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

[@JacobMoy-ij5om]

I hope they out a 7.2 in

[@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

[@irreccon]

That would be awesome. A Eaton 8 or 10 speed would be nice.

[@arjunkundu393]

@@irreccon great idea

[@louvelez3321]

I’d buy a manual in a heartbeat but sales showed people didn’t want it. They should consider it “anti carjack” Insurance

[@jesusgomez8419]

I had an 06 mega cab with a 6 speed slush box. It was awesome 👍🏾

[@cdalton3169]

6.7 Cummins. Exceptional. Best truck I’ve ever owned.

[@darryladams519]

Love my 2015 dually with the G56 no issues yet. Pulls everything I hook to it.

[@adriangomez182]

Just give us back the manuals dammit

[@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

[@claudiodelcastillo893]

440

[@darryladams519]

The Cummins is 408 cubic inches actually

[@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

[@100pyatt]

5.9 was the last of the good Cummins motors

[@inchaoswearereborn9586]

The 6.4L isn't going away any time soon. It still meets emissions

[@KarasCyborg]

I'll be interested maybe in 22027 once they work all the bugs out of this new powertrain. The real question is what are they trying to improve? Towing or Take-Off?

[@dang5553]

Miss my gasser

[@RK-nr8qf]

I don't own a diesel truck, but class-leading don't mean jack💩.

[@xxxxxxxxxx6903]

I really hope Cummins stroked, and not bored the 6.7L to make this new 7.2. The head gasket's firering deck purchase will suffer, IE increased likelihood of blown head gaskets?👀

[@joshuaearnheart2756]

Even more than currently. They already like to drop valves due to worn guides and crack water jackets from weak head material

[@robhaines3264]

Dodge has an I6 Chevy and Ford have V8s not in the same class at all. that's like a 4 cylinder against the 6 cylinder get real people that's why the Dodge is much better than any other class out there cuz it has a Cummins

[@gregjames5070]

I’m more interested in the gas Cummins that’s supposed to be coming out.

[@LetsDriveYT]

Would be also cool! These trucks need something better than 6.4 hemi

[@justinvandal9696]

@@LetsDriveYTthe 6.4 is tested. I think it’s fine.

[@sonsofliberty3081]

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.

[@jeraldhogan]

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

[@joshuaearnheart2756]

That 8 speed has been out a very long time. My buddies 2014 ram had it. 125k miles and the engine blew up because it’s a junk engine but that transmission was fine, probably

[@7.3PSDA2]

[@LetsDriveYT]

Hopefully not

[@Timberjack.loggers]

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

[@godsdozer]

Let the parts fall off, FIXED

[@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.

[@Timberjack.loggers]

@@sonsofliberty3081 thanks for that very good advice

[@claudiodelcastillo893]

A 440ci

[@sonsofliberty3081]

That's false, they've already said that the 2500 and 3500 will have the exact same setup. They are keeping the gas but cummins has a 6.7l in testing right now that's gas. It has 660tq. They want itbto be the same as the diesel so they have less parts to buy. Everything will be the same except pistons, head, amd injectors. Keep costs lower

[@LetsDriveYT]

And we found this info...

[@hildablanco1591]

A V10 magnum engine is needed or a 1989 Cummins 5.9 is better

[@rontopping7811]

Thats because only reason to buy a ram is for Cummins engine.

[@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel]

The whole truck is amazing. Don't let your jealousy shorten your life too much. The Bible can fix any problems you have.

[@leom925]

Why are they getting rid of the hemi. It is the bread and butter Why copy Ford they have junk to

[@aaronpalmer634]

Unfortunately its out of their control. With all the new Emission Regulations coming out.

[@leecrumble3921]

The hemi is weak outdated. The torque spread on the inline 6 hurricane is far more powerful.

[@100pyatt]

HEMIs are a disaster that fail constantly from poor valvetrain design and parts

[@justinvalenta752]

I’m not sure you know what the “power take off feature”….. It has nothing to do with the torque being monstrous….

My point is the customers need and want more in whatever form it takes. Stellantis behave like the EPA is the customer. If we dont find a way to stop it there will be no Ram or Cummins powered trucks.

[@RoccoReviews]

The transmission is from Aisin. It's an excellent towing transmission. It's not good unloaded, but great for towing. They also don't have anywhere near as many issues as Fords and GM.

The sad thing is that it's set that way for license and insurance. I know in my 22 2500 6.7L, I have well exceeded the payload, and it didn't do much more than squat a bit. Hauled the pallet of concrete like it wasn't even back there.

The magic number for licensing, insurance and registration is 10,000 pounds... I even remember a time when a half-ton could carry 1000 pounds, a 3/4-ton carried 1500 pounds, and a 1-ton carried 2000 pounds! Now, A properly equipped Ford Ranger can hold 1,800 pounds!!

@willf2896 100% agree. Where I live, there is minimal traffic anywhere. We might see 2 cars in 50 miles most days. Would I overload in, say, a big city, hell naw! In all honesty, I love my 2500, but for the heavy heavy hauling, I break out my 5500.
