Nice to see a successful person not flaunting a mint and macked out truck. Always appreciated Mike's humility. God bless brother!

I’m a Cummins owner. Most powerful and easy truck to work on I’ve ever had.

[UnRuLyGoAT]

Would love to see more of this truck as you build it out!

I have a 2500 '04, so love that you're doing an older Cummins! My biggest improvements have been to address the Gen 3 Ram weaknessess: unreliable diesel fuel pump, poorly engineered front end that leads to the "death wobble", and the front wheel unit bearings. So: FASS Titanium fuel pump, upgraded front end with steering brace, Carli track bar, Bilstein shocks & steering stabilizer, then the best move was a Spyntec free hub kit. Just did the injectors and exhaust system. 215k miles & hoping for many more years. Hauls great but I will say is poor offroad due to the front end weight, size, and low differentials. Can't wait to see what you do with yours.

I am so excited about this build. I have my dad’s last truck a 2001 dodge 2500 5.9 4x4. It has the same color scheme as yours sun burnt red😂
He bought it brand new and now it’s just over 100k miles . I love my dad’s truck and honored to drive it . He worked hard . Served his country well and when I drive it I think of him . Cant wait to see you build yours out and glean some insight and ideas . Press On!

Change the fuel pump and when you change the brakes, use Mopar pads. Coming from someone that Purchased a 1999 2500 4x4 new and a 2005 3500 dually 4x4 new prior to getting my current 2017 3500 dually. Never had engine or trans issues out of either earlier model truck. Both needed a fuel pump and front hub bearings by 150k miles. My 1999 was harsh on brake pads, once a mechanic friend told me to use nothing but mopar pads, no more brake issues.

So stoked for all the overlanding and mobile adventuring content. Building out a 92 Jeep XJ for this exact reason. Keep it coming!

[christopher]

I appreciate your humor. If no one else does. I do.

Mike, I'd take the Dodge 24v Cummins every day over the Jeep gladiator.

[joshuareynolds]

I love my older dodges. Had a 12 valve I should’ve never got rid of but please don’t advocate for people towing 20k lbs with that. Can it do it. Absolutely. Is it legal. Not at all. Have to check the numbers but pretty sure that’s roughly 5-6k over what it’s rated for. Just the legality of things. If there was an accident and someone is towing over what it’s rated for probably wouldn’t be good legally. Love the content keep up the hard work

[OutdoorCanadians]

I wouldn’t say “people who are on a budget” I would just say practical people who don’t want to finance 1/3 of a house on their least used tool 🤷‍♂️

[JesseKaufmann-kuug]

I have a 94 12 valve and a 02 24 valve! Can't beat em! Great truck Mike! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[KeystoneOutdoorsman]

Love the truck. I have a '91 12 valve 4x4 for my SHTF rig

[Bluegrassshooting]

Nice to see the humility and see that regular people can be prepared and still have the capabilities to enjoy the outdoors. With this current administration I feel there will be a lot more trucks like that. Thank you sir.

[JoseMorales-visj]

Mike, All great ideas, however you need to install a mobile communication setup, Ham Radio, CB, GMRS to keep in touch with the home base.

[j.r.palehorse]

2018 cummins 2500 deleted, straight pipe, cold air intake, spare 60 gal tank, ranch hand Bambi killer, mickey Thompson bought it 70k miles, still going 250k. Dose everything we need in the rockies

[connorbaz]

I got a '97 12 Valve Dodge Ram "3000" that takes the cake over anything ive owned to date.

100% going to get another 12v ASAP. Probably a '98 3500 this time.

[PreparedOverlander]

Mike, I have a 2004 Dodge 1500 4x4 that I gave to my dad to use. One very important thing to look at is the 4x4 lever linkage that connects the manual lever to the transfer case. There is a known issue where the rubber grommet rots and the linkage falls off. It has done that to my 1500 3 times in the 11 years I have owned it. There are videos on how to make a linage that wont fall off. I would say that is a very important upgrade in the near future so you dont get stuck expecting to have four wheel drive and you dont.

[biigamg]

Been waiting for this one for inspiration on my 2001 3500 6spd 4x4.

‘95 Ram Cummins Turbo owner here. 5 speed. 136K. Flatbed. It’s epic…I get stopped a lot and asked how much.
