I am waiting for the explanation of why all of a sudden 30k+ towing is a good thing!
The 10 speed is no doubt a good thing and will raise the bar for Ford and RAM. IMHO a 8 speed would be more than enough!!! Actually more than happy with my 6 speed AISIN.

I am actually waiting to hear the explanation as well. The excuse was the vast majority of buyers don't utilize that much capacity in a 3500 series pickup. Cant wait to see what has changed.

My argument still stands even in stock form. Yeah, the stock air box with the flap blocking the front intake can take in X amount of air, but how much harder does the turbo have to work to move that amount of air pulling from the fender versus from the front which it rarely does versus the GM truck. That is a major reason why the new L5P Dmax is able to outperform the Ram in most fuel economy tests since its release.
It is not about how much can be pulled, but rather how easy it can do it. With the Ram's active air having the front intake being closed 95% of the time, it has some room for improvement. There is a reason why some intakes improves efficiency in some diesels, because they don't make the turbo work as hard to move the same amount of air.
I get that you don't like owning something that is not the best, but there is much to improve with the Ram active air box especially in regards to when it pulls air from the from. It is not anywhere near to 100% of the time like GM's system.

Not really, it is closed more often then it is open unless you tune it to stay open.
I am sure it get's all the air it needs in the alt position also.
