Power Driven Diesel Ultimate Towing Compound Kit Update (Driving) 

These 37's have over 488 lbs of wheel and tire on the rear axle, can't wait to do the comparison with the stock tires. That's a lot of weight to get moving!

Always enjoy seeing your truck, thanks for making the footage of it! Nice honest review. I was going to comment that you might want to try 35's but then you mentioned you're going to try the stock wheels for comparison so it will be really interesting to hear what you notice. Looking forward to the future content!

Nice truck, and it's never fully done building. I'm looking into rebuilding my motor, so thanks for the advice on the cam. I will be doing videos on all parts on my truck.

That’s a really cool Dually 👍🏻💪🏻

I put a Mishimoto rad on my 01' 24v and it works great. One thing to look for is the back of the old radiator was absolutely clogged with dirt and oil clogging any kind of air flow that was going through it which was my issue. DO NOT go electric fans, no electric fans out there pull as much CFM as the factory fan does.

07 power stroke here. Put a 6,7 Cummins with a big single and big injectors with 4.30’s and 37’s. I love it for pulling heavy. I too dislike the early lockup when partial throttle or maintaining speed in low speed areas. The ford rad is twice the size of the ram, and it’s a mishimoto. I use the 6.7 fan clutch and ps fan. Mine runs about 185 unloaded on the freeway under 60 mph. 190 around 72-75 mph. Towing 14k+ it runs 195-200 on the freeway and the same in town in stop and go. Highest I’ve ever seen it was 208 with 22k in logs behind it in stop and go in town traffic. I also run a 5” with a muffler. The 4.30’s help low end with the longer spool time of the larger non vgt single.

before buying new rad , try cleaning and making sure the cooling system is working correctly. that alone will drop temp 20 to 30°F

Awesome! Got a 12 valve my self. I’m thinking about just going about 400- 450 hp with a single k27

Awesome truck I have a 96 dually single cab.

Respect for working on your own stuff

Love the truck i have same one except 5 speed. Building a new engine now with compound turbo setup and bunch of mods. Currently installing a air dog set up..running 4” exhaust,3.54 gear, current engine has a few mods with 248 k.

I ran that same Hamilton cam shaft in a 95 12 valve had the same problem with overheating went back to the stock cam problem solved. You will also notice a huge difference in turbo spool up I also run a set of twins the stock cam is so much better. Hamilton claimed by turbos are too small for that cam.

The mishimoto radiators are the best option for 2nd gens. Also the stock fan flows more than the electric auxiliary ones. The geno's garage 2nd gen plastic replacement fan with more blades flows the most.

Great build! What size injectors did you go with? Thanks for sharing

What’s up man. We have talked before on ur last video about the truck. I have very similar set up. Put in a torque converter lock up switch. It is so simple to do. It’s just grounding a wire. An taking out a relay. You might have to go to the dealer an get it reflashed to work probably, but it’s a awesome upgrade an makes it so u can control lock up. Just google dodge to lock up switch. Fleece performance makes a nice coolant bypass. Clean cooling system. An upgrade trans cooler. I have 2 B&Ms with electric fans under my bed, an I just did mishimoto trans cooler up front in stock location. Made a big difference. Also if u haven’t yet, eliminate the trans heater on the side of the engine, under the turbos. Those things are junk. They will leak. They are not needed.

Go with a 4 row aluminum radiator and 2 - 16 inch electric fans with aluminum shroud. Big difference in cooling. And if your truck is automatic get a morimoto transmission cooler it really helps.

I have a 98 12 valve pull a 14 K rated trailer with 12k in it no heating problems I did upgrade to a Mishimoto rad. What auto do you have? And what is your final ratio in said trans. I have a nv5600 37’s and 3.55 gears. You say 4.30 is back to stock. I need to regear.

How did your boost levels change during daily driving? Im perfectly happy with my max boost, I just want it to.build alot lower

I would also suggest getting electric fans together with a new (bigger) rad. Keep in mind that the electic Fans can keep going at 100% even at a stoplight and at low revs on steep hills also.

If you have an auto, make sure it is firmly going into lockup. Maybe get a trans temp gauge. Under the exhaust manifold, there is a tranyfluid to radiator temperature exchanger (don't know the actual name). Running say 30lbs boost, high EGT's and unlocked is a good way to throw the coolant temps through the roof

Hey man awesome build. Ive got 35s on my dually and 4.56s. I hate those gears! Truck runs 2600rpm at 80mph with the nv4500. Not to mention my hx35 is running 20psi when cruising at that. Im looking at 4.10s and running 37s like you are. I do alot of highway and its mostly flat here in FL. Could you do an in cab cruising video. Im looking at running compounds just for the comfort.

Check your fan clutch, replace thermostat and water pump, pressure test your cooling system

You can control lockup with a switch...a mod that I’m going to do soon on my ‘97

Put in a 6.7L water pump. I have one in my 97 and it makes a huge difference

Im looking to buy a 2000 dodge ram 3500. It's very rough. I know some of the history behind the truck (a rich Norwegian farmer bought it brand new in 99 when they came to the u.s)

New t stat, clean your rad and make sure the clutch fans strong.

What gear ratio on the axles?

Blanket those Turbines and wrap the exhaust? Air to water Intercooler? Add a divorced trans cooler or if space is limited use one or two 14in to 36in Heat Sinks? Do not lug the motor

What rpm are you at on the highway. Iv got a 97 dually with 4:10 and at 85mph it’s right at 3k

You need to turn over drive off alot to keep rpms higher on them hills it is better for it to be in third at 2500 to 2700 rpms then in over drive at 2000

What rims are those

Try more rpm to keep it cool. Also your condenser looks beat, that's definitely restricting air flow. Just remember the stock cooling system was designed to cool 200ish horsepower. Icebox performance makes customer radiators. Mishimotos may not cut it. They make water wetter additives that help a bit too. Electric fans will not move nearly enough air.

Ar you running an intercooler?

Mishimoto radiator is the way to go

When you do mpg put the fuel in the same place in the neck were you can see it. My worst mpg 10 with 12.000 lb trailer. my best 15 mpg with 6000 lb trailer. best ever 22 mpg only 2 times. average 15 to 17 mpg.

Mishimoto aluminum radiator and trans cooler (get the big one) and aluminum intercooler The stock fan will suck enough air to keep it cool But adding electric to assist isnt bad idea eirher www.trucktrend.com/cool-trucks/1012dp-worlds-toughest-tow-rig-1996-dodge-ram-3500 Just an example...

Bro ur thinking is ass backwoods. Going up to higher # like from 343 ratio to 411ratio will give u more torque pulling power. U have 37" tires thats perf. Leave those gears. U used to go maybe 74mph at 2000 rpms. Now ur rolling 74mph at maybe 2500rpms so just FYI. And leave the stock cooling on this motor. The more it works the more air its creating elec fans will only be all all the fime or nada. It's already set up to pull 20k what u tripping on a measly 1000 pounds in the bed or a rv trailer in future lol bro load it up and go stop over thinking this rig it's already set up for more than u will ever come close to givemer. 0-60 lol this truck actually goes that fast? I've owned two these ad boys and they will out pull anything with or without a radiator trust me. If anything just get the junk outta the stock radiator it's most likely all gummed up from city Boys reckonin they can handle them coal dippen Maniual with da'granny stump yankin creepy crawly gear. U can shover in grandma jump out and take a piss then walk over jump back in...

Is this satire?

Electric fans are worse. There even worse when towing
