2014 Ram 3500 6.4L

[Trashy]

I know it's going to be hard on gas, being a 6.4 hemi. What about the rest........

good, bad, great, stay away, run, or consider buying it?

As long as u dont use it for towing

My dad has a 6.4 Hemi 2500 I think it's a 2016. He's not disappointed with the gas mileage on it at all even towing his 28 foot fifth wheel. His only complaint is compared to his 09 f150 the fuel tank is small.

I am a fan of the hemi motors. If you drive them good they’re pretty good on fuel. Nothing sounds better then a hemi motor with good exhaust. I know the 5.7 has lifter issues but the upgrade for that is the 6.4 lifters so you shouldn’t have to worry about that. And imo I think the lifter issue is from guys following the computer telling them to change the oil. It’s crazy to me that a 20k oil change is ok. Like said the small fuel tanks on those trucks is crazy. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one. I actually would buy one before a new diesel if I wasn’t pulling lots you’ll have less issues and cheaper maintenance.

6.4 has good power but thirsty. Rest of the truck is pretty meh, rough ride with the light gas motor up front instead of the Cummins, limited range with the small tank.

Ask Dustin H about his old work truck

I’m a Chrysler Master tech and Hemi’s are junk! I’m a GM guy because I grew up in a Ford family and was considerably tired of walking. Having said that, I’m seriously considering going back to Ford as they’re the only domestic gasoline V8 builder that doesn’t have camshaft and lifter problems. Just cam phaser problems… lol.

Phuk’n rattling Hemi’s. Sound like they’re gonna blow up when you fire them up when it’s minus 30. No block heater element in the coolant. Stupid!

 

[2kDoo]

Co worker has a power wagon and loves it, says the fuel aint bad on hwy unloaded when it does the fuel managemtnt thingy

 

[lilduke]

Where is the block heater then? None?

 

[lilduke]

Block heater? People actually use those lmao

 

[bendy]

There’s a bore drilled in the rear of the block. The cylindrical heater transfers heat to the steel block. It doesn’t heat the coolant.

Phuck ya. The old cummins fires up like a summer day when its plugged in.

That is stupid. Although……. That is a true “block” heater then.

Ok, with my hemi i dont bother. Even at -40

 

[SUMMIT TREE]

Ahhh yes. The only reason I used to plug in my gas truck was it seemed to warm up the cab a bit faster when you fired it up.

I just hit the remote start and let it warm up for 20min before i get in.

I dont do cold vehicles
