Love the channel, reminds me of myself when I was younger, unfortunately age keeps on going, I will be 81 soon. I used to clear out old orchards for a good friend of mine. I always enjoyed working a chainsaw and even had a screw type wood splitter that went on the back wheel, kind of dangerous but it worked. My dad would always want to come and help me, and we did this until his health deteriorated. Now I can’t do too much but I really enjoy your videos. Take care when you are working!!

[@ChannelZeroOne]

The dual wheels and the ring and pinion gear ratio differences help a lot more than you think. If both trucks were duallys and the rear end was geared the same then the test would be more interesting. Find someone with a dually 5.9 with the same rear end and try again. The ring and pinion difference can change how a truck performs night and day. The truck weight difference has less impact than you think. The best upgrade I ever did to my truck was change the ring and pinion ratio.

[@danw6014]

The odds are you would still be ordering a new truck with the 5.9 if the emissions weren't there. The increase in displacement was because Dodge and Cummins knew the emissions would cripple the 5.9. I have both engines. A 05, 6 speed manual and a 09 automatic and a higher gear. The 09 had a 40hp chip and emissions delete. Before the delete I would say both trucks pulled pretty close. The delete woke the 09 right up and doubled the fuel mileage. My opinion, with the delete the 6.7 is a better engine. Without the delete I would rather stay with the pre-emission 5.9.

[@chrischapman276]

A bit disappointed in my 5.9 I recently acquired. Got a great deal on an immaculate 06 with 128K miles. The truck was like it was off the show room. Took her on a 2500 mile road trip with the 11K travel trailer purchasing the super tuner and K&N intake. Did much better on the inclines without beating the hell out of her. Came home, on the freeway empty at around 80mph and seized the engine. Will not budge. Still have to get the pan off to take a good look at the journals but she is done. All this after replacing the Duramax. Too bad......

[@jwxfd]

I found this channel because I’m looking for a tow rig for my horse trailer. After observing the newer diesels and their very high maintenance costs (DEF, EGR) I’m leaning towards a 5.9 and build it. Plus the newer trucks are very expensive. So, I’m heavily leaning towards a 5.9 with a manual 6-speed.

[@VBELTandSON]

jwxfd Honestly that’s a good choice. Can’t go wrong with a 5.9. I love them. I would recommend a G 56 manual trans. Better shift pattern and it shifts a lot smoother. 05-07 truck is the best bet for one. Mod should do on one of those is the lift pump get one with some filters and protect that engine. I run FASS on all mine. And new trucks do cost way to much but I’m hoping warranty take care of any issues 😬 good luck on your truck search. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks

[@jwxfd]

I figure I can buy/build it for 1/3 of the cost of a new one....only things Id wouldnt be getting is a factory warranty and the modern amenities. Which to some is worth the ~$70k. Me? Not so much. As far as the trans is concerned, Im mostly selecting the 6-speed manual due to ratio stacks and reliability, considering the fact the 4-speed auto from that era is less than optimal for towing and far from reliable. If I can get my hands on a more modern auto, Id go that route, but would be quite pricey in the acquisition and build

[@carlclark1657]

I appreciate the video comparison. Cummins is great. I like that they don’t have all of the hidden electronics that tend to fail out of the competitor vehicles. Keep one thing in mind with comparisons, a 5500 will have a lot lower gear ratio than a 3500. The axle gearing will make a very significant difference in a comparison like this one. Not to say the 5.9 and 6.7 are comparable when speaking cubic inches. The delete is the win for what initially held the 6.7 back. They were choked down.

[@kentuckydirby8306]

You need a cowboy hat brotha;) haha I can't wait to get a 3rd gen cummins. Specially for my welding equipment, I been wanting an 07 to 08 for the longest time lmao great video ! Be safe out there!

[@captaint8878]

What a cool video and channel mate! I don't even own a truck but find myself watching the full vids at 2am! Nice comparison.

[@VBELTandSON]

Chris Thorburn thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ericl5973]

6.7 is better except for all that emissions equipment. I have a 5.9 since it is easier to keep it emissions legal. Do the 2 trucks have the same rear end gears?

[@VBELTandSON]

Eric L they are about 10% off but one weighs more so thought be even. But yea I agree. 6.7 needs deleted to have a chance ha

[@michaelenos2035]

Great video! Love the wrenchworkz swag and Greg A! Can’t wait for more great videos!

[@jimt125]

Great video,straight videos from hard working man.I have 06 2500 5.9 Cummins banks cold air ,banks cat back and hyper tec tuner and it runs great . I pull 13,000 lb 5th wheel camper all over and ulilitytrailor too. I was impressed with 5.9 s6.7 comparisons and both deleted and stock.love the channel and I'd be proud to wear your company logo jacket.

[@VBELTandSON]

Jim T thank you! Means a lot! I will most likely be given out more than one jacket. If you don’t win I should be able to make a great deal on them and would like to sell them if all goes well. Also thank you for the positive comment! Really appreciate it!!

[@tonynickels6452]

I would rock that jacket!!!! Badass trucks my dude. I have to 5.9 myself and love it:) keep up the great work bro

[@VBELTandSON]

thank you!! working on selling them soon!

[@stang0066]

The wrench works hoodie was the first thing that cought my attention. Great video!

[@philipcollins5440]

I really enjoy your teaching 😄 and the different equipment you have. Does Grandma ever get her truck... Ha ha

[@VBELTandSON]

It’s my truck now

[@kylebrown521]

Great video man, love the comparisons. Great channel keep up the good work!

[@powerstrokelou2918]

Both engines are great. The 6.7 is a beast but the 5.9 is very reliable. Great looking trucks. Well taken care of. This is a huge compliment coming from a powerstroke owner (7.3). Thx for the video. 🇺🇸

[@babybullsmith001]

Excellent,I have a 2006 5.9.I am disabled vet and I put my 5.9 cruise control on ad roll on down the road

[@VBELTandSON]

James Smith thank you and thank you for your service!

[@philipshea4601]

5.9 is just the heart of a Cummins. I have a 2007 5.9 C, love it

[@life_with_ryan]

Awesome video! I like the comparison you did. Ill definitely be tuning in for more videos in the future. Also love the wrench workz gear too!

[@VBELTandSON]

Ryan Steffes thank you!!!

[@life_with_ryan]

@@VBELTandSON no problem! Can't wait to see what comes in the future! Glad I came across your videos!

[@popmccoy3454]

Sam, never a dull video since day one. Ten “star’s “ for such a terrific effort. I look forward with great anticipation for your next video, and the next, and the next ........ Mate, your Dad’s great, betcha can’t get him to talk a little more? Continued wealth and good health to all. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄

[@VBELTandSON]

Ron McCoy thank you!!

[@bobpratt672]

Great video - thank you for posting this. Given the mods to your truck (Smarty, MBRP etc.) I expect you usually tow with a higher HP program. I was wondering what program is usually in your 5.9 for towing and how that would perform pulling this load. Thank you. Bob.

[@jclaydon3454]

Nice comparison... Nice to see you're almost at 3k subs. Keep up the good work!

[@VBELTandSON]

thank you! im so happy the channel got some traction!

[@slipknot7424]

I have a 2006 Dodge Mega Cab 4x4 with the 5.9 Cummins and my dream is to have an Allison transmission, those two combined would be bulletproof. Towing my 9000 pound RV on flat straightaway my truck will be at 700 RPMs at 70 MPH yes 700 RPMs 70 MPH and going up steep inclines it’s 2000 RPMs at 55 MPH. Saving money right now for the Banks system so I can travel anywhere I want without an increase in temp. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@jodygordon5581]

Some good info brother. Thanks. I just bought my first diesel (a 2018 Dodge 2500 6.7 Laramie Sport) and will never go back to gas. It is one fine truck man.

[@VBELTandSON]

congrats man!!!!

[@TermiteBenny]

The older trucks always feel quicker because the new emissions trucks have to add air and fuel at a different rate to meet the emissions, but once they are side by side the new ones just straight out pull the older trucks. I love my 6.7 it definitely pulls stronger then my 24V 5.9 plus the temps always run much cooler

[@bamahammer949]

I'm a fan of Cummins I have a 6.0 powerstroke wich doesn't obviously have all that DPF crap. Did you snatch the DPF off your 6.7 and if you haven't has it clogged up on You? Keep the vids coming im planning to get a earlier 24v later on this year.

[@gregorylondos534]

Hello, Good you were able to be able to Compare your two Trucks.. I am hearing alot of Good things about the 6.7... I happen to wear an XL... Happy Holidays, Greg

[@VBELTandSON]

both the winners were xl as well hah will have all sizes for sale later on if interested

[@nicholasball9157]

I have a 2008 3500 6.7 flatbed dually with everything deleted including crankcase filter and grid heater. Straight pipe 5" all the way, South bend dual disk, h&s tuner, banks cold air intake, after market all aluminum radiator, 180° thermostat instead of the factory 190°. The most I have pulled with mine, so far, is a 18'000 lb track hoe sittin on a 10 ton rated tag along, no gooseneck. She would run 80 mph up interstate 85 with plenty left. Oh and it has 344,000 miles on it with the factory turbo, factory cp3 pump and factory injectors, with no fass system yet. I won't have another truck, done blown 2 Fords. Nice video.

[@VBELTandSON]

Nicholas Ball hell ya that’s a solid truck! Should get the FASS asap that will complete it. That great to hear the miles yours has and still holding it down. My 08 have 55k. It’s a baby I got a mishimoto 180 thermostat and the all aluminum radiator as well. Almost s must if towing often

[@ryangoyne3589]

Glad I found your channel! I own a 17 6.7, and absolutely love it. Keep up the good work bro!

[@landenanderson4822]

Great video! Really opened my eyes on the 6.7! i have a 97 12v myself

[@VBELTandSON]

Landen Anderson love 12 valves miss my 96! Actually drove off the lot in a 97 when I was little and my grandma bought hers!

[@chrism2042]

I first diesel was a new 99 Dodge 5.9, 2500, 4x4, auto trans. Towed horse trailer thousands of miles along with 24' flatbed and 9000 lb tractor. Still running like a champ with 251k miles when I traded in 2005 for a 2005 Dodge 3500 dually, Vin C HO 5.9, 4:10, 4x4, auto trans. Upgraded to much larger living quarters horse trailer and pulled thousands of miles through the mtns., just traded it at 207k miles and running like a champ. This Spring I traded the 05 for a 2018 Ram 3500 dually limited, 4x4 with HO 6.7 and Aisin trans. I loved the 05 HO 5.9 for towing but it is no comparison to the 6.7 with Aisin trans set-up. The HO 6.7 with Aisin trans in a freaking beast. All three of these trucks stock, no mods or upgrades other than changing air filter to K&N in factory air intake. I was hesitant on going with the 6.7 because both 5.9's I had done so well but the 6.7 is a dream to drive and tow with, no regrets on that decision.

[@VBELTandSON]

Chris M same here only had 5.9s for ever. First one was a 96 2500. Auto I swapped to a manual. Loved it. But sure glad I stepped up to a 6.7. Not sure if I wanna go back to a 5.9. But congrats on your 2018. These new rigs are something else. So quiet and easy to drive even when towing a heavy load you fell confident in the truck no question. Love the new trucks!

[@rgdegregori8744]

Enjoyed you’re video. Had a 93 5.9 with the getrag trans. for 20 years loved it. It’s still going strong with my sons buddy. New paint, springs and further engine mods. Took it all around the western US and many off road Baja trips. Bought a used 12, 6.7 with a 68rfe trans. Pretty cushy compared to the 93. Tons of power in stock mode but the fuel mileage can’t compare. Need more fuel capacity before Baja. Loaned my 12 to my son when I was out of town. His Ford gasser was T boned by a DUI and totaled. When I got home we flew to Salt Lake where he bought a 13, 2500 6.7. He just went to Mammoth for a fishing tournament and dusted an Audi on the Sherwin Grade. Of course he had to call and tell me.

[@VBELTandSON]

R G DEGREGORI hahah I love it! Those new trucks are great! Like a big gocart! I had a guy tail gating me the other day when I was coming home from the track towing my enclosed trailer. Guy passed me on double yellow and next passing lane up a steep grade that new truck while towing a trailer ate up the empty Chevy gasser. Love having all that power even when towing a trailer ha. Thanks for sharing your story!!🤟🏻

[@Unknown-kq8ro]

Just dropping a comment. Been lurking on your channel for awhile. Sub'd today. Not going to lie or pretend I've been a long time subscriber. I enjoy your channel. Hell I may just buy a jacket off of you. They look awesome! Anyway, thanks for the effort.

[@VBELTandSON]

haha thank you!! hoping to sell jackets soon!

[@collinkontio279]

Love the channel and your trucks nothing like a white truck with black wheels. Saving to buy my very own 6.7 6 speed. Like your wrench work hoodie too. Keep the great content coming man!

[@wb5mgr]

I had little doubt the 6.7 would win this test. No substitute for displacement. That said, I truthfully believe that the 5.9 is a more simple and durable platform. Let me know when both trucks reach a million miles what the upkeep costs were on both....including DEF on the 6.7.

[@VBELTandSON]

wb5mgr be along time. Have 327 on 5.9 now and only 56 on 6.7

[@cmarkfrey5551]

I’ve been waiting for this type of video...thank you, Christopher

[@VBELTandSON]

Cmark Frey no problem glad you liked it!

[@mattbraman2446]

this is awesome brotha, your right on with the emissions and the problems that arise. it scares people away even though without all that stuff its still the same old oil burner 🙃

[@Snijders120]

Wicked videos, Love the trucks. I have an old second gen 12 valve in the garage that I'm looking to throw a six speed into. Your videos have been super helpful thanks!

[@josephcrain1010]

Nice video man! Very helpful and informative

[@samjones7433]

Sam you’re the man, keep up the good videos. Thank you for all the info

[@VBELTandSON]

Sam Jones thanks a lot! Appreciate the support! Happy you liked the video

[@samjones7433]

I’ve got a 2017 6.7 Cummins now with the 68RFE trans and I used to have a work truck that was a 2006 5.9 with the 68RFE in it. The only thing I liked better about the 5.9 was no emissions equipment

[@Lawnfreak]

Hey man I'm really lovin you channel been watching for about a month now and love your trucks. Especially the new 3500. But I'll still show the ole 5500 some love it really really nice.

[@VBELTandSON]

Lawn freak thank you I really appreciate that! I love my 5500. Got some more stuff for it to help it out. Be adding goodies to it soon!

[@spoore39]

Thank you for the informational video. The Cummins is the tru work horse on the road. Looking forward to more posts about the 6.7, keep up the good work. 👍👍

[@slantedperspective]

Reading the comments is sad , it's not ever going to be a 1/1 perfect fair test but all the little things are still not gonna effect the results that much fantastic video!! :)

[@WRATHUSA]

Nice overall comparison. I didn't catch the year of the 5.9? I'm also curious to know the difference in fuel consumption and overall price of each vehicle? How many miles were on each vehicle respectively? What are the gear ratios used as they apply to the perimeters of your comparison? Also could you share a little info on the braking equipment to make a load like that come to a safe stop? Getting 20K lbs. rolling is one thing , stopping it is another. I sure miss my 2002 5.9 4x4. It was stolen 6 mos. ago in San Diego, Ca. Several witnesses say that a drop bed tow truck took it. I can't prove that yet, but it makes sense. Even though it's insured, the insurance companies are as crooked as the thieves. It was even spotted on Craigslist but the police would do nothing for me. I'm holding out on the insurance in hope it is recovered. I put alot of heart and care into that truck. Beware tow truck companies, they are rampant with thieves. Thanks, Will Rath

[@VBELTandSON]

WRath I have a bunch of videos about exhaust brakes and engines brakes. That is main concern when towing this is my only real power video. And fuel mileage is in separate videos. I cover many questions answer

[@adrianrios998]

Great video man fingers crossed for that jacket if it’s not to late 😂. Deleted my 6.7 about 6 mths ago and it’s like a whole different truck love it

[@themxdirtrider10]

Congratulations on 1k, thanks for the videos

[@VBELTandSON]

thank you!!!

[@Youtuber-uz5hc]

There are so many aftermarket parts out there that you can build up just about any diesel truck to level you want it to be. And for a lot less than buying a new truck. But I have to admit the newer trucks have some amazing interiors.

[@VBELTandSON]

KZbinr 1 yea that’s very true. That 5500 Now has about as much into it that I could of bought another brand new 3500 laramie. Haha al worth it tho. Thanks for watching my video!
