thanks for the laugh! you can thank one of the numerous idiot previous owners for that shoddy job. it's not an alignment issue, the steering shaft was replaced and was not clocked correctly. it's getting fixed soon with a Borgeson shaft!

[@blackericdenice]

themadmailler That would drive me crazy if I had to drive it.

[@themadmailler]

That's why it's getting fixed! it was pretty annoying.

[@blackericdenice]

themadmailler I have not drove a p/u but I did drive a 97 Ford 650 low ride with the 5.9 intercooled, 6 speed manual and that thing would haul to 75 mph governor. Also was my 1st. time with Hydrostatic brakes.

[@themadmailler]

***** yea, those motors can haul!

[@AQLandscaping]

Steering wheel is nice and aligned! Haha, sweet truck.

[@smexypolak]

Nice truck, can't go wrong with the first and second gens. I wouldn't trade my 3500 for the world.

[@MrThatnativeguy]

Brings back memories of my Papas Black 93' Cummins , thing scared the shit out of me but I eventually loved the sound as a child

[@onlylikenerd]

I'm in a process of taking a 1983 dodge w350 crew cab body off of it's original frame, and putting it onto a 1997 12v cummins 5 speed chassis. This video, and a few others are what keep me going haha

[@thegame8791]

Awesome Vid! Love the 12 valve Cummins! She sounds dam good! 👍

[@69ChevroletNova]

Me & my friend Terry were going for a ride in his 1989 1 Gen Dodge Cummins TD 5.9L W250 3/4 ton 4x4 5 speed with (roughly 620,000 k) we had to go to Western Star Trucks from Qualicum Beach B.C. to Campbell River B.C. on Vancouver Island & every time I hear him start out in 2nd thru them gears it was the best sound ever gives me chills too music to my ears!!! his cummins has a straight Pipe Exhaust with a 4 inch pipe on the end (NOT Stacks) that well Broken in Diesel Engine sounds just like a semi truck he even slapped the shifter 3rd Gear over to 5 Gear. (Now i'll tell you what happened earlier that day & why we had to go to Western Star) Terry owns to Western Star Trucks a 1985 Blue Western Star Dump Truck with Cummins Diesel Motor & 15 Speed Trans 2 speed rear end & a 2002 Western Star Highway Truck for haulin' Heavy Duty Loads it's got a sleeper Cab the Engine is a 3406 Cat Diesel rated 550 H.P. with a 18 speed & 2 speed rear end. So we were hauling Gravel in a Belly Dumper to Terry & Vicky's (his wife) farm last Load to, when we pulled out onto the New highway at the Horn Lake road turn off his Clutch was working fine then when we got down to the Qualicum Beach/Port Alberni intersection his Clutch Pedal wasn't working was I scared no way haha Terry drove truck for a long time. so he geared it down without the clutch to try beating the red light no dice awe (either that or he could Push the cars outta his way LOL) so we went south & go up the Port alberni Highway & find a turn off/gravel road. parked it there for about a week Ya a week it took a while for the clutch Pedal Link rod to be ordered. so Terry called his son Tage to come with the Only Truck with Terry's Tools can ya guess the Mighty Dodge Cummins Sweet Oh & at the Gas station a Guy had his 1 Gen 1992 or 93 Dodge Cummins too that was pretty cool. Later guys best story of my life well one of them :D Love the sound of the Dodge Never Gets Old ;)

This truck sounds amazing. We have a 1991 Dodge Ram 250 4x4 with an automatic. Its been our old farm truck since my dad drove it off the showroom floor! Its been beat to hell and back and still runs like a champ! Definitely tough trucks! I want one for myself, buts its very hard to find a decent one for cheap, and even harder to find em in 5 speeds manuals AND 4 wheel drive! Which is a must for our brutal Minnesota winters!

[@themadmailler]

yea, the 5 speed 4x4 is a tough one to come by! good luck! if you have the money to pay the premium, check ebay. they have some nice trucks come up relatively often.

[@superkittybtc]

[@jakegetz6636]

yeah seriously! do you know why it makes that noise? i want my truck to sound like that lol its sick

[@keith2860]

its compressor surge im pretty sure, not 100% though. the trucks sound like that if you floor it in an auto and completely let off the pedal, in a manual it happens while shifting at a higher rpm.

[@jnic2003]

@@jakegetz6636 it basically happens when you build boost and let off the throttle

[@angeltristan5855]

[@devontroupe296]

ok thank you so much!

[@lewiscordell80]

Love these 1994 and older Dodge D Series Pickups/Ramchargers. This interior is 1986-1994 model year for this truck and the old body style from 1972-1994 model and it is a good shape. Buzz sound is from older trucks to all the way through 1997 model year. I think this truck is a 1994 Dodge D250.

[@themadmailler]

this is an 89 w350. this body style lasted until 1993, in 1994 they changed the body style to the much more common "second gen" style. D series is 2wd and W series is 4x4.

[@coreyjohnston5962]

wrong . dodge went to the second gen body style and changes to the cummins in 1994

[@jacobnichols7899]

Either you're turning left the whole time or you're driving a dodge. Lmao just kidding I love these first gens.

how man km or miles are on this? i love it, ive been deciding on the truck I want for awhile and its definably the cummins. I love the older models. my dad has and loves the 93-98 gen for the 1500s and that

[@themadmailler]

198,000 miles. the first gen trucks are definitely tough trucks! just watch out for rot. these trucks like to rust...

[@erwin643]

With a 5-speed! Damn. I'd like to add that to my Banks Intercooler and 4-inch Diamond Eye exhaust system.

[@rebeldude24]

I could listen to this all day lol I lost my Cummins back in 09 to a dump truck that a red and turned her into a horseshoe on the passengers side :( I ended up wasting the insurance money on loose women and a Cheaper dodge gas truck. I think it's time to buy a new one lol.

[@themadmailler]

+rebeldude24 That sucks man! time for another!

The 1st and 2nd gens with the stick shifts are great. My 5.2l sounds perfect with the new exhaust on it.

Dream truck, i was gunna buy one but they have went up, old man has one in town i want, bet he will never sell it, id keep it stock just straight pipe it with nice tip, millon mile motor, the cheapest decent one run you about 10k to 12k.

[@DoodleN4zi1]

Great Video! This is my dream truck, I am currently 16 and turning 17 soon and I have just been curios to check on price ranges anywhere! I live in Ontario and I can't seem to find any 1st gen Cummins, do you have any suggestions on where to look for a truck like this!?!?! Thanks! :)

[@themadmailler]

as far as canada, i have no idea. I found mine on craigslist. you can also consider looking into buying in the US and transporting it to your country. i don't know what legal BS would be involved in that though... good luck!

[@econrey]

What's the final ratio in it? Noticed you did a 2nd gear start. Truck sounds good, it's too bad there aren't a few more around that aren't completely beat to death.

[@themadmailler]

not sure, i think they came with 3.73 gears or something like that. i turn about 2100 or 2200 RPM's at 65 MPH in 5th. I always start in 2nd, speed wise it's like 1st in any other car. unless i have something heavy in the back 1st is useless except for crawling or parking lot maneuvers.

[@BOSSArcticCat]

swapping my auto for the nv4500. I can't wait for it to have overdrive!

[@Cumminslife]

+Justin Hagen It will feel like a whole new truck!

[@BOSSArcticCat]

+Cummins life the swap is done. I'm going to take pictures and do a full write up on the cummins forum for anyone else looking to do the same swap. It was pretty easy. 3.07 gears are a bit long for the truck but 20mpg is pretty great!

[@dukes20084]

You definitely seem to take care of your truck.

[@themadmailler]

Thank you! she's no show queen but i like to take care of the important mechanical things before all else.

[@dukes20084]

themadmailler I wish I could find one of these first gens. I don't care if it's wrecked I'd find a way to fix it.

[@themadmailler]

You'll find one. just keep looking. craigslist, ebay, for sale section on cumminsforum. expect a low-end but functioning truck to go for $3-4000. good luck!

[@orest395]

The thing sounds like a big rig

[@anthonytorres5648]

I fucking love the old school dodge diesels the 1st gen is the best

[@joshua6200]

nice

[@MultiShultz]

When I did people's alignments; I'd come to them cross-eyed and say "Don't worry, I did your alignment my self!" I think whoever did his alignment wasn't joking...

[@themadmailler]

the alignment was fine, but the steering shaft was replaced in the past and the steering wheel orientation was not paid attention to. it's fixed now.

[@brenthays8509]

Does anyone know where I can get a bumper for my 1st gen 1991 Cummins d250

[@drewgardner81]

Sounds nice. What turbo are you running

[@themadmailler]

thanks! check out my other video where i discuss my marine 370 injector and HX35 turbo install.

[@SuperDriver379]

Turbo bark never gets old, almost sounds like a H1C?

[@themadmailler]

my H1C never talked this much! this is an HX35. see my other video of how i installed it!

[@ramoncarrasco3283]

nice...

[@jimwest1967]

Doesn't anyone know what a granny gear is anymore.... i must be old

[@kctrooper24]

What is a granny gear?

[@themadmailler]

extra low first gear.

[@rosse.5342]

My 1990 cummins has 4.10 gearing so 1st doesn't even go 5mph

[@redtra236]

My dad has a 1989 cummins and I find it necessary to use first gear in most cases when starting. I'm not sure how low it has to be to be considered a granny gear but it doesn't seem that low to me. Now my 1966 Ford F250's first gear is definitely a granny gear. It's so low I hardly ever use it. To even go into first gear without badly grinding on it you have to come to a complete stop and sit with the clutch in for about a second.

[@redtra236]

That said when I've driven it it's normally loaded down with a heavy steel flatbed, loaded grain feeder, and hay bale carrier so that might be why I feel the need to use first gear.

[@kevinhawley962]

IM jelly of ur 12 valve 6bt xD

[@devontroupe296]

could you make a video of the turbo because I have a gen 2 turbo and I would like this sound on my truck and what kind of boost elbow

[@themadmailler]

take a look at my 1st gen playlist, i have several turbo videos that should help you out!

[@jkuri89]

Amazing sound except for the rod knock

[@chasebush7105]

jkuri89 that’s the trans

[@tannerrutland2730]

the older tha tougher

[@chaseholloway4253]

is that a 5 speed?

[@mentlegen8187]

are first gen steering wheels ALWAYS turned any degree but the right one, i know mine is

[@Thibault_95]

Wow there's alot of throw between those gears

[@themadmailler]

you really row your way through with this transmission!

[@coleseaweed2494]

How do you get that cool sound when ever you shift

[@themadmailler]

I have an HX35 turbo installed on it. It was a great turbo! I swapped it for an HE351 which i am not as happy with.

[@olivierroyer4236]

what is the name of the sound when he shift its like oooh

[@themadmailler]

+olivier royer it's just the sound of the turbo spooling down.

[@hilmurleaf8146]

is there a name for the sound it makes between shifts? this video is awesome!

[@quzzolajuawan4026]

that sounds like a bov... blow off valve. lets the turbo charge air off when you let off the throttle

[@themadmailler]

no BOV on this turbo... i believe most diesels don't have one.

[@quzzolajuawan4026]

+themadmailler oh okay thanks!!!

[@thatkidsmokin]

Booooooost!

[@Shrapnel-sq2uk]

hey i have a question about your truck is 1st gear on your first gen a low gear for hauling which means you need to launch in 2nd gear or is it fairly long

[@themadmailler]

+Shrapnel2448 1st gear is really only good for hauling or crawling slowly around a parking lot or over rough terrain. starting in 2nd in this truck is like starting in 1st in any other car or smaller truck.

[@MsJinkerson]

the only thing I don't like is the shift pattern dodge could have made it like the fuller roadranger

[@themadmailler]

+MsJinkerson it's identical to every other 5-speed pickup out there...

[@jamessirojr5827]

How does the turbo make that sound when up shifting

[@44boman]

Its turbo bark. It comes from not letting the turbo wind down before you let off the throttle.

[@monsieurlepecheur3189]

Water in fuel?🤔😉

[@mrceleb2006]

Imagine if a Lamborghini LM002 was powered by a Cummins 6BT instead of a thirsty V12...

[@ppppsssshhhh71]

Coming from a car guy I couldn't stand that throw on that shifter. So long!

[@thenickers48]

That's the best part. These things aren't for short throw speed shifting, it's part of the experience

[@themadmailler]

+Nick Rossow-Smith I don't even notice it. just push it into the next gear and keep going... the clutch travel is about a mile long too. i love it because it makes it super easy to push!

[@fleshbloodandbone7311]

How do you get the hx35 to sound that loud? I want my 12 valve to sound like this 🤤

[@themadmailler]

all i did was take out the silencer ring.

[@fleshbloodandbone7311]

Mine doesnt have the silencer ring either but it still doesnt whistle as loud. Im getting a boost control module and boost gauge so maybe I can get 35psi out of it

[@sheabennett3130]

How did you find daily driving it without a intercooler?

[@themadmailler]

The lack of an intercooler with this set up is only an issue if you live in a very hilly area or if you're hauling weight, IMO.
