Man, just saw your video for the first time. I think soooo many can learn from how you do a video. You get right to it and don’t waste any time just good stuff from start to finish. I’m subscribed! I ordered a 3500 limited cclb HO Cummins and gonna sell my ‘06 qclb Laramie CTD. Will have to hit you up when I get it and ask for advice. Thanks!

Emissions problems before it’s first oil change. Wild, who woulda thought. Been there like a broken record. Thanks for the video. #freeGordonL

My 2014 6.7 went through 3 def pumps within the first year. Not a hiccup in the 8 years of ownership since certain parts fell off. No-one is going to convince me these emissions packed diesels will run trouble free long term. You might find a few that do, but eventually the issues will catch up.

Josh great review you really made me laugh when you said the engine would probably blow up most of mine do i really love your videos 👍 God bless and stay safe 🙋‍♂️🇬🇧

Have a 21 HO also. Fully deleted, billet valve cover with catch can, CTT with SOTF, gid heater delete with banks 4" Monster ram. Effing deleted everything on my truck. Probably $10k worth of junk I pulled off. Runs like a champion now.

We use 5w-40 in the 19! Going to try the emissions tuning soon then will delete. Just rolled 36,000 miles

Their is TSB on the 2021's for the EGR shorting and taking out the ECM. It happened to my 2021 3500 and the dealer screwed up diagnosing it and ended up running the truck with the new EGR stuck open. So now the dealer is buying the truck back from me because it gunked up the turbo and killed the DPF and DPF's are on a 6 month back order.

Good stuff, dig the honest review

Eff the epa. So sad I could not get a tune from PDD.

Good content. Appreciate the honest reviews. From everything I've seen if you're using these trucks to haul/tow the Ram set up is really hard to beat. My work truck is a gasser F450 but the 10 speed in it does some really goofy stuff and feels odd unless I leave it in tow mode. Now it is an aerial lift bucket truck loaded down with tools and junk so perhaps it needs to be in tow mode all the time with the weight it rides at. Maybe someday I'll move into a newer truck for my own tow rig, for now I'll stick with my 05 and 08 Dodges. Just looking at the cluster in the new trucks gives me anxiety, lol.

I have the exact same truck. Color, packages, steps, everything. It sure is a looker. And it pulls my 48’ toy hauler very comfortably. But the dead pedal is terrible. And I have the pedal commander… and as far as head clearance, I have the mega cab, and the roof goes back up for head clearance in the back seat. But I find my hair hits in the front seat. And I don’t have extra long hair. I’m 6’1”. My biggest complaints are fuel mileage and ride comfort. My best unloaded was 16. Loaded 10. And I feel like it’s capable of so much better. And as far as the ride, I know it’s a 1 ton but damn, if I hit a squirrel I can tell if it’s male or female.

Am I the only one who changes my oil filter from the bottom? I bought an adaptor that fits the bottom of the filter. It attaches to a ratchet. Unscrew it, and then just walk it down and put it on the oil container you are draining in to drain. NO need to remove intake box or anything.

You forgot that the Limited gauge cluster with the blue lighting around the gauges is amazing!

This is why I will only buy pre emissions pickups. Maintenance cost is so expensive, and all the electronics

Haha welcome to my world. The only way to do the rear filter without making a mess is to remove the driveshaft off the rear diff and move it to the side. Also just as a heads up any tuning will void the warranty stallantis is not messing around. Have had several truck get declined because they can now tell if the pcm has been messed with. And sorry about not being able to post the link for them fusion cable connectors.

Been running the black market performance Cat filter kit on my 18’ since new and love it, $60 for both and the they’re spin on

I bought a new 2015 back when we were building our house and I didn’t have to to mess with deleting the truck. In 6 months I had it back to the dealer 3 times for emissions crap. Service manger told me I needed to delete it. Of course I did. Govt can kiss my ass.

That's a Crewcab. The quad cab is the cab and a half with short doors in back.

On my new mega cab I moved the ball mount back and built my own mount. Ended up putting the ball about 14” back from the stock position. Pull a pretty heavy 44’ enclosed trailer and I can’t tell that the hitch is moved back as far as how it drives. Turning tho is huge, I can almost turn 90° now without touching my rear window.

Could you comment on before and after mpg with different trucks you've tuned with calibrated? All I'm looking for is mpg cause these trucks have plenty of power for me stock,just want good trans tuning and better efficiency and if I could get that without a weight loss kit that would be nice

Good content here Josh, thanks!!!

Have you heard we might be running out of DEF fluid? If your running it you better stock up. Or if you sell a delete system you better get ready to sale bunches.

As far as your shifting concern, there is a software update for that transmission. I just had mine done and I no longer feel it shift. Very smooth. I went with the Banks Ram Air Big Ass filter setup on my 2021 Ram 3500. Definitely hear the turbo and reduced the lag between 3rd & 4th gear.

When you call out the mileage @ 1:14 you can see the mileage on the dash increasing. Weird!

Great video ! Man this is a beautiful truck 👍🏻

I always give people a chance to fix their stuff before I start getting pissed.

There’s a cover on the side of the s&b box you can remove for turbo noises

on your S & b intake take the plug out of the side of the air box i have the same intake on my 2020 ram and absolutely love the sound

You okay bud? We appreciate the content. And I gotta echo Chad below #letmygordogo

The dealership here in big spring Texas, charged me 450 for 2 fuel filters, oil filter and oil for my first oil change on 2022 ram 5500 6.7.

Bummer on the emissions stuff, I’m at 15k no problems bone stock lol

This guy has good stuff on his older truck for , yeah its 4th gen but sure helps with filter changes. His oil change video has a sweet Lisle tool for mess less oil filter changes

So even with two fuel filter inline the cp4 pump still sucked. Good that they went back to the cp3 fuel pump.

I run the black market diesel filter head on my ‘15 4500 c&c best thing since sliced bread! Those stock filters are ridiculous $$. I only run the front cat spin on. The rear filter is a water separator with a catch you can drain. I found racor makes the rear filters for half of what ram sells them for and I can keep the heater for cold starts. I bought a whole case on ebay for a great price. Cat up front and racor in the rear 👌

Thank you for the video. It's really helpful. What size rear tires do you have on it? I see you have the great black factory wheels but the tires don't look factory. Thank you.

Have you had any experience with EZ Lynk 3 yet? I saw it's being sold now. I'm running the Auto Agent 2 and am curious if there's any major differences aside from the size? I was, and am still so thankful the shop "nearby" was able to save me a bunch of grief and liberate my 2016 Cummins for me a little while back (which was long overdue)! They're great guys over there, but I may have to check this shop out at some point too, especially since there's a dyno! Are you still there, or are you working elsewhere now? Cool to just stumble across some local content, that's for sure! I did my best to keep the OEM parts on until they started to fail and threaten limp mode time and time again. After roughly 6 trips to the Dodge dealer down south for the same issues- replacing things under my extended warranty right before it ended at 100k, clearing codes with no success and still getting limp mode warnings, I had reached the end of my patience with the entire system... Best money I ever spent on the truck, that's for sure! But I definitely hear ya on a lot of these newer trucks that it's not as imperative to perform weight reduction surgery on them unless the stuff starts to fail. Hopefully they've ironed out a lot of the issues many of us with 3rd and 4th gen's have had. I guess only time will tell, but I'm not the most up to date on what's been happening with the 5th gen's, so maybe time has already told that story and I'm just unaware, haha.

I shove an empty 1gallon water bottle up over the front diff and have the fuel filter drain tube go right into it. Diesel everywhere.

Pull the plug under 90degrees ambient temp and you'll hear that turbo.

So as much as mileage and power may not be significant what thought on

Filters aren’t too bad to replace on a cummins. Beats replacing a motor on a 6.7 powerstroke.

Most dealers will change fuel filters for you if you bring in your own filters. My 19 cost 300 for an oil change and fuel filter change. I supplied fuel filters. Oil and a oil filter is gonna cost about 75 or so. So 225 in labor for fuel and oil service. I buy my fuel filters on Amazon or through genos.

A Taco Tuesday vidja, WHAT A TREAT LOL!

I'm starting to suspect all the plastic fuel bowl/filter components made from that super brittle plastic pretty much used by everyone is a built in obsolescence so they can sell us new parts. Damn near every 6.0 and 7.3 I've worked on has exploded the hex part when I try and full the filter. My cousin was working at Ford in Ontario as an engineer and was saying his job was pretty much just designing things to break at specific times so remember someone somewhere is responsible for your woes when it goes south and you get that urge to find the guy responsible and kick him in the nuts

How much were the tunes? I cab get an ex lynk fur about $600 but the tune pkgs I've found were like $1500 (which is insane). Does EZ Lynk offer any tunes or do you know where to get tunes? Any issues with the app being regulated or losing info?

Open up that side door on the sb and it's loud. Also u can drill out the turbo silencer to hear the turbo whistle. All which I'm sure you know. This is what I did on both of my 20's and both of my 22's

I haven't done a delete yet becuase my 2019 HO cummins still has warranty. I schedule a cp3 conversion per recall at dealer this wk and i got a feeling they well reflash pcm to newest tune and I've been hearing it locks out any future tuning. Is this tuner still able to tune newest oem reflash?

That’s why I pull my intake tube for my oil changes on my ‘16. Takes less than 30 seconds with a couple 8mm. Bring the oil filter out the top and plenty of room for ratchet and filter socket. No mess even without the filter t-handle plug Also on the rear, I bet if you drain via the petcock and then when it’s barely dripping you slightly crack the housing on open it’ll finish draining out the petcock without a mess. That’s the trick I use for my rear fuel/water sep for a no mess change

What's your opinion on the Saklua fuel filter and water seperator? On amazon it's $30 for both of those and they look identical to the mopar filter and water seperator? I got hit for $240 one time to change those at the dealer and never again.

What are your egts like? My 21 runs hotter then my 17 2500, run both on stage 5 tune all the time. Power is controlled by my right foot. Not as impressed with the performance of the 5th gen vs my 17. Since my 21 is an HO I know some of it is transmission differences, but it's not the shifting part that I'm complaining about. It's the powe once in gear and higher egts. Wondering if an S&B would be any better at providing cooler egts?

I love the hotshot secret oil. Using it for the first time in my LBZ and I’ve never had oil stay cleaner than this stuff. Made a believer out of me

No PDD oil ... hmmmm?

I love to see some 5th gen content. I put a muffler on my '19 as well. But I'm like you, I don't see it as a must for performance. I did it for reliability. I have a 68RFE truck so I'm sure you know how that goes! Please show us some cool mods to the 5th gen or get another 6.0. I'll admit that I enjoyed watching the ford project.

Hell Yeah Brother

Remove the side panel from the S&B intake, you'll hear that turbo whistle.

Why the odometer numbers were moving when you checked the mileage?🤔

What are your thoughts on putting an oil filter on dry? I’ve personally done it either way sometimes even just pouring a little bit in the filter to not make as much of a mess. Keep up the good content!

What was your problem with the emissions-on tuning?

silly question…i thought 5th and 6th were over drive gears, don’t you dyno in the 1:1 gear? (4th)

I got my genuine filters off Amazon as well. I think they were 60 and 70 bucks at the time. Definitely peace of mind using OEM parts!

Surprised it doesn’t throw itself out of gear. My girlfriend 2020 charger won’t even let you put it in gear with the door open.

Did u change the front shocks for just the dyno? I saw fox shock in the front on the start of the video then on dyno is different shocks!

Just bought a 2018. Went to a local parts store to get oil and fuel filters. Tell me that will be 288.00. I say what the f..k are you smokin!?!?!? Walked out at 176.00! Sweet!!!

That door by the dyno has seen its fair share off exhaust smoke.

I have 1999 dodge 3500 with 5" exhaust sounds real good even with the muffler in it.

Geno's Garage has Mopar fuel filters for half price. Sold as a kit (2).

How often does Cummins recommend you replace those fuel filters?

I buy those same two filters on Amazon for 80$ total ...do a little shopping and u'll find them

Curious about the emissions intact tuning...how does it not face plug the DPF...great video josh

I've got no dog in this fight other than I can see the older trucks going up in value once more people experience the issues with emission nightmares. Luckly in Cali we have the 2nd gen to swap these newer engines into and not worry about the garbage attached to them.

As a Ford guy, those midnight edition trucks are fucking gorgeous. Same opinion on the weight reduction. As long as it doesn’t have problems, I don’t really see benefit of getting rid of it. Also where is the 6.0??

Can anyone feel me in on what’s going on with the 2022 Ram tuning?

That's why you Always remove the negative cable on both batteries when playing with modules

Fuel filters on the 13-18s are very similar. I'm definitely not a fan of the drains or the price of filters either. I like the simplicity of Airdog/Fass systems. Always enjoy watching your videos, keep it up!

Good run bro,Check out Gale banks on emissions tuning brother!!!

I heard the same thing about the 10 speed Ford transmission as far as hunting . I was told and I probably never have one but guys who hot shot in areas that is really hot they run synthetic diesel motor oil in the Asian . I ran 10 wt in my transmission for I guess 150 k miles . Nice truck as my friends bought trucks like yours . I asked about the mileage and he told me it did not get as good as his single wheel I think a 17 but it towed better on his toy hauler

Pull the square plug out of the side of the air box. It made the turbo a bit louder on my ‘21 with it out

I've got a 2020 ram 3500 last year same thing,put tunes on it and love it.not deleted want to but not in a hurry to do it. Only problem I've had was buying more aggressive looking tires,then found out they weren't a good set for the truck.im curious as to what you have on your truck? Sharp looking truck man

Great video - I have a 21 ram 5500 - as for the Recomended oil - if calls for 10w30 above 0 degrees Fahrenheit and 5w40 below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Do you know if it’s safe to use 5w40 all year round ? I run hotshot secret as well but not sure if I’m better of with Amsoil or shaffrer…

Thought on engine life with emissions on situation good stuff

Great video keep up the honesty!

Fricken troll here, you sure mention how much factory fuel filters are but how come we dont get to know how much a gallon Hot shot oil is? Please throw in those prices too, thanks.

I’m on the fence whether or not to void my warranty and head to Mexico. These trucks cost so much but I hate how quiet and clean they are. 😝

Hey man, I could just be special, but you reminded me I need to change the oil in my 06, but I can't seem to find the oil change kits on the PDD website? Did they get rid of them,

did you install the rotary switch ?

Emissions are garbage I know because I have to deal with this crap in California. Trust me none of these engines like Emissions either cummins, the x15 or the 6.7. Cummins need to breathe and to not have a plugged up exhaust.

wait they want almost $5000 for a switchable tune? they will give you a $2600 ECU but will only give you $500 if you return yours? no thanks,

That sounds mean to be stock. Dam I love that truck 👍

what the hell was with the odometer rolling over when you checked mileage? it went up about 3 miles in a second

Got to love dodge and their fuel filter placement lol😂 diesel fuel alway in your pits when your done.

Take the plexiglass off top of filter box it makes turbo louder

Screw 200 fuel filters , I have the BMP cat filter kit

Are you running spacers in the rear for the 285 70 17s your running?

Finally a real review

Vierra is the man 🤘🏻

First time looking at at video on your channel.. I did not look through the comments but I think smacking the oil filter like that could modify the bypass valve operation and cause your truck to run with unfiltered oil.

Damn bro, disposable trucks at 70,000 a pop? Yall hiring?

Quad cab? That's a crew cab

Have you looked into ATS 50 state legal compound setup? I think calibrated power tested it on one of their trucks.

Towing beast 💪🏻👍

A I guess ram wants you to use diesel to clean your diff
