Today's video is part 1 of 2 featuring questions and answers generated from my previous videos on my special order build RAM 3500 dually with the high output Cummins 6.7L and 4.10 axle ratio. If you didn't catch the build video I did previously, be sure to watch that first as it gives context:
   • Avoid My Mistakes! Buyer's Guide for ...  

And, also check out the Air Suspension/Payload (squat) video:
   • How Much Does a RAM 3500 Dually Squat...  

I've gotten a lot of questions since those two previous videos, so my goal is to follow-up and answer the most common questions, but also correct some misconceptions and points that have been made previously by viewers in the comments, some of which I disagree with.

1) What kind of MPG do you get on the RAM 3500 both while empty vs towing, and also highway driving?
2) What is the difference between Uconnect 8.4 and 12 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
3) Why did you put Nexen tires on your RAM 3500?
4) Does the Air Suspension make your ride smoother? How is it different from the regular suspension with leaf packs?
5) Is the Aisin AS66RC heavy duty transmission unbearable or too rough? Does it have bad manners as a daily driver?

Buying a truck is very expensive, and you don't want to waste your hard-earned money. So my hope is these tips will save you money if you're looking to buy or order a new truck, or even purchase a secondhand model year. Yet, in the end it is all just my own personal opinions based on my experiences. Certainly let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments below.

Stay tuned for next week's video where I'll revisit the truck recommendations I made previously and double-down on my recommendation to avoid one very popular truck class and engine combination.
