Been there done that in my 2011 F250 6.7 powerstroke. Completely stock and pulling a 12,000 lb toyhauler. Had no problem at all. I have been all over the rockies, from Colorado to Wyoming and South Dakota. Ran thru the desert in Utah, New Mexico and Nevada with temps over 100 deg with no issues.
That’s a tuning problem my man. I had a highly modified 6.0 Excursion and pulled a 13k lb toy hauler all the time with it. The only time I ever produced smoke is pulling away from a stop when turbo didn’t have time to spool up. Get a good tune and make that thing run clean and better.
This was a very informative video on many levels. From the technical perspective, the drive ability perspective and so on. My wife and I just purchased a 2016 Ram Laramie 3500 Diesel Dually. I know nothing about this vehicle other then it can tow my toy hauler and Harleys inside and to not allow the fuel tank to get to E. Anyways you brought up some great points about towing. From driving through the plains up through the foothills of this mountain range and the things to be mindful of to not pushing the vehicle to hard to what to keep an eye on. I noticed I have lost of temp gauges in between the RPM & Speedo that I can read and keep an eye on. I will be traveling from So California to Central Utah in about a month towing the toy hauler along the way. You’ve definitely planted some things in my head to be mindful of. Thanks.
The RZR in the back needs to be backed into the trailer dummy. Think about where the motor is. Thats why its whipping around. 6:50. Can't even keep the truck between the lines. I've GCVWR'd 30k with my 06' 2500HD CCLB LBZ and didn't get trailer sway like that.

Like all of the others on the Road who build their Tow Rig backwards . Buy a truck, then almost immediately install a lift and large tires, then they have to start keeping up with The Joneses. Next comes the "Toys" and the trailer to haul them, then 6 months later they find themselves at the RV Super show buying a place for The wife unit to sleep and possibly stay dry,which might last a year if they're lucky because 98% of RV'$ built in today's world start coming apart the moment they hit the road. Then, if the initial unit wasn't a Toy Hauler, then it's time to Reup to an even more shittily built Toy toter where they find again they are constantly at the RV Repair shop trying to get that warranty work done only to find out that it's going to take 2 months to make that happen, because all of the cash paying suckers get 3 to 5 techs because they charge $120/Hr so warranty might get 3 techs,maybe. So before long, they're discovering that it cost 1K to have a weekend out with the toys, and the truck still needs more upgrades. But they also find that in the last 2 years, new trucks have all of the upgrades performed, so its more decisions. And they may have to go another 60k in debt. And with both looking for better paying jobs so as to keep up that ever more expensive weekend play time,and keep The Repo man away. Enjoyment has gotten out of hand in today's world.
Im just here waiting for another episode of killing a duramax and considering its been 2 month since the last video im going to guess that they blew it up and the next video is going to be interesting.

Thinking the same too. I would love to hear Banks weigh in on that. I figured there would be more back pressure from the dpf, 1.5 psi doesn’t sound bad.
Ok Clint...you live here --- you should know better --- Eisenhower east portal, 11,013 ft...west portal, 11,158 ft...and in fairness, you guys need to start running Loveland, 11,990 ft or Berthoud Pass, 11,306 ft...mostly because there is a HUUUUGE difference between 11,000 flat --- and 11,500 or 12,000...and really a telling amount of data that the EGT and turbo and piston temperature are going through in order to achieve a stock 300, 350 or 400HP.
I drove through that tunnel many times, the elevation is different on either side, one side is slightly less than 11k, and the other one is right over 11k. The tunnel itself, if i remember correctly, was like 1.7 miles long.
By the way --- little known fact...normally all the grades on the interstate road system were designed around an 8% grade --- however, the last grade, on the west side(west side, Eastbound) of Eisenhower, for roughly 750 feet, is 12%...right before you turn abruptly to the left to the tunnel approach.
Awesome videos I will be taking that exact same route I will not be pulling anything but I will be driving a brand new truck for a brand new used truck from Cali to MN. Wish I had time to install two things I can watch it all on the data recorder but I guess I’ll just watch the videos
@@jaydunbar7538 Disagree. Any trailer type in CA is required to only use the right most lane except if passing. To get to the carpool lane you'd have to violate the right most lane restriction 3 or 4 times and then once you're in the HOV lane, you just broke another Vehicle code. Check the books, in CA trailers are a no go. Not sure what CO has in their VC book but I'd guess its the same.
Auto makers will be on the edge of their seats (it seems) in the near future when all of the EPA restrictions for diesel get tighter the next few years. DPF back pressures will be something they should monitor and engineer to be almost zero if they plan on selling trucks to folks that will use them as intended.
The numbers would definately be better if all emission controls "fell of the truck". We don't have to worry about the EPA for another 4 yrs, when Trump gets out.
@@timleung9726 Some folks just don't get the idea and health concerns. Soot and black smoke is the sign of a poorly tuned engine. Once they get fuel to burn 100%, the engine has it's maximum power and torque. Lots of information on this right here on Banks channel. They've almost got it cleaned up except for the NOx.
@Garth Clark: I'm glad I have the right tune with my mini max! I need to deliberately stomp on the pedal to be rollin coal. Next upgrade: FASS titanium 165gph lift pump.
I just purchased a 2021 ram 2500 with the Cummins any things to watch out for Im a duramax guy I have a 2012 Cummins but it’s a different animal and it’s manual so I didn’t have to worry about the trans only the clutch .
Indeed lots of good information, but Clint you really do have to sort out your towing issues. Get it leveled out, get a 3500 you are dangerously overloaded & the idiot comments are taking away from the solid info in the video. 2013 Ram 3500 154k , Aisin Trans with 410's (changed to 3:82 with 20" DDC hub centric wheels), Banks monster intake & I am about to install ATS VFR turbo, I am 32,500 with the weight ticket to prove it. (DRV Lx455 with a dresser in the garage) Running Amsoil in the transmission (dropped trans temp by 50 degrees immediately) Never a problem through the Rockies. Looking at the idash next after your turbo. Get your camera crew ready & we will bring the rig by & run the gauntlet for you. (shame on the guys name calling in their comments be adults)
I looked up the 5th wheel the side by side and the small trailer 22000.lbs tops about 10000 lbs less than you claimed! With that said hard to believe anything else you say,
22,000 in trailers/side by side + the 8,000 truck = GCWR of 30,000 give or take. The truck was required to move a gross combined weight of ~ 30,000 lbs
I AM LOOKING TO PURCHASE A 2015 PLATINUM FORD 350 DUALLY CREW CAB WITH 6.7 ENGINE. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ALL OR ANYTHING RELATED HERE . THIS IS SAID TO BE THE 2 ND GENERATION 6.7. THANK YOU
I'm going to put my ass on the line (because I'm still under warranty and currently waiting for warranty work) and tell everyone that can see this to go to Revmax or some other builder. I'm on my 4th or 5th (I think, can't remember because its been so much) transmission in 2 years from ATS and now has to be replaced again. They had blamed it on my tuning from HPP (now CTT) saying that 220psi line pressure was too much on their stage 3 68rfe, so they had me purchase their co pilot. They blamed it on my factory transmission cooling capacity 2014 ram 3500 dually so they told me to purchase a external cooler/fan. I bought a derale 35,000btu fan/cooler combo. 2 transmissions were bad straight from them when they shipped to their "authorized installer". Each time I have had to wait for over a month before they even ship a transmission even though they have them in stock and sell them to new customers without a delay. The first failure the torque convertor failed and took the transmission with it, second failure i got the transmission and the OD and UD clutches failed within a couple days and would slip with anything over 30% throttle and the transmission ran 214°F plus from the day of install. 3 transmission failed on the test drive after install, its replacement had a bad valve body found on the test drive after install and now after a year of babying a transmission that I told them was bad after install because the torque convertor clutch would slip under 60% throttle in OD and UD (they told me it was just the new GPZ clutch packs needing to break in) I have a failed transmission again. It takes 30 days to get a replacement leaving me without a vehicle that I need to tow my RV around.
Try GOEREND iv got one of their built trannys its been flawless they also answer the phone if you got questions.Out of all their reviews iv yet to see a bad one.
So he claims max power is what he’s at... 19psi is max? My lmm “max” is 25psi. The motor isn’t at max until your turbo is wound up to max boost for what it’s set at in the tune
Runs very clean. AFR 19 is around lambda 1.3 and that is very nice. Do you use piggy back to tune this truck or do you modifie the software on the ecu. Was this the ecodiesel ?
@@DVerbe The stock ECU is whatever Dodge puts in. I don't have any detailed info, other than a Cummins tech I know hooked up his Cummins tool to his 6.7 Dodge and it said it wasn't a Cummins engine meaning it's not Cummins programming.
Are you guys running a lift pump to maintain those AFR’s with that set up? If so what brand? Just curious how the CP4 holds up to the bigger jobs like a larger turbo.
I need to upgrade my fully deleted ram 3500 dually's lift pump real soon. Looking at FASS fuel 165gph titanium. I've heard Airdogs tend to malfunction. That is why they have an excellent warranty program.
Please don’t encourage double towing again, opens the door to so many more dangers, people without a CDL shouldn’t be doing this. See it all the time here in Utah and I’ve also seen multiple accidents and near accidents.
I want to get an iDash for my 95 F350 Powerstroke but it says it's for 1996+ vehicles that have OBD2 even though my 95 came from the factory with OBD2 and communicates on the SAE J1850PWM protocol. I know I've heard tales of the 94.5 and up OBS Powerstrokes having both the Ford OBD connector and the OBD2 one from the factory but had to have the PCM flashed so it could use the OBD2 port which also left the OBD1 port useless afterwords. All that said would an iDash work on my 95 since it does use the J1850PWM protocol?
The iDash 1.8 (iDash DataMonster and iDash Super Gauge) read CAN data. Your 96 is pre-CAN. Yes, you have OBD, but not CAN. CAN was mandated in 2008. Our current iDash offerings are CAN data only. However, we do hope to release a pre-CAN (J1850PWM) at some point in the near future.
Most of these comments are annoying. 1: He's in the left lane because he doesn't want to give up any stream. He's data logging and doing product development. I pull 18k regularly with my 05 Dodge dually and I always have some slow ass car or truck holding me up. 2: Yes he's probably including the weight of the truck. I agree he shouldn't and it would've been better if he had a weight slip. 3: Trailers have brakes rated for the GVWR of the trailer and he's going up hill at 65. Not exactly an unsafe speed. 4: last but not least, I thought California was going to separate from the continent and sink or float away soon? I can't wait! By By commifornia 😁
Austin B87 212* is the boiling point of water, “correct” but that is not under pressure , pressure increases the boiling point , now ADD anti-freeze it goes up again ! So maybe someone can give us the true new boiling points.
50/50 mix with ethylene glycol and water with a 15 psi cap should put boiling near 270F (132C). You have other issues well below those temps, but boiling won’t be a problem.
The ATS transmissions SUCK! They probably had to rebuild it once it made it back to the shop. Towed back is more like it! I had to remove my transmission twice, and paid for the shipping from Texas, so that they could rebuild it. The reason they offer a 5 year 500,0000 warranty is because most people won't pay to remove and ship it back to them. By far the biggest mistake I have made. My transmission is still under warranty and needs to be looked at for the third time since they first rebuilt it. I am not even going to bother sending the transmission back to have them look at it. I rather just pay someone locally to rebuild it once it goes completely out. Also, if you live in Denver and still plan to have them rebuild and replace anything on your truck, you better think again. I had them remove and replace my transmission once when I was there. The next time I had to remove it I noticed that they didn't properly torque the bolts ( some being finger tight). They also cracked the rear engine cover where the starter is located. This was because they placed one of the longer bolts in the wrong spot. In the end, this transmission and anything else will cost you more than the initial purchase price.
Ok, nothing against ATS, by why the hell wouldn't you go to Mike L. at Inglewood transmission? He is an Allison God and just down the freeway in Fullerton??? I mean, come on!
@alan. You miss the point of the “other channel”. They are testing the FACTORY trailer tow calibration to determine its effectiveness. Any idiot can manually select gears, but when the manufacturers tout their “Tow/Haul” mode, wouldn’t you think it would be a good idea to see how well it works?
Mike K I wasn’t knocking TFL at all, just saying their methodology doesn’t take into account what a driver should be doing in such a situation. But if a vehicle is equipped with a feature (exhaust brake) just for such situations, shouldn’t that be tested as well then?
Check your State Laws. It is about not only weight but length too. My buddy got pulled over with 5th wheel and boat and trailer. It was too long. He dropped the 5th wheel and had family stay in it and then moved the boat. I warned him. 😏🧐.
@@ColeSpolaric I see it here in Wyoming, Nebraska, and South Dakota often. My family used to pull their camper with the boat hooked to the rear of the camper and it worked out pretty good!!
So much brand loyalty lol, me and my powerstroke will just hang out and watch. But yes Cummins makes the best engine for heavy duty pickups that actually see heavy use. But unless your doing 100k miles a year at 30k pounds it doesnt matter as you won't bump into that factor. For driving it to the grocery store and pulling your camper a few times a year it really doesn't matter, whichever one your dad said was best will work great.
BREAKING NEWS ALERT ! After reading all these comments it makes me wonder if anybody makes anything good anymore. They make good videos and tell exciting stories but it seems that their product still fails. I’m might be wondering if factory parts are still better
Maybe this is an off topic issue...I-70 needs to get RE-DONE!! REALLLLLLLY BAD. It's at the point now where it's dangerous. Extreme pot holes and the road surface is so sunk in and rutted out its beyond belief! Cause of the Semi's...come on colorado please fix this. Hard enough to be towing up it. And then add trying to get the steering wheel jerked out of your hands is redic...
I travel out there often...seems a bunch of people from Colorado snapped up homes in Sidney, Nebraska when Cabela’s HQ was laying off people. Colorado is losing people to Texas, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma...etc. I go to Denver and surrounding cities, and what a pain it is to get around versus 20 years ago. I remember fields and open land that are now just Condo Caskets stacked high and dense.
@@Garth2011 I am now retired and live in a small town in Western Montana of about 700 permanent residents. There is no traffic, no crime, and also no trash pickup and no mail delivery. I haul my garbage and recycle to the local transfer station about 10 miles away once a month. The Post Office is a couple of miles from me, and they provide residents with a free PO Box. It's as close to paradise as I could have imagined 20 years ago.
Yeah pretty dumb to pull that much without a dully but in his defense those tires are rated the same as 1 ton tires I have them on my 16 2500HD Dmax and tires are what your weight limitations are based on mostly. Plus he was dragging all the weight the truck only had the tung weight of the 5th wheel on it but I agree with you not the safest way to go
The truck ain’t rated for it! Jesus where did you learn about towing weights? The tag on the truck tells all! Just because it will don’t make it right, safe, or legal!
@@RealEyezRealLiez well seeing as if you aren't going to put enough weight over your axles to brake them and smash the springs flat your tires are the first thing that will blow while towing so yes tires are the main limiting factor. Let be clear the 30-32k this video claims he is pulling is GVW that's both trailers and the truck he is actually only putting the weight of the 5th on his truck which is 1500 to 2000 lbs of tung weight the toy hualer weighs 17-18k his little trailer and sxs together might weight 3k and the truck is 8k, the 5th wheel has brakes there is nothing wrong with this setup the truck is totally capable to pull this. I just don't think it the single rear wheel is the safest if I where to pull this rig (which I wouldn't I would just put the damn sxs in the trailer and call it good.
@@roryrohrer7640 If you get some properly rated tires for the truck that you intend to tow with, you’ll figure out that tires actually handle more weight than the axles. For my truck, my Ridge Grapplers are rated to hold 3750 lbs each. 2 tires per axle equals 7500 lbs. My axles are only rated to 7000 lbs. What your actual “limitation” is and what you should find out when you first get a truck is what your specific truck is rated to tow or haul by the manufacturer. Every truck is different based on how it was built. Just because your truck has the power to tow something doesn’t mean it’s okay to do so. It’s against the law to overload a vehicle on public roads. Risk your life if you want, but don’t risk others.
@@bankspower 30K+ with a vehicle that weighs 7500 pounds and a max tow rating of 19K still comes in over weight. I know here in BC Canada you’d get nailed with fines if you were ever pulled over. How’s the 68 RFE handling that? I have a 2019 HO with the Aisin.

This video serves a very useful purpose: It shows just about every thing NOT to do when towing.
My Cummins/Aisin transmission pulled my fifth wheel across the Rockies.
Been there done that in my 2011 F250 6.7 powerstroke. Completely stock and pulling a 12,000 lb toyhauler. Had no problem at all. I have been all over the rockies, from Colorado to Wyoming and South Dakota. Ran thru the desert in Utah, New Mexico and Nevada with temps over 100 deg with no issues.
Adding wideband O2 readings to the iDash is a great idea.
I went to Breckinridge last week and yes there is no air my stock 6.0 was rolling coal up and down that stretch of I-70
That’s a tuning problem my man. I had a highly modified 6.0 Excursion and pulled a 13k lb toy hauler all the time with it. The only time I ever produced smoke is pulling away from a stop when turbo didn’t have time to spool up. Get a good tune and make that thing run clean and better.

Thinking the same too. I would love to hear Banks weigh in on that. I figured there would be more back pressure from the dpf, 1.5 psi doesn’t sound bad.
7:55 is where they talk about drive and boost pressure.
That's incredible! Actually putting the work in to optimize the turbo is incredible. I'm super impressed ATS!
Did he just say 1400 degrees for the egts?!?! Jesus Christ
DPFs man. Gotta keep them hot and happy.
@@txbubba96 Cummins pistons are aluminum.... continued temps of 1400 will melt them
I have a 2013 cummins bone stock that sees 1400 degrees regularly. Never melted anything. They have great piston cooling jets and a big ass oil cooler
@@mjberta7319you have about 8 second window at that gets and have to back off
Great video though --- and honestly, kudos to you guys appreciating the Banks system!!
Ok Clint...you live here --- you should know better --- Eisenhower east portal, 11,013 ft...west portal, 11,158 ft...and in fairness, you guys need to start running Loveland, 11,990 ft or Berthoud Pass, 11,306 ft...mostly because there is a HUUUUGE difference between 11,000 flat --- and 11,500 or 12,000...and really a telling amount of data that the EGT and turbo and piston temperature are going through in order to achieve a stock 300, 350 or 400HP.
Was that the Aisen transmission or the 68 RFE?
The highest point is at 11,158ft according to cdot. Vail pass itself is just over 10,000ft.
Actually closer to 10,600ft
Highest point is 11,322 ft ASL
I drove through that tunnel many times, the elevation is different on either side, one side is slightly less than 11k, and the other one is right over 11k. The tunnel itself, if i remember correctly, was like 1.7 miles long.
@@andreystarovoytov3337 The north tunnel is 21 feet shorter...1.693 vs. 1.697 miles
By the way --- little known fact...normally all the grades on the interstate road system were designed around an 8% grade --- however, the last grade, on the west side(west side, Eastbound) of Eisenhower, for roughly 750 feet, is 12%...right before you turn abruptly to the left to the tunnel approach.
Isn't a lifted truck counterintuitive to towing?
Pretty sure that truck is just leveled no lift in the rear. These RAMs are super tall from factory you can run 37” tires with just a 2.5 front level
Please. Can you tell me exactly what has been done to this truck. I really need this setup for my 19 3500 DRW
When are you working on Hoonigans 200mph diesel Camaro? 🤔🤔
Great video but you really need a 1 ton dually with what your pulling you might have the power but that don’t mean poop if you can’t keep it stable
Seen plenty of people in the ditch that thought their half ton was adequate for pulling a camper through north Dakota winds.
Awesome videos I will be taking that exact same route I will not be pulling anything but I will be driving a brand new truck for a brand new used truck from Cali to MN. Wish I had time to install two things I can watch it all on the data recorder but I guess I’ll just watch the videos

@@allanb3222 doesnt that just further the fact they did that intentionally?
Seems like that is a way of life these days. I see trailers on the left quite often, sometimes they are in the carpool lane !
@@Garth2011 nothing wrong with a trailer in carpool for most areas so long as the passenger count is met.
@@jaydunbar7538 Disagree. Any trailer type in CA is required to only use the right most lane except if passing. To get to the carpool lane you'd have to violate the right most lane restriction 3 or 4 times and then once you're in the HOV lane, you just broke another Vehicle code. Check the books, in CA trailers are a no go. Not sure what CO has in their VC book but I'd guess its the same.
That was lame Gale! All lies and only thing banks was the data monster?
Lies about what?
I would like to know what gear ratio and tire size that truck has? Those transitions are pretty good for 30,000 pounds

Keep it in your lane, ching gow
Ats transmissions are awwwwwwwwfuuuuuuul
Have you owned one? What happened with it?
A Th ive seen them come in with gas motor parts in $7000 builds.
Jon Meray damn. I was considering getting a trans and turbo at the first of next year
A Th oh man i wouldnt give that trans to my worst enemy
Little more info would be nice, then only shouting that it’s bad.
Maybe you where using wrong the fluids.
0:29 ... Thats what she said!
That trailer is not safe with all the weight on the rear axle like that. Flip the axle with a Dexter kit and it will tow level.
They work great on 3rd gens give banks a call and order one of these 🤣
Jk fyi .... you can't use these on a third gen alone......
When can we expect derringer for 2020 powerstroke
is there a compound turbo kit for the 2020 Cummins 6.7?
Auto makers will be on the edge of their seats (it seems) in the near future when all of the EPA restrictions for diesel get tighter the next few years. DPF back pressures will be something they should monitor and engineer to be almost zero if they plan on selling trucks to folks that will use them as intended.
Dpf back pressure is at zero, if it's working correctly.
The numbers would definately be better if all emission controls "fell of the truck".
We don't have to worry about the EPA for another 4 yrs, when Trump gets out.
@@timleung9726 Some folks just don't get the idea and health concerns. Soot and black smoke is the sign of a poorly tuned engine. Once they get fuel to burn 100%, the engine has it's maximum power and torque. Lots of information on this right here on Banks channel. They've almost got it cleaned up except for the NOx.
@Garth Clark: I'm glad I have the right tune with my mini max! I need to deliberately stomp on the pedal to be rollin coal. Next upgrade: FASS titanium 165gph lift pump.
I think I need to get one. Better then buy 10 gauge clusters
I just purchased a 2021 ram 2500 with the Cummins any things to watch out for Im a duramax guy I have a 2012 Cummins but it’s a different animal and it’s manual so I didn’t have to worry about the trans only the clutch .
Will this set up work on a 24 valve 5.9 Cummins?
Yes. With some slightly different parts. Go to the ATS and Banks websites
Would be really cool to see a co-development between ATS and Banks
Indeed lots of good information, but Clint you really do have to sort out your towing issues. Get it leveled out, get a 3500 you are dangerously overloaded & the idiot comments are taking away from the solid info in the video. 2013 Ram 3500 154k , Aisin Trans with 410's (changed to 3:82 with 20" DDC hub centric wheels), Banks monster intake & I am about to install ATS VFR turbo, I am 32,500 with the weight ticket to prove it. (DRV Lx455 with a dresser in the garage) Running Amsoil in the transmission (dropped trans temp by 50 degrees immediately) Never a problem through the Rockies. Looking at the idash next after your turbo. Get your camera crew ready & we will bring the rig by & run the gauntlet for you. (shame on the guys name calling in their comments be adults)
cool setup
I looked up the 5th wheel the side by side and the small trailer 22000.lbs tops about 10000 lbs less than you claimed! With that said hard to believe anything else you say,
22,000 in trailers/side by side + the 8,000 truck = GCWR of 30,000 give or take. The truck was required to move a gross combined weight of ~ 30,000 lbs
What is the wheel, tire and suspension setup on this truck??
yeah but have you been through coquihalla highway
Nothing better than buying a new Dodge truck to only spend $10k on the engine to make it tow better.
Or just buy a Ford
I AM LOOKING TO PURCHASE A 2015 PLATINUM FORD 350 DUALLY CREW CAB WITH 6.7 ENGINE. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ALL OR ANYTHING RELATED HERE . THIS IS SAID TO BE THE 2 ND GENERATION 6.7. THANK YOU
I'm going to put my ass on the line (because I'm still under warranty and currently waiting for warranty work) and tell everyone that can see this to go to Revmax or some other builder. I'm on my 4th or 5th (I think, can't remember because its been so much) transmission in 2 years from ATS and now has to be replaced again. They had blamed it on my tuning from HPP (now CTT) saying that 220psi line pressure was too much on their stage 3 68rfe, so they had me purchase their co pilot. They blamed it on my factory transmission cooling capacity 2014 ram 3500 dually so they told me to purchase a external cooler/fan. I bought a derale 35,000btu fan/cooler combo. 2 transmissions were bad straight from them when they shipped to their "authorized installer". Each time I have had to wait for over a month before they even ship a transmission even though they have them in stock and sell them to new customers without a delay. The first failure the torque convertor failed and took the transmission with it, second failure i got the transmission and the OD and UD clutches failed within a couple days and would slip with anything over 30% throttle and the transmission ran 214°F plus from the day of install. 3 transmission failed on the test drive after install, its replacement had a bad valve body found on the test drive after install and now after a year of babying a transmission that I told them was bad after install because the torque convertor clutch would slip under 60% throttle in OD and UD (they told me it was just the new GPZ clutch packs needing to break in) I have a failed transmission again. It takes 30 days to get a replacement leaving me without a vehicle that I need to tow my RV around.
Try GOEREND iv got one of their built trannys its been flawless they also answer the phone if you got questions.Out of all their reviews iv yet to see a bad one.
30k lbs? You got some bulldozers inside that trailer
I agree! No way he's hauling 30k+ lbs.
So he claims max power is what he’s at... 19psi is max? My lmm “max” is 25psi. The motor isn’t at max until your turbo is wound up to max boost for what it’s set at in the tune
Runs very clean. AFR 19 is around lambda 1.3 and that is very nice. Do you use piggy back to tune this truck or do you modifie the software on the ecu. Was this the ecodiesel ?
The ecodiesel is in 1500's. This is the 6.7 Cummins
@@TheRoostersGarage what ecu is used for cummins engine ?
@@DVerbe I don't know what ATS is using with this setup.
@@TheRoostersGarage i should have mentioned that i was talking about the stock ecu.
@@DVerbe The stock ECU is whatever Dodge puts in. I don't have any detailed info, other than a Cummins tech I know hooked up his Cummins tool to his 6.7 Dodge and it said it wasn't a Cummins engine meaning it's not Cummins programming.
Are you guys running a lift pump to maintain those AFR’s with that set up? If so what brand? Just curious how the CP4 holds up to the bigger jobs like a larger turbo.
I need to upgrade my fully deleted ram 3500 dually's lift pump real soon. Looking at FASS fuel 165gph titanium. I've heard Airdogs tend to malfunction. That is why they have an excellent warranty program.
On the 4th gen Cummins motors you swap out the cp4 to a twin cp3 system for higher power applications
Please don’t encourage double towing again, opens the door to so many more dangers, people without a CDL shouldn’t be doing this. See it all the time here in Utah and I’ve also seen multiple accidents and near accidents.
What kind of brake package is added with the stage three set up?
Are those egts acceptable
I want to get an iDash for my 95 F350 Powerstroke but it says it's for 1996+ vehicles that have OBD2 even though my 95 came from the factory with OBD2 and communicates on the SAE J1850PWM protocol. I know I've heard tales of the 94.5 and up OBS Powerstrokes having both the Ford OBD connector and the OBD2 one from the factory but had to have the PCM flashed so it could use the OBD2 port which also left the OBD1 port useless afterwords. All that said would an iDash work on my 95 since it does use the J1850PWM protocol?
The iDash 1.8 (iDash DataMonster and iDash Super Gauge) read CAN data. Your 96 is pre-CAN. Yes, you have OBD, but not CAN. CAN was mandated in 2008. Our current iDash offerings are CAN data only. However, we do hope to release a pre-CAN (J1850PWM) at some point in the near future.
Was this driving test done with the factory Cummings transmission or with one of your own ATS transmissions
Cummins..... there's no need to add extra letters... it's spelled and pronounced Cummins...
Most of these comments are annoying. 1: He's in the left lane because he doesn't want to give up any stream. He's data logging and doing product development. I pull 18k regularly with my 05 Dodge dually and I always have some slow ass car or truck holding me up. 2: Yes he's probably including the weight of the truck. I agree he shouldn't and it would've been better if he had a weight slip. 3: Trailers have brakes rated for the GVWR of the trailer and he's going up hill at 65. Not exactly an unsafe speed. 4: last but not least, I thought California was going to separate from the continent and sink or float away soon? I can't wait! By By commifornia 😁
What are the brand and model of those Ram wheels?
217 degrees on the coolant temp and we're not even scratching the surface ? 212 is boiling right?
Austin B87 212* is the boiling point of water, “correct” but that is not under pressure , pressure increases the boiling point , now ADD anti-freeze it goes up again ! So maybe someone can give us the true new boiling points.
50/50 mix with ethylene glycol and water with a 15 psi cap should put boiling near 270F (132C). You have other issues well below those temps, but boiling won’t be a problem.
The ATS transmissions SUCK! They probably had to rebuild it once it made it back to the shop. Towed back is more like it! I had to remove my transmission twice, and paid for the shipping from Texas, so that they could rebuild it. The reason they offer a 5 year 500,0000 warranty is because most people won't pay to remove and ship it back to them. By far the biggest mistake I have made. My transmission is still under warranty and needs to be looked at for the third time since they first rebuilt it. I am not even going to bother sending the transmission back to have them look at it. I rather just pay someone locally to rebuild it once it goes completely out. Also, if you live in Denver and still plan to have them rebuild and replace anything on your truck, you better think again. I had them remove and replace my transmission once when I was there. The next time I had to remove it I noticed that they didn't properly torque the bolts ( some being finger tight). They also cracked the rear engine cover where the starter is located. This was because they placed one of the longer bolts in the wrong spot. In the end, this transmission and anything else will cost you more than the initial purchase price.
What transmission? 68RFE?
GOEREND TRANSMISSION.
If it's anything like your stage 3 68 you better put it together with wing nuts. ... three transmission in a year and it's still not right !!!
I hope he knows that when double towing you can only be 65" long! I would think hes close if not over.
i have 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel i want to transmission Update
you have two trailers that's pulling double not triple
Ok, nothing against ATS, by why the hell wouldn't you go to Mike L. at Inglewood transmission? He is an Allison God and just down the freeway in Fullerton??? I mean, come on!
Just a sales vid on the idash....
I wonder how many brake applications going down the hill???
Hopefully minimal given they could use what the truck has (engine brake and manual gear selection) unlike what the other channel does.
@alan. You miss the point of the “other channel”. They are testing the FACTORY trailer tow calibration to determine its effectiveness. Any idiot can manually select gears, but when the manufacturers tout their “Tow/Haul” mode, wouldn’t you think it would be a good idea to see how well it works?
Mike K I wasn’t knocking TFL at all, just saying their methodology doesn’t take into account what a driver should be doing in such a situation. But if a vehicle is equipped with a feature (exhaust brake) just for such situations, shouldn’t that be tested as well then?
I didn't know it was legal to tow that way...
Check your State Laws. It is about not only weight but length too. My buddy got pulled over with 5th wheel and boat and trailer. It was too long. He dropped the 5th wheel and had family stay in it and then moved the boat. I warned him. 😏🧐.
Depending on your license and the state, places like North Dakota commercial drivers can pull dual 53 foot trailers.
Yes you are allowed to tow double in recreational use and farm exemption. Any other scenario you need a CDL with a double and triple endorsement
@@hitchedzebra59_42 I knew about the cdl double/triple endorsement as it's common to see where I'm at, but I've never seen it for recreational before.

But yes Cummins makes the best engine for heavy duty pickups that actually see heavy use. But unless your doing 100k miles a year at 30k pounds it doesnt matter as you won't bump into that factor. For driving it to the grocery store and pulling your camper a few times a year it really doesn't matter, whichever one your dad said was best will work great.

@@roryrohrer7640 “Tires are what your weight limitations are based on mostly” 🤦♂️
@@RealEyezRealLiez well seeing as if you aren't going to put enough weight over your axles to brake them and smash the springs flat your tires are the first thing that will blow while towing so yes tires are the main limiting factor. Let be clear the 30-32k this video claims he is pulling is GVW that's both trailers and the truck he is actually only putting the weight of the 5th on his truck which is 1500 to 2000 lbs of tung weight the toy hualer weighs 17-18k his little trailer and sxs together might weight 3k and the truck is 8k, the 5th wheel has brakes there is nothing wrong with this setup the truck is totally capable to pull this. I just don't think it the single rear wheel is the safest if I where to pull this rig (which I wouldn't I would just put the damn sxs in the trailer and call it good.
@@roryrohrer7640 If you get some properly rated tires for the truck that you intend to tow with, you’ll figure out that tires actually handle more weight than the axles. For my truck, my Ridge Grapplers are rated to hold 3750 lbs each. 2 tires per axle equals 7500 lbs. My axles are only rated to 7000 lbs.
What your actual “limitation” is and what you should find out when you first get a truck is what your specific truck is rated to tow or haul by the manufacturer. Every truck is different based on how it was built. Just because your truck has the power to tow something doesn’t mean it’s okay to do so. It’s against the law to overload a vehicle on public roads. Risk your life if you want, but don’t risk others.

He was referring to total gross weight.
@@bankspower 30K+ with a vehicle that weighs 7500 pounds and a max tow rating of 19K still comes in over weight. I know here in BC Canada you’d get nailed with fines if you were ever pulled over. How’s the 68 RFE handling that? I have a 2019 HO with the Aisin.
