Love the comparison. My 2018 Cummins is my 4th Ram but my first without a Hemi. I'm in love with the diesel. Still learning about them, but a channel like yours makes me less stressed. Keep up the great work....and thanks for your service.

Love my Fully delete 2014 ram..bone stock mega cab slt..no cursing..not a 17 year old kid cursing,rolling coal and weighs 60lbs soaking wet..Great video ..suscribed

6 in a row ready to tow need I say more! Great video 👍👍

I was an equipment mechanic for 2 years with Los Angeles City Fire Department when I started my career with the City in 2006(I've since transferred to road construction with the City). We had a huge fleet of 6.0L powerstroke van chassis ambulances and pickups. Oh how they sucked! You always had to lift the damn cab on the pickups to get anything done. The vans had better access because of that doghouse inside but it still sucked. I learned a lot there and I swore I'd never own a Ford. I also used to drive Ford 7.3 and early GM Duramax wreckers from 2000 to '06 and they were all good but nightmares to work on. LAFD has since switched over to Cummins powered Rams and so did the tow company I worked for. They really are that good. I'm proud to own one. They are not only easy to work on but also a joy to work on. Very satisfying. And they drive good too.

I need the rock lights for my 3rd gen. Awesome channel man.

Agreed and thanks for the content my guy.

I just bought a 2016 Mega Cab Laramie. I love it! My last truck was a 2003 Quad Cab with the 5.9l Cummins. I loved that truck too, but it didn’t have anywhere near the power that my “new” truck has.

That’s awesome that you have your dream truck. Good for you man 👍

Looking at buying a 4th gen Cummins. Im in Oklahoma too. This past week has been wild.

My first big truck was a 97 F250 extended cab long bed with a 460 mpg sucked. Traded on an 06 Dodge 2500 Cummins quad cab. Ended up going with the short bed cause I like the look but damn I miss the room. Had it for ten years was a damn good truck but I got the itch for a bigger one lol now I own a 2012 4 door long bed Laramie deleted with mini max on 35's and couldn't be happier

I miss my 3rd gen. It was an awesome rig. Another point with the Cummins trucks - only one of the big 3 to offer a manual trans up to 2018.

Man! I worked on planes as well (awacs E3) at Tinker from 09-15’. I couldn’t afford one while I was enlisted but now drive the same rig (2018 Ram 2500 Mega cab Laramie.) it’s still stock for now due to the fact I’m in California and, well... enough said lol. I’ve sub’d to your Chanel and debating on making one of my own to show the transformations as I make them. I’m still a newb to the diesel world, this is the first one I’ve owned and my knowledge on them is limited but I’m learning by watching Chanel’s like yours.

I’m not 100% sure on this, but I heard that the Ford & Chevy 6.7 have aluminum heads. That might be the reason for Ford’s head gasket problems. Aluminum doesn’t heat up the same as cast iron. That was the one problem with the 5.7 HEMI - I know because I had a 2004. Let me know if I’m wrong. Thanks for a great video. I have a 2015 RAM 2500 Mega cab 4 x 4 with the 6.7 Cummins - I wish that I had bought one way before I did. Great truck!

Very nice truck!

Enjoy listening to your thoughts on reliability because that is why I bought my 6.7 Cummins

BS Patrol thanks man i appreciate it.

While I’ve owned all platforms, I agree with most of what your saying. Currently own an 18 3500 Mega cab and an 05 F350 6.0. Blowing head gaskets on these trucks are a hit or miss. I’m a firm believer it’s all in how you treat the truck. I know plenty of people with these trucks on stock head bolts with 400k+ miles and it’s been the greatest trucks they’ve ever owned. Mine is also on stock head bolts with a KC stage 1, and tuning and it toss heavy. It’s also been one of the best and most reliable trucks I’ve ever owned. Take care of your stuff and it will certainly take care of you

Hey Erik I was thinking of getting my first diesel, it’s a 2013 mega cab Laramie longhorn with 100k miles and I’ve seen reviews saying the engine and transmission has issues and a bunch of other issues along with that, since you owned a 2013 diesel could you give me some first hand advice, thanks and keep up the great content

It’s crazy to say but i only had my 2013 for about 3k miles. I didn’t have a single problem with it. 2013-2018 are all the same in my opinion. In 2014 the suspension changed and i think the axles but the engine and transmission are the same. It should be a solid truckif the previous owners took care of it.

Cummins motors were also apparently designed for commercial heavy duty applications and we're dropped into medium duty pickups.

You like the dual shocks in the front?

@okc_garage

Жыл бұрын

It looked cool but i heard it rode better with just one shock from someone that had both setups.

If Dodge had an Allison or an Eaton transmission, it'd be the perfect truck. The 68RFE is the limiting factor on these trucks, but I hear the newer ones are much improved.

I bought the 3500 with the Aisin transmission (made in Japan) which is the heavy duty. The service interval is 35,000 so that will cost more. I rebuilt my 2nd gen 12 valve transmission 4 times so didn't want the Chrysler again. It was stiff, so I installed the Carli 3.25 commuter front springs with fox shocks, which leveled the truck. It rides better and still will haul 4100lbs. Problems have been small, but I did replace the turbo actuator myself at 72,000 miles and the plastic upper coolant Y fitting that leaked at 45,000 miles. Also, changed the drag link and tie rod to Synergy. I still own my 12v and love it but the exhaust brake is amazing in tow mode.

Can you tell me what the towing capacity is?

I have a 2012 Ram 2500HD HO Mega Cab 6.7L cummins. Best truck!!!!! We full-time RV.

You mentioned how long the truck is already and that a longbed megacab would be horrible to park. Park that Megacab next to a 4 door longbed. That longbed is about 6 inches longer than the megacab.

If it does it’ll be the 9 speed since that’s a true Allison, while Ford made the 10 speed for both themselves and GM but Chevy just brands it as an Allison. But it’ll more likely be the ZF Powerline 8 speed, which I think is probably a better transmission than the Allison

All the emissions, and computer crap? Neah best cummins powered rams were back in 12 valves, early 24 valves. Doing away with manual transmissions, egr system’s, more sensors than the space shuttle have made these trucks fragile
