I see the Ram recommends premium gasoline. It won't take regular?
Where? Every bit of information I have seen on the Dodge website indicates the use of regular unleaded gas. And don't bother posting a link to some dealer's ad, as that is not a valid source in my opinion. I've seen dealers say a truck is both gas and diesel at the same time. So unless you can link the manufacturer's authored and approved information, it's all just hearsay.
Looking at Ram Dealer's inventory list and when I pull up the specifications I see:
OWERTRAIN
Mode select transmission
Horsepower: 410hp @ 5,600RPM
Cylinder deactivation
Recommended fuel: premium unleaded
Which part of "unless you can link the manufacturer's authored and approved information, it's all just hearsay" didn't you understand? Direct from page 568 (570 of 790) of the 2014 Ram 2500/3500 Owners manual:
"3.6L/6.4L Engine
These engines are designed to meet all emission regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded "regular" gasoline having an octane rating of 87. The use of premium gasoline is not recommended, as it will not provide any benefit over regular gasoline in these engines."
Can we put this non-issue to rest now?
