My 2013 ram 2500 4x4 6.7L cummins with a work tune, deleted dpf. I bought it with 48k miles .Still has the egr cooler and egr valve. Has 228,000 miles and never had the valve cover off except to change the ccv filter (I bypassed it and routed a hose to the passenger side wheel well.) I do the same maintenance as you do!! I change the oil and fuel filters around 10-12k miles, have only used Fleetguard oil filters and shell rotella 15w-40 and it always starts and runs!! Only major issue I had was the transmission input shaft broke. Rebuilt it with billet parts. Broke the input shaft at 168k, has 228k now and still runs and works everyday. Daily driver, tow rig, work truck for my own business,
Appreciate the video, Paul. Been running T6 in both my 4th and 5th gen. I forgot the code but I had changed the air filter and went with a wix on my 5th gen, it threw a code a few hundred miles later. I read up on it and went back to a oem genuine air filter, code gone and never came back. I've read the 5th gens are picky with air filters. My 4th gen is not. I agree wix and fleetguard excellent products. Truck looks damn good for the mileage you have on it💪👍
I ordered two Fleetguard CCV filters on Amazon from different sellers. One was an exact match (except the date code) for the original filter that came off the motor. The other was an excellent counterfeit. In fact, some of the rough-around-the-edges spots on the actual Fleetguard were BETTER (smoother/straighter) on the counterfeit. The counterfeits are getting good. Same with fuel filters. Be careful where you buy important maintenance parts.
Great idea Paul, thanks for this series, look forward to seeing the rest of the videos. My 2012 only has 80k miles on the odometer, I do lots of slow speed city driving in traffic so I pay more attention to hrs instead of miles for oil and filter change intervals. Usually I go 200-250 hrs and winds up being only 3-4k miles. How many hrs do yours usually accumulate over those 15k intervals?
Hey my 2022 Cummins has felt like it lost performance recently. Especially while I’m towing. I’m always on time with maintenance and I do it myself. If you have any idea what it could be. Greatly appreciate it. Currently have 59k miles on the odometer Oil intervals at 7,500 miles I use T6 5w40 Oem fuel filters. At 15k Air filter I’ve only changed it twice
Thinking about a new pickup. I tow every day. Medium weight - nothing too heavy. Did you move away from the ram because of the newer cam design? Or just all of the stelantis bs? And - are you worried at all about the ford cp4? I ask because I’m not nearly as educated as you on these trucks. Hoping for a tip to help the decision. Thanks! Love the content.
I'm glad somebody has love for our 4th gens. I don't want the new truck problems or payment lol.

27k on my '21 2500. Glad to to see this video series come out as I don't plan on ever getting rid of this truck.
Already at 13,000 miles on a 2023 Ram high output Cummins dually.

My 2017 Ram has 440,000 on after market filters, and never an issue with it yet!
Changed oil from schaffers to Rotella ? Wow never would have expected that
Right?
@@caseyballard6829 all he has ever done is preach Schaffers oil got me to change over and now Rotella what the crap is he thinking
@@shanenelms9740 I did the same thing I swapped to Schaffers from rotella because of him and a couple of other channels now he is running rotella
@@shanenelms9740well rotella has been in the game for over 10 years. Good tride and true
@@shanenelms9740 exactly I swapped from rotella to Schaffers because of him and a few others channels. Now he is running rotella

We need a Schaeffer's story.....you had mentioned a while back you might explain why you switched

Currently have 59k miles on the odometer
Oil intervals at 7,500 miles
I use T6 5w40
Oem fuel filters. At 15k
Air filter I’ve only changed it twice
Ccv filter maybe
@@daye3371 I hope that’s it. I still have 15k miles until I have to replace that.
What wheels and tires are this. 20x 9 or 10? 35?

He has a few videos about his experience with the 22s, think they broke his spirit.
Stanadyne come out with a cp4 replacement for the powerstrokes, the dcr
I would say daily drive as many miles as possible . Avoid living in the salt rust regions. Be fastidious about maintenance
Why dont you run amsoil products? Oil/filters etc...?
I really like Amsoil products, but the are on the expensive side. Running it in a fleet which racks up miles quick will add up in cost.
It's a truck and not a jet.
5k max oil changes
You can get your oil samples tested. My brothers 6.7 powerstroke running rotella t6 5w40 was perfect after 15k miles
5,000 MILEAGE OIL CHANGE CRAZY OR WISE ???😂
Dont tow heavy and dont pull over. 65 mph.
Toyota 🙌
