No, only you and that will be remedied sometime this weekend after BombDoc and I persuade you to do things a little different and you recover from the interview/interrogation/persuasion technique BD is famous for. Tell Kenny to call 'Visiting Angels' for standby duty.

Sweet! No fear of touching the cap on a sharp turn with that setup.

You have the same year and model Ram we have - do you have the Cummins 6.7L Diesel engine in it?
One thing I noticed about yours and mine also is why the Diesel equipped 2500's do not have factory installed dual exhausts. My dealer said there are dual headers, but they both feed into one exhaust pipe.
All the 1500's I see do have dual exhausts.

I may be opening up a small can of worms here but here is my official answer. Yes I do have the 6.7L Diesel and I love it. Because it is an inline engine there is only one exhaust manifold. I'm not sure what benefit splitting the exhaust into two outlets would get anyone although there are forums out there where people have done it. If it was a V type diesel engine, you would have two exhaust manifolds and it you can treat it just like a gas engine. I have heard of guys opening their exhaust up "too much" and losing low end torque because of the loss of back pressure. Now I'm no expert on that but just repeating what some guys have told me. Plus, a stock 2500 with a 6.7 will pull just about anything out there. I love passing the Fords and Chevys while I've got 12K behind me:-)

I should have thought about what I was going to say before I said it. You are correct about the engine being an inline six - therefore only one exhaust manifold. I asked my dealer why there were not duals on it before we brought it and I guess I had a brain fart that I never recovered from.
We love it too.

2011 dodge powerwagon. Pulls well but too bad they came out with the diesel in 2012. Would have much rather had a cummins versus a hemi.

We love our new rig, but Any recommendations for hitch and tow mirrors? We are worried about towing with our Ram 1500 so we are considering using our more powerful daily driver.

Doesn't the exhaust come out right over the hitch? I guess all you'll have to do is let it cool down before you unhook the trailer...

I think he'll have to reinforce the roof for the 5er hitch.

Also consider that most diesel V's are single exhaust due to the turbo. Except for the mods with twins, it doesn't make any sense to split the exhaust after the turbo, other than for performance reasons.
