Turbo Diesel First Gen CUMMINS Makeover

We clean the interior and exterior on the Federal 1993 Dodge Ram350 turbo diesel Cummins and do some much needed work to the wiring. Also we do a little something to improve the look of the truck! As always, appreciate the support, and enjoy!

[@willkrull7316]

This is like the 130 thousand dollar truck of today. Top of the line of its time.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

You got that right!

[@erwin643]

They've already skyrocketed in value, to roughly half that.

[@ortego61]

I would daily drive the hell out of this. Turning every head at the mall. This has got the detail geek written all over it

Great work, truck is looking beautiful. looking forward to more fixes and upgrades!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thanks! More to come.

[@beau6694]

Would you sell it

[@72mardy]

I love this rig. You'd be surprised how well that carpet will come up with a proper deep clean. Take it out, give it a go over with the pressure washer and soap, then degreaser and a steam vacuum.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thanks! A couple people have mentioned the steam vacuum, will have to try it out.

[@tigerstripeeyes9871]

Simple Green is an excellent degreaser... put it on fully concentrated out in the warm sun and let it sit for a few minutes, then use a drill-powered scrubber on it and rinse with a low-powered pressure cleaner. Repeat if necessary when extremely dirty. Then use a steamer vacuum on it and your carpet will look as good as it's ever going to get again.

This baby needs a complete restoration! She is beautiful

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Sure is

[@Cervan]

jump start is common in sleeper cabs and RV's that have a separate battery setup to run lights, heaters, tv's and charge phones etc. But if you kill your main starting battery you can use your Sleeper batteries to "Jump" your main starting battery.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Good to know

[@krispayne729]

The old 93 Ram 3500 looks pretty good. A little bit of boffin to the paint, paint the tailgate. Fix a tiny bit of rusty issue above those rear doors and it's gonna look awesome. It's a nice look and truck. And very rare. You don't see a lot of those rams with a sleeper conversion. It's actually kind of cool

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Very rare! The rust is going to be the hardest fix along that drip rail

[@user-dv7nk7hy3f]

Try using "Rust Cutter" or "Coreseal" on the rust. It turns it into black color chemically , seizing the rust, then prime and top coat it with spray paint.

[@Iskxvspeeddually]

that truck has a nice deep sound with the stacks on it

[@HIGHFX-381-Entertainment]

Just a tip for next time youre cleaning leather or vinyl like that you can use a drill with a brush attatchment. Me and my Dad used to do it to clean mold off of boat seats. Love the truck tho!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Great tip!

[@Lanni_747]

Big improvement. Bet a hand held steam cleaner would go even farther.

[@jeeperzcreeperzz]

You red my mind

The relays that the "jumpstart" button activate look like the grid heater relays. They are activated by ground closing the circuit to allow power to cross and heat the grid. When the PCM ground would go out on the second gens you just ran a wire from battery ground to switch and switch to the relay. Once the button is pushed the circuit is closed. Look up grid heater relays and you'll see what i mean.
