I will admit I am not familiar with the spec of the fuel filters that Ram has been using but what you may not realize is that on most heavy equipment and highway tractor applications they use two filters and its done for a very good reason. The first filter that the fuel from the fuel tank enters is typically a courser filter media but is a water separating type of filter that also has a drain on the spin on filter. Then the second or "final" fuel filter has a very fine micron filtering media. Me personally, I am not a fan at all of the cartridge filter rather than the spin on filter. its typically a lot easier and less issues to spin off a filter and install a new one. And so if you look at a Fass fuel pump system for an example, there is a reason why they use two spin on filters for all the reasons I laid out here.
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.
Forgot to add the hybrid system would also tremendously cut down on brake maintenence. Even if they chose not to have the hybrid power the drive train, they could switch to electric powered alternator, ac compressor, etc and the engine would have much less parasitic load. Also could eliminate the two 12v batteries by just running the hybrid battery power through a converter.
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.
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.
I couldnt agree more that I think the 10 speeds are just to busy for a pickup truck. Its more gears than are truly needed and these trucks have so much power they just dont really need more than 8 I would say. I love the whole S13 set up which is just a Scania engine, its what I want everyone to move towards in the future
@@JakesTruckandTrailers If they can mimic the S13 with the 6.7 cummins, it would blow the competition out of the water. And hopefully give us the desired efficiency and problem free aftertreatment. Scania has some well tested engines. I also forgot to mention, you touched upon a good point regarding the current compression. I'd like to see them maintain the higher compression, it shoudl be doable. With my 3500 SO SRW 3.73 gears, I can feather it to 23mpg (hand calculated) unloaded on a trip running 70mph. One of my favorite things about the truck.
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.
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. 😂
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.
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

Don't worry about brands just get what does what you need it to the best.
You hit the nail on the head buddy with all your thoughts.....I would also like to see a SINGLE fuel filter (not two).
