I’m using 3500 dually 2018 for hotshot it’s amazing

my bosses shuddered then his tcase blew up

My 68rfe had to be rebuilt at 68k towing 4500 pounds with it.... and it took them 3 months to do it. Now at 74k miles its stuck in 4th.

We bought a Ford. In a panic stop situation going over 45mph, the damn thing would fishtail practically out of control. Happened over and over again. Had the service manager test it out and he got the same result and his answer to me was, ‘Wow…that’s serious.” You think‽!! I’ll never buy a Ford product again.

I bought a ford f350 last year had severe death wobble every time i hit a bump over 50mph or those steel dividers that are in between the bridges and highway almost got into an accident a couple times because of that. Of course a few months later I notice the upper oil pan leaking which is another common problem look it up you'll see it all over forums the robots don't put enough silicone on the corners of the oil pan. No problem just a few bolts and the pan drops right? nope need to remove the entire transmission thousands of dollars just to reseal an oil pan. traded the truck in at around 50k miles have a cummins now I think its hit or miss with ford or ram I wish Toyota made a 1 ton diesel with a cummins.

Big mistake❤

She Gone!

Truck Is sold about 2 years ago, But I keep looking back at another one. I've got the mod list already burning a hole in my pocket lol

Pick Away

@@jaysejones4056 after all this time and under a load how much would you recommend it

PHP Programer, Riff Raff Intake, and exhaust. I made this video shortly after installing the GT38R Turbo but in my opinion the bigger turbo pushing more volume reduced the amount of smoke at the tailpipe, which I personally liked better.

Rolling coal will burn your pistons

I agree! Just sold this truck and bought another one with the AISIN Because it's treated me well.

Yeah Pretty much. I will say though since upgrading trucks camping trips are much more..... Peaceful! lol Exhaust and turbo whistle are fun around town but Load up the wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a four hour drive and it will take it out of you.

I would go f350. Hotshot truckers always seem to use them

Tough Call Buddy. I would say just drive them both and make your decision. Ford will get you up the hill Faster. Ram will save you a few penny's at the pump but its honestly negligible unless your a hot shot trucker. Only reason I buy Ram is in my opinion the exhaust brake when loaded in unmatched by Gm and Ford. I run a 42' Camper with SXS in the back and the stability and ability's to hold speed descending on a grade without me having white knuckles is how I based my decision.

Sorry to Hear that buddy. Luckily I was in and out in about 10 Mins with the software flash. In its nature the AISIN is a harder shifting transmission than say a 68RE, But this was shaking the whole truck and me when shifting. Hope you find a solution. I ran my 2018 for 30k more miles after reflash without any issues.

After the Software Update she was good to go. Ran the truck till about 50K Then bought a new one.

Madoz That’s Crazy prior to purchasing this truck I could t find one person complaining about the Aisin. Looks like they have some issues. Hopefully mine keeps on chugging!! Thanks for the Sub!

would be close to 10k if not for warranty@@jaysejones4056

250 ,degrees , .transmission you?

Vitiello Contacting I’m at 28,500 nod with no issues thus far.

I had a similar problem with same truck. Just got software updated and it fixed my problem. I’ve put a thousand or so miles on it since and works great. Thanks for the video

Your not gonna see any gainz without tuning and larger injectors

I called my tuner PHP and they said that there are no specific tuning changes required with the turbo. I was on stock sticks.

B&S Transport HotShot Yes sir it was just a software update. Covered under warranty.

My truck is literally doing the same thing …. Sounds, feeling … but not so much high RPMS

Clay Barnes Thank you.

No new issues with the transmission? Because I just got one, less than 600 miles but no towing yet. How is that you did not see this software issue before? Did it happen after you started towing heavy stuff ?

David Maldonado No new issues all is well since the flash. I didn’t see it needed a software update because it was shifting perfect, then out of nowhere just started to lug into gear. Sounds like it may be a pretty common issue based on my phone conversation with the dealer.

@@jaysejones4056 wow. And it got resolved with a software update. My truck just got a service error due to the traction control. They just told me that ram is rolling out a new software this quarter to fix the issue. Software and more software...

David Maldonado Yeah I hear ya.. I’d love to say I miss my Old 7.3 Powerstroke with less electronics, but In reality these newer trucks are night and day on towing capacity and safety.

I had a 2017 ram 2500 with the 68. I bought it new. Traded it with 65000 miles because that trans. And the rest diff. I was not pleased at all and dodge wouldn’t touch it.

@steve Arrington The problem is I haven’t seen any one truck stand out. The price point on these Rams for a work truck is unparalleled. Was this issue somewhat annoying yes! Would I have had a similar problem with Ford or Gm? Hard to say. We’re back on the road and I do like the way this Cummins pulls thus far.

I have the same problem with my Ram. Dealer said it's normal and there's nothing they could do about it. Were you able to get yours fixed? If so what was the problem.

Barnett Jordan- Yes they did a software update on the computer and she’s back to normal again.

@@jaysejones4056 Thanks Jayse for responding

Jerod B They were 33x12.50x18

allyn bubolz I wonder why your EGTs went up? That’s one of the main benefits I saw on mine, egts went way down compared to stock. Do you have upgraded injectors? What’s your mods?

FUEL TANK SUMP TO HIGH PRESSURE DOG UPLIFT FUEL BOWL SPRING 70 PSI BANKS AIR SYSTEM BANKS BIG MOUTH WITH 4 INCH EXHAUST CONVERTER REMOVED NEW CONNECTORS FOR ALL TURBO RELATED TUBES UPGRADED UP PIPES ALL CONNECTIONS TIGHT REG INJECTORS JUMPED THE TUNE TO 75 HP STG TUNER / OD AT ALMOST 500 K THINKING ABOUT NEW INJECTORS EVEN THOUGH THEY PASS ALL TESTING PARAMETERS, EMAILED TODAY RUDY'S DIESEL TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY INPUT ALSO @@jaysejones4056

I wanted to get them on my excursion, but they add like 1-2 inches of lift so I never ordered them, how are yours holding up

Mine are holding up so far, I've been told to keep the salt off as much as possible so it doesn't deteriorate the rubber components.

John Vande Vusse Great trucks just needed something newer for my business!

Yup she’s gone unfortunately. Went for a 2018 ram 6.7 Cummins.

Lj Bara Stock injectors!

Built for The Wild This turbo tends to run at lower boost levels than stock. That being said I can get the turbo to 26 PSI if I lay into it. Maybe check for boost leaks and make sure your waste gate is operating correctly and not letting off early.

I read reviews from riffraff saying you have to adjust the wastegate actuator to get more boost

Nvm just finished listening lol

@@markwalters4643 NO I did not! Big Mistake! Cost me $1,500! Do it Right the first time lesson learned.

After a little Time I did fall in love with it. I am realizing I never made a follow up video I will do that tomorrow. I have the HPX kit which connects the oil on the heads. I think because had to remove that line to install the turbo I introduced some Air into the heads effecting my performance. After a few days the truck ran great!

Thanks for the Comment

Yes It has the stock transmission. It was rebuilt at 100K with the ford heavy duty trans. No slippage or issues whats so ever. I will say I baby the truck pretty well and almost never hot rod.
