Greg everyone has their own preference as far as sound goes. I’ve got the 5 inch tbe and I can hardly hear it in the cab. The neighbors aren’t fond of it though 😎 Go ahead and pull that egr cooler now so install will be a breeze. That takes the most time and the biggest PITA.

[@GrumblesM4]

@@JHeck1989 thanks amigo! Pretty much anything to me on this truck is a breeze been working on Powerstrokes for years, the Cummins is so nice after smashing my hands up all those years. The fuel mileage I get stock just blows my ford out the water. F250 deleted with tunes and stage 2 turbo 450 Hp 360 miles per tank. Same routes in the ram no tune 515 miles per tank. Most of the time i fill up with 26.5 to 27.3 gallons. But yeah man im loving the ram just missing the sound. Emissions warranty just ended and somehow that dang DPF system fell off.

Hey this is my first vid of watching you and I have 07 cummins with an H&S mini max aswell, Just wondering how much did the tuning cost roughly? How long did they take? Btw sounds great man

[@brandon.jansen]

Custom tuning typically costs around $150 or so but it depends on the tuner. Then you also need the MCC unlock code which is $300 and I'd recommend the trans tuning unlock code as well which is $200. Turn around time is generally very quick as it's all done via email. They just need your VIN and then they can write the tune file and email it to you. If you want some more information contact Ray Rich at Double R Diesel and let him know I sent you and he can get you taken care of.

[@Alviniscute]

I don't even need to tow, but I want a setup like this so badly!!

[@tbone0145]

Sweet truck Brandon , was wondering where you ordered all your led's from ? And also how you went about installing the cabin filter , Thanks!

[@brandon.jansen]

I got my interior LED's off Amazon. I found a package that included all necessary interior LED's for a Ram. They all fit and work great. Installing the cabin air filter is very simple. You just need to pull out the glove box and cut out the area marked on the heater box, then put in the filter and the cap over top. You can read up on it more on it in post #612 of my build thread - www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=151614&page=62

Best video i have seen for sound clips of exhaust on a cummins! I want to go with the 8" BDS 4-link & 37's as well but not sure if the truck will be to high for the police in my state. Every video on here that supposedly has this setup the height looks completely different from truck to truck. In New Hampshire they go by the height of the bottom of the bumper. Is there a chance you could measure from the ground to the bottom of yours? It would be much appreciated. Im not sure if they count the air dam or not so a measurement of both would be great. Thank you so much in advance. Great video (you should make more!) and great truck...

[@mattjohnson1511]

An 8in lift is HUGE my guy - I had a 5in lift w/ 35s on my 2nd gen and even that was a pain to get in an out of. Also, you can fit 37s on these 4th gen Cummins with a leveling kit and minimal trimming. Good luck!

[@brandon.jansen]

Yup, no worries. Definitely agree that it's good to have on there. Yes I did buy the truck new. I've done pretty much all of the build myself with the exception of the gear swap and the headlight build. Thanks for the compliment!

[@cumminspower2473]

What did you have to do after gear swap for your truck to shift normal again i went to 4.56 from a 3.42 and a 35 inch tire my tuner said to send him a data log of my truck shift points and he could make me one to shift closer to stock meaning now I shift into over drive and through gears a lot faster now due to higher trans output shaft speeds ect obviously I know it's never going to shift at the same points it did with 3.42 due to higher rpms now but there has to be something you can do to make it more enjoyable to drive without shifting through gears so fast. also have the 68 trans as well I'm sure I'm experiencing a little more earlier shifts then you did due to I'm running a 2 inch smaller tire

[@LeeLee-qd3xq]

Can you tell the trailer is behind you as in Does it slow down some accelerating

[@brandon.jansen]

You can tell it's there for sure. It, of course, slows it down over being empty if you try to give it the same amount of fuel. But giving it a little more fuel gets it all moving no problem. Overall it pulls like a beast.

[@brandon.jansen]

The 5.9cr tune gives it the lower sound over other 6.7's for sure.

[@MattS-ey9gr]

Thinking of doing the 4.56 gears on my truck as I'm also running 37's. Would you say they made a really big improvement in the trucks performance, especially while towing? Thanks

[@brandon.jansen]

They were one of the biggest improvements performance wise for sure. I couldn't stand driving it with the 37's and stock 3.73's; swapping to 4.56's made it WAY better to drive. And towing it's pretty much unstoppable. I've pulled this trailer weighing in at +/- 10,000 lbs up 7% grades in 5th gear and don't even slow down. I'm very impressed with how it performs with weight behind it.

[@GrugiestGrug]

If you dont care as much about frills and can wrench a bit, go for a 2nd gen 12v(94-98.5). Simple motor that doesnt throw a fit over a bad ground or some cheap sensor. The 24v vp44 (98.5 - 02) are a bit more problematic with expensive electronic fueling issues and other electrical problems (mopar 🤷‍♂️). 3rd gen common rail 5.9's (03-07.5)are nice and a bit less problematic. Just try to stay clear of anything around 08 from any manufacturer really (since they were all trying to figure out emissions then) No matter what you go with, if its dodge try and find a manual one if you have any plans to tune/tow heavy often. These autos dont stand up to much abuse unless you shell out the cash to build them.

[@-noahhimes-1892]

If you want a mixture of overall reliability and performance go for an early 3rd gen(2003-2006) with an nv5600 trans. 5.9 24v common rail best part is still no emissions.

I know this is an older video but I gotta ask, given the chance would you go with this gear ratio again? I just bought a 2018 and I’m planning on getting 35s so i know I’m going to need a regear in the near future

[@brandon.jansen]

If I did it over again I'd probably go with 4.30's for 37's. The 4.56's tow like a beast but are a little low for unloaded highway driving; I'd like to get the rpm back down for those trips when necessary. So it partially comes down to your own needs/setup for the truck and what you plan on doing with it. Grimm Jeeper is a good online gear ratio calculator to determine roughly where you'll end up with different gear ratios/tire sizes.

[@austenazevedo6078]

Is the 4 inch system in this video the one that bolts onto the stock downpipe?

[@brandon.jansen]

No, it's a 2012 so it doesn't have the flange at the end of the downpipe like the 13+ trucks do. So this is straight from the turbo. Same idea as bolting to the flange on the 13+ trucks because I don't think there's a cat in the downpipe on them like there was in the 07.5-12.

[@austenazevedo6078]

Brandon Jansen okay so the 2014 shouldn't have a cat in there?

[@brandon.jansen]

I believe the cat is after the downpipe on a 2014.

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

Do you have a defuel level set for egts ? If so what temp and where is it located ?

[@brandon.jansen]

Jeebraa Pskiii nope. Don't run defuels on a MiniMaxx for anything. They only pull pack fuel and not injection timing which is a great way to blow a head gasket. You're better off just watching your gauges and let off a bit if the EGT's are getting too hot.

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

Brandon Jansen what is too hot for a 6.7 cummins ? My pyro is on my manifold right by cylinder 5 and 6 in egr blocker plate. My bully dog gt diesel has defueling so when boost is too high or pyro temp it returns truck to stock tune until it's back in the safe numbers.

[@brandon.jansen]

Jeebraa Pskiii I'd still turn them off completely. Bully Dog uses the same tuning platform as a MiniMaxx. Returning it to the stock tune fuel level wise doesn't pull back the timing. The block off plate typically runs about 100-150 cooler than the collector. In the collector typically 1250 sustained is a good number but it can handle spikes up to 1600 for short periods of time.

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

Brandon Jansen, you got me confused a bit with the timing if my boost gets to high and it defuels even if it only pulls back the fuel I shouldn't blow a head gasket cause it won't explode as hard with less fuel but same timing ? Em I close to right ? And with egts, when u say collecter you mean where manifold goes into one right before turbo ? cylinder 5 & 6 are the hottest any way so I probably shouldn't let them get over 1200 ? My truck is all stock other than 5" turbo back straight pipe and the bully dog tuner ? I seen max boost psi was 32 on my truck on stock tune so I set defuel to 34 so it can't go over 33 and I have been running it in performance tune for the most part and noticed a littler high egts when WOT, 940 max sorry if I ask to much questions hehe Oh and also can't I keep my defuels on ? because it will kinda help and mainly tell me when I'm pushing to hard so than I can let of cause when it defuels I let off I don't keep on the throttle.

[@brandon.jansen]

High boost (in this application) isn't what could cause the head gasket to blow. Too much timing with not enough fuel increases combustion pressure which can potentially blow the head gasket. That's why it's best to turn the defuel settings off and just monitor your gauges yourself. Yes, the collector of the manifold just before the turbo flange. That's the hottest location and typically about 150°F hotter than having it in the rear block off plate. It's also most accurate as the heat in the turbo is what you're trying to monitor so the closer to the turbo the better. 32-36 psi sounds about right for your setup. You don't want to push the stock turbo much past that as it becomes inefficient past 36 psi. 34 psi is a good max number to see. Again, I would turn all the defuels off and just monitor your gauges and let off when needed.

[@badiesel19]

does your truck have a 2nd gen manifold, sounds good

[@brandon.jansen]

Nope I'm still running the stock manifold and VGT. The deeper sound partially comes from the custom tuning I'm running that keeps the exhaust vanes open more to make it sound more like a fixed vane turbo.

#Brandon Jansen how's the 68rfe holding up and is it stock or built?

[@brandon.jansen]

It's fully stock still with the exception of custom tuning. I haven't had any issues with it so far. I believe the custom tuning definitely helps. I'm running increased line pressure and have changes pretty much all the shift points both up and down to keep the truck running in a good rpm range. Keeping it from lugging at low rpm goes a long ways. Then a big factor is how you drive it. Not mashing the skinny pedal in the overdrive gears (5th or 6th) helps a lot as well.

No tether, just the GoPro suction cup mount. It works very well and I've never been concerned with it coming off. I've run it on the side of my race car doing 130 mph and it stays on. The GoPro was in the open back skeleton case. No external mic, just the GoPro itself. I was definitely happy with the sound quality out of this one as well.

Brandon Jansen Not bad. I've heard people claiming 22-24 mpg on the highway at like 70 mph with the newer 6.7 doesn't seem like that could be possible for such a large truck and motor

the 2013+ trucks with the new ECM and DEF do get far better mileage. I'd say 22-24 mpg is reasonable given the right circumstances however most guys will be lower. I also don't believe anyone that goes solely off the EVIC. Need to use an app or hand calculate to get proper numbers for sure.

The difference in size changes the sound. 5" is deeper. Once you get into higher performance than a 5" is required for air flow as well but a 4" works fine to 600-650hp. I changed my exhaust to a 5" with muffler in the summer and like that setup quite a bit more than the 4" straight pipe in this video.

No way man! Ive been watching your truck vids for years now and always loved them, that would've been the coolest thing to see your truck in person driving down the road

[@nathanbailey4950]

What size exhaust tip on the 4”?

[@brandon.jansen]

5” dual wall tip on that setup.

[@trailrider1558]

I love this truck. But what do you do for a living that allows you to afford all of the mods that you did to the truck?

[@brandon.jansen]

Trailrider155 I'm a project manager/estimator for a general contractor. Started at 20 years old and work hard.

[@trailrider1558]

Brandon Jansen that's awesome man. Major respect for you, I hope to one day own a truck like yours.

[@mattr7118]

Trailrider155 you don't have to make a fortune. Most of the guys who buy these trucks put them on credit and are upside down on the truck for the entirety of their ownership. A buddy of mine lives in a double wide, has a $70,000 ford, and makes 31k a year. It doesn't take much.

[@rollincoal3963]

Trailrider155 Hey bud, don’t pay attention to the last post, John Doe, that’s a pretty ignorant statement to say. Everyone’s finances are different just as much as their choice in a truck. Some finance, some pay cash. I traded in a 2015 SLT CCSB automatic Cummins that was paid for, for a new 2018 CCLB Cummins G56, put down a couple bucks too & only financed $21k. My son bought a 2004 CCLB automatic 2 yrs ago for $19k & paid cash for it so I don’t agree with what that last guy said. Buy what you can afford & work ur way up to what you really want, it’ll make your final purchase worth the hard work.

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

What RPM is it at when it sounds like it’s rapping off ? Sounds sick, wanna make my truck sound identical

[@brandon.jansen]

I don't remember exactly but it was likely around 2100-2200 rpm.

[@222foxracer]

My 14 with 4” straight doesn’t get raspy at all. It’s actually quite mild. 🤨

[@LeeLee-qd3xq]

@@222foxracer I've changed my exhaust literally 100 times with 4 and 5 inch different exhaust exits I made my own the more restrictions your exhaust has the more you get the sound the more free flowing it is seems to have a more whistle sound

[@222foxracer]

Lee Lee this clip you had just a straight 4” with a 5” tip?

[@LeeLee-qd3xq]

@@222foxracer this isn't my clip I'm just telling you from my experience on my 6.7

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

How come you choose to go with 4” and not 5”

[@brandon.jansen]

I went 4" originally because I thought I liked the sound better based off videos I had found on KZbin. I switched to a 5" with muffler a couple years ago and am much happier with the setup.

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

Brandon Jansen does the 5" still have that rapping off sound at 2100-2200 RPM ?

[@brandon.jansen]

It still gets loud and changes sound there but doesn't have the same rapping sound. Overall the 5" sounds a lot better in my opinion. Still good and loud when you want it to be but not obnoxious and in your face constantly. Doesn't drone when towing either like the 4" did.

[@jeebraapskiii5848]

Brandon Jansen could you do a start up vid or one just like this one with the 5" ? I trying to decide with or with out muffler

[@Maxboost180]

Lord Walker I’d like to hear this too

[@jessehart2411]

What hp tune do you run towing ?

[@brandon.jansen]

When I tow for a long trip I run it around 40hp over stock. I have a specific tune file from Double R Diesel for towing and works very well.

[@wildhorse192001]

Truck sounds and looks badass man! What would you recommend I do first to a 2012 2500 Cummins automatic? Would like to delete the egr valve and cooler, delete the DPF, and possibly the muffler too. Wasn't aware they had a turbo silencer ring, probably will delete that as well

[@brandon.jansen]

Thanks man! Deletes are one of the first things I did and I highly recommend it. When you install a delete tuner you have to delete the DPF at the same time. The tuner will turn off the EGR as well but I recommend removing it completely along with the cooler. The turbo silencer ring is a bit of a pain to remove. You have to take the compressor housing off the turbo and drill out 3 pins to get it out. Definitely does make the turbo louder though but it's not as clean of a whistle sound as a fixed vane aftermarket turbo.

[@wildhorse192001]

Awesome man, thanks for the info! We actually ordered a sinister EGR cooler and valve delete, throttle valve delete, a mini maxx tuner, and a full 4 inch aluminized exhaust yesterday. It's gonna go down on Saturday morning lol

[@wildhorse192001]

I want mine to bellow like yours does right when it upshifts, I used to have a 2500 hemi that was straight piped that did that too, miss that truck. Damn that thing was fast lol

[@wildhorse192001]

Oh yeah. I'm also doing a CCV delete and external filter, don't want that oil feeding into that VGT

[@wildhorse192001]

Brandon is your truck a 68RFE or Aisin trans? I have the 68, been reading a lot of horror stories about it, makes me nervous lol

[@rnlns]

Are you towing on stock hitch? What's the rating on a stock hitch

[@brandon.jansen]

Yes, stock hitch on the truck. It's a Class IV rated for 10,000 lbs.

[@zufeltcody]

What's the trailer weight?

[@brandon.jansen]

In this video it was pretty empty so it was around 5500 lbs.

[@thismexicanhatestrump4628]

the things I would do for a truck like that

[@charleshung8519]

hows the drone when towing?

[@brandon.jansen]

It definitely got a bit droney in the higher rpm range. Towing up hills etc. I ended up swapping it out for a 5" exhaust with muffler and am much happier with this setup. Better tone all around, slightly quieter so it's not so obnoxious, and no drone when towing.

[@thatyellowguy64]

what kind of muffler did you put on

[@brandon.jansen]

Flo-Pro's 5" muffler that comes with their 1648 kit.

[@kevingalindo1]

Brandon Jansen Hey bud looking at buying a Cummins to tow my 8.5 x 20 enclosed from Texas to Oregon, mountain passes kill my gasser. What mileage should I expect and what engine would you recommend? Totally new to diesels. Thanks and have a good one.

[@automobile5953]

[@sticrzy123]

How’s the truck doing , did you just do delete pipes and what too did you use ?

[@brandon.jansen]

Working great! In this video I had a full 4" Flo Pro turbo back kit. Since then I've swapped to a 5" Flo Pro with muffler. Still a full turbo back exhaust.

[@Derrick_FL]

@@brandon.jansen since the switch, what do you like/dislike from 4 to 5.? My 4" race pipe and efi live arrive next week. Your video and truck are what I keep listening to and watching lol

[@brandon.jansen]

@@Derrick_FL the 5" has a better sound/tone to it in my opinion. Deeper, less raspy, just better overall. It's still loud but not obnoxiously loud like the 4" straight pipe was at times. The 4" straight pipe sucked for towing as it droned a lot up in the RPM range you want to be in pulling hills. A muffler would have helped with that I'm sure but I wanted to go for the full deeper tone of the 5".

[@Derrick_FL]

@@brandon.jansen crazy. Lots of guys say they get more drone on the 5. I dont haul much at all. Just my boat to the launch. I do a bunch of town driving. So, living on the beach and not a hwy area I figured I should delete sooner than later. Good thing the race pipe wasnt expensive. If it's to raspy I may try a muffler. All fails I'll do 5 with a 30 in muffler. But yours still sounded awesome to me from this video. Thanks for the reply.

[@dylanheise9655]

what's VGT

[@brandon.jansen]

Variable Geometry Turbo. That's what all the 6.7 Cummins run from the factory. If I remember correctly it's a Holset HE351.

[@downhiller96rules]

I'd move to America just to own one of these hahah soo jealous

[@dieselfreak69]

Could use some grease on that hitch...

[@brandon.jansen]

It was greased right after this video. This was the first time out with it this year and I didn't realize it was so dry before hooking up.

[@krayzyr1]

Do you get high egts on this set up?

[@brandon.jansen]

I turn down the tune when towing which helps a lot. But on steep, long hills I have to watch the pyrometer to keep the EGT’s in check; definitely not a mash the throttle and forget about it setup. Around town and not in the mountains the EGT’s aren’t a problem though.

[@krayzyr1]

@@krayzyr1 sounds about the same as me depending on where your EGT probe is. Mine’s in the collector of the manifold just above the turbo and I typically hold it around 1250°F pulling long hills.
