The cummins engine is great but the rest of the dodge truck isn't as good as the gm trucks. A neighbor of our shop had an outer tie rod end break when driving by our shop at 30 MPH and he hopped the curb into our parking lot! This was a 2011 3500 Mega cab with 30k. Luckily he was only doing 30. The rest of Chrysler products also have their fair share of issues especially the mercedes era cars.

So now that we recovered the 6.0 and 7.3 :Whatever: can we get back to 2010 6.7 or later (as requested) when discussing Ford.

Is it an option on a 3500 dually? How Do I know the truck has it? When did they start putting them in? I`m looking at 2010 trucks
thanks

99 dodge 2500 sport w/ a cummins pulling a 38 top gun,,13.3mpg at 65mph,12.2mpg at 70-72mph.325k on the clock when we did that.had more on it the next year heading to key west.

Mine is a dually and that was at 68-70.
Dan I'm pretty sure (haven't kept up last couple years) all the 6.7 dodges have the Aisin warner trans.

Dang, Doc, nothing like a 12 foot jump. Now you just gotta wait til spring to run the thing. You gonna do Boyne Thunder in the 38?

Dan, I've got a 2010 with the automatic and we regularly gross 40,000 to 45,000 gross with a 40' gooseneck. I'm at 130,000 on the odometer and the only problem I've had is u joints about every 15,000 miles and the pinion bearings need replacing right now. Rear tires are only good for about 15,000 miles We carry these loads up into the hills in West Virginia weekly. I'm not saying it hasn't taken a toll on the truck overall because it has but so far it's always come home under its own power. I've had a few loads of lumber on it when I grossed 55,000 to 57,500. It has a Smarty programmer on it and air bags with a leveling valve as well.

If it's a 2010 in has the Aisin. I think 2008 was the first year for the Aisin. My 2009 had it for sure.

it's standard on the 2010 diesel. Very nice combo.

Good thread, lots of good info thank you.
I see the in the 2012+ trucks the tq jumped quite a bit. 800+ tq, thats hauling the mail
