@@vtdeezl I bought a 2014 High Country last week and the GPS fin was corroded out and the rear brake light was leaking into the liner getting god knows what else wet since it had a fancy dvd player and sunroof..... went right back to the dealer and got my money back!

base model trucks are the best, with the only necessary equipment, nothing about huge screens and lots of electronic shit, and most importantly, manual transfer case. Beautiful truck, congrats.
I love my G56. The only bad thing is the clutch. It won’t handle much more than +50hp in mods. My South Bend clutch has over 150k miles on it and it still holds 1000 torque like the day I installed it.
I am buying a 2018 2500 with a G56, with upgraded clutch rated at 800 hp and 1200 lbs. Its also studded and deleted. on 37 in falken A/T and 5 in lift. cant wait.
Same here as of recent.. My GM Canyon feels as if it is getting smaller an' smaller the more my kids grow, and on top of that, this truck is in need of some issues fixed and not even 43,000 on the clock..
Gotta love that exhaust brake. Dad has a 2016 2500hd tradesman crew cab. Not the most premium interior but without having all the nice things, there’s less stuff to break 😂. His is auto but still is nice and same with yours bro, love the manual.
I have a 2014 2500 with the manual and 503,000 miles on it. I love it, but just so everyone knows you loose about 200 lbs of torque, fuel mileage is about the same as an auto, and the manual is more expensive to replace. 2018 is the last year manual will even be an option. I'm buying a new 18 and it will be an automatic this time, I just hope it will last close to 500,000 miles like my manual did.
@@officialbazzargaming I'm actually keeping it till I can fix it. After I fix it I plan on hiring someone to drive it. I bought a new one it had 30 miles a month ago, but I've put about 20,000 miles on it and still trying to get use to an automatic. I will probably end up driving it and hire someone to drive the automatic.
That’s a ton of miles on a g56. My 2018 barely made it to 60,000 before the first gear synchronizer sh*t the bed and grenaded the whole tranny. Dealership tried to pin it on my tune and triple disc valair clutch. However even if ram would have agreed to cover it (everything is pointing to the factory preload and head spacing incorrectly set) there are zero G-56 spare transmissions in the entire mopar inventory since Getrag stopped making them and parts for it 3 years ago

Dose your truck have the transfer case drive line chatter when letting off the clutch or throttle? I done a lot of research most g56 trucks do. Yours sounds pretty smooth.
Hey brother, pretty much have the same truck. Awesome rig. Question for you. The Ccv breather, do you still have a filter in your crank case vent? Or is it gone. I hear both side of the 6.7 need back pressure and that it doesn’t. I have my filter in still. If you could answer it be awesome thanks!
That was quick dude. Thank you. Do you know anything about the race me ultra tuner? I run the box tunes eventually wanna do custom or do EFI live I think with this much knowledge now I think it’s what people want I think they are both awesome
I had the stock clutch in this video and it held good on level one, but anything higher than that made it slip. I’ve got a dual disc now and it’s rock solid.
I'm looking to replace my 98 12 valve with this truck. I actually want it as bare bones as possible, with the exception of some nice comfy leather seats.
@jeremy pollitt You're two years too late. But yes, I wish I didn't sell it. Fortunately, I still know the guy who owns it and it doesn't look like he really drives it that much so I could probably buy it back if I wanted to.
Hey man I have a 2014 crew cab long bed also with the G56 and have a little lurch when letting off the throttle and reaccelerating when it’s in gear.. do you have the same problem or know what it could be?
My one regret when I bought my 2017, I didnt go with the 6-speed. If I had the chance to trade into one I likely will, they stopped making the manual with the next gen trucks.
man that’s a sweet ass truck🤪. 1-reason I won’t buy a brand new truck is because of the DPF system= slow death on all Diesel engines. You know it’s bad when they remove all the good stuff out of Engine oil for newer diesels because the manufactures would rather protect their DPF systems that are far more expensive than the engine. good oil with all the additive packages screws up their DPF system. engineers know the DPF system is slow death on the engine. but it’s cheaper to sacrifice the engine. you can remove it but if you got popped or live in a inspection state you’re screwed. that’s why I decided to do a complete rebuild/restoration on a ram 12 valve instead and saved myself 40k. don’t get me wrong The new trucks are pretty sweet. and i wish the EPA didn’t destroy the diesel otherwise I would’ve bought a new truck.
in the cluster can you still see the trans temp? i know yours in deleted but i might be picking up this exact truck monday. found out it was a manual and couldnt hold back. lol
It's more clunky than the nv5600. The NV has quicker smoother shifts and would be a better racing transmission. The G56 is a nice strong trans also, I just miss the smoothness of my NV5600. I think big benefit of the G56 vs nv5600 is reverse location on the shift pattern.
I really like that truck but what I don't like is those manual vehicles, automatics are better without having to move a lever every second just to drive.
Nice video !! Do you recommend this vehicle for car hualing business?? Do you think it can handle that without any major problems to the powertrain or suspension?? Also is it easy to work on and be maintained in a DIY way or not??? Also what does the warranty cover on those vehicles???
