Hi, Paul: You're not wasting your time posting videos. People take your presentations seriously. I have a few million miles driving 18 wheelers since 73, own an 08 ram, and like to keep up with what's really happening in the market as to what's working or not. I'm finally retired, but drag my rv trailer all over the country as a full time rv'er. Many thanks for the well grounded information. Michael Rzewuski
22 RAM 3500 HO w/ Aisin. 9200 miles and Transmission failed. Waiting on RAM to help, but so far they have not ben helpful. Keep putting out content to make RAM aware!
I'll bet that the rocker wear issue has to do with the exhaust brake being used more on your trucks and Dodge/Cummins changing the setting on the exhaust brake on the 22s to provide more back pressure/braking. More backpressure = more pressure on the valves = more pressure on the rockers.
It's not just ram it's all of them......I bought a 22 GMC at4 with the 3.0 diesel. The truck literally would not go 500 miles without throwing the check engine light. I bought the truck with 30 miles and traded it in with 2100 miles. The dealer literally put half the miles on the truck,. From service. They would take the truck for 2-3 weeks give it back "your good to go" 2-3 days later right back in.
I am at 132,000 miles within a year of buying my 2022 ram 3500 I followed all of your maintenance schedules I’m praying and hoping it doesn’t end up the same as you
Don't be too hard on Ram or Cummins, we sell a truck called the CV that has the Duramax in it and we've replaced a lot of new Duramax engines under warranty lately, I mean more than I've ever wittnessed ANY engine before.
love that youre posting about these issues i bought a 22 3500 as a daily was hoping to get into some light float work but 6 days into ownership the aisin went and unalived itself that was 5 months ago still waiting on a repair not even a replacement
There's a huge flaw with the grid heaters in the new gen rams because of the placement it cause a bolt inside your intake manifold to corrode way faster than it should and so the bolt snaps and gets carried into the engine. Which of course totally wrecks the engine. Rn the best solution is replacing your oem intake horn with a banks monster ram intake. Elbow Which removes and relocates the stock grid heater so you no longer have a bolt that can corrode and fall into the engine. Here's a video explaining czcams.com/video/1suWBNtjpqE/video.html
You do realize that the banks has a heater as well? Same idea just different design. How can you tell me that won’t break and take the engine out? Banks making good money! Haha one every minute.
Paul, I really appreciate these videos on the Cummins. It’s partially what drove me to get my 4th Gen. I am glad to see you keeping everyone updated with these 22’s and the issues you’re having. I’ve watched ALOT of your videos. Keep it up! And thank you!!
I think it’s working exactly like they want it to. Planned obsolescence. When their trucks hit approx 100,000 miles it’s time for you to upgrade! Exciting. It usually takes a few years though.
I couldn't agree more. Even my 22' 2500 Laramie Hemi is having issues, not emissions related obviously, but just little things....sensors, electrical stuff, wireless charger, blower motor, etc. I ordered a 23' High Country Duramax and it recently got converted to a 24'. Time to switch it up.
Chevy guy's are having trouble with their electrical system too. Not to mention the numerous issues with the 6.2 knock tick 77k truck that ticks. Nice...
2010-2018 was the 4th gens. Def was introduced in 2013 and the updated front end was 2014 “shocks out side of spring”. So the original comment was partially correct lol.
Paul, I appreciate the videos. Honestly you influenced me to buy a ‘21. 68rfe is all I could get, happy with it thus far. I don’t hot shot so I don’t think I need the HO Aisin. Just want to pull a camper one of these days. My ‘21 great fuel economy on the highway. City, the fuel economy is horrible!
Thanks for the videos. These videos are very useful to us customers. So much marketing and lies everywhere, it's valuable having a real person telling us how these trucks perform in the real world. I own a gas Ram 2500 but I'm interested in the diesel trucks.
These videos need to keep coming. Maybe good idea to gather a bunch of footage and splice em together. nothing fancy. would love to see the engine codes, signs, and anything else you can give us other than just your voice would help tons. Either way thanks for the videos brotha!
Hey man keep in mind this is coming from a 6.7 ford guy. I think you just got a batch of covid built trucks. Hands down no argument the cummins is the king of workhorse engines. I love my 6.7 powerstroke but I would not hesitate to buy a new ram.
Keep cranking out the videos Paul. I’ve got a late ‘21 build date ‘22 model year that’s starting to have gremlins. Nothing more than just little pains in the ass so far but I look foreword to more info. God bless Paul and keep up with the good info
Your videos are very useful. These are real world experiences that you are sharing in the working environment as these trucks are “intended“ to do. Now my experiences by no means on par with yours but my 2018 4th Gen G56 with only 40,000 miles is mechanically sound as far as I know now that I have replaced the stock clutch. The latest kerfuffle is the ABS module and brake hydraulic control unit which is constantly throwing a code. Apparently these parts are on backorder and not available frustrating to say the least. I always thought of these trucks, especially when bought brand new as being infallible.🤔
My 18 ram g56 is doing the same thing with the abs keeps coming on. Haven't talked to a dealer is there a recall for this or do we have to pay out of pocket?
Slammed gears heard a bang and lost drive. Had neutral and reverse tho. Happened towing a empty 16k trailer smh at the dealer now. They can button her up so I can get her outta here. Under 3k on the dash hadn’t seen her 1st oil change…
Well, I have a 2021 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins HO experiencing excessive Regen's. Come to find out, there was a shortage on parts when they built the truck and left one sensor off the DPF. FCA reprogrammed the PCM to satisfy the EPA. Meanwhile, the dash display is lying to you. It says 0% at end of Regen. I started running a monitor plugged into the OBD port and the PCM says different. It's not completing the Regen. After the 3rd trip to dealership, they finally admitted to me today that there will be a recall this summer to reinstall the sensor and reflash the PCM. Also a second recall coming on the 5th gen for the grid heater failure.
I just dumped my garbage 2013 powerstroke (had most of the 1st gen issues all of the sudden at 70k) and got a 2017 Ram with 52k miles. Hoping I've come back to the most reliable generation and brand of truck under 10 years old.
Knock on wood....Just clicked over 218,000 on my 2021 Ram 3500 CCLB DRW HO. Only issue I had was the EGR killing the ECM at 68,000 miles. Ram stepped up and gave me a 2yr/Unlimited Mileage warranty because of it.
Please keep posting your videos are very informative. I personally have a 2022 3500 HD and I am curious what to look for for problems. One thing I can tell you is it goes through DEF like crazy and I don't tow anything just drive back and forth to work 30 miles each way on the highway. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Dodge tells me it's normal .........
Hmmmm? 3rd one with the engine going sure your doing some right? I have a 22 with 100k on it hotshot and no issues you seem like a very knowledgeable guy but what’s going on here? You have 3 22s with engines blown something’s not adding up here. Show us your maintenance reports or something we are all curious about what’s the issues your having.
It must be Schaeffer oil. I have comments from former Schaefer dealer who use to sell and use in his fleet until he lost 2 cummins engines and switched back to Mobil 1
@@repairvehicle has to be because I’ve been running amsoil in mines since 10k miles and I have no issues I change my oil every 10-12k miles. The 22 definitely doesn’t burn oil at all.
our x2 2018s are great.I was going to trade in 2022 we did not due to the over sticker game going on. I may get x1 new 2023 or 24 we will see !Thanx for the info!
I was hoping you’d tell us the symptoms! I have 18k on a 21’, and I worry about the engine tick which I’ve heard are: lifters or the cam which will be catastrophic…it goes away as the oil gets dirty. I really love the truck and don’t want to sell it, but damn. I don’t want to have it fail on me!
Been watching your videos I have a 22 ram made the same noise as one of your trucks in a previous video. Had 50,000 miles on it had issue with the throttle being very sluggish only issue so far but your videos makes me wanna trade to a ford. I got a 2014 a 2016 and a 2017 ram all above 200,000 on the clock no issues with those so think it’s time to go with a different brand the hydraulic lifter is a horrible idea we’ve see that in the gas 5.3 and 5.7 engines so these are starting to give me second thoughts. It is a shame I’ve only ever ran ram trucks.
Wow Paul, everyone in this comment section knows your holding back from sharing the details of the failure's with your 2022 trucks. Might be a good time to share what you do know with us? Blessings 🙌
the brand is purposely being destroyed from within by stellantis/fca, and more then likely is because they are being phased out for electric. which also is likely why they refuse to update the cabs and powertrain cause it would cost too much.
A lot of companies these days are using cheaper parts on cars and trucks etc which increases their profit margins making them and shareholders billions of dollars while selling these vehicles at rediculos prices
Paul, seems most the QC issues like the C clamp in the Aisin failure are from around June-Oct builds. Curious if that timeframe lines up with your problems. My 22 was built in Jan and “knock on wood” been good to me.
Just keep posting these updates on this new fleet you bailed off and got.. enjoying your rants on them and maybe this vehicle mess will get straightened out someday.
So I'm interested In a2022 2500 Cummins or 3500 same engine it's not the h.o one big horn I do pull a travel trailer but I want. A turn key truck are these that bad of a truck
My experience with the ho 22s has been tragic. The so engines are different. So I would give it a try. But doc everything so that if needed you can have ram take care of the issue
Ive driven cummins for about the last 12 years now and have had pretty good luck... i think mostly because they were all deleted. Anyway i have a new 22 5500 laramie that i took delivery on last november, its a welding rig/family vehicle. I quite like it, but its also given me issues emissions wise.... up here in Canada tough to avoid though i suppose. Youre videos definatly concern me! i dont put on nearly the KM you do, probably 25, 30,000KM a year. So cross my fingers it holds true. I wont drive one of these new trucks out of warranty thats for certain. Are you going to continue to stick with ram? or venture to a gm or ford? I think there all pretty neck and neck quality wise nowadays. Love your videos, thanks!
So you pull up to 30k pounds of weight daily on brand new engines for over 100k miles in 9 months. Do you think that might have anything to do with the engine failing?
That's to bad they sure are beautiful trucks and as well as you take care of your trucks they should be more reliable that's a bummer ...I love the 2020 I get to drive she's a beast ...
Why is Ram not trying to help you solve these engine issues with as many trucks that you have purchased? I have a 3500 that’s a 22 and I don’t like seeing a situation like your experiencing. I’m not in the trucking business just use it to pull my camper and large cargo trailer. What’s giving out on the engines? I’m short on specifics but I haven’t watched all your videos on the 22’s issues either.
@@repairvehicle I don’t understand why he is not sharing? Has he not had a good diesel mechanic diagnosis what’s going on? If I was in his shoes, I would want to know what is going wrong!
I just don’t get all the manufacturers persistent changes both hardware and especially with software. Build it right and leave it alone. My F150 has a nearly completed update downloaded OTA. Once that is finalized, I might turn off the automatic update feature.
I had an 85 Slant six D100 the only thing that killed it was an Allen key was dropped down the carb by a mechanic...why can't they make a simple truck any more?
with emissions now..i don't know if id buy any new diesel truck..especially for personal use...... double especially at todays prices..the government killed diesel..because thats what this is... these 2022 problems are ALL about emissions dodge got in trouble for emissions now they r trying to keep the power while cutting emissions and it hasnt gone well.....Cummins needs to think of new ways to get rid of DEF and EGR and cut emissions in some other way
I just looked at the owners manual, they reccomend 10w-30 ck-4 for above 0 degrees F, 5w-40 for below 0. I remember that some people ran into issues with the 6.7 powerstroke for running 15w-40 and not 10w-30. The tighter tolerances required a thinner oil. I would think that Paul is running at least 5w-40.
My mechanic told me to run the 10W30 because of tighter tolerance and I live in Michigan so do experience the colder weather. That said, mine is in a heated barn every night too
@@Youngmechanical low ash oil in 10w-30 is number one cause, German cars have been suffering reliability problems for decades now due low ash oil and now they are pushing same garbage on heavy duty trucks to reduce regeneration due to oil consumption
@repairvehicle you again. I've heard you before. I'm not sure where your getting your info but if you need some explanation on the ash content and what it does I'll tell you. I've been in the industrial engine game for a while now and been through countless oil analysis with small 4cyl all the way to 20cyl engines.
I got a 22 3500 HO that was built the first week of December 21. No issues so far and hopefully it stays that way. Wonder if part of the issue is that the final Nox sensor is missing and the tuning just cant compensate. I know mine uses an amazing amout of DEF and a lot of regens so that cant be healthy for it.
@@repairvehicle It’s from the 22s missing a sensor so it runs def at the max level for a given input. Hopefully ram has the sensors available before too long
@@repairvehicle It was by my dealer when I ordered. And can confirm it. The last sensor is filled in with a bolt on my 16 19 and 21 have the downstream box sensor there. It was a 22 only deal and they’re supposed to contact owners when it can be put on.
I’m a salesmanager at a CDJR store in WV. And have not seen or heard of this and I own a 22 2500 Big Horn Mega Cab. Also my truck does not use an absurd amount of DEF it’s lifted 4” on 35” tires I average 16MPG and around 800 miles per gallon of DEF.
You need to go pick yourself up a 22 F350. I’ve been a Ram owner for 25 years but decided to try a Ford and holy hell am I surprised. The powertrain is simply incredible and walks all over my Rams! S&S Diesel just announced a CP4 to DCR conversion so the weakest link will soon resolved! It was hard making the switch but it has been 110% easier than what I ever thought.
@@Itsa_Mea In the 3 years it's been offered they now have it dialed in. Its one of the best features of the truck and really shows how far behind Ram is.
@@repairvehicle The 20+ 3rd Gen is a very stout and solid engine. Live I mentioned below, with the 10 spd being out for 3 years now (going on 4) they have it dialed in. All he needs to do is buy 1 to test. What does he have to loose? It's not like Ram isn't having both engine and transmission problems, right?
@@redtitan29 I was a Superduty owner. You know why I went to RAM in 2018? NO CP4 and NO 10 spd. My work truck is a 2019 with a 10spd. It's on its 2nd one at 78k miles. My co-workers identical truck is there now for his new trans with 94k miles. Other folks that haul for a living that i watch on tubes also fell victim to the 10spd. It's not perfected and really is unnecessary. The Aisin 6 spd in my RAM is a performer and reliable. And theres plenty of others can tell you the same. The 10 spd, not so much if you are working a truck. Plus the Ford Exhaust brake is a joke in comparison to RAM.
It’s called pulling 25k-30k every day for 365 days and drivers that could careless about the equipment……idling all night….etc etc. I have not seen anyone else complaining about 22s like this guy. But hey…..his problems. Not mine
I highly enjoyed the power and torque the 22s have but when it comes to never letting you down I think 4th gens are the way to go. Thanks for the videos looking forward to how the 22 mega cab single axle treats you. Please keep us updated have a blessed day.
What a damn shame...a brand new truck doing the same work as your last (dozen) 4th gens, but can not handle the work. I'm surely hanging onto my 2017. Newer is definitely NOT Better.

22 RAM 3500 HO w/ Aisin. 9200 miles and Transmission failed. Waiting on RAM to help, but so far they have not ben helpful. Keep putting out content to make RAM aware!
I'll bet that the rocker wear issue has to do with the exhaust brake being used more on your trucks and Dodge/Cummins changing the setting on the exhaust brake on the 22s to provide more back pressure/braking. More backpressure = more pressure on the valves = more pressure on the rockers.
I'm not a checy guy, but the 24 duramax looks to be a good alternative
It's not just ram it's all of them......I bought a 22 GMC at4 with the 3.0 diesel. The truck literally would not go 500 miles without throwing the check engine light.

I will say my 2022 uses more DEF than my previous 2018, but watching a video and assume all 2022's are crap is far from the truth.
Broken Ram trucks are like litter on the turnpike. There's one pulled over,broken down every few miles.

Interested in 22 I’m rocking one right now. Was hoping it would be a good truck.
Been watching your videos I have a 22 ram made the same noise as one of your trucks in a previous video.
Had 50,000 miles on it had issue with the throttle being very sluggish only issue so far but your videos makes me wanna trade to a ford.
I got a 2014 a 2016 and a 2017 ram all above 200,000 on the clock no issues with those so think it’s time to go with a different brand the hydraulic lifter is a horrible idea we’ve see that in the gas 5.3 and 5.7 engines so these are starting to give me second thoughts. It is a shame I’ve only ever ran ram trucks.
Wow Paul, everyone in this comment section knows your holding back from sharing the details of the failure's with your 2022 trucks. Might be a good time to share what you do know with us? Blessings 🙌
What a surprise, a truck made during the time of extremely high anxiety and multiple doses of highly toxic and even mandatory juice for employees.
the brand is purposely being destroyed from within by stellantis/fca, and more then likely is because they are being phased out for electric. which also is likely why they refuse to update the cabs and powertrain cause it would cost too much.
Electric is just another hoax that is spreading like a fire and about to be exposed like everything else
I hope in this case you're wrong about that, but it makes sense..
A lot of companies these days are using cheaper parts on cars and trucks etc which increases their profit margins making them and shareholders billions of dollars while selling these vehicles at rediculos prices
Paul, seems most the QC issues like the C clamp in the Aisin failure are from around June-Oct builds. Curious if that timeframe lines up with your problems. My 22 was built in Jan and “knock on wood” been good to me.
Just keep posting these updates on this new fleet you bailed off and got..
enjoying your rants on them and maybe this vehicle mess will get straightened out someday.
The diversity is nice keep the videos coming.
So I'm interested In a2022 2500 Cummins or 3500 same engine it's not the h.o one big horn I do pull a travel trailer but I want. A turn key truck are these that bad of a truck
My experience with the ho 22s has been tragic. The so engines are different. So I would give it a try. But doc everything so that if needed you can have ram take care of the issue
These videos on the new Ram trucks is the reason I ordered a Ford instead of buying a Ram off the lot.
We need more information I also have a 22 h.o. with 13,000 on it no issues so far but mine is a 21 build.
Don’t have a ton of miles on my early build 2021 but it’s been flawless for the first 20k miles. Sorry to hear about the issues.
How can we find the build date?
@@teon1322 the white manufacture sticker on the inside driver door jam.
@@Mill72 thank you 🙏
Do you think the issues are only with the High Output engines?
Very informative. Keep making videos.
Ive driven cummins for about the last 12 years now and have had pretty good luck... i think mostly because they were all deleted. Anyway i have a new 22 5500 laramie that i took delivery on last november, its a welding rig/family vehicle. I quite like it, but its also given me issues emissions wise.... up here in Canada tough to avoid though i suppose. Youre videos definatly concern me! i dont put on nearly the KM you do, probably 25, 30,000KM a year. So cross my fingers it holds true. I wont drive one of these new trucks out of warranty thats for certain.
Are you going to continue to stick with ram? or venture to a gm or ford? I think there all pretty neck and neck quality wise nowadays. Love your videos, thanks!
So you pull up to 30k pounds of weight daily on brand new engines for over 100k miles in 9 months. Do you think that might have anything to do with the engine failing?
That's to bad they sure are beautiful trucks and as well as you take care of your trucks they should be more reliable that's a bummer ...I love the 2020 I get to drive she's a beast ...
Wish I could find someone to buy my 22!
I’ve got a 22 ram 2500 cummins that was built in December 2021. Hopefully it doesn’t have these problems in the future lol
Why is Ram not trying to help you solve these engine issues with as many trucks that you have purchased? I have a 3500 that’s a 22
and I don’t like seeing a situation like your experiencing. I’m not in the trucking business just use it to pull my camper and large cargo
trailer. What’s giving out on the engines? I’m short on specifics but I haven’t watched all your videos on the 22’s issues either.
Because trucks outside of warranty
@@repairvehicle I don’t care if they are in or out of warranty! What are the specific problems with each engine?
@@thomasmiller8214 he is not sharing. But component’s wear out and engine breaks down
@@repairvehicle I don’t understand why he is not sharing? Has he not had a good diesel mechanic diagnosis what’s going on? If I was in his shoes, I would want to know what is going wrong!
You tilling me I should keep on driving my 2012 Ram 2500 diesel instead of buy a new 2022 Ram 2500 diesel?
If you have cash for 22, go for 22
Modern Manufacturing (especially post Covid): Price goes up, quality goes down.
I just don’t get all the manufacturers persistent changes both hardware and especially with software.
Build it right and leave it alone.
My F150 has a nearly completed update downloaded OTA. Once that is finalized, I might turn off the automatic update feature.
I had an 85 Slant six D100 the only thing that killed it was an Allen key was dropped down the carb by a mechanic...why can't they make a simple truck any more?
with emissions now..i don't know if id buy any new diesel truck..especially for personal use...... double especially at todays prices..the government killed diesel..because thats what this is... these 2022 problems are ALL about emissions dodge got in trouble for emissions now they r trying to keep the power while cutting emissions and it hasnt gone well.....Cummins needs to think of new ways to get rid of DEF and EGR and cut emissions in some other way
I just looked at the owners manual, they reccomend 10w-30 ck-4 for above 0 degrees F, 5w-40 for below 0. I remember that some people ran into issues with the 6.7 powerstroke for running 15w-40 and not 10w-30. The tighter tolerances required a thinner oil. I would think that Paul is running at least 5w-40.
My mechanic told me to run the 10W30 because of tighter tolerance and I live in Michigan so do experience the colder weather. That said, mine is in a heated barn every night too
This oil weight brought on by Cummins due to the hydraulic lifters
@@Youngmechanical low ash oil in 10w-30 is number one cause, German cars have been suffering reliability problems for decades now due low ash oil and now they are pushing same garbage on heavy duty trucks to reduce regeneration due to oil consumption
I went and looked at one of the older videos from paul and he was saying that they like the 10w30
@repairvehicle you again. I've heard you before. I'm not sure where your getting your info but if you need some explanation on the ash content and what it does I'll tell you. I've been in the industrial engine game for a while now and been through countless oil analysis with small 4cyl all the way to 20cyl engines.
I got a 22 3500 HO that was built the first week of December 21. No issues so far and hopefully it stays that way. Wonder if part of the issue is that the final Nox sensor is missing and the tuning just cant compensate. I know mine uses an amazing amout of DEF and a lot of regens so that cant be healthy for it.
A lot of def and lot of regens is to compensate for extra soot being generated by extra power.
@@repairvehicle It’s from the 22s missing a sensor so it runs def at the max level for a given input. Hopefully ram has the sensors available before too long
@@GhillieGames where you got this hoax information ram has no box sensor? While eBay sells used nox sensors for 22 ram
@@repairvehicle It was by my dealer when I ordered. And can confirm it. The last sensor is filled in with a bolt on my 16 19 and 21 have the downstream box sensor there. It was a 22 only deal and they’re supposed to contact owners when it can be put on.
I’m a salesmanager at a CDJR store in WV. And have not seen or heard of this and I own a 22 2500 Big Horn Mega Cab. Also my truck does not use an absurd amount of DEF it’s lifted 4” on 35” tires I average 16MPG and around 800 miles per gallon of DEF.
Class action lawsuit????
What symptoms Have they been showing or is it just engine lights coming on
Have you checked to see if the grid heater bolt fell off in the intake tube I seen them fall into the cylinder banks has a video on this
I’m so glad I have a 2016…. I’m sorry to hear your troubles and that rams quality control has gone to poop
You need to go pick yourself up a 22 F350. I’ve been a Ram owner for 25 years but decided to try a Ford and holy hell am I surprised. The powertrain is simply incredible and walks all over my Rams! S&S Diesel just announced a CP4 to DCR conversion so the weakest link will soon resolved! It was hard making the switch but it has been 110% easier than what I ever thought.
Show him 6.7 power stroke with 500k miles and with original engine and transmission without repairs, then he will make a switch
That's 1 of the weak links. The 10 spd. is a crap shoot, more in the favor of a failure.
@@Itsa_Mea In the 3 years it's been offered they now have it dialed in. Its one of the best features of the truck and really shows how far behind Ram is.
@@repairvehicle The 20+ 3rd Gen is a very stout and solid engine. Live I mentioned below, with the 10 spd being out for 3 years now (going on 4) they have it dialed in.
All he needs to do is buy 1 to test. What does he have to loose? It's not like Ram isn't having both engine and transmission problems, right?
@@redtitan29 I was a Superduty owner. You know why I went to RAM in 2018? NO CP4 and NO 10 spd.
My work truck is a 2019 with a 10spd. It's on its 2nd one at 78k miles. My co-workers identical truck is there now for his new trans with 94k miles. Other folks that haul for a living that i watch on tubes also fell victim to the 10spd. It's not perfected and really is unnecessary.
The Aisin 6 spd in my RAM is a performer and reliable. And theres plenty of others can tell you the same. The 10 spd, not so much if you are working a truck.
Plus the Ford Exhaust brake is a joke in comparison to RAM.
Too bad, I was hoping to see some 4.5 gen dually content. Order a 2023 Dually.
Wonder what’s different about the 22s? Seems everything is similar from 19-23.
It’s called pulling 25k-30k every day for 365 days and drivers that could careless about the equipment……idling all night….etc etc. I have not seen anyone else complaining about 22s like this guy. But hey…..his problems. Not mine
I have a 22 , ordered in July 21 which maybe an early build,
Has 27k on it ,but you have me concerned!
But what is the problem??
I highly enjoyed the power and torque the 22s have but when it comes to never letting you down I think 4th gens are the way to go. Thanks for the videos looking forward to how the 22 mega cab single axle treats you. Please keep us updated have a blessed day.
Smart man,these trucks are horrible. I almost lost my business because of my 2021 3500 ,absolute disaster RAM! I mean absolutely horrible……..
What a damn shame...a brand new truck doing the same work as your last (dozen) 4th gens, but can not handle the work. I'm surely hanging onto my 2017.
Newer is definitely NOT Better.
