But i will like a 2nd opinion.sorry for all the numbers but i try to give as much info as i can. All numbers from the columbus brochure and the ram calalog,at least the 2014 version. Thanks.
If you would like, I would be happy to talk with about my experience towing with the 6.4 while my diesel was in the body shop. Towed the same trailers, on the same roads, with the same loads. P.M. me for my phone #.
Why not share your experiences with everyone?
For one, I don't type so well and it would get very long.
