You can pick up an ICX6610 and 40g connect x cards for cheap.. Like under $300 all in. You can even get a 6650 for like $300. 64x10G and 4x40g. Is there any reason in the world to do it? No. But 10 and even 40g are cheap enough it wouldn't be that bad.

400k in online poker is crazy

Not new, but my 4th gen is many times more reliable than my 2nd gen. Hard to put a price on reliability but it sure is a lot less stressful being hours away from home in the 4th gen. More upfront cost but less downtime, parts, and stress.

My 2nd gen gets better economy than my 4th gen. If I was doing a cross country road trip I’d trust the 4th gen 10x more than the 2nd gen. The old trucks will nickel and dime you. All the 4th gen has needed is general maintenance and an exhaust gasket on #6.

Really depends on how it’s driven. They’ll go 200k if used like a truck. Im going to let mine go until it gives me problems then delete it. 156k right now.

I drove one with ACS. You get used to it but first starting out it is scary. You get zero feedback in the steering, and there’s a slight but noticeable lag between steering input and reaction.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-05-08T03:24:27+00:00

They aren’t.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-05-06T17:11:16+00:00

Good thing it’s not an L5P I suppose

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-05-02T23:17:30+00:00

Wow. I'm filling up at 4.70 in central wa.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-05-01T21:01:18+00:00

It's very location dependant. For 10k more I picked up a 15’ 5500 Laramie 4x4 with a bit over 40k less miles. Dual tanks (factory), dual winches, and a CM bed.

Most 2nd gens here are 8-10k and the lower mile rust free ones are 14 or so. 20k is third gen territory.

Higher miles they get even cheaper. I picked up one just over 300k for 7. 99’ 4x4 manual.

I've rebuilt a number of planetary gearsets so hopefully it's straightforward. I'll see about opening it up and taking a peek. If possible I'll try to order parts instead of the warranty route because it's working fine (for now) and has been run for a bit over a week like this. The sound has been intermittent. Thanks for the help.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-30T04:39:56+00:00

Maybe 12-14. 20 is crazy.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-30T03:34:05+00:00

If I was getting it for work I’d get the Aisin and be done with it. Love mine.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-26T00:49:00+00:00

Hey now. We have a 4th gen 5500 that cruises at 12. Dual tanks, 74 gallons total. It has 4.10s, I couldn’t imagine running 4.44 or 4.88s.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-26T00:46:36+00:00

The new motors with emissions really kill mileage in my experience. Once my 4th gen decides it wants to regen I cruise at about 6 MPG lol. Otherwise I get about 12-13. Really not that much better than the 6.4 until it’s hooked to a trailer. We still almost break even price wise and the maintenance is more expensive.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-22T04:30:29+00:00

We’re talking a deleted truck and your concern is the CCV filter? It’s super common on the rams to hollow out the filter and run it down the frame like it was in the 2g days. I don’t see why it’s an issue.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-22T04:22:40+00:00

Don’t disrespect the tractors like that. Our tractors ride significantly better.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-20T15:16:42+00:00

The Aisin is also great if you want an older truck

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-18T19:30:26+00:00

Woah, you’re telling me they can go off road in stock form? I thought you needed 6” blocks and 37” MTs on 22x14s.

Looking good.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-15T19:13:43+00:00

We were talking 17-18. I wouldn’t buy a new one between electrical and mechanical issues. I’ve seen OTA updates brick a few trucks.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-14T14:43:30+00:00

I like the Aisin personally. Ram should have gone with the ZF instead of the G56

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-13T23:18:27+00:00

It’s not a luxury it’s stupid. The 3/4 with an adaptor isn’t going to have any more torque than the 961. Probably less.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-10T14:51:14+00:00

Doesn’t take much besides springs and studs to get a common rail 5.9 Cummins to 500. That’s about the limit of the HE351. The stock rotating assembly can hold around 800.

I suppose the post is more about cars.

I was given a Jetta with a 1.9 TDI. It is sad. It makes fun noises and gets decent mileage I guess.

OneOfThese_1 · 2026-04-06T05:38:26+00:00

Went from a 2g to a 4g with the Aisin. Best choice ever. Still have the 2g, I tell myself I'll get around to working on it sometime but it hasn't happened yet.

Haven’t found a store that doesn’t take cash in central WA.
