    The truck is sold. When I checked it at 4200 miles it was below the "add oil" line which equated to 2 quarts low. I went to my local napa who has a good older parts guy and asked him what viscosity and filter, and bought the only full synthetic oil in that viscosity (I forget off the top of...

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    Minimum of 3 forums? Please name them. Buddy, I'm here because I think the Ram is a very attractive truck, and attractively priced. I've ruled out the hemi for the reasons discussed. I'm fairly certain I haven't mentioned the clicking steering wheel on this forum until now, that was an...

    This guy trolled me on the other ram forum I posted issues about with my ram. I don't have time for that nonsense

    Matter of fact Jerry I'll tell you what, next time you're paying for my truck, you can give all the input you like.

    Listen here boot licker, cry me a river. Just because your previous generation ram didn't do it means N O T H I N G. Got that? You need to get a life. Funny how you just do some minute research about cam/lifter failure and it's all over, in real life shops and people, and the internet. And...

    No. Just comparing two trucks? But I can tell you're a dick.

    Don't know why it would be any different, but I'm willing to bet it was not a crew cab long bed 4x4. Outside of that, different transmission. My boss's 07 ram is totally seamless MDS. Mine was enough that people who didn't know cars would comment "what's that?" When it would engage in my...

    MDS would first engage in my neighborhood everyday, going around 20 mph. At that speed I don't know what gear it is, but you're not in 8 until you're on the highway. MDS was annoying at all speeds. The only way to avoid it is as soon as you put it in drive, hit it multiple times until you...

    Dude...... MDS is the problem here. That's why I had to scroll through gears in the 8 speed. It turns off MDS and leaving it in 8 allows it to function as it should - with no cylinder deactivation. That, and the cam/lifter failure was the whole reason I sold the truck. Hence, why I'm...

    I don't understand. And on a side note, again, what's wrong with saying ..."'cummins option"?

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    Considering you had an entirely different transmission? Yes. Nobody was asking for input on how the MDS functions or how to turn it off. See if you owned the same year and model I did, you wouldn't be on here trying to explain anything to me about it. Because what I said is fact. You...

    Just trying to help? Ok. After reading why I sold a vehicle...."ya know all you had to do was (insert opinion with incorrect information)" "gee, ya sold an entire truck just because you had to hit some buttons? You won't like any new truck then." Comes across a lot more like "you don't know...

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    Let's be crystal clear here. There's a HUGE difference between needing to opt out of forced driving modes to do regular driving and engaging features that are tools for towing. That would be like me being mad I had to hit something to engage my high beams on dark roads. ENTIRELY different...

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    I cannot stand it when someone says "Ya know all you had to do was "xyz" right?". Especially if they didn't own the same model. It's incorrect information. Take it from me, the guy who owned it and drove it for 7 months. The dealership literally replaced the active noise dampeners because...

    I hit quote and responded. But yes, let's compare the functionality of this forum to a truck

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    If that was exactly your point, why wouldn't you say something like, the cummins also has that mode and feels the same, instead of try to educate me on what my truck does? Did you own a 19 or 20 hemi 2500?

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    The cummins version has cylinder deactivation that causes a jolt and vibration? And why are you using parentheses around cummins?

    Ram Cummins vs. New Ford 7.3 gasser

    Why are you trying to educate me on a truck I owned and you did not? Depending on speed, hitting the gear down or up button will put you into a gear selecting mode. Yes, this will disengage MDS. It also limits what top gear you can be in. So if I'm climbing a steep road in 3rd, and hit the...

    Wrong. Don't tell me about the truck I owned and you didn't.
