PD Diesel Power it is man, I’m young myself but my grandfather has a 2005 2500 Cummins and the only issues he ever had with the trans is 2 solenoids and it’s got well over 300k on it now
I love your truck! I have a 2015 RAM 2500 Laramie Mega Cab but I don't tow anything at all...it's my daily driver. I have the 6.4 Liter Hemi with 4.10 diffs. I have almost 88k miles and have not had any issues to mention. The only two things that I would ask that RAM change is to make the fuel tank 45 gallons. Also, the "projector beam halogen" headlights are, in my opinion, for shit. I have changed the bulbs to 9011 "HIR" bulbs which is "Halogen Infrared Reflector" and they put out about 50% more light than the stock bulbs. I had also put a 2.5" leveling kit on and now the combination of the higher aim of the headlights and the upgraded bulbs have greatly improved my night driving. I like the RAM lineup and am following the new iteration that's coming out but I plan on driving my truck for as long as possible...another 10 years hopefully. I'm glad that you're having such good luck with yours too. Thank you for your excellent and informative videos!! Regards, Tom
What do you mean by after treatment? I drive Powerstroke but wouldn’t count out the idea of owning a HD Ram because of the great reliability or the Cummins and Aisin trans.
hey i seen you have the led thrid brake light. I did not know these where available on the 2014 models...do you have the cargo camera that shows up on your screen? and do you have the bumper camera on screen as well?
The flat bed is a great idea but, don't do alum.. Go steel instead. Alum. Has so much fatigue and you'd be tig welding all the time. Just have wood side bords and some ratchet straps and so much more versatile then a regular box bed. I wish that I could show you my truck and its set up. God bless you and your family brother!
Yea i just bought a 2015 dually larimie with 225,000 miles on it. Towed a trailer that was carrying other trailers, it to has a 68rfe in it and i too still use it today and it runs like its new. Guy took very good care, i mean good, My seats look better then yours i think. Completly stock to
Maybe try xpel to protect your bumper? Helps quite a bit, alittle pricey depending how much of the vehicle you do but can save you a repaint on the bumper later on.
Hey Paul. In another of your videos you said something about your tuner. I just recently got a truck just like yours but a 2015 in black. I know you said before that Ryan was your tuner, is he still offering tunes? I’ve tried contacting him but never get a response back. I want to eventually delete mine. Just want a mind tune like your 30 hp you use since I’ve got an aisin. If Ryan isn’t offering street driven tunes anymore who would you use? I tow 15k about once a week in the spring/summer/early fall months so I can’t trust just any tuner. Seems like most focus on making tunes to go fast.
Chrysler transmissions have always been way ahead of their time. The fluid technology was always way behind. If maintained correctly they can out last yours and your fathers lives.
PD Diesel Power tried email wouldn’t go through. Mine is kevinmkellyelectric1@hotmail.com It’s off a 17 ram 2500 had like 10 k on it when I replaced it with a limnited grill
I believe the saddle leather is better than the plastic leather (Pleather) of the Laramie. The Limited are heated/cooled in the front, and heated in the back. I like the leather feel of the console under my arm vs a plastic console that makes my arm sweat. It's hard to go from a limited back to a Laramie.
PD Diesel Power. I understand. So if they used a v8 diesel you wouldn't buy one?? I was just curious because I've never met anyone that said they would still buy a Ram if it had a diesel they Ram built. They only bought it because it has a Cummins.
Justin Schooler it's made in Mexico lol. Well I owned 2 fairly recently and both had issues. But that was only my experience. Just like I know people that I've had them and they haven't had any issues.
Justin Schooler damn that sucks. My 2015 Ram 3500 the transmission and transfer case both broke at the same time and 2 weeks after I got it back the rear end went out. In total it cost me $15,000. Lucky me lol
Alex Guzman I have a coworker that has a new limited ecoboost and loves it. F150 is the top selling vehicle in the US (I’m not a ford fan by far). He bought the first ecoboost and had issues. Then bought the second (after license plate mount was moved due to turbo issues) and loved it. Decided he wanted the coyote 5.0 which worked fine for what he pulls (18’ inclosed). Just bought the new limited eco and swears it’s better then the last few and in love. I had the last 5.3 and have alway owned GM products till... I blew the same cylinder two times, the 3rd time they blamed a different cylinder and it cost me out the a$$! I now have an 05 cummins that I have a quarter million miles on it with few issues at all. Last 150k running on a 100hp tune. I pull around 11k here and there but the power is there when needed. Now that being said... The ecoboost gets around 14-15mpg and my gauge says I’m getting 22 but the calculator says 14.6. So check what truck you need for what you’re going to be using it for. Diesel is a bit more on pretty much everything, but in the long run I feel it has saved me plenty.
Alex Guzman F-150 is the best combination between work and comfort capabilities. Chevys are good but a little soft for my liking. Ram 1500 coil springs are a joke and they’re a little sluggish but fine besides that. Find the one you like and drive the hell out of it
Alex Guzman For the most part. That said, I do love my 2018 F150 with the 5.0. It rides nice and has really good power and has some great features. I can’t speak for towing yet because it has just under 200 miles and you’re not supposed to tow until you 1,000 miles but my 2016 pulled well so I wouldn’t about the same. But yeah, drive all three and see which one you like the best!
hello I could use some help. krugerconcrete.com need to find a dispatcher person for this winter. I am wanting to use the company concrete trucks(1 tons) only in the winter months to haul stuff long distances not local, to keep some of the guys busy when concrete is not being poured. maybe you have some advise on how to go about finding a great dispatch guy to find me lanes and loads. Or maybe that could be you. Really have learned a lot in your videos. You saved me from buying a 68rfe that was a good deal. The 68rfe are junk compared to the Aisin.
I have a 2012 3500 srw with 68rfe. Has been pulling 3 car wedge and plowing snow it's whole life. So far no problems at 115k now..
Must be the young guys pushing the skinny pedal to hard that's costing them there transmission
PD Diesel Power it is man, I’m young myself but my grandfather has a 2005 2500 Cummins and the only issues he ever had with the trans is 2 solenoids and it’s got well over 300k on it now
hey man....good to know...i'm trying to decide which eng/trans model to get...thanks.
The chrome looks GREAT. I wouldn't change the grill for anything.
Jack J i agree!! Stay with the chrome
sweet and beautiful truck.

Perfect timing. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2016 2500 Limited, this just convinced me it’s worth the premium over the Laramie for sure!
Beautiful truck man.
What do you mean by after treatment? I drive Powerstroke but wouldn’t count out the idea of owning a HD Ram because of the great reliability or the Cummins and Aisin trans.
the DPF/SCR systems on the truck
Guess i lucked out with my 68? 90k and shes issue free
How do you pass dot inspection with no emissions.
Couldn’t agree more with the all oem too!
Nice looking truck. Great color
For the color matched door handles you can buy the 1500 version that already comes paint matched from ram. See you on the next one.
At the end did you say to stick with an AISIN transmission?
how do you care for the fleet in the winter running on salt covered roads? constant pressure wash?
What's the color code on this truck
hey i seen you have the led thrid brake light. I did not know these where available on the 2014 models...do you have the cargo camera that shows up on your screen? and do you have the bumper camera on screen as well?
The flat bed is a great idea but, don't do alum.. Go steel instead. Alum. Has so much fatigue and you'd be tig welding all the time.

Matt McDermott True, Aluminium is a great material when you need lightness , not toughness.
I have the same truck. What is your setup with level kit and tire size? Looks good.
Yea i just bought a 2015 dually larimie with 225,000 miles on it. Towed a trailer that was carrying other trailers, it to has a 68rfe in it and i too still use it today and it runs like its new. Guy took very good care, i mean good, My seats look better then yours i think. Completly stock to
Maybe try xpel to protect your bumper? Helps quite a bit, alittle pricey depending how much of the vehicle you do but can save you a repaint on the bumper later on.
Any issues with the electronics in the centre radio ?
What brand of bug deflector did you go with? Any idea of the part number?
Hey Paul. In another of your videos you said something about your tuner. I just recently got a truck just like yours but a 2015 in black.
I know you said before that Ryan was your tuner, is he still offering tunes? I’ve tried contacting him but never get a response back. I want to eventually delete mine.

great truck set up. Quick question of why 3.42 gearing instead of EG: 4.10?
It's a good truck if you can get rid of the exhaust after treatment. So that makes it no good for hotshot.
What is the size of ur wheels and tires and also the brand of the wheel and tire?
Aisin are from Toyota and Chrysler Transmissions are good still man
What kind of fuel mileage do you get compared to a 5.9?
Chrysler transmissions have always been way ahead of their time. The fluid technology was always way behind. If maintained correctly they can out last yours and your fathers lives.
Absolutely paint the grill that’s all it needs left!
Are the steps after market? If they are, where did you get them and the hood deflector? Thanks--enjoy your videos!!
Why do you always have the 8 foot beds
Have you ever thought about putting a full air suspension on the back, like a Kelderman system?
Nope. Never thought about it.
How did you do the eld and tuner??
This is my personal truck right now. So no eld in it
Where do you buy your trucks from?
Paul I got a color match grill had sport appearance package and I changed it for new limited grill. Let me know if you want it
I would like it. Email me at theamgcummins@gmail.com.
PD Diesel Power tried email wouldn’t go through. Mine is kevinmkellyelectric1@hotmail.com
It’s off a 17 ram 2500 had like 10 k on it when I replaced it with a limnited grill
6.7 l?
Is it bad to run a tune on my 2007 6.7 because I am looking to buy a bully dog tuner for it
Tuner contribute to breaking stuff. Just adding more fuel, rpm and timing is a recipe for disaster. If you mod go with banks kits.
Enlighten me as to the difffrences in your Limited seats and my Laramie seats
I believe the saddle leather is better than the plastic leather (Pleather) of the Laramie. The Limited are heated/cooled in the front, and heated in the back. I like the leather feel of the console under my arm vs a plastic console that makes my arm sweat. It's hard to go from a limited back to a Laramie.
* tile, not granite =)
Stay with the chrome. All that color matching everything is getting old.
Expel the front
Just a curious question if Dodge/Ram did not have a Cummins and they just used a diesel they made would you still buy a Dodge/Ram?? Thanks
All depends if it were a inline 6 design. The engine (cummins) is what got me to invest into the ram trucks. There just mini tractors. :)
PD Diesel Power. I understand. So if they used a v8 diesel you wouldn't buy one?? I was just curious because I've never met anyone that said they would still buy a Ram if it had a diesel they Ram built. They only bought it because it has a Cummins.

Justin Schooler yep then the 2014 Ram 2500 the engine blew and of course it was out of warranty. So I sold it as is
F150 or ram1500 or Chevy 1500

RAM!!! Those rockers are hideous though.
Yes, color match it all. Chrome is ugly.
