Same.. He was in the perfect spot to take a shot in the face. lol... Not very aware, these guys. They should have caught the table flipping up too.. With the trailer flipping over-- that's just because it's a bad design-- all the weight is way up high, so you really have to go slow around corners: She's far too top heavy to be turning faster than 30mph.
You guys need to put a flatbed system with shorter rails for all the heavy towing you do. Even with the few mishaps your content is 👌🏼💯. Keep it coming.
About the DEF usage - we got a 2022 Ram 2500 last fall and have close to 18,000 miles on it now. It burned considerably more DEF on break in than it does now. Would take a near jug every week or two driving normally for maybe the first 5k miles, but now I’m filling it maybe once a month. No difference in driving conditions.
Hey guys swap out that factory Kurt ball and install a B&W in there. The ball and pin design of the Kurt breaks and well you will need a new wedge trailer.
I've got a Ram too. I like that the Rams have enough power they don't need to stick a 10 speed in them to make it work better. But, realistically, none of the heavy duty pickups are a bad choice anymore. I'm a Ram guy I guess because the Cummins diesel engine has been tried and true for years and years and years. There is a reason all the tractor trailers on the road pulling the weight of the world have inline diesel engines in them. Better design for diesel engines, in my opinion. Anyway, like I said awhile ago, glad you're all ok and nothing happened during the trailer toll incident and congrats on a beautiful new tow rig. Can't beat the technology in those nee Rams. I still find features in mine every now and again. Haha
Hey guys!! Love the content and yall have some of the best attitudes after all the great luck. I've fallen on really hard times or I would definitely support the rebuilds. Much love brothers and have fun rebuilding and fixing the rebuilt rebuilds.. lmao
6 in a row makes them tow! I’ve had duramax’s and power strokes.. but after I got a Cummins I was hooked! I like the older stuff mines a 06 3500.. it don’t have the def and all the deletes to do to them.. diesel’s high enough without having to add def fluid.. and all the crack downs.. nah.. I like my older stuff! Some people is all about the creature comforts.. nah I don’t need push button everything.. and I’m like y’all I don’t want the hole n the roof! U can get some tunes that will work with the factory emission stuff for the dodge.. and help that def situation out.. keep up the great content. Y’all try and calm down on all the damage situation.. those machines and stuff wow. Rick I will have to say.. looks like a new cage bud and your back to going.. unless I missed something n the video.
The trans temp in the SD's are regulated with an internal thermostat to keep the fluid at temp for better mileage and the trans is designed to run at the warmer temp than what you are used to seeing on older stuff. My 19' 6.7 trans temp will increase by 3-5* from empty to pulling 10k no matter how I drive it. New trucks are silly how good they tow though, hard to go wrong with any of the big 3. You guys tow big stuff long distances and he likes the duallys, check out a F450 with that wide track front end. 6.7 power, 10 speeds and tuning radius FTW.
Love the content glad no one got hurt but I will say this get rid of the goose neck ball and go to 5th wheel easier to check and tow a million times better
I had a 2019 ram limited 3500 HO Cummins and it drank DEF too. Not sure why. My 2014 Ram 2500 barely sued any DEF. My 2021 powerstroke used very little DEF as well compared to my 2019 Ram HO 3500. I also felt like my 2021 powerstroke definitely had more power than my 2019 ram HO Cummins, although both had plenty of power. And I also agree the powerstroke had plenty of cooling capacity but the 2019 ram oil and trans ran cooler.
@@matthewerwin4677 yeah it seems pretty random how much they burn. Like I said my 2014 2500 Cummins used so little DEF that I thought it wasn’t actually functioning. But the dealer checked it and it was working. My 2019 Ram HO burned DEF like it had a hole in the tank. I know several other late model ram owners and their def usage varies greatly. 🤷♂️
@@paullane7489 It's all based on NOx output which is very load dependent. Flatbed load my Cummins sips DEF, pulling my 5th wheel @ 75+ not so much. I just get excited to go use the toys and haul a$$.
Duramax….. you got Larry and yet to be named Cummins. Just get them all and send it. Personally I’ve had a few Cummins and duramaxs.. can’t pick a favorite. They both do good things and bad (48re🤦🏻)Fords blow coolent out the intake 🤷🏻♂️ they all good and bad in one way or another. I tuned all of mine so obviously stock vs stock I have no idea but I know what makes HP and don’t shit out when you wanna crank it up. This is for sure a Doug job. I’d say about 4 Doug pounds per truck. Look forward to the future and nothing but love for you guys
I am buying a new truck in the next few months. I am going to get either a Ford F-350 or RAM 3500 single rear wheel, 6 3/4’ bed. Which would you chose based off your experience in both. I tow a 20’ enclosed with up too, 4 dirt-bikes and a turbo XP4 along with lots of camping gear, tools, parts, and fuel.
With those big long top-heavy trailers loaded to the hilt you guys need to get yourself’s one of those M2-106 Freightliner tow hauler trucks, a lot more power, much better brakes and a lot more payload and you can still use your Operators drivers license.
@@vicoactus9246 didn't know you guys were missing out on squirrels. Then again squirrels don't want to kill you. Everything in Australia wants to kill you. I think it's a requirement.
Fun fact: DEF fluid is made from urea, which is also the main ingredient in fertilizer, and there is a worldwide shortage on fertilizer and food shortages are occurring 🙃
I bought 6 of the mountain house food buckets and also have 6 10 cans of fruits and vegetables in addition to fresh foods and rice beans after that's gone it's book of Eli time.
@@MrErichonda30 Having emergency food supplies is good, but the problem we have is caused by many governments in the world requiring DEF fluid to run diesel engines after about 2010. Also, if most diesel trucks can't run then the grocery stores can't be restocked (quite a tangled web we weave) At least we will have electric vehicles to save us 😅
More importantly did you guys find the 2 coolers in the floor under back floor mat? Think that puts dodge 1 mark up on Ford. Have the same truck Limited with Sunroof Midnight Edition and it’s been best truck I have ever owned.
My 3500 Ram 4X4 crew cab single rear wheel used hardly any DEF when empty. For example when I traveled from my home in southwest Tennessee to Maine not towing anything I didn't have to put any DEF in, but when I towed my 5th wheel camper from Tennessee to Maine I used almost 5 gallons of DEF.
@@khai989 I put 90K on my truck with ZERO issues, recalls or broken parts!! And 95% was towing 14k so your problems with RAM pickups isn't spot on! And this one was my third Cummins and my other two are still working with zero issues to this day.
@@khai989 LOL most of the hotshot trucks I see are Ram/Cummins. They're both great products and we're all lucky as consumers to have these towing monsters available to us.
You should have gave an update on how the truck was doing after you unloaded 9000# off the back of the trailer. Hauling weight is always better than dragging it. I'm sure the truck did much better and I'm sure it rode a lot better too.
When they loaded that in the back I was curious if they'd have enough tongue weight, she didn't break a sweat. I know that's a heavy load but if it's the HO Cummins w/ an Aisin and 4.10s they're good for over 35k lbs.
@@okcmoparguy724 well the motor of the Chevy was in front of the axles so they had plenty of tongue weight, but a load always pulls heavier when most of the weight is on the rear. I know the truck has plenty of power to get it done. I own one myself. They was complaining about using so much DEF fluid and was just curious how much better it did with out all the weight to the rear of the trailer.
You guys should be getting a larger truck. One ton is not enough. You should be getting a towderhome set up. And a proper 5th wheel set up. They are much safer. Really like the channel, you guys haveorr fun the I've ever had. It's great to see.
@@johnsnyder1046 nah, it pays off. They spend a lot on hotel and other costs. It's a large purchase up front. And to address the other comment. The wedge is unstable. All that weight up high is no good. I trucked for a long time. Up high is no good. All heavy stuff should be near the ground. Sxs up high seem fine. But full size. Obviously is no good.
Yeah I would be shocked if that limited didn’t have it. I had a 2019 limited that came with the bed camera. You have to turn it on to that camera though, and I bet they didn’t know that or didn’t know how to do it.
Well you need to grease that ball. That's the number 1 thing to do, get some chain extensions so you don't pop the chains and get an bungee style break away cable.
All I got is a Frankie I do bodywork and guess what I have moved bedsides just the exact same way. Just make sure the tailgate is down so you don’t fuck that up to. Lol
Get that DEF system checked because the dodge ram trucks they go every once in a while and when they go it could be from anywhere from $5000-$8000 to replace. It happened to a couple of people I know. Maybe that’s just here in Canada.
