  • I review the RAM 3500 Cummins Diesel High Output Diesel Engine and compare it to the Standard Output Cummins diesel engine in the RAM 2500 truck platform. I discuss power figures, max towing capacities, fuel economy, emission and compare pros and cons between both drivelines in each truck. I also discuss pricing differences which may surprise a lot of people when buying these trucks.

    I hope everyone is having a good week. I got my hands on this beautiful ram 3500 limited with the High Output 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. I've been wanting to compare this high output to the standard output Cummins engine for a while and so I put 14,000lbs behind this big truck to see how it does.
    the summer I towed with a RAM 2500 Cummins and was a little disappointed with the performance on my towing test loop. it felt like the 6 speed transmission was holding the truck back. so I figured we would see if this higher powered Cummins engine could really do the work.
    The biggest thing that I like about this HO Cummins engine is the transmission that comes behind it. the Aisin 6 speed transmission is a very HD unit and and that alone is worth the extra price of this engine.
    I hope you liked the video!

    I bought a 23’ HO dually this past summer. I’ve had duramax’s previously and have driven powerstrokes too. I drive commercially for a living and this is the closest thing to a commercial truck setup. The prices ram have set made it tough to justify a basic work truck compared to a loaded with leather ford or gm but if you are looking for a true work truck you can’t beat these. I have zero brand bias but can say I’ve been extremely impressed with the fit and finish and overall truck. The gauges on the display are so well thought out and definitely designed by people who tow and haul. Thanks for all of your wonderful content and expertise with your reviews.

    I have a 2021 H/O SRW and ABSOLUTELY agree with you on the exhaust break! it's impressive.

    Great video. I have a 2022 3500 HO SRW 3.73s and I pull a 14,000# 39 foot fifth wheel camper.
    I've found when towing with the cruise set at 70mph and going up hills that the truck tries to hold 6th gear too long then wants to drop to 4th. So, I've learned to drop it to 5th using the gear selector button when approaching hills and rarely does it have to drop to 4th to maintain speed unless it's an extremely steep hill.
    In fact, I find myself getting in the fast lane and passing cars going up hill. No patience for priuses slowing me down 😂!

If you roll your foot into the accelerator & allow the transmission to do its thing it is very smooth. If you treat it like a sports car you’ll be very unhappy. Use my 21 Longhorn Limited with the HO Cummins & Aisin as a daily driver & pull a 40’ 15,000 pound fifth wheel. It’s a great truck. The exhaust brake is truly phenomenal as Alex said!

    I have a 2022 RAM 3500 Dually, HO Cummins, and it's only used to haul our camper. Our 5th wheel is just shy of 17K lbs, with a pin weight of almost 3500lbs. With the extra couple hundred pounds for the hitch, a SRW 3500 would have been pretty much maxed out on the cargo. That's why I went Dually, with a cargo capacity of almost 5400lbs. Zero worries, and it pulls our 43 ft 5th wheel like a boss. We went from PEI to Cape Breton last summer, and some of those large hills on the new highway were a breeze. The exhaust brake did exactly as it should, and the up hill torque was great! My dad was a trucker for over 50 years, so I've been around big trucks all my life. And this thing pulls hard for sure!

    Traded my 2018 Ram Dually Tradesman in on a new 2024 Ram Laramie Dually HO. Can't wait to tow my 40' Toy Hauler to Utah this fall. I came from Ford F250, and after towing with my Ram, I haven't regretted it one bit. I'm 100% sold on RAM. What I have noticed without towing, it seemed like my 2018 had a quicker get up and go than the 2024. After you giving specs, I'm assuming it is because the boost seems to stay low unless I mash on it. Seems like a lot more lag now. Does that make sense that since the Compression ratio is lower it would lag more under same acceleration? Thanks for the great video!

    I've noticed that these trucks don't like to stay at your cruise speed all the time, even when going uphill and even unladen. The couple of times I've driven my mom's 19' 2500 with the Cummins I've noticed that when I've got the cruise on and start climbing a hill (without anything behind the truck bear in mind,) it likes to sit 1 or 2 mph below my set cruise speed. Not sure why it does that since I've driven other Ram and other FCA products and they'll all hold you at your set speed.
    Just something I thought of while watching you climb the hill and talk about this and the S.O. performance up the hill.

    Hi, I'm a diesel mechanic from Ontario. To explain the cruise control, I believe Cummins call it "Cruise Control Upper/Lower Droop" you can play with these settings with Insite for large trucks (I don't work much with pickup trucks).
    Lower Droop: allows the vehicle to speed up above the cruise control speed during downhill operation. This is done to gain momentum and take advantage of gravity to lower fuel economy after leveling out from the downhill drive.
    Upper Droop: allows the vehicle's speed to drop below the cruise control set speed as load increases such as climbing a hill. The reason for this is also fuel economy, the engine won't boost up and use a lot of fuel on hill climbs. This is why your speed never reaches 110kph climbing up even though the truck is well capable of doing so!

    On the hill you'd ne better off not flooring it I've found... The torque falls off pretty quick with RPM. Ive found it pulls harder around 77 when it upshifts than around 73 in 4th. The cruise was happy with it accelerating, albeit slowly. The only downside to the 3500 is that it rides like absolute shit unloaded

    • @TheGettyAdventures
      @TheGettyAdventures  Před 5 měsíci

      Honestly I didn't find the ride that bad unloaded. I mean ya higher rpms isn't where this engine shines but I was upset that she was not feeding full boost into the engine. figured that was a good way to get max boost.

    Great Powertrain! I have an older ('14) Ram 3500 HO / Aisin and love the performance. I would like to compare a new one with the higher HP and torque numbers along with the better gearing (3.42 vs 3.73) but with the prices of new trucks, I will not tempt feeling the need to upgrade! Not to mention, with only 50,000 miles on my '14, it is just getting broken in! I am curious what the new EPA mandated reprogramming might do to my trucks performance. Maybe you can take on this topic and give us your thoughts.

      I've had both 6.7's and the Ford is faster and rides better unloaded. The 10spd shifts smooth and the truck pulls extremely hard.

      no recalls for the fifth gens. only 2013-2018 trucks had defeat devices on them. 2019+ fully met emissions. the issues was they did not fully reveal all software to EPA, which resulted in a penalty. but no recall.

      I have a 2019 3500 Limited HO/Aisen, and I believe they did the VB6 recall on mine in 2020 according to my Ram app, and the recall notice without the big Fanfare going on about the $1.7 Billion dollar fine that Cummins caught. When I got the truck back from the dealer then, I did notice it wasn’t as peppy, with my test being an entry ramp onto the expressway that whenever I get on, I always punch it, and it would zoom to 90 MPH and allow me to merge without so much as a hiccup, but now seems a little less peppy, and definitely more DEF use.

    The Ram cruise control sucks for towing. It’s slow to downshift either climbing or when descending hills to use the exhaust brake. Manual shifting shows the capability much better.

    The current Federal Government through the EPA is going to look to lower the boom on all the Cummins Engines that were part of “diesel gate” I’m afraid. What’s worse, I could see a state like California going so far as to impose fines on owners who fail to complete the recall, or impounding the trucks altogether. They’re completely crazy over this stuff and the inmates are definitely free to run the asylum. Question is, how bad are the impacts of the changes going to be?
