Bought this CHEAP 12 Valve Cummins project! How many problems can I find on it??

[@jeepanimal2943]

I'm on the "save it Sam" camp. Like you said, it's a clean title Cummins 5 speed truck. Rare in my area, and in semi decent condition.

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

It's a 50-50 truck. 100% worth saving, but 100% worth donating if you have a better build truck. Then 1 could save 4 trucks.

[@RevDeaconMichael]

Absolutely, look forward to your videos! Can’t wait to check out the 98’ junk yard dog. Also, that 96’ is looking great!

[@rowlanhill9819]

Love watching your work it makes my day I had to rewatch grandma truck again it looks nice

[@mitchel9721]

I bought my ‘97 12 valve almost ten years ago. 5 speed, with the higher output non-CA rated engine. I’ll probably never let it go

[@Banana_Johnsonn]

I’m on the save it side. Really only the dash and a bit of the interior is shot. But a clean title 5 speed 12v is Almost to good to pass up. And the outside is in decent shape too.

[@Itz_a_prado78]

Restore to your best judgement. Thank you for the videos. Keep it up.

[@Thejohnmullen]

Man I love the sound of old 12 valves. I wish there was a way to know when you listed trucks for sale. Everything on the east coast is rotten for the most part.

[@VBELTandSON]

I will post it on here

[@VMac822]

All stock 12V head gaskets leak in time, normally coolant at the front. I would save that 96, replace the head gasket and put in better seats and use it just to beat around in. Sort of your off-road rig you don’t care gets scratched up or filthy.

[@johard3688]

It deserves some love. On a side note, I have some body work to do on my 98. Not looking forward to it as I have never done any dent or fiberglass work lol.

[@georgeenriquez612]

You should save it for content on the channel and to keep another one on the road.

[@sprucegoose1016]

Maybe fix er up in the future. Definitely alot of work there....

[@danieldumford3249]

Put 180 pounds on pinion bearings. I did it to mine at 200k. No rebuild rear end yet

[@kendalltrahan3791]

man i used to have a 99 53 block 24valve like this with the same color scheme. i miss that truck everday. it had like 400k miles and no visable blowby.

[@jamesvaldez4093]

I have a 99 just like you with a 5 speed and the 53 block. It's got 215,000 miles and I worry about the block number problem but it keeps going and runs strong. No blowby.

[@BosBrandon]

I would save it, but that lyft kit definitely needs to go. Sway bars need to go. But I would make it right 100%, I wouldn't Put some work into it and leave the rest

[@paultasker9759]

That red looks nice!

[@TooTallharley]

Hi Boone. Sorry about the Shepard, your new pup looks like the one I got 2 years ago.

[@austinfabela7717]

If only I had you as a friend lol I'm always working on my 2nd gen doing stuff upgrading and more need more buds in the same truck addiction

[@zackmitchell9470]

Save it it’s pretty clean and I know what you mean about hack jobs because I’ve been slowly fixing my 2000 nv5600 and unhigh schooling it

[@tomdog266]

I'm sorry about ur German pup it's sad but I hope u n the kidos r taking it ok

[@chadepperson5609]

Sorry to hear about your dog, Sam.

[@stephenbrown571]

I still waiting to see old yeller driving. Running gear out of a Dakota would. Be perfect for that truck.

[@JohnDiMartino]

I thought I heard you call that a 96 ,it’s got a 98 interior in it,so I’m guessing it’s a 98. Those goofy battery adapters are to use group 31 HD semi truck batteries which are alot better and cheaper than the group 27s Dodge put in them from the factory. Amzthat old gal fired right up sitting for 6 months!

[@VBELTandSON]

It’s a 96. Seats from something else.

[@AdamMiller-s8d]

Selfishly I’d love to see that head gasket replaced but you gotta do what’s best for you

[@MegaRpgPlayer]

Is that driveshaft carrier bearing not shot with all the movement there?

[@12Values]

Love the videos been a big fan for awhile can’t get enough of these’s 2gen’s wondering if you do work on gasser or just diesel?

[@danebollenbach4739]

id fix the head gasket put those new fenders take out the trac bars and let it rip like that with the new 37s

[@abandonedxship]

Save it. It’s not that bad.

[@jasonroark4244]

What’s $500 matter Love the 01 on the walk thru door

[@pedrocastillo5913]

SAVE IT! WELL WORTH IT!

[@CazYung]

Why don’t you recommend 37” tires on these trucks? Honest question because I’m looking to buy new tires for my 22 2500

[@jordangochnour7356]

Just bought my first 12 valve. What are some of the first things you do?

[@mitchel9721]

That really depends on what you mean by first things.. id say make sure the KDP it taken care of. a set of gauges might be nice to monitor things like egts and fuel pressure. Other than that id go through the fluids

[@LoneWolf-cf5tp]

Damn right save it. There’s enough donors out there.

[@LoneWolf-cf5tp]

Yes. Look forward to the junkyard truck. lol

[@jamesdimarzio3181]

Love the content like this and all I gotta ask is are you using a microphone for video. Def sounds like you are in a tank or something 🤔

[@michaelkane8359]

That truck needs saving. So does the junkyard truck. It’s only 500 bucks 😂

[@EkzdeeLFT]

great video sam

[@JustinSchooler-f2j]

I'd probably save it, hate doing a head gasket tho lol

[@Nicksvintageiron]

My dad's 97 12 valve head gasket did the same thing at 325k. It rotted/rusted out and just leaked

[@peanutsmith1462]

We all agree the truck is worth saving…. I can’t stand it when people lie about their truck or car to get over on someone these people on market place are smoking crack some teenage kid probably had that truck and raw dog the living shit out of it

[@michaelmeyers1827]

Merry xmas

[@BosBrandon]

Did u buy that from John V

[@VBELTandSON]

@@BosBrandon negative

[@BosBrandon]

@VBELTandSON o k , because that truck look like one that a buddy of buying head for sale put stop leak in to try to replace or repair the head gasket

[@VBELTandSON]

@ I’ve had this truck for almost a year idk

[@robertchandler6795]

I’m interested….

[@JohnPatterson-zv5ik]

I would like to have a chance to buy the truck u working on please

[@ryanrich9186]

I would love to have that truck if you want to sell it in one peice and running/driving well enough to getter home.

[@VBELTandSON]

I will fix it before shake

[@ryanrich9186]

@VBELTandSON how far are you from Colorado and what will your target range be for a sale price? I need a good truck for pulling my cattle trailer.

[@VBELTandSON]

In nor cal

[@ryanrich9186]

@VBELTandSON got a business email that we can discuss this further?

[@timothyfarley8590]

I would save the truck and drive it

[@J-10dude]

Save it

[@Connorjp5513]

Would you sell it as is?

[@VBELTandSON]

@@Connorjp5513 I don’t sell unfinished rigs. Sorry I like the rigs to leave here in good running order

[@dakotashireman6404]

Another dodge? I’m shocked

[@VBELTandSON]

@@dakotashireman6404 I’ve got 3 more since this one.

[@michaelmeyers1827]

I’d save it

[@chrisgillard7355]

Dude the gas isn’t on lol it shouldn’t be sparkling like that 😅

[@VBELTandSON]

Haha it wasn’t on hah welded hot tho

[@kerrywaldrop4546]

Fix it

[@TheMoparGarage]

Man… you win some, you lose some. I’m not sure she’s worth saving. I think the guy 100% knew about the head gasket. I hope the 3rd gen you traded him fails him and pays him back!

[@rasruhmann4463]

I buy that truck 💯

[@tomdog266]

Head gasket, back to factory hight n sell it......... to me lol

[@DuckbumSD]

Save it ☝️
