Yeah man, it's no doubt these trucks are getting harder to find. Only 5 years made with a diesel and the youngest one are almost 30! The holy grails are turning into unicorns. You only hear of them... never see them. Truck looks good by the way.

Later half of 91 was intercooled early half was not intercooled...also the vin tag is mounted to the dash, not the firewall, so that should stay with the cab .. here in Nebraska they need to do an inspection for all out of state vehicles and if that vin is missing or wrong then the title is worthless and they could destroy the vehicle because of it...

The vin is on 3 places. The dash, the drivers side door well, and the firewall by the passenger side wiper cowl. It’s a metal vin tag riveted on

My son has the exact same hat. 😂 He practically sleeps in that hat. He and I are rebuilding this old ramcharger that was Non IC 1st gen swapped way back in the day.

No, no, no. When I bought my 1990 1st Gen over a decade ago, it actually had a factory-fit Banks intercooler installed! Even Banks forgot that they made them back then. The pipe was 2.5 inch, with the internally squared intake horn facing forward. I modernized the piping with a Pusher 3" 1994-1998 intake horn (Had to modify the throttle bracket with a semi-circular cut from a machine shop), along with 3" pipe, 2.5" to 3" couplers, and a silicone 2" turbo to 3 inch 90 degree elbow. I left the original Banks intercooler in it because there was nothing actually wrong with it and ... It's Banks.

Thank you brother! You got a 1st gen?

Intercoolers don’t cool off a motor. They increase the air density to the intake. Are you just making stuff up as you go ? Lol

@keeprtuned

Жыл бұрын

You are right that the intercooler increases the density and how that happens is from hot air flowing through the intercooler and the air then cools down. Cooler air is more dense and therefore allows more air to be fired in each cylinder. Since the air is cooled off by the intercooler it helps to lower egt’s. Welcome to the channel

I just inherited a 92 12-valve automatic le with only 92500 miles from my grandfather thank you for the video

I’m looking at one for 1500. It’s pretty beat though and been sitting.

Does the shifter knob twist off? Looking at changing mine and saw yours was changed.

8 ай бұрын

Yeah man. Use a wrench on the nut right below it if it’s a factory handle and she’ll twist off. If it’s an aftermarket one it might just twist without a nut there at the bottom

89 and 90 only!!!!! They are incredibly easy to install intercooler, 3gen cooling system works great and they are by far the best looking! Chrysler messed up the look on 91 to 93s

The market for that here would be 1500
