I hear you on the cab size thing too for a growing family. It was one of the driving factors for me moving to Ford from Ram. That and a lot of the build quality reliability issues you called out that seem to plague the '22s.

This is good thing and means your driving habits are conducive to a healthy DPF and that your truck is running as it should.

I would recommend against idling as you have outlined above. Cummins recommends in the manual to have 16% or less idle time - so about 10 mins per hours. Unless your commute is really long id avoid this.

How much are you willing to spend?

I think I was the one that called this out and after owning the Ford for 2 months I can say im really happy with the choice. Being able to put car seats behind either seat, in comfortable positions, without the kids kicking anything rocks. Road trips are easier and more comfortable now and my...

Ive found it pretty helpful when I want to understand the general process for something or need a quick answer for something like a torque spec.

Ive had good success using ChatGPT for these types of inquiries in the past - YMMV

Im not sure how urgently you need to get a new truck but worth noting if you get a 2025 there is no SO/HO - all powertrains are the same. If you go 2024 and older, then id make sure youre getting a HO

Heart wants what it wants so I cant talk you out of that but IMO you can get more from youre money throwing the Carli book at a Ram (or Ford - and if you go Tremor, get a rear locker). All that said there is no way id order a Ram without the air setup today. It was my single largest regret...

Why are you dead set on PXL conversion? Not trying to steer you away from Ram if thats what you want but curious what has you dead set on PXL.

You’re 100% correct.

Unless they changed something with the 2025 Cummins yes, easily. It happens in 2 ways: 1 - automatically goes into high idle in cold weather conditions when it thinks its necessary. On my '22 it usually went into high idle on cold start and it was under 32* or if it was sitting and idling for a...

I read this as well but wasnt sure if it was for the 6.7 in the Ram or the commercial 6.7s used in other applications. IIRC there is not a 7th injector on this system but hopefully this new setup if superior to the 22+ setups that seem to be wrought with issues. I will say the 9th injector...

If youre open to the aftermarket mods route Carli makes springs for the rear built to handle higher capacity loads (R2 rear springs)- pair that with airbags and I dont think you will have any sway issues. Idk that there is anything special going on with Power Wagons right now but he was...
