FYI: You could have just unhooked the battery. It would reset the computer. Then you could have rolled the windows up and turned on the heat. It would probably malfuntion again when you start driving but at least you get the windows up. Just a little tip for anybody else in that situation. 🙂

Good item to call out. I did try that and it didn’t do anything. When I got home even left off unhooked overnight and nothing the next day.

No kidding....the Tundra contrary to what a lot of people think, is quite weak in the payload department no matter which model you have, without airbags in the back they have a terrible amount of squat for what Toyota pretends to be a 1/2 ton truck...that's one huge negative I quickly found with my 08 Tundra was the soft springs in what was supposed to be a "work truck" model. Also, wasn't impressed with the multiple rear axle bearing failures, and the multiple front differential howl/growl issues it had which both issues were known to Toyota and were actually TSB's but luckily got fixed on mine under warranty multiple times, at 104k I got rid of the truck as the extended warranty was up and knowing how often those issues would resurface themselves I didn't want to deal with it out of pocket. Didn't care for the IFS either, it was horrible on roads I frequently had to travel.

Nothing close to new, but I liked my 99 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 regular cab. It would go anywhere. It had the 318 V8, and 5 speed manual transmission....unfortunately a local dealership screwed up a clutch replacement and made a mess of things, luckily I got their idiot mechanic's "diagnosis" in writing so when stuff went south they go their mess of a truck back. I should have kept it but at the time, I was just done with that dealership's poor customer service and the lack of support. It was a pretty comfortable riding truck too...pretty decent fuel economy mid to high 20's on the highway, but it was a terrible tow vehicle due to the 3.55 gearing...they really should have 3.73's at a minimum for a truck equipped with the factory tow package....which if I would have kept the truck it would have gotten 3.73's or 4.10's, and a limited slip.

Congratulations, looks like a beautiful truck. My son in law has the same truck. Just a heads up with modern Diesel engines, do not idle your engine all the time or you will be spending large amounts of cash to have the DPF (diesel particulate filter) cleaned out or replaced. These new engines are meant to start and go, no long warm ups needed. Anyway, enjoy your new ride.

THIS STATEMENT IS ONLY ‘HALF’’ RIGHT YOU DO NOT NEED TO WARM UP THIS NEW DIESEL TYPE ENGINE WHEN TEMP IS ‘’ ABOVE ‘’ 40 F . WHEN IT IS 39 F YOU SHOULD ALLOW 4-5 MIN WARM UP. BELOW 32 F YOU SHOULD ALLOW 8-10 MIN. WARM UP. BELOW 7 F YOU SHOULD ALLOW 13- 15 MIN WARM UP. BELOW -7 F YOU SHOULD ALLOW 20-25 MIN WARM UP THIS IS EXTREM COLD -30 C . REMEMBER TO ALWAYS FILL TYPE 2 OR GRADE 2 DIESEL OR SOME PLACES CALL IT DIESEL GOLD. SOME NO NAME SERVICE STATIONS HAVE LOW GRADE DIESEL . STAY AWAY FROM THESE PLACES. USE ONE OF THE 6 BIG NAME STATIONS , OR TRUCK STOPS. DIESEL IS USUALLY 45-55 CENTS ‘’MORE’’ THAN REG GAS PRICE . WHEN YOU DO YOUR NEXT OIL CHANGE PUT IN AMS-OIL ‘’SIGNATURE’’SERIES MAX -DUTY SYNTHETIC DIESEL OIL 5W-40 AND ADD 1 LITRE OF LUCUS ‘’SYNTHETIC ‘’ OIL STABILIZER FOR EVERY ‘’6 LITRES’’ OF AMSOIL. THESE ARE THE BEST 2 COMBINATIONS OF OIL PRODUCTS FOR THE RAM CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL ENGINES. TRY AND USE A BOSCHE OR AMSOIL OIL FILTER AS WELL. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE OIL CHANGE BUT SO IS YOUR CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE . A NEW CUMMINS WILL COST $ 9,000 PLUS LABOUR AND TAX . SO SPENDING $140-155 ON AN OIL CHANGE IS WELL WORTH CARING FOR THIS ENGINE. OIL IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF ANY ENGINE, NEVER GO CHEAP ON THIS MAINTENANCE.

@@TailsofWanderlust he’s right. I work on heavy duty rigs for a living. They don’t produce enough heat to burn the ash the engine produces so the DPF catch’s it so you’ll be doing more regens which will decrease the max life of the DPF. You can always delete the DPF but that comes with its own set of issues you may not be willing to deal with.

From the harsh ride of an empty 3500 to engine size for hauling, you did all the research and due diligence needed. Great choice and you don't need any advice from the peanut gallery.

As an owner of multiple RAM trucks, I can assure you that the 2019 forwards Gen 5’s come with several “standard” features that you will read about frequently. Water leaks, water leaks and more water leaks. My current truck had a sunroof leak (replaced) and cab marker lights (replaced after 3 attempts to fix the issue) and a loose shifter. The shifter could have been tightened in 5 minutes with a 10 mm socket, but the dealer advised that the only way Chrysler would cover the labour was if the entire assembly was replaced. Dear God, yet another week for the parts to ship! Also be aware of a common….very common leak from the centre brake light. These trucks are assembled by minimally paid foreign workers in a foreign assembly plant. Remember, when one door closes, another door opens. Other than that it was a pretty good RAM truck.

Just had the CP3 done last week and it is a little smoother on acceleration. I ran Hot Shot with the CP4 and never had a problem and have 59K miles on it.

Wow. Great looking truck - especially the interior. I'm going through the truck debate myself after 5 years in a Sprinter and wanting a truck/custom slide in. I actually fell in love with the truck idea (to replace my Sprinter that I've never had 100% faith in) because of wanting a Tundra to get into quality I truly trusted.... and then I discovered the Payload issue. I had never appreciated all the pros/cons/differences between the truck models and brands. Funny. the mission started because I was yearning for a Toyota and here I am researching Ford's because of the F150s payload. Best of luck with the rest of your project.

I understand the Tundra is in the past now but replacing the one sensor should have only been a few hundred bucks. Then the Christmas tree light you needed to disconnect the battery to reset the system. The popping up front when turning is 99% a blown or about to blow CV axles which is few hundred bucks with labor. Sorry you had a bad experience with the Tundra as any vehicle going offraod will be rattled down and will have issues. You definitely got my next truck of going with a Ram 2500.

great truck choice - I have a similar (2019 limited megacab). for fuel - you can go around at the truck stops to where the large rigs go - this will also let you fill the DEF; they also have the larger diesel fuel nozzles in back I agree with another comment below - aftermarket 52 gallon tank is an absolute joy; will run you $1500-$2000 to get one and installed. So worth it. I run an Arctic Fox 865 on the back of mine; it's about a 3000lb camper. If you decide to go that large, I recommend you strongly consider adding a helwig bigwig sway bar. with your current camper you have, you won't need it - but a larger camper will feel a bit top-heavy, and the sway bar will pretty much remove that. great choice - it will get you anywhere you want to go.

What a cascade of disasters, but a good example of why to keep an emergency bag with warm jacket in your vehicle. Good to hear you are keeping up with studies notwithstanding the trouble. People want to see Jasper and Napoleon.

What a nightmare! Please keep in mind that in the South many of the used cars/trucks used could have water/hurricane damage. So make sure you research the history of the car/truck (important nation wide to do this also as they truck cars/trucks to different states to sell the damage cars/truck.s

I have the 2022 RAM 2500 Laramie 4x4 Hemi with air suspension and 3.73 axle. I recommend that you rotate the outside mirrors to vertical. This provides much better blind-spot observation. Yes, they look like Mickey Mouse ears but the visibility is worth it. Cruise control is essential - I have 20" tires and the truck wants to fly once it reaches 70 mph. Avoid conversations with law enforcement.

So missed your videos. That being said, I'm so happy that you finally found a truck in this insane vehicle market. But, I'm upset at all the BS you had to endure in order to get your new adventure rig. That Diesel engine will definitely haul your camper around and then some compared to the Tundra. Again, congrats and can't wait for future updates on your adventures.

Wow that's a nice truck! Ive had my 18 Ram 2500 from new, bought it as a leftover for under 50 grand. You should have good luck with it, I've only had two small issues, thermostat with was covered under warranty and I swear the factory tires felt like they were square but a fresh set of duratracs solved that. I agree the payload on the 2500 is pretty low but coming from a Tacoma it's a big improvement, I mostly bought it so I can tow pretty much anything I want and my bigass dog has plenty of room after I removed the rear seat and built a platform
