The torque wars are ridiculous. The drivability and reliability are what buyers look for. I don't care which one is "faster". If you're buying an HD truck for speed, you're nuts.

No tuner - stock size tires - I did take out the thermal block in the tranny lines and replaced with a pass through unit. I service the tranny with pan off fluid and filter change ( i know i am leaving several quarts in TC) every 33k. NO PROBLEMS except a fan pully bearing on the engine at 90k. Well...that damn Uconnect screen will sometimes wait two minutes to show up and come on and the factory Nav thinks I am in the ocean🙃. I have to say I have gotten my money's worth in 10 years and I can sell it for a fair amount over half what I paid for it. I LOVE the idea of a new rig but I am wary of the hydraulic lifters (compared to my solid lift cam) and they have become SO overpriced that I don't believe in ten years I will be able to get 60 plus % of what I pay today out of it. Keeping mine.......but I keep thinking about that new 8speed..........

I have a 2018 2500 G56, 3.42 gears, that thing is stupid fast. I admit, it is super nice to be able to downshift with an exhaust brake. I would like to see a G/T edition 2500, Ive seen the 1500 G/T edition, It has paddle shifters and a console mounted gear selector, and considering they’ve brought some things over from the 1500 to the 2500 I would love to have an 8 speed 2500 with paddle shifters. Only thing I would trade it for would be a 7 speed manual or the 8 speed diesel as a G/T edition, 100% would trade it in for one of those.

Surely the light / medium duty commercial trucks will have a tuned down version of that engine to promote longevity.

Makes sense if all the 6.7 fuel agnostic engines will have the lower assembly

The new 1500 inline 6 is so good people will be shocked how many people switch to half ton.

I think ram was waiting until they had a better transmission to bump up the power. The 68RFE was okay, but never shifted really happy and kinda the same story with the Aisin unit in the HO version. They just didn’t drive anywhere as good as the competing. That and I trust the 68RFE about as far as I can throw it, which is pretty self explanatory. It’s way better than the old 4 speed, but under extreme duty, just doesn’t hold up.

It seems that logistics and economics wise having a single diesel would make more sense. That is if Stellantis management doesn't destroy the company

It might make more sense for Ram/Cummins to only have one, but I think from a consumer standpoint this is bad. Having some real separation in capability between the 2500 and 3500 series trucks makes sense. So then naturally having a smaller engine, focused on less cost (perhaps) but more importantly, fuel efficiency, would be a good thing. We don't need a 2500 with 2000 lb/ft of torque, that makes 0 sense. If you need more power than 800 lb/ft then hop into the 3500, that's literally what its there for. For the 2500, give me a smaller engine, and allow me to keep my total cost of ownership down (less def usage, less mpg, and whatever else is involved). Having an updated 8 speed across the board though, that is a good thing. I don't think this will help sales either, the Ram heavy duty looks stale, and it has the smallest cab. That needs to be adressed at some point very soon. If they had come out with an all new 5th gen heavy duty 2500, new cab, updated dimensions, 8 speed transmission, and a more efficient cummins at 800 lb/ft, that would be killer IMHO. Keep the 1000+ lb/ft monster for the 3500 where its actually needed.

For Ram to get their 2500 up to current snuff, they need their GVWR to be above 12,000. That has been the major sticking point since 2020.

I don't think anybody knows yet what the actual technical revisions will be from the current engines, if there even are any. They might just be dropping the standard output version and doing a modest power bump on the current HO version and calling it "new and improved". The transmission I believe they have been working on for quite some time which is probably the bigger news.

I doubt they will top power but torque, yes

2:16 Looking at that graphic, that ZF is “only” rated for 1,000 lb-ft. If the new engine will make more power than the current HO, will it support that much torque? I’m sure ZF will make variants, if that’s what it’ll be paired with.

Needs the mega cab

Not updating the cab is a deal breaker for me.

I doubt ram will remain in business long enough to get it to market. They can’t even clear the inventory they have now. Have you seen the dealers lots lately? They’re completely full.

The Hurricane engine is NOT DURABLE enough for the heavy duty trucks.

I’ll probably get flamed, but to me these already have plenty of power. I’d rather the big 3 compete in fuel efficiency, or maybe who can bring prices down the most instead of ever increasing HP and torque.

@@TheGettyAdventures Yeah I hate to sound like an old man but you can hit msrp $110k for a loaded dually… most people who can write that check didn’t get there by dumping huge money on things that depreciate. I’d set aside money for a truck but I think I’d rather drive my old one and pick up a rental property…. Just nuts.

That's always been the American spirit, though. Bigger and better, more power, higher numbers. That was true with the muscle cars in the 60s and 70s, continuing through to today. I think the price issue starts with the economy as a whole. Get that inflation down for starters, and bring down the rates. I think we'll be surprised how much that will help

I can bet you that new high output Cummins is gonna come with a crazy price tag. I got a feeling it is a little too late for them ford is a few steps ahead. They should’ve came out with the high output Cummins three years ago..

I agree the price tag will be something to look out for lol

I was hoping that they move to an 8.1L cummins that I'd been hearing rumors about on tik tok

I mean that certainly could be the case, I'm under the impression they are continuing the 6.7L platform. reason being is because that engine being an inline-6 is very long and it barely fits as is under the hood. adding another 20% to the length it probably won't fit in the truck. especially since they are keeping the existing cab and chassis. BUT I could be wrong, just my thoughts.

@@TheGettyAdventures that’s a good point, and extra 20% length would make it hard to fit for sure

I don't expect big numbers from Cummins, but I think the ZF will yield a big improvement in acceleration, and with better MPG. With 1,000 RPM lower redline, and less valve area the straight six is never going to make big HP numbers in an emissions compliant tune.

Hoping for a 420 HP 6.9L(420 cu.in.) Gas V8 and 480 HP 6.9L(420 cu.in) Diesel I-6.

That ZF is far from bulletproof. Look at the Paccer labeled TX-8. Same with the PX7 and 9. That duty cycle is far from what any pickup will ever see. KW T180-480(19k-58k GVWR) and the Pete versions are the only places this transmission have been available, they are NOT selling better than the Allison in Paccars own products. Looking at the placement of the TCM is kinda scary, honestly.

Looks like all of the internet hype a few months ago when Cummins was fined for messing with the particulate sensors was all false. Wow, imagine that, internet hype being false. Everyone said Ram will divorce from Cummins, Cummins is done. Ahaha, looks like Ram and Cummins are still dating. 2024 Ram HD trucks with the Cummins will have some big rebates as the year goes on, most who can will wait for the 2025 Cummins and the better tranny too.

Shame they didn’t keep the HO options for the 2500s, my 03 Cummins HO 2500 pulls better than a buddy’s ’22 6.7L Cummins SO in his 2500.

It performed the worst on my towing loop. Performance isn't everything obviously but it has fallen behind Both GM and Ford in my opinion.
