I was thinking the same thing when you said the 4th Gen would go down in history as the 12V did. Love the videos Paul, I’m an avid watcher and love all the information on the trucks. Thank you!!

Haven't had any issues with my fourth gen since I misplaced a few parts. It's a friggin beast.

I love my 4th gen it converted me from chevy to 14 ram and will never go back looking to buy a second motor to build and set back. Hope to get many more years

New 18’ 2500 Laramie owner at 90k. Bought used without really knowing anything but liking Cummins. Pull rv and very impressed. With the right equipment “even a caveman….” Thanks

Thank you for your insight, You’re helping me to become an educated buyer$!! His peace & blessings!

What’s the miles on your truck and do you have any head gasket issues y’all

2018 Laramie here no complaints 29,000 miles love the 4th gens.

2018 Limited Longhorn MegCab fully deleted . Couldn’t be happier

I'm a happy owner of a hard working 2014 HO Aisin Ram with 200K. It's been a great truck.

2011 with 245,000, got in brand new in high school! well taken care of and still killing it

I’ve been thinking this about the 4 gens for a minute myself lol

I've had very similar sounding issues on my 2020 as what you describe. Pretty much the exact same issues then I swapped in a CP3 conversion and 40k miles later I have zero issues. I have no clue how it could fix the frequent regen issue, none of it makes any sense to me but all my problems went away. I just hope they stay away.

Would've love to see what the mpg was after you climbed white bird grade! 😆

My 2022 mega cab longhorn transmission went out at 900 miles 3500 HO It took 2 months to get it fixed and they even declined my towing and rented car. Dealership paid me back a while later The customer service was terrible a nightmare. Been with dodge since 89. First gen still have it and I’ve bought 12 dodges since. I think I’ve bought my last.

I’ve always wanted an 18 mega cab.

Found me a 2015 with 14k miles! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

2018 Limited Crew Cab Dually. 😊

Good to know. Thanks.

My only complaint coming from a 2005 HO dually to my 2018 HO dually, is the fuel mileage. I understand the 18 has more power, geared lower, but can only manage 15ish empty, and towing 20k lucky to get 6 or 7. Other than that, love the truck. 44k miles, hope it lasts many more years.

Paul, always love your vids! Got a 14' with 55k, only changed front & rear NOX sensors...what's your thoughts on keeping longer or upgrading? Thanks 🤘

14 4th Gen oh yea! Easy going 110,000 miles.

Looking at a 2016 2500 Laramie Cummins with 205k on the odometer. I'm not a diesel guy but it seems to run good. Should I shy away or pull the trigger. I need something that hauls trailers better than my 17' 1500 Ram.

I have a 2015 ram 3500 crew cab with aisin and 40k. I purchased it to tow a 5th wheel toy hauler camper. Anything I should be aware of or do. Thank you, Ryan

What road is that? It looks like you’re ridding down in the center of the earth!! (Or it’s camera angle)

Is a 2017 3500 good ? In your opinion

Yet again either Paul you don't know or won't tell if it's the hydraulic lifters failing that is destroying the fifth gen please specify at this point I'm thinking Amsoil engine flush at every oil change with Amsoil Signature Series Max Duty 5w40 Diesel oil. And the addition of the Amsoil 2 micron oil bypass filtration system. To remove all soot above 2 micron size to keep from plugging up the lifters. Sir maybe the Schaeffers just not getting it done with those lifters.

It’s the cam rollers that don’t have bearings.

Love my 2015, haven’t had a single problem with it,120,000 miles and all of a sudden my fuel mileage has gone down, way down! About half of what I was getting a I can’t figure out why! Anyone have any ideas I’d love to hear them.

I truly regret selling my 16' Longhorn, got about 200,000kms out of my 19' luckily with no issues aside from a leaky manifold, currently have 115,000kms on my 22' and getting frequent regen codes.. decided to buy a brand new Limited Mega Cab last week. Same 6.7HO as all the others...... lasted less than 24hrs off the dealer lot and 699kms and the transmission completely left the chat. I am truly disheartened by these new trucks and really hope Ram's next truck is worth buying.

What’s your opinion about Hot Shot as a business?

You're 2020 rams crank a long time to start? Are one 2020 cummins is redicklus how long it cranks for hot or cold don't matter

How about the 2021 HOs

Yes please explain what is causing the 2022 engine failures, I'm thinking the factory recommended oil is not adequate protection for these engines? Synthetic Blend is lousy oil.

Aisen or 68rfe ?

I've never had a 5th gen HD but I have had a 4th gen 2017 2500 6.7 Cummins, 2016 1500 5.7 hemi, and a 5th gen 2023 1500 5.7 hemi.... between the 1500's, the 2023 interior is nicer, but truck-wise the 2016 sounds better, drives better, has less eco crap.

Got myself a 2012 mega cab Laramie with 80.000 miles…But 500 miles,the way I drive is not enough for me,I still have a Titan with 389.000 miles and not a single problem with engine and trans..So I’m expecting way more then 500k…The problem with most of drivers is …Your foot👌

I'm on my second 5th gen. I had four 4th gens. I like everything about the 5th gen better. Don't know why you're having so many issues. I don't put the miles on like you do, but my 2020 had 110000 when i traded and my current 2022 is at 72000. Not a single issue besides all of Rams stupid recalls. T6 5w40 every 10000 miles.

Oil shouldn’t be the issue here, there’s something going on with the metallurgy on the internals? Possibly Cummins switched suppliers of raw materials like a lot of companies the last couple of years and this could be a contributing factor..?
