I'd try it out first; the Cummins has a lot of low end torque. My truck has 3.73 gears as well and it pulls our 16k high profile fiver with ease.

2015, stick my hand in the door handle to unlock, push the start button and enjoy the luxury. Some flashes a year ago improved the Aisin while towing and fixed the gear hunting.

Warranty??? More important, what is your experience at finding a good shop to fix any problems with the mods when you are a 1,000 miles from home? Are shops comfortable working on deleted and modded trucks? Easy to find? Common knowledge among mechanics? We are a RV forum, so this is a great consideration for travelers. If I cannot get it fixed, forget it.

I too am interested in seeing what's available for RAM... seeing that you are now advocating for mods. Some of the Ford mods you listed, with the "straight pipe" mod, have "downpipe back" and "turbo back", aren't those "deleting" particulate filters etc...? Black smoke... more NOx...
I was never against mods or deleting. I was just against people making false claims like saying their deleted truck is clean just because it does not spew black smoke after deleting. That is false since you cannot see the NOx and fine PM coming of the tailpipe. If you delete you will pollute more than stock, there is no way around that.
If you live in an area where PM and Nox is a major issue due to geographical and hot weather exacerbating the smog issue like southern California then it is probably not a good idea to delete. However of you live in an area to where that NOx has a chance to dissipate into the stratosphere(where NOx is a good thing) then it might not be that big of an issue.
Is it not illegal to remove a muffle on a vehicle with over 10K GVWR?

Reason I ask people to block me is because by me making a simple comment they get all twisted so it would be easier if THEY blocked me so THEY would not get so upset. I have said many times I will NOT block anyone, I just go to the next post or topic simple as that.

"Shiner", we certainly don't always see eye-to-eye, but I was interested to see what you were going to post regarding mods and the Cummins.
And to "Cummins", you've requested multiple people to "block you" recently. You do know that feature works both ways, right? If you don't like what "Shiner", me or anyone else says, you can block them just as easily.
