You must be referring to someone else? It’s 2022 now, almost 2023 and I don’t recall posting anything promising for a couple years now.
Or did you mean “hoping” for, not promising?
I've actually been hoping you were right.FishOnOne wrote:
All new tow mirrors... Oh well maybe next year.

Sofaking lame!!
So Ram just pooped out power extendable mirrors, ala mid 2000s Ford and GM features?
And some more cameras to make those mirrors have the ability to total a truck on cost to replace if both of them got damaged at the same time?
But hey at least the 4th gen chassis is going into its 11th year of production with the body style going on 14 years….might beat Frod for longest running truck model without a redesign…lol.
I’ll assume still no competitive transmission in the big C trucks, but at least Goodyear has pawned off more of those craptacular Duratracs on yet another OE offering….
(They are very durable and great traction. Live up to the name 100%. But they should be called the Duraloudresonatingtrac tires!)Bionic Man wrote:

Pour little me, I sit here driving a FORD F150 with a tiny little 2.7L twin turbo V6 with a smile on my face. Who would have guessed, after a 1993 RAM/Cummins, a 2001.5 RAM/Cummins and a 2015 RAM/Cummins spanning 27 years. And 19 years with twin Cummins in the last boat. :) :)
Hey Chris, I'm not feeling bad for you!! My hunting buddy has the same truck as yours, and it is a great truck! That puny little 2.7 can kick some V8 a$$, for sure!:C
Jerry- You know that if you damage those mirrors, it will be $1,000 to $1,500 to replace (or more).

I leave my 15 mirrors UP (ANTLERS) because the spot mirrors work best in that position. My 01 I have towing mirrors and the spots work the same up or down so I run down unless towing.
Personally I really like my 15 mirrors.

Don’t know why Ford owners make a big deal of mirrors, when their diesel still uses the Bosch 4.2 Pump.
Gotta have sumptin to brag aboot I spoze. ;)Cummins12V98 wrote:

So why would a Ford guy care about a Cummins gas engine in a RAM truck I can't imagine he would ever buy?
Because I'm interested how Cummins performs with gasoline and assuming it will be turbo charged. We know the EB burns fuel like crazy when towing and wouldn't handle HD work and it's probably safe to say Stelantis' new 3.0 Turbo gas engine will perform the same which would be unacceptable in a HD application. We also know a hybrid would probably be unacceptable in a HD application as well.
So what's next? Cummins turbo charged gas engine?
Why would a turbo charged 6.7 burn less fuel than a 3.0 or 3.5? I’m pretty sure that is exactly why we haven’t seen Ford do it in a 5.0.
I don’t think that turbo charging gassers is the answer to the needs of a HD engine.
Speculation has the 6.7 gas will have a turbo since Cummins says it will have diesel like performance. Also just looked it up and Cummins will release this engine in 2024 so it will be a while. Probably just in time for the Hemi's demise.
Speculation huh? So just like when you were sure a few years ago the new Powerstroke would have 500 HP? Or when the lady at the Cummins factory whispered in a members ear about a brand new emissions system that was eminent? Or a new 8/10 speed that someone else knew was being tested and sure to be launched?
How much have each of them been worth?
Well my prediction was spot on! :C
The Ram cummins has just been put on notice! :W
