May your new child bring you many blessings.

I love how Malachi just comes over bouncing around in the beginning of the video ha ha. Great video Reagan! Keep it up 👍

The 53 on the block is also cast on the driver's side under the injection pump, right behind the timing case and above the oil pan

It can also be located on the passenger side in roughly the same location.

I spent $2,200 on my 94 GMC dually with the 6.5 Detroit and body is good outside of bad cab corners and a bad exhaust but the truck itself is solid good frame everything. I live in Illinois but it used to be in the south before I bought it. Super happy with my truck :) I'd love to see y'all build a 6.5 or 6.2 Detroit

Great vid and thanks so much for all the tips I'm new to buying these trucks love 2nd gens just never knew what to look for this was very helpful 👍👍👍

That's some great information you guy shared about the 2 gen Cummins keep up with the good work 👐

I know this video is 3 months old but wow I just learned a lot to look for on these trucks considering I’m buying one soon. I knew some stuff but not all this

Another issue I’ve heard of with the 12valves is the killer dowel pin, but I’m pretty sure that was more of an issue in the 1st gens. Oh also if you go to look at a second gen and it has a cracked dash then don’t worry about it because ALL second gens have a broken dash. My friend has two of these trucks, the Cummins has a dash cover to cover the crack, and his 318 V8 has a dash delete as in he beat the cracked dash out with his hand.

Wow dude thanks for the info I’m going to check all these things when I buy my Cummins I’ve been saving my money to long for it to be wasted on a bad truck

I just bought one the other day then saw this video ran out to check everything. Luckily I'm good. Great info man I also forgot about the 53 block when I looked at it thanks for the reminder

12valve is the boss...deleted fuel heater, fss, muffler and cat, installed starter switch and fuel pressure guage and tcc lockup switch, tabbed kdp, adjustable boost elbow and overflow valve on the p-pump.

Congratulations on the baby🥳 my son was recently born on September 1st. It’s hard to find a good 2nd gen I’m still debating 2nd gen or 3rd gen. Clean truck though 👍🏻

thanks for the tips on the frame. Looking to buy one soon and will definitely check it out

Thanks for the good educational video, will defiantly be looking at these things in my future buys. 🤟

I always wanted to put on the first like and this time I did!!!!😁 Love you Reagan 😍 ❤

Congrats on the baby I’m looking at a 97 ext cab 4wd 150,000 miles for $2500 just waiting on taxes

Thanks for the tips guys !! Stay blessed!!

Awesome you guys are great! I enjoy watching both of you guys videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thx for the info I have a 99 Cummins 4x4 dually 360k and runs as new.

Thanks for the walk around and what to look out for on somethings 👍🇺🇸👊

This is great video . Just sucks cause these 2nd gens are no less than 15k here in Cali . Hahah! Congrats on the baby !

2:25 😂 made my day

I recenlty purchased a 98 Ram 2500 V10 SLT Clubcab. 118k miles. Had to get a steering stabilizer and upgraded steering box.

Remember guys 2nd gens a lot of the time have cracked dashes, it’s normal! Just use a dash cover and to have the dash last longer get a sun dash visor. Not as hard on the dash

Lucky for me I’m working for my grandpa to get a truck when I’m 16 and it’s his old 2nd gen dodge he has used it has a snowplow so anything that damaged or broke he replaced it so it’s basically new

How many miles and what did he sell you it for

Damn that black beauty is mint!! How do you’s like the venoms?? I have nittos on my 09, but was thinking to switch to venoms this time since I need new tires .

I have a 53 block and I don't have any issues

fill those spots in the frame that are notorious for rusting with oil

You do a video saying what to look for but your best friend bought a 2nd gen with a bad trans. Y'all are funny.

Thanks for the info 😊

Popopopopopop pop up and down headlights!

Thinks,Great video.GOD BLESS Y'ALL

Best dodge trucks they ever made parts are easy to find and easy to work on a lot of power workhorses great trucks!

May god bless you and your family. Sending prayers to you when needed! Love y’all and y’all’s content!

Don't forget the killer dowel pin

I'm a sucker for first gen dodge do u plan on doing on

These videos are going to save my life, watch

Heres my bigest question are you going to keep the good content

great video the only thing id say is i wouldnt stop from buying a truck just over the 53 block ive seen plenty of 53's go 300,000 miles true they arent the best blocks but like you said if your not gonna be 16 with the truck then yeah id definitely watch out for it... but otherwise they are fine. good vid though you guys are doing great :)

My 53block has 550k on it now with no issues most miles are towing. Kinda seems to be hit or miss on them.

@michaelchristopher9444

Pretty much if it hasn't failed after 150k miles it's good. Most 53 blocks if they're gonna fail, fail early on. I've never heard or seen a 53 block that has failed with high mileage.

Hope to win the DB build malachi is giving away but wifey is wanting Balck Beuty 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I think the 53 blocks from Brazil are the bad one there are 53 blocks out of Mexico that are good but they are prone to crack in the water jacket at any amount of miles there's people that didn't crack until over 400k but it is something to shy away from good video by the way 👍👍👍👍👍👍✌

Got 550k on my 53block with zero issues hit or miss on them it seems

Thank you👍🏽

So is 12v better than 24v ? Or 24v is better but just not a 53 block ?

Great video I am the guy with 6 to 10,000 to spend big help congratulations on the baby

Any way to repair the front frame rot ?? Or is it a lost cause

Are 53 blocks a complete deal breaker? Found one with 111,XXX miles, nice looking truck

Where did you guys buy the Visor with lights on top of the truck?

#TeamRosine24v dayyuum Black Beauty is lookin gorgeous! ❤️🤤

where did you get the visor that hangs over the front of the winshield

I'll tell you what to look for ...RUST! Dodge trucks have been rust buckets for a long time. From the 70's versions right up until 2010 when RAM took over they finally got it figured out. I know from experience I have had them all and they were ALL rust buckets....

What wheel spec is this?? I love it

The single mud flap tho

Where did u get the window visor?

I heard that 53 blocks aren’t just prone to cracking, it’s more like when it cracks, and they crack where the cooling passages are because they were caste with thinner walls

Got a 53 block with over 500,000 miles and has a iQuad for over 160k if the motor made it to 200k it’s fine unless you’re doing something actually stupid

So does most of this rust just happen because you live up north or maybe near salt water? I’m near college station and feel like these may not be issues for us
