Is it worth running old equipment? Any savings to be had. Hotshot trucking. 500k+ miles. 

"I agree, the older I get I like a quiet truck"... too funny.. just like, I like to turn down the radio to see better in traffic.. thanks..

I agree, the older I get I like a quiet truck.

Let them breathe boys !! What’s up, Paul? Thank you for putting out such a wonderful content - I have learned a lot from you!!!

You have a good attitude, thanks for sharing, especially for those of us getting these higher miles for the first time.

Exhaust brake sounds awesome!!!!

I'm open to other opinions on this, but I have about 200k miles on my personal 6.7L, and I've never done the EGR cooler clean out. I have cleaned the EGR valve multiple times, but never the cooler. No emissions issues at all with my rig. I do have my company trucks' EGR systems completely serviced, as they do a lot more idling. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I believe it's not necessary for everyone. And yes, I've avoided it on my truck just out of laziness. But again, no emissions issues with me.

Thank very much for your insight.

Great video.

As somebody who drives a semi.... if you're going to run old equipment, you better enjoy the hands on side of things, or you better have a personal relationship with a solid mechanic. The time and expense of putting a truck in the shop will bankrupt you faster than everything else. Of course... I'm driving a full blown semi... but I'd imagine our worlds aren't all that different.

Beautiful Truck I Like

You should do a video your routine wear and teae item change intervals

I'm been subscribed for a while now......This Guy knows Ram trucks......I moved up to semi because I realized what he means about hailing heavy with a dually ram.....at the end of the day it's a pickup truck..........I Appreciate every video made.........I'm very mechanically inclined and if your not.....ram diesel maintenance can compare to semi truck real fast.......once high mileage and I have the 68rfe transmission......Weak transmission when towing heavy.....

I got one for you, my 22 3500 ram blew the factory serpentine tensioner at 29,000 miles and wrecked every idler pulley and broke the fan. All because the plastic pulley on the factory belt tensioner blew apart.

High miles and that truck still kicks butt.....I never did get to drive one of the duallys ;) proper maintenance and they will last a very long time

equipment depends on how well you take care of it.. I like doing all the maintenance myself. so older equipment is fine with me.

500 miles per quart. 10 quarts in the engine = 5,000 mile oil change

Have you done a video on the heater grid bolt that the internet and banks says will kill a 6.7 cummins? Been watching for seven years, thanks for all the info.

Have you had issues with AC condensation leaking into the cab in the passenger foot well? Mine leaks whenever im on defrost or AC is on and it’s not a clogged drain line, it’s literally the hvac plenum leaking where it’s connected all together where the evap coil is. Coil is also nice and clean. The drain is nice and clean and unobstructed. 112k miles on my 2010 4th gen.

Have you ever tried Ams oil additive helps clean soot in the engine would like your input?

I look forward to these pm videos with your opinions and experiences. I like reading comments for info too

Thanks Paul. Great video as always. My question is regarding age over miles. I have a '14 3500 SRW HO with only 55,000 miles on it. What should I look for at ten years old? It's a great truck and don't plan to replace it for MANY more years!

Off topic but with your S&B are you getting any codes? I got a banks intake and I keep getting a code that says my crank case hose is disconnected

What is that thing on your windshield? Is that police detector? A dash cam?

Serpentine belt interval? 100k?

What filters do you like?

What trans have u had better luck with on the 14 model or so I’ve got a 14 3500 but it was put on a diet before we got it has a Asin transmission

Hi Paul, I currently run Mobil Delvac 75W-90 in my rear axle. What brand of 75W-140 gear oil would you recommend for the rear axle. I have a 2016 Ram 3500 SRW with 48,000 miles that I use almost exclusively to pull a 12,000 pound fifth wheel. Thanks for the great videos.

How often you change ur fuel filter. Do you change filter by fuel tank more often than the fuel filter under the hood?

Any advice to maintain the emissions system working properly.?
