Back to rigs!

Cheeseballs, or anyone else for that matter that has a 6.4lL2500... I saw in that pic the retractable steps...in that factory, or was that an addon? Who makes them, because I want to check it out.

Amp Research steps. They aren't stock.

Nope, factory only has the regular steps (which i have). I like those fancy retractable steps though. :favorites13:

Haven't towed yet but I have a trip planned in a month where I'll be towing my 27 foot toy hauler weighing around 10k loaded. I'll definitely report on my towing experience after that! If you go 6.4 you really should get 4.10 gears.

scottie d · Aug 29, 2014

Would 4.10 be needed if only pulling every so often. What's the major difference on 3.73 and 4.10 for more daily driving and look forward to your review when pulling

What transmission and gears do you have in your 1500? If you have the 8 speed and you want closer to the same feel get the 4.10's. With 3.73s the 6.4 is a little slow off the line because it doesn't have that deep 1st gear like the 8 speed does. If you have a 6 speed though you won't notice as much difference.

I have 3.55 with 6 speed. I have the black express package 1500. Still torn between 6.4 and cummins. Our new travel trailer we are getting shortly will be almost maxing out the 1500 and I'm tired of the 8.5 I get now pulling. So I know it will be worse.

If you have the money for the Cummins buy it, but don't buy it expecting to save money. You are spending about $8000 more so you would have to pull that trailer all of the time to ever come close to making that money back. Without a doubt it will be more effortless to tow with. It all comes down to how often you tow. I would imagine that the mileage wouldn't be worse than your 1500 but I can't say for sure. There is a thread on here of a member towing a 10k 5th wheel with a 6.4 2500 and he was getting between 9 and 11 mpg's.

Thanks for the info. It's a toss up. I know cummins cost more but I don't want to be like darn wish I got cummins

I actually was like, oh darn I wish I'd gotten the 6.4 and saved all that money! Sold the Cummins which I owed money on and own the 6.4 free and clear! :roflsquared:

I want to join! I just picked up a 2014 Laramie Power Wagon and added Amp Steps and tint. They are a must have.

I get about 8-9 usually towing my Hideout 31BHS. You can clearly see my trips on the fuelly graph. It usually weighs in at 7800lbs. The 6.4 tows it just fine. I usually got about 10mpg with my old Duramax towing.

scottie d · Sep 4, 2014

Thanks for all the info. I get the same towing with my 5.7. U guys have pretty much talked me out of getting new truck. I'm sure my will like that. Lol

6.4l mpg 13.7

We just picked up a 2014 6.4L Laramie about a month ago and it is getting 13.7 mpg with about 1700 miles on the clock. It is a crew cab 4x4 with the 4.10 gears.

Do you get any rattle from your AMP steps? I swear when I'm on a rough road I hear the steps rattling... Maybe I'm just crazy...
