The 7.2 is and has always been designed for light commercial use and only commercial use. I also read in the NTEA work truck, that it expands versatile medium-duty trucks only. I feel it could possibly find its way into the pick-up market around 2029-2030 after they run it in commercial duty...

Took my 2025 3500 in for the second time changing fuel Filters. Once at 10K miles and second set at 18K miles. Each time the truck would crank much longer until all air was removed, this time the engine light went off [ code was low fuel pressure] The dealer was really good about taking the...

It's about Long-term durability and integrity. I believe it also had to do with lifter issues because of block flexibility. CGi is not stronger than cast-iron it is only stronger by weight.

Wow, I stand corrected. I don't understand why he refers to it as a 6th Gen when Gen has to do with cab configuration. I think people keep referring to it as a 6th gen due to the motor re-design.

I thought the block was made at their MidRange engine plant in Columbus also assembled at the same facility.

My 2025 3500 Longhorn Mega Cab, 18K miles issue free. I have towed about 9K miles and apsalutly love the new motor married to the 8 speed.

I have no problem with the HP / Torque the present Ram has compared to the Ford. These trucks manufactures need to worry more about reliability and dependability than having the most power. Ford HD trucks have more Recalls than any other HD truck on the market. The more HP / Torque you add to...

This has been discussed throughout the forms. All car manufactures use automatic fuse insertion and assembly machines. These are fully automated systems that assemble fuses and relays within the same box. This has been an issue from when the auto industry switched from human interaction to...

I don't think they will increase the Cab and Chassis with any more HP or Torque. They do have a much superior towing and hauling capability rather than acceleration. They feature a much more robust beefer frames, stronger brakes and commercial axles. The Cab and Chassie have a much higher...

When it comes to the 5500 the 2025 will have the same as the 2020 if I'm not speaking out of line, with 360 hp and 800 ib ft. all 4500 and 5500 are always de-tuned for longevity reasons. My apologies I didn't read the post fully seeing that you are looking for a 5500. In 2027 I heard that Ram...

Until you drive the new Ram HD, you have no idea the difference it has compared to any other Ram out there. The new motor married to the 8 speed is such a game changer, you won't be disappointed at all. Life is all about taking chances, you could just as easy have something unexpected happen to...

Disagree, when as you say dealers cut cost to make more of a profit. Why would a manufacture cut cost when it will lead to higher rates of issues, costing them in more warranty cost and such as those reported to JD Power. I feel manufactures make cost -saving as adopting lightweight materials or...

Am I missing something? my understanding is that the 7.2 is only for Medium-Duty commercial vehicles like busses, vocational trucks and not for the consumer pick-ups.

Outside ambient air temperature sensor.

I must ask, what are you doing to cause such disaster to transmissions? I have heard 0 issues with the new ZF. If you had such a bad experience with your last truck, why did you stay with the same manufacture and not try another?
