This Is My 1998 2ndGen Cummins!

[@capamerica88]

Love videos like this for inspiration. Getting a bone stock ‘94 with a 12v. Only downside is it’s 2 wheel drive.

I love a second gen, but I can't for the life of me understand how this thin wall deep dish tire thing caught on with the younger genteration. Why you would turn your shit into a mall crawler instead of having a useable truck on some 35" r17's is beyond me.

That's a Beautiful 2nd Gen ! Keep Them Alive Boys 💪

But it's an automatic... Ain't nothing if it don't have a 6 speed. A Nv5600 not a g56! The g56 ain't got nothing on a nv5600, it weights like 480 lbs. behemoth cast iron trans not cast alumn. Only thing bigger than the 5609 is an Eaton fuller super 6! Which is a medium dirty dump truck trans, like you'd find on a single axle ford dump truck from the '90's with a 12v for a motor,. The nv5600 is considered a 'medium duty' trans, not a light truck transmission like the g56. So if your saying 'I'm gunna manual swap it' set your sights on a nv5600, they ain't cheap.l and they are getting harder and harder to find. A brand new one will set ya back $10k. And I've seen complete 2nd gen manual swap kits with everything needed, every bit bolt, clutch, driveshafts, crossmembers, trans, adapters. everything. Organized and strapped down on a pallet ready to ship for $7k. That's going to be the easiest way to do it. Or buy your own parts truck. The auto trans in 2nd gen's don't matter if it's a 12v or a 24v, they are just plain junk. You can have a full out billet thru and thru trans built that's got all the doo dads and upgrades imaginable, and it'll set ya back $7k-$8k to star. Or you could manual swap it and fix it forever. Heh. It's quite the Dilemma. I've got my sights set on that get from stock steering set up. I considered building my own hiem joint steering. Why you always see the front grill badge always missing every time someone's replaced the front grille? Are the badges hard to find or something? Discontinued OE? No aftermarket? I dunno, I always see it where someone's missing the front grille badge. I know it's stick on and I'm sure it's impossible to remove and not ruin and destroy it. I'm pretty sure I've seen aftermarket reproduction ones. Heh it wouldn't be hard to kick something out on a 3d printer with a rams head on it. Your beds munched, looks like it had some rust starting in it anyways. Beds aren't hard to find. Or flat bed it! I had a nice Bradford built dove tailed rear flatbed on my '93 reg cab first gen 12v and it was awesome! I miss having a table with me everywhere I went. Back up to party and everyone's sitting on your flat bed, playing beer pong across yours flat bed, ot becomes the party's picnic table, a dance floor, a place to work on something, set stuff. I had the little side thingies that flipped up or you could put them down and have a compleatly flat smooth bed surface across, but you have to strap everything down! There's no just tossing a cooler in the back and off you go. Everything has to be strapped or fastened down. Having the side skirt tool boxes was nice to put smaller things in and then stay clean and dry. I've pondered flattering my '02 24v HO 6 speed. It's a 4 door club cab long bed. Straight, rust free, clean flawless white paint job. Perfect tail gate. Has 5th wheel rails and a thick spray in bed liners. There's not even a little ding or dent inside the bed anywhere. Flawless. I'd look at and consider a flatbed dude. I absolutely loved my flat bed first gen Cummins. It was so much more useful than having a OE bed. Most people just throw a bunch of junk or crap in their beds they don't even use them for anything except it being a catch all dumpster for trash, beer cans, junk, leaves and crap that fall in there and collect, snow and ice build up. Having that flatbed put some good weight over the rear axle. Got a lot better traction in the winter on the snow here in Colorado. Typically every winter I'd stick 4-5 of them 70lb tube sand bags in the bed over the rear axle for some weight. And if ya get in a bing and are stuck spinning your tires you can slice one of them things open and spread that pea gravel sand out for some traction! Dual usage! I dunno why more people don't think to do that. lol these trucks have no traction in the rear empty, and it don't matter what kinda tires you got, there just so light in the a$$ end. A flat bed will fix that! My '93 first gen was unstoppable 4wheelin around hunting camp in the snow on 33's. That weight from the flatbed gave it the traction weight it needed to just dig dig dig and not just sit there and spin its wheels ontop of the snow and ice!
