Most solid video you’ve done. Realistic, no fan boy shit. Do the best thing for the health of the business. No other metric need apply. It’s a machine.

Your right on with your assessment, I had a 2008 F250 with the 6.4. Lost the number 8 piston and rod at 21K. It was not covered on warranty. I also had 2011 Chevy 3500 gas. This motor had a misfire and would go into limp mode. Neither the dealer or my mechanic could resolve the issue. Now I have 2018 Ram 3500 with Cummins and Aisin transmission. It is easy to service and has been the most reliable.

Alright Alex, You are learning. I had a small mobile repair business so I work on all of these trucks. A truck that is easy to fix stays fixed. both Ford and Chevy/GMC are really hard to work on so it takes longer to fix which means more down time. I have been watching your videos for about a year and a half and was surprised that you didn't know much about trucks (SRW vs DRW and stuff like that), but you have come a long way. I would recommend getting a small diagnostic tool like a launch so you can read and clear your check engine lights. You would be amazed how many codes get cleared and don't come back. Of course repair places never say I cleared that code and it didn't come back so it is good to go.

I really appreciate your advice this is an excellent video

If you ever watch PD Diesel, he has an entire fleet of ram 3500s with the HO cummins and aisin transmission and he puts 400k-500k miles on all of them.

I have all Rams a 2015,2016 two 2017 two 2018 and a 2020. All are dually with the Asian transmission. The newer the more power and better braking the have. They all have been good other than a few minor issues except the 2020 When we brought it home from the dealer two days later at 140 miles it would not start because of a bad battery. Cummins engine’s are the way to go and the Trucks we run are loaded limited and big horn models. They have been less trouble than you would think.

Great video I always listen to a man that's been there and done that

I'm a RAM guy, but you're going to get some shit for this. Good video Thanks

Hey Alex, putting the brand A vs brand B aside for a moment my question revolves around pick up vs chassis cab. I realize the big three de-tune their CC engines for longevity compared to the pickup versions of the same trucks, but does real-world highway towing suffer as a result? Thanks

Great job Alex, always enjoy your videos!

You are absolutely right. I own a 2011 RAM with the R68 transmission. After doing Hot Shot for 40,000 miles the trans went out in a small town. The shop rebuilt the trans better than before with a triple plate torque converter and modified fluid plate. The cost $8,900 for the trans work, PLUS I lost over $10k for being out of work. I'm still going to keep the 2011 RAM... BUT I decided I needed a real truck so I chose a 2018 RAM Laramie "High Output" with the ASIN transmission and dual rear wheels. I had to put new Michelins AT 2's on the rears along with "Cat Eye" tire pressure guague. The only other thing I need to change is the rear from 3.73 to 4.11 to put the engine in the torque curve. What a TRUCK - the difference between the 2011 and the (new to me) 2017 is like day and night. Just waiting on the DMV for new tags - and WAITING and........ Two trucks? Here are some points: 1. Well if one RAM has a break down I can self rescue and bring the dead one to my local mechanic and put the other one into service. 2. My 2011 RAM was not California legal so I didn't take any loads there and I couldn't pickup there as well. The 2017 has all the emissions stuff in tact so I can haul to and from CA. 3. I could put my daughter who is 32 to work driving the second one. She could make a lot more money than she is doing now. 4. I can just have a personal truck without having to unhook the trailer every time I need to go somewhere. 5. Insurance is dirt CHEAP on the truck used for personal purposes. We are talking $745 per year "personal use" on the 2017 3500 Laramie RAM. When I put the 2017 into service I will put it on the commercial policy and move the 2011 RAM to the personal policy.

I have a 2020 2500HD diesel / allison 10 speed transmission. It is the best truck I have ever owned. I went to virginia beach and back from the midwest thru the mountains with 7 degree grades. That exhaust brake is the best button on the whole truck. I did not use my brakes except minimally. The computer control system is very intuitive on this truck. If you find yourself in top gear with the exhaust brake and it is speeding up because of the 7 degree grade then lightly pump the brake. It will downshift. If you are still not ok with the speed, pump the brake peddle again. I did this all the time to get it to downshift to the right engine speed. 2500rpm seemed to be just what it needed most of the time but I saw 3500 rpm once and it was making a lot of noise but it was slowing down without any pedal. So yea, anyone who tells me that the 2020 chevy hd system is crap has never driven one up and down the mountains like I have....Oh and I was 23,000 lbs combined weight, non cdl hotshot.

Man I love this guys energy

I'll have to agree with you. While I'm a Ford guy, I can't argue with the Cummins W/O the problematic fuel pump and having an Aisin transmission. Plus, exhaust brake. The Cummins has a much better exhaust brake than either of the V8 configurations. If they could just figure out the perfect tuning for the Cummins as far as fuel mileage is concerned, I really think that they would distance themselves even further from the competition to the point to where complete engine redesign would become a better prospect than simply retuning. Honestly, if Ford came out with a straight 6 (which would likely increase its engine braking), that would be the one I'd go for. Good video, sir!

This dude is hilarious!!!! Love it!

I have a GM...they are solid, and used for towing all the time. The problem is that GM stopped making med duty trucks, 4500-6500. As far as payloads, the payloads are the same for a similarly fitted truck when you compare payload to actual trim. The newer dually's are worth trying. I have not seen the newer 10 speed allison in the GM but the older 6 speeds were great for stick configuration. I doubt he would try one..I think he would be impressed

I just dropped 10 stacks on my RAM but everyone go buy RAM.....🤦🏼‍♂️

Good to see you have the correct opinion on gm products

Great job bro

I know 6.0 Powerstrokes are really not meant for hotshotting. But...If you get the truck "Dealerproofed" in Atlanta or "Bulletproofed" in AZ the 6.0 is probably the best diesel truck made. They put lifetime warranties on those trucks and the guy in Atlanta won't even touch any other truck.

I worked and retired from state dot and that 6.0 was the whole reason the state went back to using gas engines in the crew cabs.🤗 You shouldn't have to remove a while cab to get easy access.

Lmao I almost lost my business when I started with a "Bulletproof 6.0". Motor blew 3 times and a veteran Ford tech could not figure out what was wrong with it. We junked it. Thank Goodness for a Mazda B3000 that would not stop kicking or we would be finished with all the grief that truck caused me. Ford doesn't even honor the recalls for that one and there was a class action lawsuit for that particular motor.

Hey Alex, what Transportation Management Software would you suggest?

Great video! I’m getting into hot shot trucking and was wondering, is it better to rent, lease or own your first truck?

Thanks man cause I really really wanted to know this ...but I was always leaning towards a 2015 Ram Dully. But with a Dully how are you staying under weight can you do a video on this.
