    newer Cummins 6.7L ... 5w40 vs 15w40

    Mine was .1 after 5900 miles stock. But with 50% towing. The EGR dropping EGT’s is pretty much the cause for DPF issues not doing passive regens.

    newer Cummins 6.7L ... 5w40 vs 15w40

    I think it’s more a difference if the lifters are made from recycled sardine cans or recycled plow shears is why some fail and some don’t. I don’t think hydraulic lifters are a good idea with the amount of soot the current engines are having to digest because of EGR. The particle size may not...

    newer Cummins 6.7L ... 5w40 vs 15w40

    Hamilton Cams has a solid lifter kit with the cam, lifters, adjustable rocker arms and custom push rods to eliminate the roller lifters. That’s the route Im going if mine goes out. Expensive, yes but cheaper than trading for another ticking time bomb.

    newer Cummins 6.7L ... 5w40 vs 15w40

    The hydraulic roller lifters are only in the engines in the Ram trucks. The Cummins 6.7s that are used in other commercial vehicles and industrial engines are still the flat tappet engines.

    You left out common sense people who are trying to make a living with these trucks while you were stereotyping people who own or drive diesel pickups.

    New Tires for 2022 Ram 2500

    I’m hoping to get to finish wearing mine out this year towing. We didn’t get to make but one trip last year, about 2400 miles. The Firestone HTs did a lot better on my 22’ than the ATs did on my 18’. They were wore out at 28k miles same duty cycle. The Michelins keep checking the right boxes.

    New Tires for 2022 Ram 2500

    Thanks for all of the help. Ride and treadwear are the main concerns. I can handle a little noise as long as it’s not loud enough I can’t hear the truck running. I haven’t seen the Vredestein.

    New Tires for 2022 Ram 2500

    I have even thought about going back with the Firestones with the way they are wearing on the truck. 19,5xx miles and still have 9-10 32nds all the way across the tire. I do rotate them every 6k miles or so.

    New Tires for 2022 Ram 2500

    That’s a good price but we don’t have a CostCo around here so I’m not a member. We do have a Sams though and I’m pretty sure the price would be close. Thanks

    New Tires for 2022 Ram 2500

    I ran a set of Continentals years ago and they seemed hard. The truck I had them on would get crazy on wet pavement. That was in the early 2000’s so I’m sure they have improved. I read an earlier post talking about the braking test was done with locked brakes. Kinda hard to do that now since...

    I’m sure it would if it was loaded to the weight posted on the door placard too.

    New Tires for 2022 Ram 2500

    I have a 22’ Ram 2500 with the Cummins, 4x4 and looking for suggestions for replacement tires. It currently has the 275/70r-18’s on it. The Firestone HT’s it came with. They are holding up quite well but I rotate them about every 6k miles. My truck is a pavement queen and the only off roading it...

    Who is using ATF in your power steering system?

    I have an 08’Silverado with 170,000 miles running the original FF fluid with no issues. Did add a small amount of MotorKote oil additive to it when new. Has never leaked a drop of fluid.
