    2012 DPF Question....

    Recently picked up a 2012 Ram 2500 with a cummins 6.7. This is pre DEF, so my question is... How does the DPF regen or does it? As I understand the whole DEF system, its there to burn out all the soot, so without a DEF system what stops the DPF from plugging up? I would just delete it but thats...

    6.7L ..... Worth It?

    Thank you for the info. What I have been seeing on the used market is not that far apart in cost between the two. 2015 6.7 35-39K same in gas 33-37k After researching the possible turbo issues I think at least for me, the diesel is the best choice. Mainly because I dont use it as a daily driver...

    6.7L ..... Worth It?

    Like I mentioned in my op, I am getting 6-7mpg when towing on any grades/hills. When highway cruising pulling the 5th wheel I average 9. I was off on the weight of my 5th wheel. Our old bumper pull was 8k. Our 5th wheel (new last year) is 10,500 lbs. Grand Design 278BH

    I heard that if you delete the emissions your mileage goes up o 19-20. Not sure how true that is or if at some point the environmental folks might through ya in the slammer. I have no idea how strick that all is. But, honestly that was something I was considering if I went diesel.

    6.7L ..... Worth It?

    I use Royal Purple oil filter and Valvoline full synthetic 10w30 summer and 5w20 in the winter. I do all my own maintenance including changing out the diff oil and trans/filter every year.

    Thanks All, gonna look at the 6.4 gasser. I think the diesel just isn't worth it for as much as I tow. Thanks again for all the insight!

    6.7L ..... Worth It?

    Not many short trips. Everything around here is 30 minutes or more away. The current Crap show we all are forced to deal with has put a real damper on our trips. We had planned to go to South Carolina and Mount Rushmore. But with the dang gas so hi we decided to sit tight. Like I mentioned my...

    Thank you... the cost of maintenance is one thing that always steered me away. Plus, I know gas engines very well, diesel is another story. Thanks again for the replies.

    6.7L ..... Worth It?

    Well guys need some advise... I am finally looking at trading in my 2008 2500 HD with 5.7 hemi. I pull a 5th wheel half a dozen times a year. The rest of the time just a grocery getter... I am looking at a 2014 and a 2017 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins. Both trucks have about 130k miles. My truck...
