Just picked up my new truck after trading in my ram limited with only 15,000km. The interior in the ram was very nice but the overall ride and power train in the GMC I’d definitely more refined.

Which RAM did you have? I am still debating between RAM 2500 and GMC 2500.

 

I also have 2021 RAM 1500. I don't think I would choose any other half ton over my current one, but it is different when it comes to heavy duties. I think RAM is behind in HD with their 6 speed transmission and low payload.

Not a AT4 I know, but first thing I recommend in replacing the Rancho shocks. I went with Kryptonite stage 3 with Fox 2.0 shocks. Ride is still a 3/4 ton but 1000x's better then stock..and Toyo AT3 35x12.50R20 on the stock rims.

Mine has been great, no issues.  I also thought the ride was much better than the Ram.

I did test drove both, but I am afraid I could not make a final conclusion whether ride quality was better on one vs the other.
I asked both RAM and GM dealers if I can have a truck for longer test drive. GM said no right away, RAM didn’t respond yet.
One thing I noticed was it felt like RAM was louder. I know GM has 10 speed transmission vs 6 on RAM, but I don’t know if it is noticeable while driving or towing.
I also found that payload is around 3k on GM and ~2k on RAM.
I love interior of RAM, but it looks like GM is stronger and people say better drive.

I’ve had a 2016 ram 2500 and it was an ok drive but power train was ****** then I upgraded to a 2019 3500 limited with airbags and I wouldn’t recommend that to anyone. Ram has nice interiors and the Cummins is good but tranny is clunky and outdated

We need to start a club for former 2019 Ram 3500 Limited owners!  I just sold my '19 Ram 3500 Limited Diesel to a friend and bought a '21 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali Diesel.  Differences in engine performance and shifting are very noticeable to me.  As others have said, the Sierra w/the 10-speed is amazing!  As to the Ram interior - I initially liked the 12.1" touch screen display where almost everything was digital...right up until it completely quit.  FCA ended up replacing it twice.  So, no more Ram for me.

 

I know GM/GMC are going to offer a similar setup in the (possibly?) '22 or '23 models.  I highly recommend waiting until the bugs are worked out before pulling the trigger on those models if that's what peaks your interest.  FCA/Ram is having a heck of a time trying to solve the issues.

Curious question for the Canadian guys.  We get lots of 1 year old vehicles here for sale from Canada, live about 20 mins from the border.  And they are all with around 7-10k miles,  15ish and like 20-24ish.   I would imagine these are leases or something as I cant imagine trading trucks every year as it mean a huge loss all the time,  so always curious to the why.

I feel all of the big three are nice trucks and you really cant go wrong.  And ram always looked nice and had nice features for the price.  But always have felt they are always a lot of show and not as much substance.  Since 2014 I have had a GM half ton, a Ram half ton and two F150s and felt the ford was superior to the rest when it was all factored and felt like the ram was the cheapest of the bunch but looked the best.

If you tow and I do, then GM wins hands down on trailering features.  The camera system on these trucks is incredible.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
