I'm looking at upgrading next year from what I have currently. I'm hoping somebody has a little more info about the 6.4 liter 3500 mega cab.
I noticed it is derated to 370 HP @ 4600 rpm, torque is the same as a 2500 mega and 3500 crew.
My question is this why is it derated? Am I getting the same 6.4 engine as every other trim?
From what I can gather it was tested differently, horsepower at 4600 rpm instead of at 5600 rpm. Is it realy as simple as them getting the horsepower number at 4600rpm instead of 5600 rpm?
Also does gearing have any effect on horsepower? I was looking at getting 4.10's. I have 3.73's currently and I'm satisfied but im upgrading my trailer next year and in addition to the truck, I want to go up to limited trim and therefore I needed the specs of a 3500 for payload capacity.
Sorry for the long winded post, ive been lurking here for a year or so and decided to just join the fun! Thanks for reading!
