My comment stands as this is a thread about the 6.4 engine and so was/is the TCM magazine article. The specific issue is cylinder deactivation. The diesels (that you have) do not utilize cylinder deactivation under light loads. With the 6.4 and 4.10 axles the cylinder deactivation can occur more often than with the 3.73 axles under a load tending to lessen any gas mileage difference between the two axles.
JMTANDEM is correct. This thread is about RAM 6.4 HEMI gas/3500 dually trucks not diesels or other brands. I would like to see comments from owners or others that have driven these particular trucks. Even though I consider myself a GM guy I am interested in the RAM 6.4 gas dually.
