I’m going to slap your mouth if I ever hear you say “shits and gigs” again.

"How bad looking are these?" "This truck looks so bad with these." Lol

You'd be surprised if you kept your speed to about 68-70 how much better mpg you will get. Even empty, the trailer catches a lot of wind drag,. Consider putting an aerodynamic nose cap on to help. At 70, I'm gonna guess you will get at least 12.

I've been running EDT and notice no difference whatsoever in my Cummins. I'm ready to try something different.

The main reason I won’t go to GMC is at Ford and Ram uses solid front axle for the four-wheel-drive and GMC’s independent suspension and I don’t think this is strong enough for a heavy duty 1 ton truck

Wrap the truck black instead of buying a new truck lol

Bought these for my 2019 Ram 1500 ecodiesel 2 years ago at 65k and now at almost 130k there is still plenty of tread left to go way past the 70k limited warranty!

There’s no way I want to pay anything more than 65 k on a f350 6.7 lariat srw crew cab

You are kind of an ass aren't you.

So i have your same truck , now with 22000mi here where I’m at on MPG empty 17mpg / load with my 5th wheel 9.6 - 10.2 mpg DEF consumption is 887 to 1050mi per gallon

Like your videos 👍

Related but unrelated to your towing test; how do you feel the exhaust brake is, towing the trailer, in the Duramax compared to the Cummins you had? I've always thought the Cummins exhaust brake is stronger than others.

I wonder how that kid is doing

Good choice. Love my ram but they put the hydraulic lifters in and my 2022 is getting a conversion now. 5000 out of pocket. Sad.

I agree with you . The road noise is awful on all the all terrains. There are no quiet AT tires that look like an off road tire. I’m tired of the noise. Going to the Michelin next .KO2 are too noisy and too much vibration

GOOD LUCK! Just sold my 2023 Denali Duramax due to engine failure, paint quality was horrible..

Such a big truck for a little trailer

Get a power stroke dually

I listen to a lot of Jazz and it is fantastic. Throw in some AIC and it is not. I get wanting to upgrade.

Unfortunately, that's the design flaw of the Bose stereo system. The system doesn't give you the sound separation of traditional stereo speakers because there is no tweeter/woofer separation. The system is basically made up of full range speakers in your doors and not separate woofers and tweeters.

You just jealous that gmc can tow more than your ram

Get real #Ford

Looks like excessive wear on the outside of the front tires…

Shim it

Looks like the trailer sits very low. Could be a challenge maneuvering, in and out of gas stations, off road.

5:58 my two 2024 f250 limited trucks easily return 22.4 mpg unloaded running 75 on highways. Ram and GM both need to loose a lot of weight to catch up with Fords HO powerstroke. I owned a 24 ram 2500 limited longhorn Cummins for about 7 months and found it to be inferior in so many aspects compared to 23+ MY Fords. Worse mpg by 2.75, beautiful interior but cramped, seats you want to look at but not sit in very long, a skinny little armrest that was laughable, doppy feeling body roll because of the heavy steel skin, excellent sound system with too much bass at all times, no telescope wheel meant you cannot get adjusted right for long trips, tilt wheel adjustment was wayyy too limited (5 preset notches total?) and a very harsh ride even with factory air in back. I also found the Ram AC to be not quite enough output to keep cab comfortable on 90+ degree days. I did like the sound of the Cummins and I loved the smoothness of the 68RFE. If they made one more gear in that tranny, they’d have a winner I think. Minuses in my 5000 mile ownership included a rear crank seal oil leak at 2700 miles and lousy trade in value compared to the numerous diesel Fords I’ve traded in over the past 6 years.

Definitely is way too much for the 68rfe tranny.

Agree! 👍

Long live the 4th gens ❤️

I believe that increasing the longetivity and reliability of these engines for 2025 is to go to flat tappet cam rollers instead of these recent 2019 and above hydraulic roller from engineer viewpoint, their is many failure of hydraulic roller failing in warranty and out of warranty, they should also fix the grid heater bolt issue as well and do a revamp bank power ram intake 2025 future development of the 6.7 cummins. Prevent 6.7 cummins from having fuel dilution in the oil from over regen too much than usual. Just my take.

It can carry more that’s light work

2022 2500 6.7. Tappets failed at 27k miles. Engine was ticking from 7k. Dealership was just throwing parts at the engine before they pulled the cab.

Couldn't agree more with what you said. I would rather see them stick with the 6.7 and push reliablity out of it. I'd love for them to do something like Navistar did with the new S13 and elminiate the EGR and go with a non VGT turbo while still meeting emissions standards. There is a lot of potential with that 6.7. As for transmission, I think the 8 speed is a good happy medium between 10 speed and 6 speed. Personally I think the new 10 speeds hunt too much. I'd also like to see 4 corner air suspension on the heavy dutys, with semi style single convoluted air bags. But you touched upon the single biggest point in my eyes, the fuel tank size. The factory 31 gallon tank does not cut it. I would really like to see some larger options for those that travel a lot.

Just installed in my 2024 Denali. Very happy with the purchase and only took 2 hours to install. Could have done quicker, but just took my time. If you do it yourself or have it installed, I highly recommend getting a role of tesa tape (match factory) to tape up the main wire bundle where you tap into the speaker wire. I doubt the dealer does, and at best they might use the basic electrical tape. Service book only calls for 45 min to 1 hour, so they are not going to take any extra steps for quality install.

NO.......DO NOT increase the GVWR of the 2500. Has to stay under 10,000 for commercial insurance purposes.....just like they have it now. Just switched back to a Ram to get away from the damn 11,400 GVWR of the GMC.

Don't worry about brands just get what does what you need it to the best.

The price tag

All they did was put lipstick on an old pig and charge more. The other big brands had full redesigns. Not spending that much for a 10 year old truck. 😂

The AISIN Transmission on my 2022 Ram 3500 with 19,700 miles left us stranded, and it would not engage into Drive. This happened 160 miles from home. Ram would only tow it to the nearest dealership, not near us. If we wanted to take it to the dealership near us, we would have to pay $1,800 out of pocket. The truck has been in the dealership for over 3 Months; it took RAM forever to approve the Transmission replacement. I'm still waiting for the truck, and still have to see if they did a good job on the repairs.

I'm tired of the horsepower wars...they need to focus on two things and thats it...efficiency and reliability. I'd like to also see them offer an option for a package that lowers the truck especially on the 3500 and up duallies. A small percentage of folks buy a dually and actually take it off road on a regular basis. Most are using them for hotshot work, and there's a lot of garage queens that mostly only come out for pulling the rv cross country. A hybrid system to assist/and sometimes replace the exhaust brake would be awesome. If you want to leave it idling for climate control purposes you could use the battery to maintain that, and the battery could assist for driving as well. If you are going to be idling for a short time like 5-10 minutes, you could put it in high idle to make the engine more efficient emissions wise and use that extra rpm from the high idle to charge the battery. There's a lot of stuff they could do rather than horsepower wars.

THATS MY GUY!!❤

You hit the nail on the head buddy with all your thoughts.....I would also like to see a SINGLE fuel filter (not two).

3,55 will not happen my srw 3500 with 3.73 at 60 rpm s like 1100 it would be around 900 with 3.55 the ram 3500 kills my f350 srw on mpg and towing my 17k fifth wheel . i wish you could get 4.10s in the SRWs might drop my hwy mpg from 25 to 24 mpg

👍

on the highway you get more MPG than in city's or towns

I had a 2024 Chevy DRW with the GM Gooseneck ball (Curt) and it did not have any slop.

diesel sucks on short drives but when you go on a long drive youll see how efficent it is.

Whats the name of it??

Funny enough, in terms of MPG, "decent" and "descent" mpg mean the same thing.

Quality products are a thing of the past, especially here in America.
