Rams new 6.4 HEMI
Anyone own a HD Ram truck with the new 6.4 Hemi? Looking for some real world experience with the new Hemi. Can't seem to find one on dealer lots. Thanks

Don't you own a diesel? Around here, diesel is more than premium unleaded. What is the price difference where you live?
Diesel was less money when we ordered our truck but more when it arrived. I thought that sucked.
chevman- Hmm nothing in my owners manual states premium fuel for towing.. Never used it in the truck and don't need to.
- Just like Ford and GM, Chrysler recommends premuim fuel if towing. I would think the 6.4 will be the same. Recommend and require are totally different things!
Don - Just to answer a question about the GM 6.0 needing premium fuel; it does not, 87 is fine for the GM 6.0. I thought that the ecoboost took premium but I could be wrong since I don't own one. According to the link on page one that was posted... It does state the hemi requires premium fuel???? Take a look

RamTC, I'm not sure, just building it identical to mine was 7700 MSRP difference when built on the Ram WS.
If you get an automatic transmission with the diesel, that's another $500 on top of the $7995 diesel option. The 6.4L hemi is a $1495 option over the 5.7 hemi.
And if you opt for the Aisin trans that's $2500 on top of the Diesel option price. So the Cummins w/ Aisin is a $10,000 option.dpatt67 wrote:

They don't require premium. A local dealer to me has several on the lot now. If I had known these engines were coming when I got my '13 diesel I may have gotten one, as I only tow about 8500 max. Same truck as mine, but with the 6.4 spec'd out on Ram's website would have been almost $8000 less and been a '14.
Explain the $8000? I'm seeing $6500 over the Gas 6.4 for the CTD.
