Am at a cross roads trying to decide if I want a diesel or 6.4 with gas. The added maintenance with the cummins and dealing with DEF has me having second thought. Looked at a diesel yesterday, then talked to the maintenance department on service costs. $400 a pop just to service the fuel filters at 15,000 miles so basically every oil change at 15,000 miles. Wow. Thinking 1 ton 6.4 with 8 speed. Has a 50 gal gas tank. I pull a 10,000 lb 5th wheel with my 2017 Ram 2500 CC with 6.4 and 6 speed. Climbing hills going from minnesota to colorado sucked. 4th gear allot of time and some 3rd gear and high RPM's. Will the 8 speed do better? Reading allot of posts on diesel mileage pulling and seems about the same a gas except they can climb hills allot better. If you have a 6.4 and 8 speed pulling 10,000 in hills, please chime in. Can save $10,000 by going gas. Plus can get $3000 more than I paid for my current truck. Thanks.
