What’s the deal with 2022 Rams

2022 Ram 3500. Aisin trans. 3.73 rear end

[@manwithnoname734]

Don't idle unless you have to! I have a 2020 that I use for hotshot and I never idle overnight. I have a Webasto airtop diesel heater for cold nights that keeps my cab toasty warm even when it's -20 out in Wyoming. In the summer I have multiple little usb fans to keep me cool. I run amsoil in everything with a bypass filter, S&B intake, S&S CP3 fuel pump, Banks rear diff cover, and my drivetrain seems very happy!

I think many of us will be hanging on to our 4th gens for a while. I certainly will be.

I haven’t had any issues…..there isn’t a single change between the 21 and 22. Cummins builds these engines, not Ram. I haven’t read anything build wise where they made any changes to the Cummins from 2021 to 2022. It’s like anything else, there is a bad build from time to time. Everyone I know loves the 2022.

Would like to see some towing videos with these 22s. Really miss the good heavy towing videos. That’s what got me hooked on your channel years ago. Please bring them back.

Heres a trick to bypass idling if stopped in traffic. Activate the cruise control and hit the minus ( - ) button. This will set the engine idle up a few hundred RPM’s and help save the DPF filter by not idling at a lower RPM.

Difference from '21 trucks and '22 is so odd. I have a '21 3500 DRW with an Aisin and 3:73's and cannot say enough good things about it. Just took it in for 100k service and the only thing it has had besides maintenance has been an EGR (under warranty). I literally have to put my livelihood on the line with that truck and I would trust it go to Texas and back with a 40ft. gooseneck loaded with 18k payload.

To the people saying Buy a Chevy or buy a Ford. This literally happens to every single brand no matter what, if you own and operate a large number of these trucks you’re gonna have a bad egg once in a while that’s why warranties exist and that’s why they get used. The biggest problem right now is parts supply and everything being on back order if he had a fleet of all the Duramax trucks or all powerstroke trucks he would be in the same boat

The emission $hit is there to kill the engines. I'm glad I don't have a new one. my 2011 works great...it lost some weight.

[@JackL-eg8ze]

Hey Paul, I’ve got a question I am sure a lot of guys on this channel would like you to give your best shot at answering. Roughly how many hours do the trucks sit idling while the drivers catch some shut eye. Do you think this idle time is contributing to the dpf problems? My 13’ Cummins has a high idle setting via cruise control switch, do your drivers use this feature to keep the motor running above idle? Just some thoughts?

[@joebarry2641]

I run a edge cts to help monitor the average every 800 mile passive regen cycles. I can only imagine how many Ram Cummins owners shut their truck down mid cycle. It’s too bad the truck doesn’t tell you it’s doing it which is why I got the system. Wonder if it would help with the 22 to make sure it completes the regen cycle before shutting down?

[@mikerobinson8734]

I love my 5.9 3500 pre emissions. 185k miles no issues whatsoever.

[@DroptineTrans]

Man I appreciate all your channel so much!

[@aaronkelley8909]

Beautiful truck. Thanks for the update. I was looking for a newer truck but guess I’ll keep my old school 2nd gen.

[@coreybell1538]

Well my 1998 24v 5.9 Cummins do the job. 600 crank horsepower and 813 torque. I'm in love with that truck. That 5 speed manual transmission a monster.

[@hotshotcharlie4619]

I had one issue with my 22 ram and it was the knock sensor around 7k mileage caused by running the truck at idle, so far No issue now I'm at 47k mileage and grab a room now cause to be honest it cost the same fuel vs comfort. Bit love your video and imput bro. Also I find it easy to contact the manufacturer for the part shortage, cause ram sales is great parts and service are trash.

[@bengrant8890]

Good luck to you Paul. I hope you get repaired soon.

[@teon1322]

Curious 🧐 to see what part caused everything to fail. Or at least how it’s related to the exhaust etc.

[@Steadierpark]

I had egr problems on my 21’ within 3k miles…solved that problem and it’s been a good truck since.

[@steveh7108]

The exhaust system is a major pain but it's not from the manufacturers of any of these trucks it's the EPA.

[@okcmoparguy724]

Hey PD, how many miles and total hours were on the truck with the engine concern? Also, it's never ran 15w40 has it? This new engine wants 10W30 or 5W40. Big fan of your channel sir!
