    On the fence on which gears to go with

    RAM screwed up with the 66RFE. They just used the same gears from the 68RFE. Great for a Cummins, but not even close for a Hemi. With my 4.10s I’m still under 2K RPMs cruising at 75MPH. The 6.4 doesn’t even come on until about 2300RPMs. It’s a heavy duty truck. It should be geared to tow a heavy...

    On the fence on which gears to go with

    Said by someone who has never towed heavy with a 6-speed 6.4 with 4.10s. I was originally thinking 4.56, but it’s not enough difference from the 4.10 to be worth the cost. If I do it’ll be 4.88s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing Questions

    Upgrade rear springs

    Look at sumo springs, timbrens, or airbags. Airbags affect the ride the least when aired down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Time for brakes

    At 96K my 2500 is ready for brakes. Obviously the OEM brakes work fine to get nearly 100K out of them, but they were obnoxiously loud their whole life. Any recommendations for replacements? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifters, extended idle times, oil

    I’m at 96K on my original lifters. Idling for me consists of remote starting the truck when it’s really cold, and before I hook up to a trailer to make sure everything is warmed up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aftermarket 5th wheel puck system

    How about a curt drop in ball, and an Andersen ultimate hitch, Reese goosebox, or GenY executive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You can buy and install the factory system. Do you just not like it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing with a 6.4 hemi

    Mileage will increase significantly if you dial highway speed back to 62-63 range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing with a 6.4 hemi

    Yeh, but that peak torque came on early, and you weren’t teaming down the road at 4000 RPMs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
