Likely to be a part of your problem there. Some have had good luck with that option, but they can be problematic to say the least.

ECM swap tune, or the “factory” ECM option that’s been floating around?

Lucky guy. My 2022 laughs at 35-50mph, and rewards me with another 30% on the DPFrg% lol

American Racing makes headers for just about anything worth putting headers on. Long tubes even. https://americanracingheaders.com/collections/dodge-ram-2500/products/dodge-ram-2500-5-7l-6-4l-truck-2015-up-long-system?variant=29943899204

The last thing my local PD needs is an 8,000 pound land missile.

My 2022 made it appx 70k miles without the DPF gauge ever lifting off zero. One day, without warning, it decided to begin regens every 8-12 hours. Nobody can seem to figure it out, and they just wanna throw a DPF at it. I’m leaning moreso towards throwing a DPF off of it.

I wouldn’t trade it in. I’d just laugh at the warranty and tell them that doesn’t work for me. Cracked manifold sounds like a great time for some headers to me! Paid off pickups don’t need a warranty, they need fun parts.

More warranty? So you can deal with their crap even longer? I’d pass lol

I’m gonna level with you, I had no idea people actually ordered truck parts off alibaba. It all looks good!

You’re getting a wonderful glimpse into the world of dealer incompetence. Remember, they wanted to charge 5 grand for that level of service, too.

It’s ideal for it to behave as such.

I would be fine and dandy to run T/H all of the time if the downshifts didn’t get so aggressive. The up shift schedule is great, exactly what I’m looking for.

A gooseneck is the superior towing option if you have the ability to get into one. I’d rather buy a used gooseneck than a brand new bumper pull, especially if you’re going to be pulling anything remotely heavy. It’s a better towing experience all around. If you don’t need to keep the bed open...

Troll is a fairly generous moniker, even.

There is a fairly significant chasm that exists between “hot rod” and “command an upshift at 1300rpm while traveling uphill”. I’m more than happy to live somewhere in there.
