Hey Paul your videos is why I bought a 2013 ram crew cab short bed 3500 Aisin and I love the truck. Had it about 3 years now no issues at all. I appreciate your time making these videos
I had two Rams a 2014 & 2018 2500’s . I’m now a proud owner of a 2021 F-350 . The Rams were good trucks but the F-350 with the 10 speed is an outstanding Truck !
@P J Really the 7.3 gasser pulls almost as much as a diesel ! Lol 😂 In fact nobody comes close to it as far as GM & Ram’s gassers ! It’s in a class all by itself!
@@marklee6538 yes got a letter about that few weeks ago. Says they’re still in the works but will get another letter when they have a solution and can take it in for service
Would helper bags disguise an overloaded condition? Aren’t the factory springs made for the gawr of 7k? Honest question as to find out why guys put helper springs or airbags on. Basically I’m wondering why dodge didn’t put enough springs on from the factory that coinsides with the gawr. My guess is they do but guys don’t know what their doing right?
Seems like a nice solid truck . I like the base models personally. Not sure of the unit number but the 3500 dually cab and chassis is my personal favorite. Always like the high mileage videos and hearing what it took to get them there
Paul you just said you were still a teenager when you bought your '14. If I'm doing my math right that means your in your mid to late 20s now. Congratulations to you sir for being Soo successful at such a young age
I ordered a Limited 2022 3500 HO CTD crew cab totally loaded in late Nov. Looks like my estimated build date is 2/7/22. So looking forward the day it arrives. Thanks for the video man!
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I learn something every time I watch one of your vids. What did I learn this time??? Buy a 21-22 3500 H.O. I wanted a late 18 because of a review you did of one talking about how refined it was. But looking at how the used market is I think I’d be better of getting one of these bad boys. Proud owner of a 04 dually Laramie with a manual. 170,000 miles daily driver that runs and drives like a brand new truck. I’ll be keeping this truck forever but would love to throw a truck with an automatic into the mix. Appreciate it.
Paul, I have a 3500 Limited night edition in diamond black on order. I tow frequently, but not nearly as heavy as you do, so I went with the 68rfe. I like how it shifts better and I’ve found it gets better mpgs. As of late I wish I would have ordered it with the 6.4 with 4.10s.
Just the costs mainly and wanted something different. A gasser will get the job done just fine. I tow about 8000 miles per year for work. No long hauls, lots of short stops, rarely exceed 10k in weight.
@@fivesfilms those are some of my feelings as well. I’ve owned diesels in the past, but that was before all the emissions stuff was added. I mainly went with the 6.4 because it’s matched with the ZF 8 speed as you know. I’ve had really good service with it on my 1500 and a jeep SRT before that. I believe when I owned my last diesel the fuel was cheaper than gas and it got better mpg too. Not quite so today. Thanks for your reply.
Toyo makes a C/T (COMMERCIAL) version that still has the snowflake and handles great. It is what I had before but now have the AT3 due to not being able to find the CT version when it was due for replacement. There is also two versions of the AT3 one can handle high psi the other not so much. Just info hope it helps.
It’s 12-12-23 just purchased a 2021 mega 2500 almost like your I’m a plumber need the power traded out of same crew cab. 2021 but can’t imagine starting construction in a limited Never had that nice a truck
I had some Nitto Ridge grapplers on my 2500 and it didn’t do that great in the snow for me. My driveway has less than a 1deg slope and I’d get stuck in 2wd with less than 1in of snow. I switched to Toyo AT3s and the difference is night and day. I can drive through 2in of snow now without switching to 4wd. That’s just my experience.
Hey Paul, have you considered adding any banks upgrades to your truck/trucks? Diff cover, derringer tuner, pedal commander, intake horn, etc. I figured you might spring for the diff cover for cooling
Awesome truck. I paid a deposit on a white one 2500 midnight edition. Trading in a 18 tundra absolutely love that truck but i need haul a excavator. Up here in TN cant do it in the mountains and don't want kill the tundra lol
Paul, thanks for the video. I have this exact same truck just in diamond black. I got mine back at the end of April of 2021 but I only have 7600 miles on it so far. It will be pulling a toy hauler all spring and summer of 2022. There is only one thing that I don’t like on the truck and that’s the small fuel door. Other than that, it’s been phenomenal. I do have one question, do you run any fuel additives? Appreciate the video.
Thank you. Yes I run schaffers Diesel treat 2000. Comment says fuel door. I'm guessing you meant fuel tank. The stock tank is small. I'm running an s&b 52 gal tank in this truck. Very much needed.
@@pddieselpower The fuel tank is a big problem and will be going away for sure. I was looking at the Titan 50gal. I still hate the small little round fuel door when fueling. I know it’s stupid but it pisses me off. Lol. I’m also looking for tires and my top 3 are Toyo AT3, Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and the K02. Not sure if you’ve ever run those other tires but I really like the look of the AT3. Again thanks for the time.
I love your setup it does not look 2 over done on my 2018 Ram 1500 I have bilstein 5100 all way around on 305 55 20 I do like those wheels I'm not the biggest fun of aftermarket wheels but those just look right
ill be placing an order on a 22” laramie short bed single axel… question is is the h.o worth the up grade… itll be my everyday driver & once a month ill haul a 36’ fifth wheel? coming for a 2015 dually duramax. whats ur thought?
Hey Paul good info on these trucks. One question what type of smoke corner mirror lenses did you go with to replace the white ones on the mirror? I didn’t hear it in the video. Unless I missed it, thanks Rob from Ohio
I have the same truck in the 2019 and it has a same issue with the left side of the tailgate I took it to the dealer They said that there’s nothing they could do unless it take it to the body shop and do bodywork on it and it’s weird it’s the same exact color is your truck
Yes sir. I'm planning on making it my ultimate overland/camping vehicle. So I'll try towing the 7k tt with it and report back how that worked out with the 8.1
I run mostly bigtex trailers. No issues. Yes, there are better trailers. It's just that I feel the bigtex has a good middle-of-the-road trailer. It comes down to trailer sales near you. Who you can work best with as far as customer service and product
Is that factory bed liner grippy? If I tried to slide something into the bed will it slide easily over the bed liner or does the liner grip it and make it hard to slide?
The S&B does add some power, but Your really not gonna notice and extra 10-15ft lbs of torque. On top of 1075 ft lbs 😂, on my 2500 with the 6.4hemi? Makes a much more noticeable difference
I see a fairly consistent mpg increase until 60k miles. The best mpg is usually after 100k miles on the truck. Keep in mind that's all highway mileage.
my 2017 just turned 55000 miles and they are telling me my turbo is shot what the f still has all the emission on it pure stock Dodge says 6700 to repair maybe they do need to go all electric if after all this still having problem after problem
What does "shot" mean? Get a second opinion and see if there's a way to save some money. The dealer might just be throwing parts at you and charging for it.
@@AkioWasRight after the last reply I looked it up 5y 100000 power train warranty turbo is part of the power train i will get ahold of Chrysler its a 2017 should be under warranty Ive been looking around could be an actuator problem either way the factory warranty should be good until 2023 right

Yes please. Love the 8.1 gassers and would enjoy a video on the 2500 GMC Yukon/Suburban platform. The QuadraSteers were pretty cool also...
Just turned 85k on my 2020 3500 Laramie. Pull 20-30k on my gooseneck daily, zero issues. Putting helper bags on her this week.
Did you hear they are supposed to be doing a recall to change the cp4 pump to a cp3? Check on it if not, would hate to see it grenade on a work truck.

This is such a good looking truck Paul 👍🏻
Thank you
Awesome Rig Paul, You do have a good looking Rig... They all have issues, how's that 03 Holding up dam that's a good looking truck!

54,000 in my 2021 2500 and I love it
I am always watching this channel lol, love the vids
So I would agree with the S&B intake my truck went down to 10mpg not towing anything swapped the stock back in and mileage jumped back to normal.
How is that aluminum hitch working out for you? Any pros and cons? Any concerns with aluminum being not strong enough? Maybe a good video topic?
love the high mileage stuff
ill be placing an order on a 22” laramie short bed single axel… question is is the h.o worth the up grade… itll be my everyday driver & once a month ill haul a 36’ fifth wheel? coming for a 2015 dually duramax. whats ur thought?

Can you do a video on dead pedal
BEAUTIFUL TRUCK 😍
Talking about Linex??
What is the wheel and tire setup?? This is exactly what I’m looking to do to my 2500!
Commenting for support.
I have the same truck in the 2019 and it has a same issue with the left side of the tailgate I took it to the dealer They said that there’s nothing they could do unless it take it to the body shop and do bodywork on it and it’s weird it’s the same exact color is your truck
What locker do you have in the rear end? I have been looking for the locker for that aam 12 for a while and I can't find anything.
How does that truck handle with a gooseneck can u do a video of it pulling. If you have done one km sorry it never showed up PD DIESEL POWER
What do you think about the bags from the factory on the 3500?
Thanks for the informative video. Have you towed with the Yukon at all? Would be interested in seeing a video on it.
Yes sir. I'm planning on making it my ultimate overland/camping vehicle. So I'll try towing the 7k tt with it and report back how that worked out with the 8.1
Paul, how do you like "Big Tow/Haul Master" trailers? I'm looking at them for a dump.
I run mostly bigtex trailers. No issues. Yes, there are better trailers. It's just that I feel the bigtex has a good middle-of-the-road trailer.
It comes down to trailer sales near you. Who you can work best with as far as customer service and product
What fuel wheel are you running. Sharp with the dark gray.
What have you been doing for maintenance parts on your 5th Gens? From what I've seen you can only get parts directly from the dealer
Is that factory bed liner grippy? If I tried to slide something into the bed will it slide easily over the bed liner or does the liner grip it and make it hard to slide?
It's plastic/rubbery feeling to it. Things still slide, just not like on bare metal
Are the mega cabs the same length as the long bed crew cabs or is one longer than the other?
Mega cab is just a bit shorter than the crew long bed.
But yes they are expensive I’m curious how size affects this I ran a lt355/50/20
Have the air bags seen really cold weather yet ? How do they stand up.. Northern Ontario Canada -30 -40 lots
I don't recall -30, but I believe last year it got to -10 and no issue.
I live in Alberta and had mine through -30 -48c and I haven’t had a problem with the bags at all.
Beautiful rig. Rims look great. To bad it doesn’t have a 8 or 9 speed.
True. But only time I wish it had more gears is when I'm going empty cross state
30k a year just tooling around Spokane putting out fires? Perhaps a Prius would suit you.
Shutters? What shutters? Do the 2500's have shutters too?
Carli suspension for that suspension build
As always thank you

The S&B does add some power, but Your really not gonna notice and extra 10-15ft lbs of torque. On top of 1075 ft lbs 😂, on my 2500 with the 6.4hemi? Makes a much more noticeable difference

Yo take a look at the carli level kits
Noticed the exhaust pipe looks different then stock lol
Do you have the Aisin?
Why u no make nice mud flaps like on ur '19?
Heck ya I wanna hear about 8.1 Yukon, love all good trucks
Nice unit 👍💪🏻
Rhino liner, I tore the liner loading split fire wood.
Have you seen there mules for the new 2023’s? Still the same body but there adding a new hood, and finally new mirrors!!!
If they add the new 1500 cab, can they still make megas? I wonder if that’s why they won’t change it because it wouldn’t work with the new cab.
