2019 Ram 6.4 drivers
Am looking very hard at a 19 Ram 6.4 gasser. Those currently using one with the new 8 speed, any problems? Love it? Hate it? What are you feeling? The last of the leftovers are disappearing now, and...

Lots of diesel talk here... nothing about the OPs question. I'm curious as well. Had a friend that bought the 6.4 with the 6 speed and he didn't like it because of the gearing. It would drop into 4th pulling a grade, then slam into 2nd as speed dropped. For whatever reason, it would constantly skip 3rd when downshifting. Now, he only had the 3.73 gears because he couldn't find 4.10s anywhere nearby.
The 6.4 seems like a great powerhouse, it just needs the right trans to make it a very good vehicle. Hopefully the new 8 speed is the ticket, but we still await on topic answers.
The 68RFE in my truck will often go directly from 6th to 4th when pulling. It seems to hold 6th too long and then goes directly to 4th. I preempt it by shifting to 5th with the ERS and then it will make a nice civilized downshift to 4th when it needs to. The 8 speed ZF is a great transmission.
