1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L (318 ci) V8 straight piped (no cats) sound accelerating and regular driving

[TheMrgreat39]

Sweet truck man!!!! This thing reminds me of my dad's old 1998 dodge Dakota it was a stick as well and it also had no tachometer, but I have one question, What does that yellow light that comes up at 0:09 mean??? I used to see that in my Dad's truck as well

[occupant272]

I love this sound. Too bad my wife won't let me take a hacksaw to her Durango's exhaust. By the way kids, you really only need a clutch to take off from under like 10mph. Otherwise, rev match it. Hey, TheTerminator310's dad shown here can do it without a tachometer, like a boss, so what's YOUR excuse?!!

[KidCrazy86]

How are u switching gears without the clutch in?! Wtf

[TheTerminator310]

@KidCrazy86 The engine has to be turning the same speed as the transmission. That's why you have to use the technique called "rev-matching". When the transmission is turning the same speed as the engine the gears will click into each other, but if one is spinning faster than the other it will grind. Pretty simple.

[skyguykillsdanny]

@hickasshit58 that exactly what i was thinkin

[ramrambang]

is this juat a piece of pipe in place of where the muffler used to be?

[Dodge2500Ram]

i had a straight pipe that dumped rite under the cab like that on my '95 318, it was just to loud. I would of kept it but all the cops in my town and all surrounding towns are out to get me cuz of shit thats happened between me and them these past few years lol. They stop me just for the fuck of it when they see me.

[Hickasshit58]

holy shit there's a clutch there haha.Can't find em grind em

[Flowmaster40Series]

Nice floating them gears!!!!

[MultiBamf69]

To anyone wondering what to do with your O2 sensors! On dodge trucks they are not sensitive enough to throw a code for too much oxygen...So take them and zip tie em to ur frame and she'll be reading more oxygen than ever.

[lpbulldogs1]

i got a 97 with straight pipe can here it coming from a mile away but mine u gotta use the clutch cuz its wore out it has 290 thousand on it all original

[lpbulldogs1]

i got a 97 with straight pipe can here it coming from a mile away

[brettkemp7]

What did you do with the o2 sensors? Did you just cut em off or put them Somewhere else?

[brettkemp7]

That's exactly the same as my truck, check it out. The only video I have lol

[Ghplayer2]

i have a 98 ram 2500, 5 speed, loving how you dont use the clutch to shift

[bondohana1]

awesome

[cippaa6969]

I just bought a 98 Ram 1500 5speed!! Love your Vid + no clutch Priceless 9/30/2011

[MrHondaatc125m]

no clutch=boss

[400exrider92]

Can I have your tranny I need one for my 5 speed swap lol

[TheTerminator310]

@400exrider92 No. Sorry, lol. Done sold the truck about 2 months ago.

[snoop6604]

makes me REALLY wish my truck was a 5 speed..

[Branonjohn]

i have the same truck. is it bad to use it with the cadalitic converter off

[TheTerminator310]

@Branonjohn Are you talking about power-wise, or what?

[9DodgeFan]

I always thought it was strange when they make stick shift vehicles without a tach. At least your truck makes it pretty easy to play it by ear!

[TheTerminator310]

@9DodgeFan lol yeah, man. I agree. I thought it was retarded not having a tach in this truck. When my Dad got this truck I looked and was like: "Where in the world is the tach???", haha, I have no idea why they didn't put one in. I wish it had one.

[SneakyBastrd59]

sounds alot like mine, cept i have the 5.9 360

[TheTerminator310]

@SneakyBastrd59 Pretty much the same engine.

[danraich]

Are you shifting without the clutch durring the regular driving part? Sounds pretty good.

[TheTerminator310]

@danraich Yes, he was. He does that all the time, haha. I hardly ever see him use the clutch.

[spyingkibbles]

any lift?

[TheTerminator310]

@spyingkibbles No sir. Truck is completely stock except for a little bit of an oversized tire. Stock tire size was 225/60/R16 and right now it has 265/70/R16s.

[hondaracin338]

at least hell never have transmision issues lol. damn dodge autos

[TheTerminator310]

@hondaracin338 Damn straight, lol. Dodge autos are awful.

[itsoundzgood]

@TheTerminator310 I have a 96 ram with the 318 and a 4-speed auto, and I haven't ever had any problems with mine. I hear most of the autos are pretty shitty though

[TheTerminator310]

@itsoundzgood Well, yeah. The majority of them are. Some of them I have heard got pretty good service, but not many. I got a friend that had a '03 Dodge Ram HEMI that he uses on occasions to haul trailers and mostly just drives it to work. Has a 200,000 and some odd miles on it and the trans has been replaced 2 or 3 times.

[dangerdakota]

I fuckin feel for his sycros, heres not clutching that poor truck

[TheTerminator310]

@dangerdakota If it hurts the syncros so badly, then why the hell has he been shifting trucks like this for so long and never had any problems out of any maual transmission, ever?

[asoid101]

dang thts weird...i have the exact same truck and exact same head unit lol sounds good tho man...lookin to get mine str8 piped soon

[TheTerminator310]

@asoid101 Haha, that's funny. Yeah man, they sound good straight piped. Unbeatable trucks too, I tell you what.

[asoid101]

@TheTerminator310 hell yea lol id rather keep it old school sticks then these new trucks they have....there nice and all but i prefer old autos....the only prob is the gas and thts minor.....so u did u jus cut the muffler off or did u get a y pipe or something small like tht coming out the back?

[TheTerminator310]

@asoid101 It just ended up underneath the truck. It used to have a performance exhaust system on it, but the pipes and muffler rusted out, so my Brother (previous owner) cut that off and then the catalytic converter stopped up and he had it gutted and put back on. In this video, it ended right behind the cab up underneath and when my Dad got it, he soon realized that it was too loud. So he found a stock exhaust system laying out in a junkyard and put that on it.

[biglinc1]

nice truck!! like that sound of the exhaust....

[TheTerminator310]

@biglinc1 Haha, thanks. It sounded good, but was too loud inside. Gave me and my Dad both a headache when driving it. The exhaust just ended underneath the truck right behind the cab, so we just put stock pipes and muffler back on it. It's standable now, haha.

[biglinc1]

@TheTerminator310 bet it would wake up the neighborhood with pipes like that... haha Its always fun to make a little noise once in a while though!!!

[TheTerminator310]

@biglinc1 Haha, no doubt. Loved the looks from people when we stepped on it, haha.

[SockBilly]

he wasnt even using the clutch haha

[TheTerminator310]

@SockBilly Yeah, I know. It really saves your clutch to use it as little as possible.

[SockBilly]

@TheTerminator310 haha yeah my dad used to do the same thing in his 03 cummins

[SoCoMx309]

@TheTerminator310 yeah but really fucks the shit outa your tranny too.

[TheTerminator310]

@SoCoMx309 Look, my Dad comes from a long line of truck drivers from over 50 years back. I think we know what tears the trans up and what doesn't. My Dad has been shifting big rigs like this for 35 years and nothing has happened. Trying to shift down without the clutch would hurt it, but it won't shifting up as long as you know what you're doing.

[ohforfacksakes]

@TheTerminator310 even shifting down wont if you're good at it. my dad drove trucks in the past and likes to shift without the clutch also.

[TheTerminator310]

@ohforfacksakes Yeah, you just gotta rev match.

[ohforfacksakes]

@TheTerminator310 yeah i tried it a couple times but always fuck up lol

[TheTerminator310]

@ohforfacksakes lol, yeah. It's not always easy to do. Sometimes it'll just grind on you.
