There’s a whole lot more to this question of the 6.4 versus the Cummins. The maintenance between the two is not even comparable, it’s a lot more than just a naturally aspirated gas engine versus a turbo charged diesel engine. With a diesel you’re going to be dealing with fuel filters, DEF, A whole lot more oil, and when something does need to be fixed, you’re looking at big money. In terms of fuel mileage, there’s also the price of fuel to consider. Considering a $10,000 engine option, there’s a lot to consider there.

The 6.4l was built very heavy for work. It's ment to rev slower and tuned for low end torque. People that are getting horrible gas mileage out of it when towing a big load need to use less throttle. The torque is down low and is enough to to what you want, it's not a race when you're towing 15k lbs. Guys that look them on a consistent basis are getting 250k+ mil8 out of them. This 8sp and the completely forged motor are very solid. Edit- if you have 4.10 gears it will eat a little more gas.

So, while I just put my foot in my mouth with the column shifter failure, after knocking the dial one, it's just another disappointment from this company. One truck pops out of gear regularly. Two have had issues with fuelling, where you can only trickle fuel in to fill the tank, or the pump shuts off. Atleast with The older Dodges/Rams we had, they needed a new front end parts every second oil change. HVAC mode door gears stripped, so improper operation of the HVAC.

I seem the shifter as a dial or in the steering column. what is the option that people have , are new models only equipped with the dial shifter?
@lc79173 жыл бұрын
Ram gas engines come with the dial shifter. Diesels come with the column shifter

Ok so I’ve been driving it for a month and I hate it. Not the power house you would think. I haul 17000 lbs on a daily and it just isn’t there. Cylinder deactivation is a joke, can’t turn the radio down in reverse, can’t drive when door is open.the 8 speed is just always shifting, seams to hurt it when hauling. Under the hood it sounds loose already with only 23000 miles. Dash is cheap doors are cheap and I hate the seats. And the shifter knob I keep confusing for the ac knob.I would go for the cummins

Dude seriously if you're towning 17000 daily you should get a diesel.

The 6.7 Cummins has the better resale value. You WILL get more of your money back from it versus the 6.4 HEMI. And you’re going to get way more miles out of the 6.7 The resale value alone is worth buying. Buying something and having it instantly depreciate tremendously is something you will have to consider when getting the 6.4. You’re spending more money with the Cummins but you’re losing more money with the HEMI.

I am one of 3 diesel techs at my dealer. The Cummins itself has very very few failures. There is some after treatment issues but that’s across the board with diesels now. The 6.4 hemi is a gas guzzler and is gutless in comparison.

Just not a fan of ram... maybe these models are better, but any ram I've driven lately is just not fun to drive. The steering wheel is weird, the dial gear shift isn't appealing. The HVAC system isn't very comfortable...the biggest issue, atleast at work, the trucks break down a lot! Ignition issues-- several trucks, and multiple times with each truck. Column shifters failing--Even Ram's upgrade or modified part, failed. Transmissions popping out of gear while driving...fuel neck/fuel filling issues where it'll take a few liters, then it acts like it's full and it's only at a quarter. You have to trickle the next 50 plus liters in....multiple trucks....To each their own, I suppose. The Cummins engine is the only appealing thing, and it's not even Ram. Not trying to hate, these are just my feelings and experiences
