Finally!!! everyone always asks me how I kept from being broke down on the side of the road, and I tell them PD Diesel Power, thanks for the heads up and for always keeping us up to date.

Thank you Paul for taking the time and sharing the costly knowledge on these trucks very valuable and appreciated!

Great video! I started dealing a lot with campers 2 years ago and its time to upgrade trucks. I located 2019 loaded out with 53000 miles and wanted a good review on it. Ive watched a few of your videos now. TY! New Subscriber

I have the only freightliner in the companies fleet of 7 trucks that hasn’t had an emissions related issue. I give this truck hell Monday-Friday and only fill def when it’s gauge says empty. I’ve had no issues with pump def or jug. This trucks got a Detroit diesel, I argued like hell to keep my cummins when the trucks were being replaced, im pleasantly surprised at how well it’s holding up.

2021 with problems at 6k. Aero turbine makes a good muffler. Warranty is useless when you’re stranded… and when the dealer gets the truck it could sit for months waiting for a part.

22’ 2500 6.7. They delivered it with 250 kilometres on it. Next day had to miss work to get the DEF pump replaced. 65000 kms later and its been in 5 times for DEF. Limp mode warning etc. No other mechanical issues. Thats my biggest PIA with this truck. Either than that, i love this truck!

As a Chrysler dealer tech, emissions is definitely the most common issue’s. The 19 and 20 now with the y78 injection pump recall.

In some cases what I found to work on these trucks with Def is not to allow the Def fluid to under a half a tank and its true every chance you get turn the truck off from idling

Love my 18 2500 Laramie just rock solid I’ve got about 25k on it but just dependable got to love the 4th gens.

Keep it till they fix this mess .

my 21' 2500 Laramie had a def issue in Feb. Ice build up caused the limp mode light to come on.

My company got 8 2022 chevy 5500 lcf with the 5.2 diesel. 6 of them have pulled check engine lights with the emissions warning on it. Limp mode full 9 yards. All under 5k miles. There has been no change in how we treat the trucks from the previous ones and it has made our delivery service take a lot longer.

How are you liking the mega cab over your cclb? I can’t decide between the two.

Nice "stock" intake elbow lol. Ever thought about doing that to any of your trucks in the fleet?

I sure do wish ram would get there shit together

Is there a particular brand or type of ball joint you use to replace the old?

Might try looking at dynatrac and other axle companies to see if they make any heavy duty ball joints for those trucks.

Things I learn wait till the def lights almost on buy def in a jug with a high diesel turn over done let your truck sit and tow with it and never ever put the lid on the def jug after it’s open and store it in your truck to top up the def later . The epa is messing up everything

I have a 2018 Ram mega cab and it's all over the place driving it and it only has less than 7000 miles on it (yes 7k). At first, since I'm getting up there in years it might be me and that might be some of it. I drive my wife's car the other day and it and I was great.

Update, on my 20. Oil level high after 2k miles since the change. Worried about fuel dilution, it was about 2 quarts high. I did have to idle for 4 hrs or so hoping it was an issue with regen and not bad injectors. Gonna monitor it I’ll come back with an update. Job and hearing also replaced at 85k

Good Lord, that’s all concerning. 😐 I wonder if the after treatment is getting overburdened by the factory tune that makes more power? on second thought that would not affect the problem occurring at idle? Thank you for the video.

Hey I have the cp3 conversion also on my 2020 Ram 5500, I have the industrial injection brand. Iv had it for over a year now and constantly have issues with the aluminum fuel lines leaking. They made a new kit which blocks off one of the fuel lines so now theres only one aluminum fuel line. It will last me for like 20,000-30,000 miles before it starts leaking again. I keep having to buy new lines. They told me I over tighten them but Iv tried to barely tighten it and it leaks again. Its a crappy design and Im tired of messing with it constantly while on the road. Was curious which brand you went with and if you have any issues with the lines leaking. I was thinking either to buy a new truck (2021 model) or get the S&S brand for the conversion kit. What would be your suggestion?

Clean af….👌

So are the 2021-2022 having as many problems? And are they better than the 2019-2020?

I have 2020, nothing but problems. Frankly I Have had Gen 2,3,4,5. I think my 3ed Gen was the best. Recall after recall and trans problems. I just cant buy another. My ball joints have gone bad as well at 57k miles. Trans went out at 31k miles.

Thanks for info. I been looking for a truck. I still have my old 7.3. But she needs some $$$$ love. I never had a dodge Cummins. I like but damn. These news diesels are so sensitive and expensive and to me. Not reliable compared to my old truck. I get it. Emissions. Etc. but damn. The replacement parts are $3k-$7k including labour. And that to me defeats the purpose of diesel. Looks like I gonna browse for a gasser Chevy 2500 6l. At least they are common and parts are cheaper I think

beautiful truck/ yes we want all the details

Paul - I know this video is older< but can you tell me which wheel size and offset this is?

is there a good after market ball joint out there ?

Another problem with the rams equipped with the cap less fuel filler is allowing dirt and shit inside the fuel tank and clogging up the fuel pick up strainer messing with fuel pressure and that's what usually takes out the injection pump. So install a cap, and remove tank and clean out the strainer.

thank you for video. stupid emissions

K. I just bought a 2023 ram. Would it have Cp3 or cp4?

All CP4s are having issues. Across the many forums I frequent (as I also have a 2014 VW jetta TDI), all bosch CP4 pumps in America are typically a failure component. Argument has been made between the masses that its because USA fuel quality is lower than that of EU, with a lower lubricity number (I think thats the right word) compared to EU, so there aren't as many problems in Euope where Bosch is originally homerooted. Thus, they haven't taken much interest in fixing the problem.
