Will it run? Rare 1991 Dodge Cummins 4x4 sitting for 25 years!
This here is a 1991 Dodge ram crew cab, Cummins, 5 speed, 4 wheel drive, which apparently is super hard to find. We picked it up from a farmer who parked it as soon as it dropped the rear driveline 25 years ago. Let’s see if we can get it running and make it move again!

That is the good old stuff. Just like old Cats etc. They can be sat for decades and light off immediately. Love the old stuff
That is one well loved truck! At least it isn't pure rust, Southern Ontario all you would find is the hood on a pile of rust! Lol

Haha, yea, even though pretty much every single body panel on this truck is dented, it’s surprisingly very rust free!
That a good truck

Nice find. That sounds like the 12 valve my stepdad had. You have a awesome opportunity on your hands
oh wiring your favorite :) and there is a sale on Coors light here in Wisconsin so I had to buy:)

We had a donor truck lined up to use for the body panels, but this truck already went to a new owner.
I would agree and say that something is rear but I would say that a rare one would be a six with a the five speed with the same package. Great evening and Fourth of July.

If you ever have the problem of it not shutting off there is a switch on the underside of injection pump you can pull it down I believe lol my 94 does it randomly but 12vs are the best

I found out later on that there is a lever on the fuel pump to shut it down, I ended up rigging a pull string into the cab to shut it down.
Super rare truck. Appears to be decent mileage, 138K? Was the farmer a demolition derby enthusiast? Only thing that doesn't seem to be dented is the roof. That Cummins was purring.

It was just sitting out in a field in eastern Washington, so I’m sure the dents are a combination of whiskey dents and farm equipment getting too close. I wish I would have shown it, but the motor had absolutely no blow by.

Definitely! Replace the main body panels other than the cab, and it would pretty much be good to go.
You have to push the clutch pedal for it to start also if you put 12 volts to the fuel shut off switch. fuel switch is on the injection pump. The engine will run on it's without any help as long as the fuel switch has power

They made tons of 5sp 4wd first gens. They never made a 4 door with a Cummins in any configuration tho. They are swapped all the time. But never were produced
U know what else is super rare? When I have solid shit in the mornin when I wake up
Definitely not a factory built truck. Crew cabs stopped in 85. Probably either a stretched 91 regular cab or it's a crew that has had a Cummins truck donor used to build it
its hard to do a will it run on a 12 valve because they always run
