hi everyone looked over the site and decided to join I have a 2016 2500 heavy duty crew cab with the 6.4 hemi. I bought it new in may of 2016. It tows the RV really nice. my question is premium fuel is recommended. I have always used it for towing. but I wonder do I need it for everyday driving? I have sold my other truck and now use this one for my daily driver. thanks

I've run nothing but regular in mine. 30k miles. Occasionally towing 8500 lb camper. Try a tank or two, won't hurt and might save a few bucks..

My 2014 6.4L didn't like 87 octane at all, it ran OK with 89 and actually ran a bit better with 92.

Once I got a programmer and a custom tune it ran a LOT better and I got better HWY MPG than I did with the stock and programmer canned tunes.
