- Shopping for 6.4 w/4.10
Hey folks. I've never owned a Ram before. Getting very close to pulling the trigger on a 2500 Mega Cab 4X4, either Hemi with 6.4 & 4.10 or the Cummins. Most likely the Hemi.
My last truck was an 03 Chevy 1500HD. I never had issues with it on slick boat ramps or muddy shores trying to pull my boat out (20 ft Bass Boat). It was 4x4 with limited slip and auto locking rear. I also took a few trips a year to the beach and never got stuck in fluffy sand either. Our favorite fishing spot is about 20 miles down the texas beach. I got nervous on several occasions, but it always pulled through.
So my question is have any of you used your trucks in similar situations? How did it perform? Anyone disappointed? All the guys I know have Ford F250s or Chevy 2500s, so I don't have much for comparison. I planned on getting the Anti-Slip diff.
I test drove a 2500 with the Cummins last weekend and came very close to buying, The power is amazing. I only work a few miles from home and the TT we are looking at getting is a bumper pull and only around 8K loaded. I'm thinking the Hemi will be better for me, and I can get that lifetime warranty.
Oh by the way, I did try searching for info like this but haven't been successful so far. Trust me, I'm in research overload. I've also almost completed the monster "6.4 HD Hemi Thread". Geez!
Any and all comments appreciated!
Thanks!
Tony
