Great video. My son bought a 2021 2500 back in June of 21. It is the same Delmonico Red as the truck you show here. It is an absolute wonderful truck to drive. I have owned 2 Cummins myself, a 1993 5.9 with the Getrag 5 speed and a 1998 5.9 12 valve with the NV4500 5-speed. While I really liked the manual behind the Cummins, the new 6.7 auto makes a great package in the recent generation truck. Now I am considering one myself. I noticed that Cummins now puts the CP3 fuel pump on the engine which arguably is a more durable pump that the CP4 it replaced. One thing I will ask: There are lot of people out there talking about deletion of the emissions. This can bring in all kinds of unwanted issues with inspection, warranty, DOT fines if caught, etc. What, if any, concerns should a buyer be aware of specifically related to the emissions systems on these trucks? Quite franky, I remember the day when idling my old 5.9s would fill the neighborhood with smelly exhaust particularly on a cold morning. My son's truck runs amazingly clean. And it makes way more power than either of my old trucks did.

It's not that the emissions system are boomed to fail and yes a modern diesel can run for hours inside a shop and you wouldn't even notice, they are super clean. but in colder climates like Canada def does not like the cold. it can freeze and become an issue. there are also just a lot of sensors and wiring on the exhaust system which gets hot and cold day in and out and when those sensor fail it will completely de-rate the truck. the systems have gotten better over the years but there is just alot of things to go wrong and when they do you'll be limited the truck to like 10km an hour in limp mode. whereas if your O2 sensor failed on a gas engine, it would throw a check engine light but you could in theory drive it for weeks until it got fixed.

The v92 series Detroit's as well as all their 2 strokes leaked oil from the air box drain. That oil was simply typical oil consumption that would get past the rings but instead of being burned in the cylinder like a four stroke, it was allowed to leave the engine before getting to the combustion chamber. If they had simply routed those drains back into the oil pan they wouldn't have used or leaked any more oil than any other engine. They likely didn't route the drains to the oil pan due to the air box pressure that also would come along with the oil.

Years ago we did see the T444 7.3 in school buses and moving trucks.

Physics analysis concluded 90 degree V design produced more torque but great point about lower RPM. I haven’t seen any calculations on that yet.

I have always been a diehard Cummins fanboy too but as problematic and finicky as they are, the Navistar power strokes were used in medium duty trucks under alternate naming. The 7.3 was called T444E, and the 6.0 was called VT-365 both indicating CI displacement, and the infamous 6.4 was called Maxxforce 7 which had better pistons than fords version. And navistar is still using the engine. Also the powerstrokes have always been under square and the latest 6.7 produces it’s torque at low rpm. V8 diesels also have their advantages: they have less friction because they have fewer crank bearings, they are lighter, and more compact just to name a few. They have been used for many applications for years, especially in applications where space is a concern: mining dump trucks, trains gensets, and especially compact vehicles: Tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, fire trucks etc. look up an old engine called a 903 Cummins it was used for many applications, also we can’t forget the 3208 Cat or the old 2-stroke detroits used in everything you can think of, they sound like they are turning twice as fast as they actually are and are perhaps the most under square engines ever built. The b model Cummins was not designed for pickups but for heavy applications, but Cummins actually did design a pickup engine recently and guess what! it was a V8 ( the 5.0 used in the Nissan Titan. So the V8 design defiantly has its advantages. Also the V8 is much smoother than I6 design, for one thing it has a balanced firing order, secondly it has more cylinders which always makes an engine smoother! But the big reason why the V design is smoother is because the pistons are going in different directions instead of all up and down. I know this from experience because I grew up on the road in a bus with a music act and we had busses with v8 and in-line 6 The duramax is a great, bulletproof engine and it’s predecessor, the 6.5 Detroit is also if you get the bugs worked out of it. The 6.5 Detroit has been used in military humvees for years I would rather work on a dodge Cummins than any other pickup diesel because everything is just so much easier to get to, also the design is so simple and straightforward The duramax is over square, and it shows up in the poor towing mpg and lack of low end torque, but they are a much cleaner, simpler engine design than the power stroke for example: they simply have a straightforward normal, traditional diesel engine design with Bosch common rail where ford has had all kinds of weird stuff: The pre 7.3 and 6.0 had the insanely over complicated HEUI system which used pressurized oil to run the injectors and the turbo veins on the 6.0 It worked ok on the 7.3 because it was actually designed by Caterpillar and built like a tank, but was a complete disaster on the 6.0 The 6.7 power stroke is also an extremely weird design So I’d rather work on a duramax than a powerstroke, but a the Ram Cummins is still easier to work on

You Should look into the BMW Diesel M57 inline 6, they run compound turbos from factory. Very interesting engines even though they aren't a truck engine.

My personal favorite engine in a passenger vehicle is the Mercedes OM617a. From a longevity standpoint they do have a leg up on the Cummins. Lots of those engines out there in generator setups pushing 40-50,000hrs on the motors. A good friend of mine was Mercedes tech in Germany that was part of the original design team that released the W123 chassis cars and he talked a lot about some of the engineering that went into those motors. Only thing that killed them was running them too cold. My own 300td has over 750k on the car and it’s untouched. I have owned the car since it had about 120k on it and the only repairs have been the water pump and the oil filter blocks o rings where it mounts to the block. Other than that just regular valve adjustments and normal maintenance. Oh I did do the timing chain and tensioner around 400k and the tensioner is getting near maxed out again. I’m a Cummins guy and have worked on a lot of different diesels but that engine, I have a real soft spot for!

Having trouble putting the radiator drain plug back on on my 2015 Cummins any suggestions on how to do it besides pulling the grill off?

. That said... I love my Cummins 6.7

here in Africa the Cummins B series engines are in virtually everything. road graders, Excavators, Dump trucks, semi trucks,. fire tenders, cranes etc...some Companies like TATA have their entire Heavy Duty truck lineup based on the cummins 5.9 and 6.7. . to find it in a "Luxury" pickup in the US is not only shocking but its waay overkill for whatever application that truck is going to be used in.

My v8 peak torque is at only 1600 rpm; what is your problem with this? Is that really high in Canada?

760VNL 💪💪💪💪 love and enjoy my truck. Going up the mountains of Cheyenne Wyoming at 77 mph 80,000 lb.

Thank you so much for inlighting me! Good and a succint video! Keep up the good work please! Now I have a question for you and I would like from you a true answer, what is your opinion, your point of view regarding the new Ram 1500 Rebel V6 Ecodiesel 3.0l engine 3rd generation? I realy do apreciate your sinceraty! What is your strongly advice, thank you kindly! It would be used in agricultural domaine and daily driving! And another choice is the new Mitsubishi L200/Triton/Strada with the 2.2l Diesel engine from Peugeot bank of organs! Here in Europe and in the Asian and Latin American markets its know for his reliability, his toughness, his roughness; is the equivalent of Toyota Hilux or a Toyota Tacoma! I'm from South-East Europe! Here in the South-East Europe the 5.7l gasoline/petrol engine is not relevant! I meant to say he drinks 3-4-5buckets of gasoline fuel in 100km.! So is not worth it trust me on this one! Here in my country a quater of an galon of a gasoline/petrol fuel cost ~ an American Dollar and a half! The Diesel fuel is about the same! Thank you again, so sorry for bouthering you with these things!

Thank you for the question! The Eco diesel is a horrible engine, nothing but issues. if you are looking for reliability the Eco diesel is NOT it. go with the 2.2L diesel, it will probably run forever unlike the eco diesel. and yes fuel is so expensive these days!

Excellent video! I want a Cummins Ram HD but can't find one to test drive. I spend a lot of time on timbered logging roads which are notoriously rough. I don't want to get beat up OR beat the truck up. I don't tow heavy but do need the bed capacity. I have test driven a Silverado 2500 (on asphalt) and F250 (on dirt roads). I thought the Ford had a little bit better ride. I also haven't ruled out the gas versions thinking maybe the ride might be better from the lighter engines? If it matters the regular cab or double cab/super cab configurations are my preference for maneuverability.

@@stephenfrancis182 Yeah they're the best HD off-road but I prefer the smaller regular cab/double cab/super cab configuration. Also no diesel option with the Power Wagon. May have to compromise but still hoping to drive a Ram 2500 Regular Cab with the Cummins.

The 6bt and the 4bt are the two small diesel engines found in the industrial and " marine " application, I was installing Cummins 6and 4 bt engines in boats long before Dodge ever got intresred in them back in The mid 80s. If you really want to find out how an engine will perform , put it in the marine world. Penske tried it with the 6.2 v8 didn't work out so well I was present on one of the only start up's. I have never seen a power stroke or an old 6.9 in the marine world, it all comes down to preference as to which engine one wants.

well said! I've a lot of gen sets use these engines.

I have a repowed 93 Gmc with 5.9 Cummins still going strong. Rust and transmission issues is the only thing slowing this workhorse down. And also 09 Dodge 6.7 daily driver now. Neither have had any engine issues with either. Combined mileage between the two is well over a million miles. You are wrong about the V8 used in medium trucks and school busses. Our school division had so much trouble with the v8 diesels that they are going back to gasser busses. The biggest kicker being the unreliability of the emissions systems.

Well you've almost got me sold. Only problem is the 80k dollar price tag.

I get the towing side of it, but is it a good local driver? I don’t haul too often but I’ve come close to maxing out a RAM 1500

The duramax has been used in medium duty applications, was offered in the Chevy kodiak and Gmc topkick. Today it is offered in the new Silverado medium duty trucks and international CV. The 6.7 power stroke is offered in the F650 and 750. The V8 diesels have definitely been used in medium duty applications.

well ya because it's a gm product lol why pay to license another diesel when you have your own. international has a contract with gm and that "international" is a glorified gm pick up. but have you seen like a medium duty freight liner or Kenworth use a duramax? maybe a school bus or a city bus? probably not. look I'm not trying to hate on the duramax I actually kind of like them. they make great power. but the commercial trucking industry does not use consumer engines in their products. the cummins is a commercial grade engine whereas the powerstroke and duramax are not.

It took Detroit Diesel to come out with the Series 60 to get Cat off their a$$ to start improving their lineup to be half way competitive. Just like the Harley Davidson mindset of people buying the name more than the product. I have never been a Cummins fan in heavy trucks but in the pickup market they are probably the best option going.

I have a question. I have a 2006 dodge ram 2500 HD with a 5.7 Hemi. Is it possible to swap the Hemi for a diesel engine?

Good morning. Iam looking into getting into hot shot driving . I will be doing local hauls or at least try . Iam in california Iam looking for a 3500 Cummins a lot of the affordable ones are at under 150k miles . Would consider that amount of mileage a high risk buy? Considering these are know for well over 400 k . Also the years of the trucks Iam looking for are 2018 and up

what abou it all the emissions issues that really make them unrelieable anymore? i am afraid to buy diesel in my pickup because of the issues with emissions. i buy gas and tow a lot but use lots of fuel but no worry about limp mode and all the problems.

Okay let's say I have 80 g set to the side and I'm looking for about 2300 horsepower out of a 6.7 Cummins what are my options and how do I achieve that

Is there any difference from the 2021 Cummins to the 2022? There is a a guy on the internet that is bashing the 2022 year Cummins, he is having issues with his fleet of trucks. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it would be cool to see the same red top 6.7 cummins in the ram trucks instead of a slightly different engine...thinking about that, don't you think it would have even more reliability because it is detuned? And some savings because they are using the same engine for various applications?

Ya it would be a very sturdy engine. I think the issue is with the passenger vehicle market is the marketing teams are always trying to one up the competition. So I feel like in order to sell more trucks they go with a much more tuned up version and people somehow think they are getting a better engine. even though the old 5.9 Cummins had like 150 horse but would last a lifetime.

Love mine . I have large compounds injectors and built tranny all built by me . I've been running my 24v at 1000hp for years . Minimal mods . It's pronounced Hole-set

If the truck could match the engin it would be a great combo.

Fair point. I do believe i've read that ram is looking into a new trans for its heavy duty trucks. Either a heavy spec 8 or 10 speed ZF. Or potentially a contract with allison as GM's exclusive contract with them is up. And I know alot of commercial trucks that run an ISB cummins (6.7) with an allison trans behind it so it would be awesome to see that combo

I purchased my first Dodge with cummins in 1999, 2500 4x4. I towed horse a 24' GN 4 horse trailer all over the NC, VA & TN mountains. Traded that truck at 251k miles, running and towing like a champ. Got a 2005 3500 dually 4x4 with 68 RFE trans, stepped up to a 44' full living quarters 4 horse trailer. Probably 40k miles of me owning that truck was towing the horse trailer around the mountains and a 24' GN with skid steer and attachments. Traded that truck at 207k miles, running and towing like a champ. Neither truck had transmission problems, both trucks needed fuel pumps around 125k-150k miles, the 1999 needed front wheel bearings around 180k miles. Other than that, just typical maintenance items. Both trucks were 100% stock and I stayed on top of maintenance. Some mechanics said I went overboard on servicing because I had the trans serviced, diffs and transfer case fluids changed more often than recommended, but that's because I towed heavy a lot. Maybe I did, but I never had drive train problems. I now have a 2017 3500 dually, crew cab, LB, Limited 4x4 with HO 6.7 and Aisin trans, it's a beast with a heavy load. Hotshot guys loved the new Fords with 10 speed trans, until they started have serious trans issues.

I do want to give Ford a bit of credit. For years they used international engines from the 6.9 IDI to the 6.4 power stroke. Honestly I have no idea why International couldn’t keep up as they have been producing engines for years. But Ford designed the 6.7 in house I believe and for their first Diesel engine to be designed, manufactured and put in their truck lineup that does compete with Cummins and has a descent share of the market is amazing. And out of the big 3, they are the only ones that build their own Diesel engine for these pickups from what I aware of.

not great to be honest. and I think RAM knows it. rumor is that they are either going to go with a heavy spec 8 or 10 speed ZF, or go with an allison. GM's exclusive contract is up and I think RAM is trying to get on board with them. makes sense because alot of medium duty trucks with a cummins ISB (6.7) come with an allison behind it. so it would be an easy transition

UPDATE: In Dec. 2022, my RAM had the fuel pump replaced with a CP3 under warranty. The following was written by me in May 2022. There is an issue with the 2019's. Not the engine but the high pressure fuel pumps. They've been recalled. The BIG problem is, they have yet to manufacture an adequate replacement. So we are driving around not knowing when our big, beautiful Cummins engine will quit. I have a big camping trip planned in July, and I'm concerned.
