videos are great guys! I'm big in the diesel world and still love watching these. I'm a 12 valve guy. my self so "send it" videos are great! I have a triple turbo set I built waiting to go on my driver now! keep up the good work!

Just found this channel a few days ago and I'm really enjoying the content! One of the coolest channels committed to diesels on youtube!

Hi Greg. I just recently just bought my first 3rd gen (2005) from Texas. I live North of Buffalo. Just recently came across your channel, just want to say how clear and concise you share knowledge. Great videos. My plans are a solid 500hp daily driver. Thumbs up!!

very interesting show you've created. can't wait to see where you end up. you're like a motor trend for diesel enthusiasts. much props

I've been binge watching your channel the last week. you've officially become my new favorite channel! you're doing an awesome job!

love the diesel idle in the intro. its eargasmic

Great vid! When i watched my first vid off your channel last night, I was shocked that you only had like 20k subscribers.. Great quality and information, keep em coming!

First thing I look for when buying a diesel: stickers. If someone has a big Cummins sticker on their truck, 99% of the time you can assume they probably have beaten the shit out of that truck. You don't see old dudes rockin' the Cummins stickers, it's usually the young kids who love to roll coal and beat on their trucks. Ill be looking on craigslist and if I see a truck that catches my eye and I click on it and see that it has a cummins sticker on the back window or pretty much anywhere, it's safe to assume that person probably romped on it and didn't take care of the motor too well and I skip it. Obviously unless it's a really good deal, should be very cautious about trucks with even just a basic Cummins sticker in my opinion

Thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If someone has a Cummins sticker it probably means they like their truck. People who like their trucks take care of them.

Plenty of clean trucks out there with no stickers that have been romped on. And plenty of trucks with Cummins stickers that have been babied. Point is you never know what your buying when you buy used, you have to assume a certain degree of risk. And saying looking for a sticker can eliminate that risk is pure ignorance.

Just the video I've been looking for been watching for the last month. Love the videos I'm currently looking at getting rid of my 2013 1500 sport and getting an 06-07 mega cab 4x4 with a manual trans and this was the perfect video. Also glad to know I'm not the only one willing to fly anywhere to snag the truck I want.

Congrats on 20k Greg! Btw awesome vid, being someone who's interested in getting a diesel truck in the future this was all super helpful to know. Keep up the awesome work man!

Love the channel bud. Great videos, perfect to have running in the background while I'm tinkering on the ol' Ford in the garage.

I bought my truck form north Carolina as well. drove 5 hours 2 days after Hurricane Matthew hit va and nc. houses and streets still under water. paid 12k 2nd owner. 225k worth it!!! but stop wat I'm doing to watch the videos. dig what yall do. "tech episodes" are damn helpful. thanks for what yall do

Yes i needed this! Thanks man, looking to get another diesel truck soon! JESSE back boyyyy!

very informative. saving this video for when I buy my next truck. currently in a 2011 6.7 powerstroke. came from a 96 12v 3500 4x4.

once again great job....every single one has been informative..I know its a ton of work,just want u to know its appreciated..thanks

Frank Delvecchio I agree completely! I almost got screwed on a deal when I saw this.

Dude you're blowing up this is a badass diesel channel

I'm new to the channel but definitely enjoying going through all the videos and hope y'all have a great time at UCC! My '06 is coming up on 200k miles and I plan to run through all the maintenance things that I can do (even the ones that aren't quite due yet) like trans/diff fluids, injectors etc. It'd be great to see y'all work in some maintanence tips or checklists for a really all-encompassing service.

Just stumbled on your channel fumbling through mega vids and I am digging it! Awesome content keep it up!!

Thanks to you guys I have made up my mind that I am going to get myself another 4th gen when all my debt is paid off. I still miss my old one and you guys are making me fall in love with them all over.

thanks for the vids I just bought my first 3rd gen I picked up a 06 mega cab with the 5.9 I'm used to owning 2nd Gen 12 valves so I'm excited to see what I can do with this truck learning a lot from yalls videos

I'm a "gas" guy, 86 Ram with a 440, F150, 2 Hellcats, etc... But I find diesel fascinating. 🤔 Good video. The guy in the background is hilarious. 😄

I like your input! I really like that you guys went under the truck to point to what to look for, this is really useful stuff for a new buyer like me. Thank you! I am contemplating transitioning to a diesel truck and before jumping into a 40K deal, I am leaning more towards a used cheaper truck. The only thing is that the video was too long (7 minute intro) before starting talking about the check points and real quick after that, went to cosmetic stuff. Not trolling, just my take! Thank you for all the good points.

definitely a pleasure to watch you guys

Your channel is one of my favorite channels by far

Saweet edits and music. Love the vids greg. Inspired me to go with a cleaner look for my truck actually love the street truck look

Thanks for the info on visible issues with buying a new truck. I have been cleaning the underside of my truck so I can see if there is an issue, and two of the locations you mentioned have that grease/dirt grime on there just like Jesse's truck. I am new to wrenching, so I didn't know if I needed to fix anything or not. Thanks!

So glad I stumbled upon this channel last night. Keep up the good work fellas.

what an awesome channel! just came accross is while looking for jeeps with diesel conversions LOL I am from Jersey also glad to have found your channel, subbed!

look forward to the vids everyday. always great content keep it up. do you think you might get another​ project truck? first or second Gen or something

I bought a 100% stock 2007 dodge 2500 5.9 Cummins 4 door 4x4 with 185k miles on it here in Texas. No rust truck ran great and three months in my tranny went out haha. $2500 later shes running like a champ got it rebuilt and had a shift kit and dual disc torque converter put in. now after i finish paying off my tranny ill start my work on it with Exhasut, Intake, etc.

good job on the vids man, love all the trucks on the channel too.

Love your channel.once again great job....Another great video guys!

I've been following you for a while now on IG. Decided to hop on over here to KZread. Love the videos brother! Tell JohnnySendit I'm his #1 fan, that truck is sick lol🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

Sledding's fun, love ridding my sled when we get snow here in PA, once every couple years hahah.

Your channel along with the other few Cummins channels are freak'n blowing up... its crazy

Thanks for the Vids guys! I was stuck between my Duramax and a megacab like Jesse's, you guys make me almost wish i could go back and get the megacab instead. Anyways keep it up, your Vids are entertaining!

I love the comments about the screw holes in the dash!! You guys are funny as shit.

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy a 06 2500 w/ 45000 miles on it but I didn't know what to look for and this video help a lot.

I love that Jesse smashes his hand on the door frame and tries to play it of like it didn't hurt, but keeps checking it out

Yall are super entertaining and wealth of knowledge. keep it up.

This video couldn't have been made at a more perfect time! looking at a mega cab and a 4 door both low miles and stock, and it will be my first diesel truck!

this channel deserves so many more subscribers!

I love how you guys don't lift your trucks like crazy. they all look so clean and neat. 👌

More Jonny Send It 12v videos. Dudes hilarious.

I've painted several of my vehicles and my wife's car several times over the last 6 years. About once every 1.5 -2 years i change the color of my wife's car. If you take care of plasti dip and use things like dip coat protective spray then it wont stain nearly as much. Its like wax for normal paint. If you do about 6 coats or more then the rock chips wont effect it as much. They have a specific dissolver that you can use to repair cuts, rips and torn sections.

Just throwing it out there for you guys there is a non advertised recall on the steering for the 3rd gens. It takes your tie rod assembly to a solid assembly from left to right not the split tie rod on the mega cab. It keeps them from wanting to chevy under hard 4x4 acceleration

17:05 don't let your girl hear that 😂 good videos man badass trucks

Hey man love the videos. You deserve waaay more subs haha.

Second time I’ve watched this vid but notice no boost hurts his hand 30 seconds into the vid lmao love that guy

Keep the vids coming dont give up man good work

Your music selection is dope. The truck is gorgeous too.

Your drone footage is getting better! Sweet shots!

Greg What are your thoughts on the Eco Diesel. I have a 2015 Ram 1500. Of course nothing like the Cummins but still a nice little diesel. Wondering if you guys thought about reviewing one?

Another thing I always do when looking at a new Cummins or realy any other diesel is when you pull out the dip stick to check the oil, smell the oil and see if it smells like diesel or not.

Sup Greg A been watching a lot of your videos and there awesome keep up the great work! love watching them I have a 2009 ram 3500 with 125k and love the truck I have been looking at getting my GF a truck and have been looking at 06-09 I have heard horror stories about the 48re specially with high mileage from your experience with your 05 if it was ever stock could you compare it to a 68rfe with high miles thanks for any advice in advance and shout out from the 732

Hey, I love your videos! Anyway, when buying a used diesel, what are the main things to look for? Thanks!

I bought my 03 from Texas. Forgot to check the seat electronics and the interior vent system, both had issues and not cheap to fix. You can also pull OBD codes by turning the ignition (without starting) on, off, on, off, on. This will display any codes on the dash - mine had a injector one short/open but I've had no noticeable issues with the truck...

watched most of your video and now have been torn between 6speed cummins and 6speed duramax could you help me way pros and cons (not asking for video on it) maybe in your next q/a video thanks keep up the awsome videos!!!!!!

I fricking hate diesel but love the channel... Best channel on KZread!

ha.. i have the same black snapon box.. just mine has side cabinet and hutch.. nice!!

It depends from engine to engine on blowby tolerances. It matters much more on a cummins than a duramax and powerstroke engines, since they are much more dependent on compression. Less is better on all trucks, but v8 diesel engines seem to run longer when they develop high amounts of blowby. A cummins with bad blowby will usually have starting problems and seems to degrade faster.

for plasti dip thats super clean honestly

just wonderin 12v vs 24v pros and cons. 5.9 vs 6.7 cummins. p pumps vs common rail. anything really u might give some advice best cummins for the money that u want as an everyday driver w some power. 500-600 hp 1000 tq. i wnt somethn reliable i can drive everyday, pull boat, tractor, drag car, and embarrass ss and srts.

love the channel you guys are awesome and very knowledgeable now I do have a question don't know if you guys have even done a fummins. or not but I'm looking to do a 12 valve swap into my powerstroke in the near future do you have any tips or beware I should be aware of

Hey Greg just wanted to say thanks for all the great content! Also have a question about oil/coolant temps. I have a '17 ram 2500 6.7 cummins and a '05 ford F350 6.0 powerstroke, i know with my powerstroke the coolant/oil temps should always be within 10'F of each other. Should i be as concerned of those temps being close as i am with the powerstroke? Thanks

hey! love your stuff, i currently have a duramax, but am interested in switching to Cummins, could you give a run down on the different generations and common problems that you know of. Particularly, the 3rd gen is what i would be most interested. like my Lb7 is known for injector problems. I definitely think you have the best diesel page on KZread!

If I’m looking for a truck daily driving and road trips with the family, possibly some towing in the not to distant future is diesel the best route for me? Or should I just get the 6.4 Hemi?

You need to video some of the bachelor party..kinda give us some insight to the personal life of you guys!

Warden yes I've seen a 2004 cummins 2500 at dealer from Oregon and it looked like a brand new truck.

Thank you! I'm buying my first diesel as a young widow. My Sexy Beast of a hubby Ben took care of our diesel and I keep stressing as I learn. Your video has helped me feel more confident. Also, what would the sensation of the rocker arms actually feel like if they're good? ~Honey

hey if you guys need a 6.7 head you can have it. blew the head gasket in the truck and the head is cracked. so i had a CPP head installed. i have no use for it but maybe you guys do! im sure the head can be welded.

*New Cummins owner here too well not really new new, i bought mine in October. got the tow mirrors too, round here we call the tow mirrors "truck muscles" lol what kind of deletes could i get by with in an area that they emissions test still (middle TN area) OOOH i like those wheels on that mega cab, in process of upgrading my driving lights and just upgraded my headlights, tail lights, 3rd brake light and interior cab lighting and cab marker lights to LED. Now i have to add the resistors because i have the hyper flash problem happening. I also upgraded my headlight housing to the same lights that are on this one with the black background. but i'm thinking about swapping them again to the ones i have linked to below because they just look so bad ass.(link below) I see Jessie still has his grid heater, that was the first thing that was throwing a code on mine and everyone on the cummins forums told me to delete that saying i don't need it unless it's like -20 degrees or something. i bought a new one from Thorobred Diesel for $118.00 (dealer wanted $470.00 for the same thing) and KEYS are cheapest and programable from pretty much ANY lock smith. mine charged me $50.00 for two programmed keys that he provided, cut and programmed to my truck. My truck is an un-molested tennessee truck reposessed from a guy in East TN no tune ever, I don't know when or if my truck has ever had injectors done. mine has 174,000 on it and seems to run strong. the steering wheel isn't destroyed mine is kind of dirty but i just don't think it was ever cleaned well. I do love how the mega cab has enough room in it that you could put a full size mattress back there with the back seat laid flat though. that impressed me. also should the truck take a long time to idle back down when you get out of the throttle? that's something mine does and it just puzzels me. I'm new to diesel so all of this is a learning experience* www.ebay.com/itm/Black-2006-2008-Dodge-Ram-1500-2500-3500-LED-Tube-Projector-Headlights-Headlamps/382479358732

So I was wondering your thoughts on exhaust brands I have a 03 short bed quad cab. Having trouble picking one. So far it's bone stock. Thanks

YES snowmobiles!!! Ski-Doo for life!!!

Such a nice truck.

Hey man what’s jesses wheel and tire setup? 22x12 but tire size? And does it rub? I just reverse leveled my truck now I’m wanting to run 12 wides. I will be purchasing longer control arms as well to try and get it not to rub just wanna get the tire size correct! Thanks man for the info!

If it's possible you could show us what's good blow by and bad blow by I got the oil cap test but like the blow by that don't raise the cap? Would still be bad or good??

there is a test you can do for 12v by taking 1/4" clear tubing and water. you stick the tubing over the dipstick hole and at certain rpms you'll measure how far up the water has gone and that way you have numbers

What about the crankcase breather hose that goes to the bottom. I did the valve cap upside down and it doesn't move. barely any vapor visible. but underneath I can smell it when it idles and I can see more vapor?

When the dude in the back kept checking his hand after hitting the top of the door frame made me loled so hard
