Tuned cummins plowing snow

[Skipper72Productions]

what is the point of having a 600 hp plow truck ur just gonna spin the tires

[MsTractorguy]

you would think that ud have some tires that arent bald

[SupauuMartyio176]

[yOURCHRIST]

Nice truck but why do you hear the plow more than the truck?

[ramdslpwr]

@yOURCHRIST The truck mostly was only idling in the video. Plus the parking lot is paved so the shoes are off the plow and the cutting edge is down against the concrete.

[UltramaficOne]

That was exciting.

[MrRagingbull83]

Quiet as a mouse im betting its stock

[MrAjb123ajb]

is that the plow rattling or the truck falling apart?

[21Roughneck]

Your truck is for a bitch kid.

[massecremodz]

anyways...its still a dodge...

[007garok]

ok so all these videos of cummins trucks w plows makes me n my 99 cummins dually auto w 3;55 gears and 4 " straight exhaust to dual 6" stacks w an EDGE juice w Attitude wonder what can I do to make more power without pullin motor out  n also spending like wayyyy to o much

[slimG2082]

@007garok Well I think you spent wayy to much and got a edge I have a 98 2500 4x4 5 speed with 3.55 with a smarty and a deoblo sport power puck stacked and 220 hp injectors anda SB clutch .running the stock turbo and 4 inch with 4inch stacks , I get 17 around town, 27 hyw empty and 14 pulling a 28 ft steel horse trailer and with the same tune on the bax its 401hp at the rear wheels

[outdoorsman310]

is that an auto because that sucks some power from the engine thats alotta torque

[MrKooky777]

my 16hp tractor could plow that shit

[mow4cash]

power is useless without traction

[Deepinher01]

@ramdslpwr

FYI when you add all the hp #'s up on the goodies you buy your total hp does not equal that.. oh and dyno's don't do crank HP, it's rear wheel horse power.. Don't even make up some bullshit and say you pulled the engine and put it on an engine dyno.. You'd be a complete dumbass if you did. BTW my cummins is makin 678hp/1392tq.. Single turbo's single cp3.. You prolly don't know what a cp3 is hahahaha

[ramdslpwr]

@Deepinher01 Post a video and I'll believe it. Your ignorance in stating that 530 RWHP is not near 600 at the crank and that somehow it takes "Stacked" tunes to equal 600 hp is so laughable its sad. Oh and yes I know what a CP3 is.... that would be "Complete Prick 3" and that would be you.... Still LMHO

[Deepinher01]

I'm gonna go ahead and say 600hp is not even close.. 1st off it takes a 64mm turbo and 40-50% over stock injectors and a stacked tune. 1 for duration and timing the other for rail pressure. That being said it looks and sounds like a stock truck with an exhaust and intake, possibly a towing tune. But son your way off on 600hp to the crank that would equal 540hp @ the wheels. If it's an 03-04 no way possible, 04.5-05 maybe.. But highly doubt it.

[ramdslpwr]

@Deepinher01 I'm so glad you got that off your chest. Must be wonderful to have all that knowledge stored away in that little pin head of yours. Also I admire your ability to tell at a glance what a truck's HP #s are without even being there at the dyno pull. It's especially incredible to have that gift when you don't even have a truck of your own. But then again by the looks of your channel comments, it's obvious that you've been enligtening others about their trucks.. Keep it up LMHO

[261reid]

@ramdslpwr arond 300. sounds more like a dakota you have never been arond 500 plus hp. when you rev it load free i see very little smoke and no boost to speak of you have no clue .my vp truck plows for real,makes525rwhp and gets 22 empty and 15 16 plowing and not in your week parkin lots im talkin steep grade and deep snow.and when you here it you know its every bit of 500 and 1000 plus ft lbs oftourqe dont make things up its lame like your week truck

[mikeh1725]

@Deepinher01 lol... yea

[mikeh1725]

@Deepinher01 lol where did you read that?

[ramdslpwr]

@mikeh1725 Check out his channel under comments.... lol

[95jyj]

1:37 i really don't think it's 600hp... not tryin to huh nag, not like i care either way!

[kobs7964]

thanks alot love your truck is that a sport eddition by chance?.

[ramdslpwr]

@kobs7964 Nope, SLT

[kobs7964]

did you have to trim any of the bumper to get the plow to fit?

[ramdslpwr]

@kobs7964 No. The plastic air dam under the bumper is tight against the top of the plow mount but it works fine and helps to hide the plow mount a bit

[yamahagytrracing21]

u need some new tires mate

[GETSOMEPERFORMANCE]

smokindodge is right smoke does not equal power but two things the chances of this dodge having the 600 he says he has is no and if he would have the power to this truck like he says he does than he has spent his time in the shop and on the dyno and with his motor to find out what his motor needs to perform for his needs with his power so by the looks of the snow plow this is his daily driver and he wouldent but the two together 600 and plow dosent weight out good

[123Mrhondaboy]

no adfence but ur pushing like 3 inchees of snow anything can do that

[unowhtidc4554]

don't you mean offense?

[oilfield666]

make you wonder why snowplow packages were never sold with diesel trucks....aside from cooking the tranny (lack of air to cooler) and diesel engine already sitting ontop a 2500 frame the axle itself is only capable of handling so much weight before you run into problems. hard on knuckles

[luvmyctd]

Of course you can get the Snowplow Prep pkg on a Dodge diesel. There was a short period years ago when u couldn't but the trucks are more capable today ... most components anyway. Axle u-joints and ball joints are still the weakest links ... a cooked tranny is usually the result of a poor operator and lack of maintanence. The frame and axle are the least of the worries on todays Dodge and the frontends are identical on the 2500 and 3500. You are right though, that Cummins is a heavy sob!

[oilfield666]

frint ends are identical except for the springs, huge difference in ride quality there. also load capability. a cooked tranny is the result of poor airflow to the coolers. todays dodge yes, but the frame under that truck is of a different generation of a brand new dodge (current day and time). all im saying if a few short years ago you COULD NOT get a snowplow package with a diesel equipped truck, their front axle and suspension couldnt handle the extra load reliably.

[luvmyctd]

The front springs are identical in the 3rd Gen Dodges ... check it out ... I own a 2006 & I have. My truck runs at the same temp whether there is a plow hanging off the front or not ... it is irrellevant. A 2nd Gen is nearly a decade old now ... the truck in this vid is a 3rd Gen so it has the cold formed frame ... much stronger than 2nd Gen Ram. Many changes since then. Still today, axle u-joints and ball joints require continual replacement but the tranny cooling is dialed and a non-factor.

[ramdslpwr]

Watch the dyno vid I just posted

[34celticpride]

yours is barley 700 so why cant his be 600??fucker

[videogameman12345678]

dogdes suck no dut about it

[yfz450lover]

loyd mills over at mid atlantic diesel make over 900hp and he plows snow with it

[jlipsky14]

thx..im in jersey so it would probably be pretty close to that.

[jlipsky14]

What do one of those plows go for?

what would be the best width for a Dodge ram 3500 dually?

[ramdslpwr]

A new setup goes for around $4-5 K. With a dually I'd get the 9' 6" model

[ramdslpwr]

That's including install etc. Might get better pricing but that's about what I priced in NY

[tinahiheels]

does not sound like 600 hp

[sideshow45]

doesnt have to be loud to be powerful.

[SmokinDodge]

agreed

[camaross6989]

You need to lift your plow when you push where you want to. You pack the snow higher and save room for more plowing. Its what professionals do

[tscholent]

@camaross6989

sorry but the guy is actually doing it right,,,most plows (2008 and later have "lift stops" installed to prevent the undercarriage from carrying the entire weight of the truck.According to most research , 80% of all damage to plow and truck are a result of snow "stacking".

[Wallabydam]

600 hp huh......

[turfguy87]

looks like wet snow (about 31 deg.) the day after a snow :-)

you need new tires

[marshallvalvestate]

idk about 600 hp, it would break the tires loose at 1:33 at little bit easier.

[curbApp1]

@marshallvalvestate 600hp would blow more smoke then that too

[SmokinDodge]

smoke does not equal power. A perfectly tuned diesel engine would not make any smoke, but that is hard to accomplish in the real world. There have been guys make 800+ HP without any smoke

[34celticpride]

ohh yeh yeh true,sry i wasnt really thinkin iv never herd of someone using those for plow,but thats a wicked good ideaa....

[34celticpride]

WTF HAPPEN TO THE PLOW LIGHT?

[ramdslpwr]

Who needs plow lights with 4 Daylighters over the cab? The truck lights show over the V plow and the overhead lights give all the light you need for night time plowing

[bradlee101]

HELL YEAH  its like x ray vision LOL

[Nikon89xj89]

prolly melt the snow with them

[limitup58]

Very nice plow truck Wish I had it. Thanks for the video!

[327muscle]

ya thats true and i am a oilfeild trash haha

[ramdslpwr]

:-)

[327muscle]

wow 15k in it and you could only pull 530hp at the wheels you must not of bought the right things you should be making at least 750 at the crank

[ramdslpwr]

Cheap HP = broken parts. Yeah you can do more then that with less money but you'll break stuff all the time. That truck has over 270,000 miles on it. It is a daily driver and tows regularly as well as plow. My goal was not just high HP but longevity as well. There's lots of oil field kids with tons of money that get a new truck every 3 years and proceed to tune it up till it breaks. Another thing is I run pure #2. Most guys over 500 HP are running NOS or Water Meth.

[ramdslpwr]

Over 6k in the tranny alone

[12vcumminsdiesel]

ur tires look pretty sucky

[nottheblacknight]

guys 600hp is by no means un heard of in a diesel haha you can find upwards of 800hp without looking to hard

[kkurt212]

cool truck, but the shoes on the plow r pretty pointless

[Trruckker]

sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on the HP until you post more proof...that would take alot of upgrades...to plow snow???

[ramdslpwr]

Dynoed at 530 rwhp. over $15K under the hood. No NOS, LP, or Water Meth. Just #2 diesel.

[SuperMuise]

ahh come on

i wanna see that truck push some BIG SNOW

like that 3-4 foot snow banks we get during the winter

[manitoulin001]

nice video i used to use my 96 GMC suburban 7.4L 454 for doing snow plowing it worked great... had more than enough power... never had any traction problems and would plow through anything!! changed over to using kubota tractors with blowers and blades on them because im either in a HUGE parking lots or small residential areas... (they hate having their driveways done with blades)

[chevyblazer8787]

least he has the right plow on the truck

[selfrespectclothing]

600 hp.....?

[CUMMINSTURBODIESEL23]

is that a 5.9 or a 6.7

[ramdslpwr]

6.7 wasn't till late 07

[CUMMINSTURBODIESEL23]

thats what i thought thanks

[CUMMINSTURBODIESEL23]

thats what i thought thanks oh and if you want you can check out my other channel DURAMAXDIESEL12 the channel site is on my channel well see ya

[dudechillinathome]

middle 07, may of june

[BoeingXtremes]

ur missing ur right front hub cap

[MattFromNorwood]

the center cap?

[BoeingXtremes]

Yeah that thing

[dudechillinathome]

Was it in 4x4, didn't look like it

[ramdslpwr]

Yes it was. The snow was very wet and heavy. You know how that stuff gets when it's driven over once or twice.

[dudechillinathome]

It isn't fun

[aaronjam99]

so, how does 600hp plow snow? you wouldnt know. how does the dodge in this clip plow snow? the same way a stupid little jeep plows snow.

[ramdslpwr]

Your missing the point. For one thing the RPMs never went above 1200. Thats barely over an idle. Something a jeep or any gas powered truck couldn't do. Also this was only a small snowfall. I needed a video for a project I had, showing advertisement stategy and this was all the snow we had at the time. This wasn't about super plowing so much as it was about a video project I needed.

[drummerdude6485]

cool video! thaks for posting! What size blade is that????

[ramdslpwr]

8'6"

[drummerdude6485]

cool!

[badboy81791]

looks like shit.... sounds like shit... so it must be shit ..o weait its crapplins it is shit

[dargancale27]

Not impressed...

[dudechillinathome]

your tires are blad, i hope you get new ones

[ramdslpwr]

Actually they were almost new. The vid makes them look bald. They are Cooper Discoverer ATR

[dudechillinathome]

Oh, well than they gve you duds, those are good tires and you slide around everywhere

[dudechillinathome]

my neighbour has them and he slips all the time so don't take it personally

[IRONSEAN7]

i was expecting to see a mountain move,, ive moved more snow with my 96 f350 gas

[dudechillinathome]

It would of is his tires weren't bald

[2500mike]

nice!!

[edw125238]

lol i wanna see a car get plowed outa the way

[jdiep78]

How did you measure hp and torque at the flywheel?

[ramdslpwr]

That was an estimate by the guys at Scheid diesel in IN. They did alot of the classified work on the truck.

[jdiep78]

Classified? There is no classified work to be done to get to 600 hp at the crank LOL!

[crazyjow89]

thats a quiet cummins

[nate379]

Where you plowing really slow just for the video or is that the normal speed you plow at?

[ramdslpwr]

Mainly for the video, altho the snow wasn't as deep as usual so I never really had to gun the truck. That's the beauty of a diesel, most of the time I barely run above idle. Even with 12" of snow. Now the yearly dumps of 24" or more are differant. I wanted to plow a big snow fall for video but this was the only snowfall we had while I had a secondary video guy around. Mabee I'll catch a big dump this year and video it.

[nate379]

10-4. I'm use to plowing with an old 79 1/2 ton Chevy so it's a bit different. When we'd get 2 or 3 feet in a storm it took a bit of momentum to keep pushing it to the bank.

[FordsSuck95]

I have a meyers for my Dodge andI really like it.

[thisismurph]

nice set up how is that boss v for dragging snow?? looking at the same set up but do alot of driveway??

[ramdslpwr]

The boss is lousy for dragging backwards. It makes up 4 it by the advantages going forward unless you need to do a lot of dragging. I love it.

[catman48827]

u ought to see how a powerstroke plows snow if u think this is cool this is amatuer snow removal if ur not rollin black smoke your not plowin

[iLive4MXYZ80]

hah until the ford breaks down... Duramax is the way to go. Last year we had 7 guys go out, and the only 3 trucks that made it back at the end of the day were the duramax's. The 2 powerjokes and 2 cummins all broke...

[darensmiles4]

A lot of break downs are due to drivers... regardless of make... For some reason I bet the trucks that were broke down were beat to death. Just look at some of the crap on youtube...

[ramdslpwr]

Well I reckon a ford would have been working to do that. My dodge was just playing. LOL

[tractor1123]

you need to get some stacks and strobes lights

on that thing but other then that the truck is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

were are you plowing? and for who?

[ramdslpwr]

Upstate NY. I'm plowing my company's parking lot. I don't plow for others besides my neigbors. Glad you like the truck. I'm thinking of stacks but I'd have to remove them every winter for the camper shell. I gotta keep my hunting gear covered during hunting season.

[Loyal2Ford]

600 hp is a lot louder than this. sounds like stock intake,exhaust,and turbo. Nice truck tho.

[BoeingXtremes]

it needs some all terrain tires on it those are bald of tread

[5maregdod]

it needs to be a louder truck...nice truck though

[5maregdod]

ok nevermind the video isnt very loud...i turned it up and the truck sounds awesome

[GoldSKy83]

Three minutes of snow plowing! I should've gotten a cup of coffee first!
