Unfortunately after about a year, he sold that truck

That's a really muscular sounding V6!

Very nice! I’m sorry for the loss of Wesley

Is not a Chevy or a Ford but I like it, it has personality and a "in ur face" look. Good one Kyle!

I think this things needs a 6.4 Hemi shoe-horned into it! A single cab, short bed, 2 wheel drive is the perfect platform for a muscle truck!

Stay away from new hemis. Had one 2017 ram with a hemi in it, camshaft and lifters went out at 58000 miles.

The 318 and the 360 one of the best dodge engines ever made!

As a Mopar man, you cannot believe just how much I love seeing a Ram in your possession, hope to see some cool stuff done with this, not too crazy, but still some nice upgrades.

Chrysler column shifts of this era were all really smooth that I remember. My parents had a 98 caravan and it was silky smooth to shift and I remember watching one of Kyle's reviews a long time ago on the AWD town and country and he also commented on the smoothness of the shifter.

The 90's/00's Chrysler column shifters were the best. GM vehicles always had super notchy ones (except some Cadillac and Buick sedans) while Ford had really loose ones. Sad you can't really get them anymore except in a fleet vehicle, which they still make because they're better.

Column shifters are my favorite

That was my favorite generation Dodge Ram. Chrysler really knocked it out of the park in 1994 when they designed and released that body style. I still remember that generation Dodge Ram being famous in Twister and Walker, Texas Ranger. The 1990s was a fun decade to grow up in.

Awesome video Kyle. My grandfather‘s first truck that I remember him having since I was born was a 1998 ram 1500 SLT but his had a backseat as well as a V8. He now has a 2020 Toyota tundra TRD pro and he absolutely loves it. Keep the green videos coming Kyle

I’ve had 3 of these trucks and they all did that going into overdrive

Glad you did a video on this. These are my favorite generation. I remember seeing them new on the lot. Instant like. I've owned a few 2nd gen diesel trucks but I've always wanted the work model or an ST V6 Reg cab long box. Just a good work truck. I have a 2017 Tradesman 1500 currently I bought new. Probably the best quality Ram trucks have had. However something about that older generation I love. Take care Kyle!

My friend had a manual ram just like that one in high school and no matter what hell he put that through it wouldn't die. Love it

Man the quote 'they just don't make them like they used to anymore' applies here. This truck is in immaculate shape and no rust. It's hard to find these in really good shape. Glad you and Christal decided to keep it!

Masterpiece ever until now 2023. Great

Totally reminds me of my uncles 1st gen Tacoma v6 that I’m using rn. Runs decent, shocks are worn, base trim and it’s 20 years old. Keep it up man

Amazing RAM ! Love Dodge from Italy! You are great

This is the best thing for this old truck, with you as the new owner, you will refurbish this truck to excellent condition and bring it back to life! You are probably one of the best detailers in the country, so I can't wait to see the end results when you're done.

Looks like a great truck Kyle! I recently picked up a 2003 Ram 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins 6 speed manual. Man I love my truck!

Sorry for your loss . That truck looks well loved I my self have a Indy ram had it almost 17 years. The second gen rams are awesome looking trucks. I fell in love with them the moment I saw one take good care of her.

Awesome truck and class video, you actually went ahead and did it, thank you SK04 👍😎

The truck's in excellent shape! Take good care of it, Kyle!

Great to see you're keeping your father-in-law's legacy alive by keeping and maintaining his truck.

I AGREE!!!!! Column shifters are my favorite!!!

All my life I’ve been around 2nd gen dodges. I love them. I own a 99 2500 that’s been a big project of mine. My dad has bought a 96 1500 5.2 2wd with low miles and it drove like a car. So smooth

I agree Dodge shifters are incredibly smooth to shift. My Grandpa has a late 90s Dodge truck similar to this he uses as a "field beater" for his farm which I've used for some stuff, and it's so smooth. Wheras driving his 1989 GMC, the shifter is like clunk clunk clunk and a little harder to shift, but with the Dodge you don't have that.

I own my 2nd Ram, this one is a 99 1500 Laramie SLT 4WD 5.2 lifted. They look awesome, sound awesome and drive awesome. The cracked dashes are a huge problem, to see this one with no broken dash is amazing.

I had a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport and I loved it! Needed work so I couldn't do anything with it

Here in NY, when I do a simple shock swap, I get the gas axe ready, a 3 lb Tonya Harding 🔨 ready, and lastly basic tools

That's a great video of this old truck thank you for sharing it to us viewer's

Owned a 97 SS/T blk/tan. Loaded, one of the prettiest trucks I’ve ever seen.

LOL!!! I instantly love this saying..."you barely have enough power to get out of your own way"

Completely agree with you on the column shifter. I drove gm vehicles all the time and I never got the gear right the first time and it always felt harsh and weird when shifting. When I got a 4th gen ram it easily became the best column shifter I ever used.

I actually prefer the seats in the work trucks over the SLT’s they’re so comfortable compared to them

Mighty good truck you got 👍

mines like this but inburgundy and it has a v8 with over 200,000 miles in it and it is great , it was my grandpas and i just got it today

Dad has a 1997 v6 with a Manuel, awesome truck good on gas and been really reliable

I can agree with you on the column shifter, even my 98 GMC is notchy like yours.

Nice truck Kyle westly is gonna love it

keep it going and working hard in his Memory 🤙🏻

Awesome video Kyle!

Nothing more beautiful than a 2nd Gen Ram

I have a friend whose dad used to have a red dodge ram 1500 with the suicide doors from this generation, except that it's not in this condition. He ended up getting rid of it and bought a 2019 ram 1500 with the full size back doors.

My brother is a master mechanic and has been doing automatic transmissions since he was 17 and we just recently changed the transmission fluid in a1999 f 150 with no issues

Wow thats a very unique Ram! Simple and bare bones inside, an SLT looking trim outside but with a V6 very interesting might i also add that truck is so clean for its age

This singlehandedly makes me glad I bought my 98 to restore, I love that truck to death. Shocks are the most worthwhile repair one can do for a vehicle, I just put a set on my 2000 Explorer after ONLY 308K miles, and man what a difference. I'd put them off because of rust but PB is your friend.

That is a super clean 2 gen.awesome truck!

Love those wheels and tires!

I still have my 1995 Dodge Ram Laramie SLT. I see yours is suffering from the typical Chrysler paint issues… But it’s fantastic to see one without any rust on it!

There is a gap in every person's life that only an old basic work truck can fill! Not even a Dodge fan to be honest, but this thing has character and I love it man!

Awesome truck there Kyle. Will get the job done

Excellent, i wish regular cab trucks still sold.

TLC is all she needs. Thanks for the review! Be well my friend!

I do remember having a 95' dodge ram 1500 like that shape but it had a back seat you had to move the front seats, it needed a water pump but it went to the junkyard and i hope someone has it taking care of it

I always loved those generation of Dodge Trucks.

OH YEAH This is the kind of content we WANT

Holding on to it now that’s love for a Ram

awsome video kyle i love those old dodges i bin watching you for a few years i dont know if i said it before if i did not well i bin watching you since you use to do thise old car reviews back at your family dealership and tecitnally this is really my first time commenting so i willl like and coment on every video u make from this video on plus i alredy subcribed to you along time ago lol anyways i watched the hole jimmy resto that type of stuff is my favlorite thing to do is doing restos to old cars trucks and make it look new with lots of mods i watch the hole series and loved it and really likeing the nissan i watched the hole thing i really loved the test drive of it with the new engine u have in it man does it sound nicde with the new 5 speed trans in it it has that turbo kind of noise when u go up to a certain rpm thats like my favrotie sound soon a s you shift lol anyways cant wait for more viddeos going to watcht the other one now

For a V6, this really sounds like the bigger SUVs and pickup trucks with V8 engines with potent sound. The engine and even the exhaust sounded like that.

I had an 96 Laramie. I had over 250.000 but was in still great shape. Just like that. Mine was a hunter green.

I had a 1994 version of this same truck, the only difference was it was red, long bed with the 5 speed manual. Cool truck!

Put in an 8.0 V10 and do a second gen srt10 tribute. Maybe use a factory Ram SST style bodykit and stuff. Always wanted to do this.

Looks beautful and stock the truck

Ive had 3 of these trucks a 5.2 318 and 2 24v cummins including a parts truck and ive always loved them so much i still have my 01 24v and its pretty clean but not as clean as yours and its my project im planning on restoring the truck front to back and modify it on the way im hoping it will be making about 700 to the rear tires id really like to see you restore your truck kyle i love your videos and want to see this truck in its prime

If that was my truck I would do a 5.9 swap. I had a 95 regular cab short bed with the 5.9 automatic and 3:54 gears. It was quick and it towed and hauled with ease.

I love that truck I have a 2002 Dodge ram regular cab SLT

It is like my white '02 beat up,beautiful,reg cab,charcoal interior, and high miles. Mine is a magnum V8 that was rebuilt for $5k and we inherited it but from an old friend and also a long bed SLT and it takes $200 a week in gas and it also sounds a little close to yours but it just has that gas burning muscle truck sound and it was redone so now you cant hot wire it

My dad had an 02 a lot like this one. I miss it a lot :(

beautiful truck, I would swap the big old 8L V10. That huge motor in a truck that small would haul bud! Would love to see a future video of you doing that! V10's with low miles are cheap.

It’s a nice looking truck for the year

Thats a really nice Truck

Best looking pickups ever made imo

That truck is a keeper. Having to find a truck in that prestige condition, is hard to find now in days.

“It’s...I don’t now I’m weird I guess.” 😂 Classic moment. I know what you mean though.

Hi Kyle my name is Matthew i’ve been watching you since I was three years old my first video was from 2010 when I saw your first video I like your videos a lot and also you made me like Chris fix to I want to both of you guys every single day and when Chris fix. Did your 240sx decided to do that to my dad‘s car in and he was really impressed him buy the paintIt was a 2005 Toyota sequoia original paint now it looks brand new and I clean the tires and the wheels and I’m gonna wax in every single weekend you made my life change and the car then I’m gonna get for my first Car is a 2005 Civic Ex or a. 2011 Civic Si or 2000 Civic Si you made my life change and when I saw your very first video I was very excited to put a sound system in my car so I can make pieces fly everywhere 😂 thank you guys for changing my life now I’m a go back to watching videos

Nice rig, I wish trucks were cheaper around my area.

I really love this truck

Bring back the old school personal vehicles start ups

I honestly like that color on that truck

Reminds me of my 98 I had. But it was the 4wd version with the 318 v8 with the 5 speed manual. Really loved that truck but got into financial problems an had to sell it. 😔.. Hope to find another one someday that isn't beat an rusted out.

I would like it if you did old dealership start ups again!

I would love to see an update on the Denali!!

I agree the transmission is crazy acting and smooth selecting lol

Nice Ol' Truck. I hope you'll get the chance to do some additional older vehicles.

Get the transmission upgrade kit with new solenoids and overdrive spring.. easy to do with trans in, gives you the opportunity to tighten the bands. Bet your legs overdrive spring is broken. I’ll try and post link...

sorry for your loss

I would do a drain and refill on the transmission. That should be fine, but a flush yes I agree don’t do that because that pushes any friction material shavings into the small passages which ultimately leads to transmission failure. I believe those have transmission filters as well which you should also change as well

My Dad has a 1999 5.2L V8 and she has well over 200K miles on her. She still runs great and as you said there always seems to be something wrong with her.

Sounds to me like she needs: Better air intake New spark plugs (and check for black residue on old ones) Transmission flush New headlights And since you replaced the shocks, it means that it "rode on the springs" for a really long time, so check out the rest of the suspension components and bearings/seals.

Only three of those need to be done; the headlights can be cleaned with some Armor All headlight restoring agent.

Just bought a 98 with 139k 360ci with 321 gears in the back (5lug) 2wd 500$ got in a slight fender bender. Stripped down put in new radiator support she is good as new. Runs like a top. I’m starting to learn I’m very lucky
