The torque wars are ridiculous. The drivability and reliability are what buyers look for. I don't care which one is "faster". If you're buying an HD truck for speed, you're nuts. They are made for towing and hauling heavy loads and doing it well for a long time. That's the point. It is exciting to hear about a ZF mated to the Cummins HO. That should be a formidable combo.

There are many who believe that ZF makes the world's best transmissions. Of course, Cummins is legendary. Little boys grow into men wanting a Cummins diesel. So, I believe that this is a smart move.

The 5.9 got excellent fuel and and were bulletproof we put over 250,000 miles on all three without any major issues. The 6.7 where in the shop too many times to count and the damn DEF systems all had multiple issues. Forget power they need to make the new engine more reliable and problem free.

They just didn’t drive anywhere as good as the competing. That and I trust the 68RFE about as far as I can throw it, which is pretty self explanatory. It’s way better than the old 4 speed, but under extreme duty, just doesn’t hold up.

Really how much power do you really need? All you need is GEARING! With a deep enough hole and ratio spread and decent flat torque curve. Somewhere around the 420 hp, @2,500 rpm’s with 1,150 lbs ft@ 1,600 rpm’s. With a clean but reasonable DEF system and exhaust system. With a very nice big gain in mileage being a key factor, no matter how it’s done, even if lower power is made, to get a HD to achieve 20 city 25 highway! That would shame the others that may reach the top of the Ike Tunnels long grade, but doing so at over 12 mpg! While maintaining legal speed.

[@JohnSmith-ev1sm]

It might make more sense for Ram/Cummins to only have one, but I think from a consumer standpoint this is bad. Having some real separation in capability between the 2500 and 3500 series trucks makes sense. So then naturally having a smaller engine, focused on less cost (perhaps) but more importantly, fuel efficiency, would be a good thing. We don't need a 2500 with 2000 lb/ft of torque, that makes 0 sense. If you need more power than 800 lb/ft then hop into the 3500, that's literally what its there for. For the 2500, give me a smaller engine, and allow me to keep my total cost of ownership down (less def usage, less mpg, and whatever else is involved). Having an updated 8 speed across the board though, that is a good thing. I don't think this will help sales either, the Ram heavy duty looks stale, and it has the smallest cab. That needs to be adressed at some point very soon. If they had come out with an all new 5th gen heavy duty 2500, new cab, updated dimensions, 8 speed transmission, and a more efficient cummins at 800 lb/ft, that would be killer IMHO. Keep the 1000+ lb/ft monster for the 3500 where its actually needed.

[@bradsullivan870]

Folks, the reason they are introducing a whole new motor is that when they designed the new block, they reduced weight to the tune of 75 pounds less than the previous cast iron blocks. Some of that weight reduction was done in and around the crankshaft journals. From what I understand the journals actually flex to an oval shape under load because the block doesn't have the "meat" in that area. This in turn causes oiling issues with the adjacent rod bearings. It throws a rod and knocks a hole in the side of the block. Trust me I have a 2023 with the new block and I plan on trading it ASAP and am none too happy that they have done this. I don't want to be in the middle of nowhere pulling a toy hauler and have to potentially put an oil fire out. The new material they use to make the block now is compacted graphite iron (CGI) and best I can tell was introduced in the 2019 models.

More power but that new transmission is only rated for 1000lbs of torque?

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I talked about this in the video about the new ZF and I don't know if they have changed some components to allow it to take more torque or the pick up trucks being lighter could change that number up. I'm not honestly sure but it is something that caught my eye as well!

[@Natedoc808]

Shame they didn’t keep the HO options for the 2500s, my 03 Cummins HO 2500 pulls better than a buddy’s ’22 6.7L Cummins SO in his 2500.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

Those pre-emission engine just hit differently lol

[@bm9074]

Outstanding

[@chrisbarnes9217]

Why do you say that the 2024 Ram 2500 6.7 is the worst ? I just bought one a month ago.1:08 pm

[@TheGettyAdventures]

It performed the worst on my towing loop. Performance isn't everything obviously but it has fallen behind Both GM and Ford in my opinion.

[@asmrcummins9492]

They need to change the heavy duty cabs to match the updated half ton ram cabs.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I never really understood why they didn't switch the cab over in the 2019 when the fifth gen HD trucks came out.

[@asmrcummins9492]

It doesn’t really make sense. Especially with the improvements made to the new cabs it would do bring the heavy duty cabs on par with GM and Ford.

[@joeyjordan1209]

If only they can find someone to do their suspension and electronics and they’ll have a good truck!

[@fozzybear9114]

Huh????

[@Beall_]

If you want suspension go put a Carli Suspension kit. Electronics ain’t even bad

[@jamiehamilton789]

I doubt ram will remain in business long enough to get it to market. They can’t even clear the inventory they have now. Have you seen the dealers lots lately? They’re completely full.

[@clarkmorgan1151]

Have u heard about a traveller's. Truck

[@benlomond8055]

I bought a new 2023 Ram 2500 w/a Cummins I6 could I theoretically replace the 68RFE w/the new ZF 8-speed some day?

[@TheGettyAdventures]

Hard to say, it would depend on if this new engine comes with a different bell housing, potentially new transmission mounts, different transmission cooler.

[@benlomond8055]

@@TheGettyAdventures Well this was supposed to be a once in a life time purchase so we'll see how she goes.. hopefully for many years to come :)

[@harryniedecken5321]

Needs the mega cab

[@andres93b]

so you don't like the last manual transmission ?

[@mikesh8968]

U actually off.....they keeping the Aisen....add zf and Alison rt1000 Zf is a subpar in comparison to the other 2 in towing

[@jnk26]

That ZF is far from bulletproof. Look at the Paccer labeled TX-8. Same with the PX7 and 9. That duty cycle is far from what any pickup will ever see. KW T180-480(19k-58k GVWR) and the Pete versions are the only places this transmission have been available, they are NOT selling better than the Allison in Paccars own products. Looking at the placement of the TCM is kinda scary, honestly.

[@mini2nut67]

Switching to the new HD ZF PowerLine tranny and the new 6.7l Cummins means that Dodge diesel powertrain for 2025 will be unbeatable.

[@nbitt1319]

Sounds promising

[@DCGEMINI202]

When does the 2025 ram 6.4L come out?

[@privateer9181]

when we say brand new.. are we saying a 6th gen? the big thing about the tranny for me is its service intervals..or lack thereoff

[@jimmyaber5920]

Does the revised engine go to the MD rear end cam and pump drive version, or is it the Ram pickup engine turned up?

[@BrandonLeech]

I don't think anybody knows yet what the actual technical revisions will be from the current engines, if there even are any. They might just be dropping the standard output version and doing a modest power bump on the current HO version and calling it "new and improved". The transmission I believe they have been working on for quite some time which is probably the bigger news.

[@BillyWilliams-d2e]

Will use gasoline ⛽️ or propane

[@jordanficek4805]

I’m thinking the new Cummins will blow ford and GM away honestly the 6.7 power strokes are still trash

[@user-bx4vd5ho9p]

I drive the 5500, for my business! The standard output is a gutless wonder with a drinking problem! Having a h.o. with the 5500 should grant me the ability to make some money! The headlights on my 5500 are the best feature on the truck! I could go for a manual transmission for the 5500! And with the new Chevron win less emissions! Not that we need to be rolling coal but the ability to let the truck breathe

[@1hasbeen531]

You won't see the HO in C&C trucks.

[@demuntresmith6666]

I can bet you that new high output Cummins is gonna come with a crazy price tag. I got a feeling it is a little too late for them ford is a few steps ahead. They should’ve came out with the high output Cummins three years ago..

[@TheGettyAdventures]

I agree the price tag will be something to look out for lol
