The only axel ratio I saw listed on the build sheet was the 4:10
On page 104 in the Crew Cab 3500 it says 3.42 ratio for the diesel:
For $145 extra, you can get the 4.10 ratio.

I was looking at the 2500 and did not go past page 75
3.42 makes sense with the Powerlines very low first and second gear.

On the 2500, in fine print, it says N/A w/ETM Diesel option. The guide is complicated for me.
Yeah, no clue. Why would it show it, but then say N/A. Unless N/A means something different.
I'm waiting for the the official online build system to show up on RAM's website, as well as literature.
I really don't like how backwards and difficult RAM is making this for their customers and dealers. How can they offer a build sheet, but no corresponding documentation?
I can't believe someone would plunk down lots of money on an "unknown" vehicle.
Could you imagine someone plunking down $90k on a truck, thinking they were going to get an 8 speed ZF Cummins, and wind up getting what we already got now? Man I'd be roaring mad.... (Mark Dodge is even saying: Right now, the code is what we've got. There have not been any other releases of training materials, pictures, explanations, etc. If you're ordering anything before physically seeing it - you're taking some educated risks. There are going to be some things that we just won't know until they show up, and that can be fun. But don't make assumptions - if you're curious about a specific feature that was in a specific package in years past, it may have moved!)
Maybe I'm old school, and want to test drive a lot of them before making up my mind. Maybe that makes me weird or something. I guess I'm getting old.
Agreed, we still don't know anything. I think some surprise's are in the works. Why would Cummins make such big changes on the 6.7 if they are working on a 7.2? I wonder if all the changes mentioned, is in fact, the 7.2?
Cummins did away with the L9 and X12, in favor of one engine, the new X10. Is something like that on the way for the 6.7, the 7.2?
I know some have said the 7.2 is on the way but not for Ram. How do they know this? Cummins and Ram have us in the dark, big time.
Don’t forget lots of transmission gears along with axle gearing had a lot to do with that. Back when drivers were more than steering wheel holders. Also passing them in a station wagon like they were standing still on the hills belching black smoke were pretty much the norm.I remember a time when a tractor trailer that had 400 HP was the top dog on the road.. but then again, what do I know..

With the higher prices on these trucks, emissions systems, hydraulic roller lifters and now glow plugs if true makes me want to stay with the old school stuff. I like to do my own work as much as I can and with all the new gadgets and gizmos these days it's getting to where you need an expensive scan tool or pay up for the dealer if something goes sideways.
Is there not any 25’s hitting the dealers yet?
Ram tends to be one of the last to release new model years. You can order now from what I understand just don’t expect to see it for a couple months.Is there not any 25’s hitting the dealers yet?
