So I've been flirting with the idea of buying a new truck to replace my 99 F350. After realizing Ford is out of their damn minds with their pricing I decided to look at Cummins. Wow you get a lot more truck for your money going with Ram. I'm pretty sure I am going to go with a 2016 Tradesman in a CCSB 4X4.
So hopefully yall can answer some questions I have.
I just recently was told about the Aisin transmission. I was told you can only get it in a 3500 but through my research it appears it doesn't come standard in the 3500? I've read good and bad reviews on both the Aisin and the 68rfe. One fear I have of the Aisin is the inability to tune or rebuild the trans.
Depending in which truck I get the tires will be 33s on 18s or 30s on 17s. Has anyone upgraded to a 33x12.50 on a 20x12 and if so was there a drastic reduction in fuel economy. I've been extremely impressed by what I've seen guys claiming on stock trucks. Another reason, other than price, that drew me to the Ram cummins. I'm realistic and do not expect Eco diesel MPG.
I've had 12v's, 24v's, and a
CR. Once I sold my 05 Ram dually I quit paying attention and researching Cummins so I'm full of 6.7 newbie questions. I'll be putting my wife in this new truck and I'm going to a 12v. I appreciate the help.
