Rumor is there is a new 6.7L I6 Cummins gas motor coming to the Ram. I guess Cummins is designing a motor that will be the same from the block down between the gas and the diesel with differences from the heads up.
I’m not sure how that will work out, but it sounds interesting.
I have a lifetime power train warranty. It just paid for my transmission rebuild. I’m waiting for the motor to need an overhaul now. But it has 135k on it and is still going strong.
I wish there was a way to turn off the MDS n my 6.4L without voiding my warranty. And I have to agree with the OP. The tranny is lacking even in the gas models. I haven’t tried the new 8 speed, but the 6 speed leaves a lot to be desired.
I’ve run either PUP or Amsoil Signature Synthetic since new. I did have an issue with stuck lifters at 44k miles, but nothing else. It is now at 133k. I do not feel it is worth the risk to save $30-40 on an oil change that might cost me an engine.
I traded in a 5.7 Hemi for my 6.4. I also had...
I pulled my travel trailer about 750 miles this weekend. The truck drove and shifted very well. I got about 8.5-9 mpg’s as well. Trailer is about 7500lbs and 32’ overall.
I just got my truck back on 7/11/2022. I have about 220 miles on it so far. It seems to be shifting well. It seems to hold the gears better with solid shifting when it needs to. I have NOT experienced the transmission “shudder” yet either.
I’m going to bring my travel trailer home tonight so...
My transmission was doing the same thing this past winter. I was thinking it could be the trans solenoid, but the dealer diagnosed the issue to be coming from the valve body. That was replaced by the dealer under warranty. That was not the fix either. The next code was low line pressure along...
I should be getting my truck back this week with a new factory reman transmission. Can I tow my travel trailer right away, or is there some sort of break in period before I should tow?
Is the new 8-speed a lot better than the old 66rfe? I have not heard much about it. I’m curious about the reliability in the longer term. We are seeing the “durability” of the 66rfe now that the 2014-2016 rams are starting to get into the 150k+ mileage range on many trucks from those years.
I still have a 2015 with 3.73’s. I with I had gotten the 4.10’s, but oh well, it’s paid for. It is also about to get a new trannny. Haha.
It pulls my 7,000lb TT fine on relatively flat terrain. I haven’t gone anywhere yet with any real grades to try it out. I’ve only had the TT for about a...
That’s funny. I was actually sitting in the waiting area at the dealership on Monday, while they were scanning the codes, and I got a call about my warranty being expired.
The warranty is through a 3rd party warranty that the dealership buys when you buy a new vehicle them. So far the warranty has been good (it covered the valve body last month), but now some real dollars will need to be shelled out. So we’ll see how they really are.
I was back into the dealership today with all sorts of fun codes tripping the check engine light. Improper gear ratio: 5th gear, Improper gear ratio: 6th gear, and something about the wrong line pressure. I just had the line pressure sensor changed last week.
The service department said my...
