Ram Cummins/Aisin Failures

I don't really care, my Ram is working fine, poop on the naysayers. When I start seeing them sitting along the roadside, and not just on youtube channels, I still won't worry. Just not my way of living. :) You can do the worrying for both of us.

Wow, you'd think the hot shotters would be using something other than Ram/Cummins if they're falling apart all along the roadside, but I seem to see just as many as ever. Maybe it isn't as big a deal as the youtubers, desperate for clicks and views, would want us to believe. Just a thought.

They are... seeing less and less Ram's every year now. And you never would see a HD Ram Hemi and now I see them daily. Heck even Ram service trucks are now popular with the Hemi which is unimaginable.

I wonder if Ford got their 7.3 valve train parts from the same off shore place Cummins got theirs?

It looks like the mid 70's to the mid 80's all over again.
I just went out and gave my low HP LBZ a hug.

Hot shotters are the canary in the cage for us RV'ers. Thanks again man.

Don't know if the 7.3 got it's lifter issues resolved, but I don't think its that systemic as the cummins failures.

I don't recall lifter failures from the 70's and 80's.

I’d rather be fishin for bass or striper or something like that on a Sunday morning in Texas….
But I guess trolling for 12Vs is fun too! Lol

Ford people said the same thing when they bought the new the new and improved engine called the 6.oh back in 2003. They then said the same thing about the 6.4. Remember, the 6.oh was the best selling diesel engine back in the time by far. Does that make it a good engine?

It's all fun and games until it's your turn in the 80 grand barrel, then you would have wished you would have paid attention to the canary with his feet pointing up in the cage.
Some people never learn.

Here's another about the DPF's getting plugged on the Ram when not towing a lot. Quite the story and why the Hemi's are getting more popular year after year.

Got two minutes in, quit watching.
The link to the 22 page sticky came up after I looked at fish's second post.....
Still, this guy needs to get to the point sooner than later. I gave up on both at about 2 minutes.

My 02 on these video's.

Hey he's in your neck of the woods... He does like to ramble a bit and goes in circles, but his story is legit, just got to have some patience.
