Looking at a new Ram, crew cab, 4x4, short box...For those of you (if any) who are using the 6.4L Hemi in a Ram 3500, how does the truck/engine respond? Transmission (66RFE auto) issues? I am looking at the above vehicle or the 3500 with CTD (68RFE or Aisin) or a Ram 2500 with the 6.4L. Both trucks/enginge combos offer hefty payloads. Coil rear springs on the 2500? The 3500 Hemi/CTD offers a ~4000# payload and the 2500 Hemi is ~3000#. Perhaps an over kill, but my Hawk weighs ~2000# plus, total with gear, water, gas, etc., etc. and it stays on my truck 24/7, I will not be towing. I am one of those road wanders who does not want to be on the "payload borderline", which I would be with a 2500 CTD (~2300# payload). I know the 2500/3500 are basically identical, except for the suspension rating. MPG (gas) perhaps near the same?
Thank you in advance for your comments, suggestions...
