2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 HD Trucks: New Look, New Cummins Engine and New Transmission

[@LetsDriveYT]

What do you think of the new diesel engine and would you trade the current one for the 7.2-l mill??? Cummins is also developing a petrol engine! Watch here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpvdk2aLfJmdh5I

[@arjunkundu393]

Ram should really bring back the manual transmission for their trucks

[@killmuthafuka3991]

Heck yea a g56 or a Eaton 10speed manual jeez that would be rad in a non emission 2024 or 25

You don't always need the most HP and the most TRQ to get the job done reliably and also have the durability you desire. Some people will only settle for the MOST, but that's not always the total answer.

[@leemckee1272]

Ram should start tilting the front of the hoods downward to reduce the front blind spot. My 3rd gen 5.9 hood slants downward significantly more that later generations. Every truck maker seems to increase the front blind spot more with each redesign.

[@stewartjernigan4219]

Our hoods on the kenworth are taller because the radiator and intercooler are bigger to get rid of the tremendous heat that emissions diesel produces,thanks to that shite ob a ob the pretend president of the USA THAT KILLED longevity of big diesel engines

I find Ford has the best visibility

[@crazyeyedassasin]

It seems to be a new car design all around. Test drove a bunch of crossovers for my wife. They all made you feel like youre sitting to low.

[@dundonrl]

There's a reason for that, engine cooling. To tow up to 40,000 lbs you NEED a huge radiator and you can't get that with a small front end.

[@jimturpin6503]

I've got 276,000 miles on my RAM 2500 with no problems. The transmission is still good. But, when it is time I would love to try that new ZF Powerline.

[@sonsofliberty3081]

The 6.7l is a 404ci motor. The 7.2 is a 435ci. It won't make a ton of difference, but it will allow the motor to breathe and maybe not clog the def so fast

[@brettposten2433]

If it has emissions it’s gonna have to be bigger and more robust just because it’s a bigger engine. It’ll still suck just like all the other engines with def

[@econrey]

[@Sjanzo]

Bigger engine means lower combustion temperatures means faster DPF clogging. Only an Ecodiesel will solve that.

[@joshuamoore24_7]

These companies should incorporate a front hood/cowling/ fenders that tilt forward like the big rigs!!!! With locking release handles that pull out and twist to unlock after using a key to unlock the handles. So that the front body hood/fenders/crawling section is able to be locked for security reasons .

Hold up, the gm trans isn't an al. Them and ford co developed that transmission. Gm makes it in china and shipps it here. It's the exact same thing. The difference is computer programming, that's it. Gm is allowed to use the name plate. The new 8sp has been put for almost 3yrs and trested in garbage trucks and heavy delivery trucks. When ibsay heavy i mean 54k lbs. They abuse the crap out of them they haven't broken one yet. That's why they're putting them in the rams now.

False checkout the video. The half ton and suv trans were co developed, not the heavy duty transmissions.

What's a "ZF - Aisin" transmission? In any event, either is a better option than the "Allison" transmission you get with GM. You only get a real Allison when you buy a 4500/5500 chassis cab: Otherwise it's just licensed by Allison. Second point: All the 4500/5500 trucks from any manufacturer de-tune their HP/torque output for reliability purposes. The only benefit most regular users get from the 'high output' options is bragging rights. Quarter-mile times is not what these HD trucks are about.

Ram needs to fix Def issues with there diesel trucks I have had a lot of them and theres alot of problems had to go back to gas to many def countdown warnings

[@jimmyaber5920]

Ford, GM, and Ram will all regularly have dealer send a scan of engine control module or the mfr scan tool captures and transmits it automatically. If the configuration is not stock or overrrev has occurred they will kill engine/powertrain warranty.

[@adansoto3535]

Delete

[@sonsofliberty3081]

​@jimmyaber5920 you keep it on until warranty is over, then they make a pug for egr and take the Def off. You don't need a high hp tune, just a tune to delete the Def. Think about this. A 2003 3500 cummins would tow the same as a new 2500 with a hemi. I believe the tq was around 500 with 250hp. A 2019 and later 6.4l truck motor is completely forged. It shares parts with the demon including the sodium filled exhaust valves to dissipate heat. If you're working that motor you'll get 350-450k miles out of them. I saw a guy who has a fleet of 3500 6.4l pulling hotshots at 16-18k lbs every mile. That's what he's getting. Change the oil every 3 to 5k miles, depending on how much pulling and idle. Keep idle time to a min. I got a 22 mega cab for that reason. 3,200lbs of payload ish, and with the 4.10 rears 18k lbs of trailer. It doesn't struggle at all hauling horses or hay. I've had over 12k on the trailer.

​@@LetsDriveYTI need to tell everyone something of critcal importance! I care about you as a person, and ( just know that you are listening to a hypocrite telling you these things I'm about to tell you; I don't honor them always as I should ) I very much urge you to listen to this to the finish: The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins- I speak for all who are children of God through faith in Jesus the Christ and His gospel, which can be thought of as being the story of Jesus's life, His purposes for being sent, and what He accomplished to win our salvation: now receive the knowledge of this truth: that our nature is sinful and that we have transgressed God and owe Him a debt of justice to be repaid; ( being hell; just forget your human logic behind justice ); we all are sinners and by default are due for the judgement of our sin, but with God's remarkable free gift of justification and forgiveness, with the work of Christ's life, the death+punishment and resurrection from the dead, being the "means" you could say, for this salvation of ours (the believers) to be won for us: whoever will have their faith ( and, according to my interpretation that this is not just a hearing of the facts, and claiming to yourself or to others "I believe it" with your mouth, and doesn't cause you to live according to the life Christ set out for us; but this rather is a faith that cries out to God "have MERCY on me!" and depends on Him ( Jesus and His finished work ) as your only hope for forgiveness and being saved, that through Him, you'll be pardoned from the Judgement of your Sins by God, because of His finished work, in what He came into this life to do, and you be reborn, ( a change of heart about your life and reality with your new knowledge of the truth, the truth that sets you free ) and be saved! Now, being a believer is not wearing a cross chain or putting a cross bumper sticker on your car or reposting some Christian meme on your phone; in fact there's so many people who *think* they're Christian, but they're living a lie, and that's scary. Faith without works is dead, and although we are saved by faith alone, the faith that SAVES is NEVER alone; thats like claiming you trust someone to catch you, but you won't do the trust fall to let them catch you; now if you believe Jesus, live according to the life he set out for us. ( we won't be perfect at it though ). Upon believing, once God marks you as His Own with the presence of the Holy Spirit ( the Spirit and power of God) in your heart, which will dwell within you!, this will bring about a life, bearing fruits for God! And you will be reborn as a new creature! With a renewed heart, no longer being a slave to your own sin but now walking by the Spirit ( described by the Bible as being a Comforter, Teacher, and Convictor of your sin to your conscience ) and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self, and passions contrary to the things of God). Basically in simpler terms that with being born again, with the Holy Spirit entering you forever, the Holy Spirit will influence your conscience/heart, prompting you away from walking in the deadness of the ways of your sin ( albeit, we won't be perfectly successful at it in this life; the Bible says that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak; the Spirit and the flesh do battle against each other in the being of a person; we won't go on to be sinless, but surely we will sin - LESS, because Christ came not only to save us from the consequence of sin, but also from the power and influence of sin as we live out our lives ); repent your sins! Repent. Turn away from your sins ( again, I am hypocritical for saying this because I can always be better at honoring all these things I'm saying ), but dont take lightly the knowledge of the things of God and the chance you have to be saved in this life! Repent and believe in Christ and Christ's Gospel! Amen, i hope all who read this have a heart to hear; eternity is ETERNITY, and this life is NOT eternity; it's like a vapor in the wind; and again, the whole overall theme of everything I'm saying is GOOD NEWS- that's literally what "gospel" means, good news! We HAVE a savior! The Son of God Jesus Christ! What a glorious thing! And a strong hope for eternal life! There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus; they have passed from death ( and hell ) to life! My prayers and best wishes to you all who read this, Grace and Peace from the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father be with you!! ❤

[@sonsofliberty3081]
