I did the exact same thing you did Michael. Ended up finding one almost exactly how I'd have built it in Tennessee, flew there and picked it up, new, and brought it home. 4 years later I'm, so happy I did.
Love these common rails with the g56/nv5600 (from the US) i guess o the 6.7L 's "KDP" is the grid heater (here in fl /southern U. S. Grid heater isnt really an issue) but it would be the absolute FIRST Thing i addressed had i gotten a CR Cummins.. great sounding/beautiful truck, best of luck
I had a 2018 as well. You are so right about the mirrors. The first one I test drove had the tow mirrors and when they were down the image represented in the mirror was awful when it came to judging space and distance. I wound up buying a Big Horn that had the Sport package and the sport mirrors. Also, prematurely wearing out those stock Firestone Transforce tires is actually a blessing! Those things were horrible for traction. My truck was so much better after I replaced them with some Cooper AT3's.
I was looking at a 08 Power Wagon, that was sold before I had a chance to do the paperwork on it (my trade in was my down payment) so they had a 12 Ram 2500 ST 4x4 with a 6.7 Cummins and G56 that I was happy to take!
Bought my 2014 laramie fully loaded cclb sunroof, cooled seats, rear air bags blacked out and deleted last year, never letting her go unless I find a newer g56 fully loaded white megacab
Thanks Marc. Stock suspension and stock tires 285/60r20 I could get 11.2 l/100km at 120km/h on the 401. That’s a 33.5 inch tall tire With a 295/65r20 which is 35.1 inches tall it went up to about 13l/100km for that same trip. Then with the 2.25 inch level I feel like it may have gotten worse but not by much. Stock tires and no level was pretty great for mileage.
It’s so quiet because it has all that garbage in the exhaust the sootcooker and catalytic converter I have had 2 4th gens both unloaded got 20+mpg without all that extra garbage and 0 smoke out the pipe with a really clean tune also that egr is gonna cost you that motor at 150k ish miles
Great video, not many out there of that type of truck north of the border. I got a 2015 with a g56 and love it but, the other comments are correct...it's a matter of time before that egr craps out on you!! Mine froze solid in -45 although it was plugged in, best thing that happened to me! Just ordered the same leveling kit, good choice and good video keep it up. 👌🏾
Nice unit 👍 hate to be bad news but you’re lucky you’ve not had emissions trouble already but it will be soon I promise. That’s why I bought a g56 06 3500. 130,000. 2 injectors that’s it. Good luck. Stay safe
I have the G56 on a 2017. Exhaust brake does nothing for the turbo actuator. My failed at 72,000. The clutch went at 86,000. I actually use my truck. It’s not a family car. You clearly don’t use the truck what it’s built for.
Bought my 2018 ram 3500 SRW G56 in oct 2018. Build was complete and shipped to me in March 2019. 4 inch BDS lift. Crew cab long bed. Badass

Congrats brother- beautiful truck. Fluid film (or similar) is your friend if you plan to keep 'er for the long haul.
MANNNN what a rare truck. !!! I hope you keep her around for a long time :)
2024 and I'm about do my 2014 exactly like this. Probably a performance air intake, aftermarket sunroof.

The stock firestones are good for hwy and that’s about it!

Thx for documentation of your experience.😃 I bought a 2018 RAM 3500 SRW 4x4 Tradesman G56 in August 2018. First new truck I ever bought!😃
Thanks, enjoy your truck too!

Good stuff!
Looking to buy a 2014 3500 DUALLY with 67k miles ! How has yours Ben treating ya?
Video officially does not suck. Would like to know what your mileage is like with stock emmissions controls.
Thanks Marc.
Stock suspension and stock tires 285/60r20 I could get 11.2 l/100km at 120km/h on the 401. That’s a 33.5 inch tall tire

Stock tires and no level was pretty great for mileage.
My advice, keep it. Don’t modify the engine, don’t put a lift in it, it looks great the way it is. Drive it for a million km’s .

I have all of the emissions on my 5500 without issue. They're meant to work hard.
Nice truck. I kick myself all the time for not buying one in 2018. Hard to find now
Thanks! I really enjoy it

Ram should be kicked in the balls for stopping production of the manual. Such a stupid idea.
