After all the hard work you put into the Fummins, and since it's paid for, I'd keep it & upgrade it. Thoroughly enjoyed the Fummins build series by the way.

[@miketech2]

Yessss!! The return of the Fummins

[@SCOOPFREE]

About frickin time. 😂

[@MiGujack3]

and hope it sticks forever

[@mr_mongo7228]

After the BS from that stealership over the warranty I’d let them keep it. There doesn’t really seem wrong with your old truck besides a little love and a lot more confidence.

[@macbook802]

Yes what a cool name. Or Fumminater Xteen

[@macbook802]

He should put duct tape around every door handle so it atleast looks good

[@GaryM-1985]

maybe a shock upgrade and different wheel tire combo it will ride better. the wheels look good but most of the time less rubber means less ride comfort. loud exhaust and big tires are cool until you do a 20hr road trip

[@ayitsyaboi]

Agreed. I don't like them, personally, but that isn't the point. The point is they're a huge, huge part of the ride feel.

[@Sf_Mason]

Bilstein dampers and a higher profile tyre will make the truck much more liveable on a long drive. Add in some air springs, and fix the brakes with the transmission tune up will make it a much more pleasent drive. Good thing with the cummins is that parts are readily avaliable and there's plenty of aftermarket support to eliminate the issues and add more refinement to it with a new turbo and exhaust system that's not quite so loud.

[@TheTradosaurus]

Neighbors probably don’t like his loud vehicles

[@mikelawrenz206]

Truth.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

@@TheTradosaurus Just be mindful and neighbors won't have an issue.

[@devoncanfield2058]

Gotta love the old CP3 harmonic knock on the common rail cummins. Also, rough ride is definitely because of the wheel tire combo, not enough sidewall to dampen the road out.

[@theangrymarmot8336]

Part of the rough ride probably has a lot to do with the wheel/tire combo!

[@mattmanyam]

Came to say the same.

[@ShredGarage]

Yeah, rubber band tires don’t have a lot of cushion to them. They look cool tho

[@rolfr558]

Was thinking that too, find some lightweight wheels with good tires, balance them, perhaps put airbags on the truck, should improve the ride significantly!

[@fubar1217]

Thinking the exact same thing!

[@jacobyjackson3530]

I concur…dropped my Semi Wheels and put 17” wheels back on…very much of a big difference!!

[@MrPosephxg]

It would ride alot better without the semi wheels, they look super good though

[@memoriesgarage]

This. It would also feel like a lot more power/acceleration with the factory 17s his new truck has vs the 24s and the heavy adapters they require.

[@matthewlittle6940]

i like the semi look......air ride would be sick......i see what you guys mean though. function over form

[@sand450rstar]

I agree 100% love the look but you sacrifice ride quality.

[@jonesingaround3260]

I'm honestly so excited for the fummins to be back. I'm sure getting a newer dodge will be more comfortable, and maybe a little better at towing. But seeing this beast, which you built and is unique to you makes me happy

[@faffabout9412]

Stop using 24” tall wheels and low profile tires and you wouldn’t mind the ride.

[@Ken-xv4sb]

Yep.. He knew the answer whether to fix the Fummins or keep the Ford as soon as he said it. You could hear it in his voice. I do agree w/ the others about losing the 24's and you'll see a world of difference in the ride.

[@brooksbullock8806]

More comfortable and better towing... Yeah right.

[@dezford5408]

Keep the Fummins! You know it inside and out because you built it. New is nice until it breaks down. Dyno mat the interior, air bag it , tune the trans and love it!

This truck was one reason i started watching this channel. Loved it.

[@silliesttgoose]

Me personally, I think keeping the fummins would be super cool. Giving it the love it needs I think would help with a lot of the things that are positives of the newer Cummins! It's super unique and like you said you can fix it if need be. Maybe switching to a different transmission and going full standalone would help? Idk the answer but my vote is fummins!

[@JaredR1996]

After the whole incident that happened with the previous truck, I’m so excited to see the Fummins back in action

[@MitchPleune]

Keep the fummins. It'll be something you can be proud of making unique, and spend your time on the things in the trailer 😊

[@matthewf1979]

I really do like the drift car builds, but I LOVE the Fummins! It’s my favorite series you’ve done. You got so much accomplished in that tiny shop. I can’t wait to see what you can do with it now! Hope you can get out of the ‘20 Ford and come out on top.

[@SUBREA]

I agree with everyone on the wheels. They look amazing, but to make the truck feel way more comfortable and useable, put some factory 17” wheels on it with factory size tires and it’ll tow and drive significantly better. Also, a large muffler and resonator for the exhaust would make it significantly more comfortable in the cab.

[@chrishua6444]

My goodness. I have commented on this build before. Happy to see it again. That truck is my dream truck. You did an amazing job building this truck. Love the channel.

[@ronsafranic5177]

I think you overlooked another option. You can make the Fummins much quieter by stripping out the interior (and possibly the dash) and installing some kind of sound deadening (Maybe more than one kind). You like to tinker and it would make a good video!

[@MrMaxEffort]

That was my tought also, it's make a huge diffrent to the ride.. And probably a little quieter exhaust system..🙂

[@LateKnight666]

Agree with most, super excited to see the fummins back! The ride would dramatically increase with smaller wheels and better, less aggressive tires, but its hard to beat the semi wheels :(

[@jonimestas9692]

I love the Cummins. You are the expert here. I appreciate your narration. Very interesting best!

[@bjcoffey5136]

The fummins is why I started watching your channel, happy to see it back!

[@retrogamer681]

I would keep the Fummins but put more stock-ish wheels/ tires and quieter exhaust since it’s a long haul rig.

[@dwaynepowley]

Overhaul the fummings I love it, it looks so good, and even better you can work on it yourself no headaches I enjoyed the build when you done it

[@SUPERTRUCKER166]

Another option is to also sound deaden the interior, it’s a fairly inexpensive mod but makes a huge difference to noise and heat within the cab

[@Taylordrifts]

I did think about that. I feel like that’s a lot of the difference to the newer trucks.

[@macattack1392]

​@Taylor Ray he's right, Will definitely help. Just like the piping, u seen results instantly. Sound deadening will help ALOT! Maybe a sponsor will help out. Covering the Transmission tunnel, pillars, inside doors, etc. I've noticed a difference on my car when I did the underbody rubberized spray & cavity wax inside its sub-frames being full frame, spraying it would help- Plus it's protectant. I see a bunch of content coming on the fummins! Cant wait.

[@BradyRaider2011]

Definitely the Fummins. Its paid off, you know it inside and out and the gripes that you have with it are easily fixed. Regarding the shifting issue; I would personally go the HP Tuners route and see if it improves. Based on that, we can then have another conversation of how to move forward.

[@dansteelersman8043]

Please, keep the Fummins. It is your work of art and you made it big with that truck.

[@bigfur2]

You want better ride, change the wheel/tire combo. Those tires are made for a much higher weight rating so they’re not going to “give” as much which will make for a rougher ride. But a light duty truck tire/wheel combo on it and a good set of shocks and that will help a ton!

[@codybigbee2957]

He currently has light truck tires on it he had the wheels milled, there just isn’t enough sidewall

[@growlith6969]

What that truck came with really is ideal. I see a lot of hotshot guys switch to 19.5's like I run on my 550 and they are very good for mileage and durability but hard as stone. Those 22.5's he has are just such a bad idea.

[@carsonwashburn1]

Man it would be really sad to see the Fummins go but you know we’ll be on board for whatever decision you make!

[@TheTruthBeToId]

Man I haven't watch a video of yours since the last video of this truck, till now. Glad the ole beast is still around.

[@shawnm696]

What I haven’t seen mentioned yet is if you have a more common street truck tire, if you have an issue on the road you have a better chance of finding a replacement at a tire shop instead of those low profile ones. Not to mention the acceleration and brake performance you would gain by getting rid of those heavy rims and adapters that is just extra rotating mass.

[@matt.p8060]

Yeah was looking at them and was thinking a similar thought they do look good but probably not great for road trips...

[@Taylordrifts]

It is a street truck tire. They’re not semi wheel size. The 24”. I also have a full size spare.

[@shawnm696]

@@Taylordrifts smart to have a full size spare on hand. That’s about the only way to go since the 24” is going to be very rare for a tire shop to have on hand. The handful of shops I worked at never had anything close to that tire ever. Too bad you didn’t make it to Texas. I just moved 20 mins north of the track. Oddly enough the Fummins build is why I found and subscribed to your channel. You’ll have to make it out here for another event.

[@goose_3355]

Definitely keep the fummins. The truck itself has so much character compared to the new one. I mean it’s got a Cummins stuffed in an F350! Plus it would be cool to see content on this truck to see some upgrades and reliability upgrades :)

[@simonmatthews2149]

Glad you are bring the Fummins back

[@axlmcintosh6148]

Going thru the fummins top to bottom and making her 100% would be awesome to see. Get everything sorted and maybe somewhere down the road get a manual 4th gen dually.

[@CoBrAOnYT]

You should keep the fummins and 6 speeds swap it. You would have a damn good set up and most of all a really reliable set up

[@capitalHlake]

love that this truck is coming back into duty possibly. i say don’t spend money on a new vehicle, rock the fummins and wrap the trailer black to match. it’s such a great build.

[@adamdevaux8486]

Keep and upgrade the fummins. Power, comfort and quality of life features. After upgrading the trailer to tailor to the features of the new truck, it would be a shame for that hard work to go to waste. Figure out a way to incorporate those features into the fummins, if possible. Also, the trailer with a black wrap would be baller!

[@metatechhd]

While the semi wheels add a unique and eye-catching touch to the Fummins, I can understand why some might think it would ride better without them. It's always interesting to see different opinions on vehicle modifications and their impact on performance. I'm curious to see how the Fummins performs after its restoration. Keep up the great work! 👍🔧🚚

[@doantranvan1844]

ok

[@Zrelli_]

Those 5.9 make great towing power with super low EGTs with a compound turbo setup. Worth looking into it if the Fummins is going to stick around.

[@borninthefla]

I like the idea of building up the fummins! You’ll always have the option to buy a Cummins truck. Also, you’d have a lot of content on the upgrades for the fummins. The customization for the fummins is unlimited.

[@benvanpay4623]

I like the Fummins but I do think a cummins truck would be a good move. Get something slightly newer with the engine you want and upgrade from there with some money you recoup from selling the Fummins. Regardless what you decide we will be here to watch along the way! Keep up the great content.

[@brandonduke1903]

Love the Fummins!! Please keep it and upgrade it!!! I built my 7.3 dually at the same time you built the Fummins so I love watching you work on it which makes me want to work/upgrade my dually.

[@dugangant]

Keep the fummins. It doesn't matter what truck you get there will always be something you don't like or something that could be improved. You have already put so much work into the fummins and it's almost there. Just fix the few things that need to be fixed and you will have a damn good tow rig!

[@dougdigiacomo3613]

Keep the fummins and make it better! Fummins is soooo sick!!

[@sidneyjohnson52]

I think you should keep the fummins and address the issues you have. I would think the novelty of driving a stick would wear off pretty quick. Also check out Greg A he’s a Cummins guy.

[@as5950]

Taylor, keep the Fummins man. Its a great back up unit and quite frankly its one of the coolest builds on this channel. You can even throw air suspension on it and get away with keeping the current wheel set up on it (which I think looks amazing) while maintaining good ride quality. KEEP THE FUMMINS. Plus lets be real..this truck would not have broken down how your 6.7 did...

[@kevinmory8720]

The bad part is that no matter what truck you get, chances are it will have a breakdown. My thought is to be able to work on it to the best of your ability with the equipment you normally carry with you.. been there! It's a tough choice.

[@baileyhatfield4273]

work on it, easy to work on, parts are common. Plus a nice ride. Them tires do not help.

[@mikerichards6029]

My personal thoughts, manual trucks are cool as a novalty but when your running it as your main tow vehicle it soon becomes old. Also a bigger turbo with maybe some "less cool" wheels would make the fummins more comfortable. While it's nice to have a truck that hits all the spots, it's main job is to get you where you need to go comfortably and reliably.

[@dakotabarringer6016]

We ALL want the fummins back. Plus it seems like its the best route.

[@BlakDawnman]

IMO the tow rig is the one you want to get as close to ideal in stock form as possible. I'd say the dodge with a Cummins you can fix/ maintain yourself is the best option especially from a comfort perspective. Could even choose to do a cool video on sound damping, audio enhancements, trailer mods, etc to make it the best long haul rig possible.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

But it is stock, just different stock. A dodge with a cummins and the fummins is essentially the same thing, well the fummins don't have dodge electronics or craptastic transmissions or blown out dashes! But there is no difference in going into the store and if engine related saying 08 dodge, if the rest 08 Ford. We won't mention how "stock" has many downfalls and a lot left to be desired, Upgrades and updates are a must (and deletes!) Or get a F650 and it has a cummins from the factory! 🤯 Also where he is located he honestly probably has a better chance getting a upgraded part from a shop if anything happens than anthing "stock"

[@beratsbuilds]

I always loved the looks of that car. Chrome on black with the aggressive tires is such a mood

[@vincentlamoureux8446]

I knew you would come back to the old girl!!! All the new trucks are JUNK SIR

[@LoganKingMedia]

I think I would rather get the newer dodge with the stick shift, more power and comfortable for long trips

[@Taylordrifts]

One note on the which truck debate. The downside with upgrading the fummins is I need it to tow with. So I can’t have it down for a long period of time and do everything I want. So it makes it a bit trickier to do what I want to do. Would have to do it in short stages. And get over the worry of an issue every time.

[@who_is_asking]

I'm in the market for the new truck. If you decide not to keep it. Florida local.

[@billrichmond4922]

That was the main point I was going to bring up, I think you answered your question with that last thought. Good luck.

[@chandlerisringhausen9786]

I say definitely go with a cummins 6spd!!

[@mathewmcgillivray9886]

Look into S&S diesel motorsport DCR pump for you're 6.7 powerstroke, it is a drop in replacement of the cp4 , and for the fummins Firepunk punk diesel could tell you exactly what you need for what you want out the cummins engine

[@969290]

Kinda sounds like you trying to convince us

[@TheLadderAssist]

This truck is so much want. So much goals.

[@trevoradam1946]

Another way to improve the ride is go to a smaller rim so you have more side wall

[@alhalex8501]

Oh, how long I have waited for this video ! Also… the 5.9 Cummins engine bays look soooo good when why are cleaned up painted and wire tucked.

[@yrboogiemn]

Such a badass truck. Definitely my dream build.

[@taylorlee640]

Think about how excited you were to drive the truck for the first time again man, idk if it’s just me but I always regret selling vehicles that excite me like that

[@ericl5973]

I really like the manual G56 behind my Cummins. Not much shifting once you're at highway speed.

[@kiemet94]

My vote is to airbag and add the Jake brake to the Fummins. Can't beat the simplicity of it, as you say should never leave you totally stranded

[@brendan747]

go back to a 18” wheel and normal size tires, better fuel economy. some aftermarket coils and bags for better ride alongside the tires. . get some 40% overs and a set of towing compounds. you’ll be very happy with that fummins.

[@oat.cortadhoe]

My advice is maybe stay automatic. Just imagine a long day of driving, you’re sunburnt and exhausted. Sometimes you just want to kick on the a/c and have your automatic truck to drive back.

[@ParkerOviedo]

Your truck is my dream truck. That same body style dually on semi wheels is just perfect

[@dustingresham8078]

I love the fummins, but I love stick shifts. Plus, the newer dodges look badass.

[@Extremebutcher]

Id keep the fummins since you know it inside and out, upgrade it performance, ride, heck even trans then you got it sorted it hasnt let you down yet and you built it for towing reasons, and if it does break you can fix it in a parking lot

[@hotrodscott]

Ditch the wheel tire combo for taller sidewall and a much softer ride and tinker with the other nuances until sorted is my vote. Give the interior a refresh for really comfortable seats and a modern sound system. But if you go with something else I totally dig the manual trans idea. Drivers drive, its what we do.

[@zacharygay7598]

Honestly, either way you go I think would provide great content on our end so it’s ultimately up to you on what decision you make!

[@unclefirstgen724]

The kicking in and out of gear sounds like a tps and the squeaking may be a cooling fan bracket. Grab the fan and see if it has any up and down play. Great video man!

[@victoralley708]

I'm happy to see the Fummins back in action. I had watched a couple of your videos here and there, but the Fummins build is what really got me into your channel. And I'm not gonna lie, I kinda fell off watching your videos recently, and now that the Fummins is back so am I. I'm invested in your content again. I don't really know why, I like drifting and fast cars more than trucks, content-wise and in real life, but there's just something about this Fummins build that keeps me coming back for more. Edit: I guess a manual trans dodge build would be cool. I know they also have a lot more issues with front end parts, tie rod ends, ball joints, that sorta thing. I worked with a dude a few years ago who had just bought a nice dodge, like a 2016, which at the time was only a year old and still under warranty. And he said every time he took it in for service it cost him a thousand dollars every time. So there's that. But I think that if I were in your shoes I would just continue building the Fummins. Yeah, there might be some challenges, but you have already put so much time and effort into that truck. And it's such a cool, custom build. There's a million manual transmission dodge's, there aren't too many Fummins. And the Fummins is going to give you more content in the long run because with the dodge you're just going to build the engine and slap some wheels on it. You can do whatever you want with the Fummins. And while it is more fun to drive a manual transmission, if you were ever to build the engine to over 1000 horsepower a built automatic transmission would hold up better than a manual. And if the 2020 is still under warranty I would keep it. Continue using that to tow your trailer while you build the Fummins into the ultimate long distance tow pig, and sell it when the Fummins is a complete, polished build that doesn't need any more upgrades or bugs worked out.

[@Waterproofed640]

Maybe go back to a nice set of stock tires for the long trips and throw in some feature comforts i.e. jake brake, air ride 🤔 but if you must replace the fummins make it a good one 👍

[@davinbrown8348]

With emissions still intact, And she gets down. Before I had this truck I had a 3/4 ton 2500 with helper bags and spring and the now 1ton truck rides nice in tow (very confident/ comfortable) and is not bad to drive daily as I do (my 3/4 ton was way rougher of a ride). I’ve done a twin disc clutch, tune, intake, and a few other odds and ends but over all it has been great!

[@beyondmaintenance]

By the time you read this comment, you’ll already have decided to keep the Fummins. Tire and wheel change to help with ride and less rotating mass (braking and acceleration), fix that stuck brake pad while you’re at it, repair the console top and give it a proper detail in the cab. Fresh again. You’ve got a plan for the transmission tune and under the hood. It’s got no payments either. ✌🏽😎

[@Easton_Johns0n]

I would say keep the Fummins, but be on the look out for a solid deal on the Cummins if you really liked it. Don’t go too crazy on the upgrades for the Ford, so if you want to sell, then you won’t have regrets. Who knows, you may fall in love with the Fummins again. Then the expensive upgrades will be even more worth it down the road.

I’ve never had issues getting something warrantied and I lost a fuel system within 800 miles of the warranty being gone and it was warrantied no questions asked which surprised the hell outta me. Now that may be depend on the dealer/service department I use, I don’t know. I do understand your rationale about having a Cummins. I would imagine finding a newer manual Dodge dually is going to be tough even more so if you want one loaded up. I think they stopped the manual in ‘18 in the US.

I think you guys should run through the upgrades on the Fummins. Build it up clean it up and upgrade it to what you want and give it try. Do some sound deadening, maybe look into suspension upgrades, and see if you can make it what you want. If it doesn’t work out then look into a 6 speed Cummins dodge truck

[@1SLO6FO]

Just an observation but it looked like the old filter seal was left in the pump. Also if you still fight the trans tuning, you can always keep thr 5r but run a PCS controler as a standalone TCM. I would recommend a clutch refresh and upgrading at least the direct drum to hold 6 clutches vs 4 as thats a common failure point in the 5r.

[@ottawander949]

I noticed the same thing about the trans filter seal, dunno if the old one had a black one vs orange on the new, or maybe Taylor didn't film it, but it looked to me like the old one didn't come out with the filter (4:42).

[@GMC.Sprint]

I've used the PCS transmission controllers before and they worked well on the 4L70e.

[@clue232]

I vote -- keep the fumminns. Driving a 6 speed towing sounds fun but also like it'd get old after a while on a 20 hour trip. Put as many creature comforts as you can -- backup cameras, refurbed interior pieces. Bigger turbo if needed.

[@scottchristensen9718]

I hear a Ford guy texting. Lift the cab, swap the pump, injectors ,fuel lines and install the "Mod" inline filter so next time the CP4 eats it you can hopefully lessen the carnage. Ford and GM had the chance to deep6 that joke and use the bulletproof Cp3. Love the swap but the 6 looks like it came right out of the swamp yard. Maybe that GM thing has gobbled all your time up. "you’ll have no issues" is pretty funny. All new trucks are scary.

​@@jowens4160 that's the difference I'd never worry about a Ford breaking down on the road, but dodge made sure you had all that engine space to do so lol, I'd take a steel body 6.7 anyday.....

[@justingould7348]

Keep the new F350. All trucks break doesn’t matter what they are. Chances of this happening are slim and you do have a warranty. I could understand if they gave you trouble on the warranty. It could easily been a problem on the Fummins or a A different Ram that wasn’t able to be fixed on the side of the road and you been in the same position. It’s no cut on you and I mean no offense but I think you were expecting too much from a warranty/emergency situation if something had happened. You got the reality once something did.

That turbo sounds amazing!

[@matt72991]

Should look into adding tap shift so you can more easily pick the gear you want the transmission to use. Should also consider a different gauge monitor setup. Something like an edge cts3 insight. Edit. I also support getting the manual Cummins. I have a 6 speed Cummins and hate towing with anything else.

[@tylershenenberger8112]

I missed this truck screw dealerships. Compound turbo the truck put an allison 1000 in it. It will be bulletproof then

[@Restomodz]

That’s right you come crawling back to Cummins ❤

Would it be worth putting an automated manual in it with a standalone ECU? (or looking into it, if tuning doesn't help) Would solve the power perception issue and the shifting issue and should increase you MPG to boot. Maybe a suspension upgrade for a smoother ride? Softer coils or leaves with an airbag seconadary for towing? Wouldn't be an insignificant amount of work but might be worth it, especiaslly if you get the other truck back as a backup. Love seeing you work, whatever solution you go for. On the trailer.. if your wrapping it, match the car Livery 😉 Deff go black for looks, though it'll be toasty in that Florida sun. 🥵 P.S. Gold tape doesnt work (at least the way it should) if you put stuff over it. It's to reflect radiative heat away which doesn't work when it's touching. Doesn't matter, won't hurt, just would save you gold tape if ever thinking of doing similar again. It's better for keeping firewalls and the like cooler or over other less / non-reflective insulation. Which would I own? Probably the new one.. But If I was in your situation, I don't have a shop + tools + time, Id deff go for the Fummins. You know how to fix 90%+ of anything that could go wrong with it and parts are still prety common for it. The audience loves it and it's more content to keep upgrading and making it better when you don't have events or other projects. Win win win IMO That said, nothing you do is boring, so I'm here whatever you decide. P.S, get to an event in Ireland some time.

[@vegaswould]

didn't look like you got the old o-ring seal out before installing your new filter. might wanna double check.

[@stevegillis5297]

Love my 2017 Ram 2500 crew cab diesel 8ft bed with mounts for both gooseneck and fifth wheel. Has engine brakes and trailer brakes, 6 speed auto with optional manual. Have towed a fully loaded 4 horse trailer that probably weighs close to your car hauler without even a grunt.

[@fordtruckman80]

I prefer manuals, so Dodge it is. I also suggest ditching the semi wheels on the Fummins. Get some rubber back on those sidewalls and you'll notice the improvement in ride quality.

[@carlosmarquez3844]

I just keepo hearing Taylor saying he's buying the new Ram

[@oblivion_3171]

Any truck you get can break down regardless, don’t give up on the ford just for one set back. In the long run you’ll be way more comfortable in a new truck, plus once the warranty is over you free to do whatever you want with the ford.

[@thepeeve]

Not really. The CP4 is absolute junk and cannot be trusted. And you can’t put a cp3 on it since it would void the warranty. I wouldn’t touch a cp4 truck with a 10 foot pole if I want to keep a warranty
