    Bilstein dampers and a higher profile tyre will make the truck much more liveable on a long drive. Add in some air springs, and fix the brakes with the transmission tune up will make it a much more pleasent drive. Good thing with the cummins is that parts are readily avaliable and there's plenty of aftermarket support to eliminate the issues and add more refinement to it with a new turbo and exhaust system that's not quite so loud.

    I'm happy to see the Fummins back in action. I had watched a couple of your videos here and there, but the Fummins build is what really got me into your channel. And I'm not gonna lie, I kinda fell off watching your videos recently, and now that the Fummins is back so am I. I'm invested in your content again. I don't really know why, I like drifting and fast cars more than trucks, content-wise and in real life, but there's just something about this Fummins build that keeps me coming back for more. Edit: I guess a manual trans dodge build would be cool. I know they also have a lot more issues with front end parts, tie rod ends, ball joints, that sorta thing. I worked with a dude a few years ago who had just bought a nice dodge, like a 2016, which at the time was only a year old and still under warranty. And he said every time he took it in for service it cost him a thousand dollars every time. So there's that. But I think that if I were in your shoes I would just continue building the Fummins. Yeah, there might be some challenges, but you have already put so much time and effort into that truck. And it's such a cool, custom build. There's a million manual transmission dodge's, there aren't too many Fummins. And the Fummins is going to give you more content in the long run because with the dodge you're just going to build the engine and slap some wheels on it. You can do whatever you want with the Fummins. And while it is more fun to drive a manual transmission, if you were ever to build the engine to over 1000 horsepower a built automatic transmission would hold up better than a manual. And if the 2020 is still under warranty I would keep it. Continue using that to tow your trailer while you build the Fummins into the ultimate long distance tow pig, and sell it when the Fummins is a complete, polished build that doesn't need any more upgrades or bugs worked out.

    I agree with everyone on the wheels. They look amazing, but to make the truck feel way more comfortable and useable, put some factory 17” wheels on it with factory size tires and it’ll tow and drive significantly better. Also, a large muffler and resonator for the exhaust would make it significantly more comfortable in the cab.

    Ditch the wheel tire combo for taller sidewall and a much softer ride and tinker with the other nuances until sorted is my vote. Give the interior a refresh for really comfortable seats and a modern sound system. But if you go with something else I totally dig the manual trans idea. Drivers drive, its what we do.

It could easily been a problem on the Fummins or a A different Ram that wasn’t able to be fixed on the side of the road and you been in the same position. It’s no cut on you and I mean no offense but I think you were expecting too much from a warranty/emergency situation if something had happened. You got the reality once something did.

It'll lessen the strain on the the diffs, the engine itself, the transmission, and allow for a better overall towing experience. The big wheels look flashy, but are impractical for the application you are needing. Your build obviously, but that's just my experience from years of farm hauling. Love the video!

    I used DCS to try and tune my 5r100 but didn’t like it at all, went with the Blessed tune 6.0 mildly raised trans shift points and love it! I’ve got a 24 valve ppump conversion swap with a custom 1600 low stall converter.

    Hey man, I have the exact same setup as you (08 F350 with 03 Common Rail) I got a low stall converter and had my SCT tuned by Randy Gillam and it is night and day. Had the same 2-3-2 weird shift through 10+ tunes with DCS. Randy fixed it in one! The Ram trucks are great to drive but I’ve never had anything but bad luck with the front end, trans issues and the interiors have never held up. I think you’d be better off tuning this one, dropping to a smaller wheel to help with the ride and maybe some compounds or an upgraded billet turbo. Love watching your stuff. It’ll be awesome no matter what you choose.

    My personal thoughts, manual trucks are cool as a novalty but when your running it as your main tow vehicle it soon becomes old. Also a bigger turbo with maybe some "less cool" wheels would make the fummins more comfortable. While it's nice to have a truck that hits all the spots, it's main job is to get you where you need to go comfortably and reliably.

    I’ve got the same truck, a 2008 F350 Dually with a common rail cummins. Mine has intermittent shifting issues and a flickering battery light which I have narrowed down to the Tach Adapter developing some corrosion inside (the tach adapter converts the Cummins signal to what the ford dash and pcm need for the tach to function properly). If it isn’t giving the PCM a proper tach signal it will cause it to shift poorly. I have the new one on order and am hopeful that fixes the shifting issue because when it is working it shifts great. I tuned it with HP Tuners and a tune from DCS. I was disappointed when you bought a new truck and parked this one, so am happy to see it back in the limelight. Gorgeous rig and awesome build. I believe the IATs will be lower with compounds🤔

    One note on the which truck debate. The downside with upgrading the fummins is I need it to tow with. So I can’t have it down for a long period of time and do everything I want. So it makes it a bit trickier to do what I want to do. Would have to do it in short stages. And get over the worry of an issue every time.

    4th Gen cummins 3500 six speed is the move.

I would do the manual nv4500 swap, and it would be bulletproof. Loosing the center console kind of sucks, but see if you can find someone to build you a custom center console to keep your cup holders etc instead of going back to the old style.

If you looking for a manual ram the last year they made the manual ram was 2018 to help your search results. Mine is tuned on dsp5 switch by duramax tuner. With emissions still intact, And she gets down. Before I had this truck I had a 3/4 ton 2500 with helper bags and spring and the now 1ton truck rides nice in tow (very confident/ comfortable) and is not bad to drive daily as I do (my 3/4 ton was way rougher of a ride).

    I own a 2013 Ram 2500 Cummins, I absolutely love it. It's an automatic, the 68RFE is a joke as you know. I was a Ford guy my whole life, but time and experience have changed my mind, I'm a pretty big fan of the Ram. I plan to either swap in the manual transmission or an Allison, there are some really good swap kits out there. I think the driveability of the 24v vs the 12v would be significant enough for you to consider the Ram. I love your Fummins build, but I really think you'd enjoy the experience of a Ram. Also there would be tons of upgrades and modifications that you'd want to do on the Ram, tons of fresh content there!

    Just an observation but it looked like the old filter seal was left in the pump. Also if you still fight the trans tuning, you can always keep thr 5r but run a PCS controler as a standalone TCM. I would recommend a clutch refresh and upgrading at least the direct drum to hold 6 clutches vs 4 as thats a common failure point in the 5r.

    IMO the tow rig is the one you want to get as close to ideal in stock form as possible. I'd say the dodge with a Cummins you can fix/ maintain yourself is the best option especially from a comfort perspective. Could even choose to do a cool video on sound damping, audio enhancements, trailer mods, etc to make it the best long haul rig possible.

    But it is stock, just different stock. A dodge with a cummins and the fummins is essentially the same thing, well the fummins don't have dodge electronics or craptastic transmissions or blown out dashes! But there is no difference in going into the store and if engine related saying 08 dodge, if the rest 08 Ford. We won't mention how "stock" has many downfalls and a lot left to be desired, Upgrades and updates are a must (and deletes!) Or get a F650 and it has a cummins from the factory! 🤯 Also where he is located he honestly probably has a better chance getting a upgraded part from a shop if anything happens than anthing "stock"
