Insurance video, please. Also, if Ram doesn't know about you, then their customer relations people are failing. Paul, with how many trucks you have bought from them and how many miles you have put on those trucks needs to be recognized by Ram. You'd think they'd be having you a test bed for these trucks. Have a blessed day, Paul.
Not sure if Grenada writes truck insurance but their the absolute worst for commercial auto. I ended up with them after the next best offer was double what theirs was and now I know why.
Thank you for spending the time making all these videos. So informative! Any chance why you wouldn't pick up a ram 4500? I wonder if the detuned Cummins would be more reliable.
I have a 2022 ram 3500 6.7 with Aison. One of the desiding factors for buying this truck was watching your channel. I just started doing oil analysis and first oil analysis was a little high in Iron wear and little high in a few other things but im keeping a close eye on it for now. It's has 30k miles on it and Shell Rotella 5w 40 and changed every 5k miles. My biggest complaint is when towing and in tow haul mode it down shifts very harshly, like reving up to 2800 RPM on down shift when slowing down. I don't like that I don't like the way this thing is tuned. I am a 20 year LTL truck driver so I know a little.
What filter are you running? It shifts like that in tow/haul mode because the exhaust brake has much more retarding power at higher RPMs. IMO it feels much less harsh with the exhaust brake on, although I’m coming from an older 68RFE.
I have a 2022 ram 2500 cummins. Bought it in May of 22 the trans starting ticking in October around 15k miles. Dropped it off at the dealer they replaced it with a reman in a week. November came around started ticking again and the low Coolant light came on the same day. Dropped it off again. They replaced egr cooler and the trans is on hold to replace till the recall for the trans comes in. Truck has 26k on it now still has a ticking transmission and has 5 recalls now and the dealer said the parts are on order for all the recalls. The dealer is waiting on the parts to come in is what they told me last week.
@@illestk24civic I agree, they used to be competitive but no more. Looked at a new 22 Ram 1500 in June, went home and did some research and found a 23 for $2500 less on the internet in ND. Plane ticket and a nice drive back to Spokane was worth it. I bought numerous vehicles from DS over the years and found out 3 years ago they were dishonest, gave my sales rep another chance this year and he blew it. They may be the biggest, but not the best anymore....
@@illestk24civicthey were good to me. Saved me some money and took care of some aftermarket stuff on the truck for reasonable prices. I think Dave Smith did OK for my purchase
Have you had any 19-21 trucks with lifter failure? My 2020 5500 built date 02-20 has some real rough cold idle. Worse the longer it sits, worse the colder it gets.
Your the reason lol you are the reasons customer asked not to what you do and your crew did what i said not to and ive have had this happen just cus it has a turbo doesn't give you the right
Nope, just traded my 2017 f350 for a new 2023 Ram 3500 high ouput diesel. The super duty seems light on its feet but not stable when going 70 to 90 miles per hour. My new Ram is very planted on the ground even at 95 miles per hour high wind in the Nevada desert. The aluminum body of the ford makes it lighter but easily side sweep by a high wind in the desert. No regrets and as well as the engine brake is a night and day difference, the Ram will hold my 43 feet 20k toy hauler going down a 10% grade for a relax drive and driving is very enjoyable...lol.
Superduty has to much power for these old Ram fans and just keeping yapping like a coyote "It's broke but it's the best" "We'll find a solution" You can't polish a turd It's really hilarious listening to Ram fans delusional as a woke feminist

I would also be very interested in hearing this!

I have a 2022 thankfully only issue so far is an internal dpf filter crack. Which it’s getting replaced this week. 157,000 miles on her
Yeah the rest of us that only buy one truck get bent over. good for you and your experience. love the channel as always.
Paul i bought a 22 an been following this closely i am concernd any info you can give me is appreciated.thank god you are a stand up guy
Great video Paul. Insurance video when you get a chance👍
I just watched the Diesel Podcast talking about block fretting on the fifth gens causing rod bearing failures. Have you had any rod bearing failures?

I cut my oil filters and inspect for debris. It could help you early identify any issues or help with peace of mind.
@aaronkelley8909 that's a good idea I will try that next time.

Do you do your own service to your fleets or pay at a certified place to do the service?
would love to hear you do an insurance video i am waiting my man
All these all the HO? Wonder if the SO engines have this problem also. Also hearing cummins may have messed up with cgi blocks
I guess im wondering if the 23s or 24s r any better..

Best thing u could do is delete the emissions off of it. And buy a randys built 68rfe transmission
Paul have you tried anything with Dave smith in Kellogg? They are the largest dealer in the US for Ram.
Dave Smith is a joke

Rams customer service is outsourced, to a company in Texas, been there done that, its all about who you get on the other end of the line.
Have you had any 19-21 trucks with lifter failure? My 2020 5500 built date 02-20 has some real rough cold idle. Worse the longer it sits, worse the colder it gets.
Do you use the higher idle setting? I have a 17 5500 that has been good, and over 1k idle hours.
@e.l.9589 truck does not idle much, for warm up ya we use high idle.
Hey Paul those 22 Rams was HO output?
That's all he buys because they come with the Aisin.
Also do you recommend full synthetic oil in the 22 or conventional oil
I run 10w30 rottela
@@pddieselpower🤔 In the past I thought you said you run Schaffers?
@@pddieselpowerRotella T5 or the new T6 full synthetic?
Paul do you know if the water pump for the 2018 fit the 5th gin engines
Yes they do
Thanks Paul I appreciate the answer
What is causing the lifter failure?
Metals used. Start to delaminate. For a while I was thinking oil. But now confirmed for myself it’s a metals issue
No one has the time or money to get the runaround from corporate.
Are all 4 engines 3500 HO?
He sticks to the HO with the Aisin so I would say so.
That’s a relief. My 22 is a 2500 with no issues.
Being an H.O. isn't necessarily the issue.
Hey Paul what Oil are you running if you don't mind me asking.
Schaffers for the most part. I’ve had trucks on several different oils. No difference. I’ve had great success with the Schaffers’s oil.
@@pddieselpower You said in another comment a couple above this one that you use rotella?
Sounds like that 6.7 Ford would have been a much better choice?
Big problem with ford and chevy is there gearing sucks on there diesels. 3.42 on chevy and 3.32 on powerstroke.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought all F350 dually's came standard with 3.73s with the option to go 4.30s? @@bigmurph1447
@@bigmurph1447I wish my ram had 3:32’s. My 4:10’s scream out the fuel. It does better at low rpm
@@wallyyuriy8912 no u don't I had a ram with 3.42 they suck. Best all around gearing is 3.73 for a diesel
Your the reason lol you are the reasons customer asked not to what you do and your crew did what i said not to and ive have had this happen just cus it has a turbo doesn't give you the right
Ram builds trucks every day. How would they not have a motor? More important to build trucks not service the ones out there.
Buy a 6.7 ford problem solved
He just sold it, trans with slipping less then 10k miles.
6.7 powerstroke isn't solving any problem. The 10spd and the high pressure pump on the ford is a reliability nightmare after 100k
@@Youngmechanical I see many with 250-300k miles , did they ALL have the issues you mention?
@jeedwards1981 oh I'm sure they have quite a few making high miles but that 10 speed is having some issues and ford knows it
Stop trying to keep up with those ford's and you will be alright
Easy buy a Superduty
He did 2024 high HP sold it in less than 10k, transmission was slipping.

@@jontoddkas he couldn't handle the power I watched that video trans wasn't slipping
He's getting old hearing shit likely hears baboons on Washington

So your saying a ram cummins and driving a trx. Think your full of it
That’s his toy truck. He has about 30 ram Cummins in his hot shot fleet.
