2011 Ram HD 3500 DRW Cummins 68RFE 523k miles!

Awesome! There were 2 articles in Diesel Power magazine a few years ago about a 2001 Ram 3500 dually Cummins/6 speed that was a hot shotter truck; in the second article it was at 1.4M miles with no major repairs.... :C

You never get you RAM hate quite right! Ron's/his son's truck is a early 1998 12V, your video is about 98.5 -2002 24V trucks. The guy must have never done any maintenance to his P O S truck.

I am surprised that my 2001.5 did not look the same if they are such bad trucks! No paint issues, no rust, no dash problems. Maybe this was your cousin's, wife's hair dressers truck?

How about a video about the great 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes? Or the 4R100 behind the 7.3 https://www.google.com/search?q=4R100+behind+the+7.3+powerstroke+issues&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS558US559&oq=4R100+behind+the+7.3+powerstroke+issues&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.17767j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Engine, turbocharger, and transmission have 523K on them without any major repairs? Impressive. I wonder if the injectors are stock as well although he said the engine has not been cracked so I am assuming so. Even more impressive are the original rear brakes especially when being used a hot shot truck.

Many Ram/Cummins have amassed more than one million miles without the engine taken apart. It is a great engine. The rest of the truck often requires typical high mileage repairs and replacement parts.

At least 420k on this, my Son now has it. Truck is rust free and in great shape!

FISH, this is a 98 12V and runs around DFW, TX all the time.

Yeah OK...

Almost 5000 miles a month, every month, since March 2009. More than I’d want to drive.

Brakes? It’s all about using Tow Haul and Exhaust Brake.

I loved my 11 HO DRW.
