2018 vs 2019 6.4

[Wadejesu]

What is biggest difference between Ram 3500 2018 and 2019 ? Is it just 6 spd vs 8 spd? Are the engines different?

The 6.4l is the same engine, now mated to the 8 speed. The frame is also all new and with some weight savings, giving the truck more payload and towing capacity

I was looking at tuners, was told that 2018 tuner won't work on a 2019

So a cold air intake designed for an 18 will fit on a 19 ? Wondering because I just looked at Real Truck and they have no cold air intakes for our truck that show compatible ... also on a different thread somebody mentioned they moved some stuff around on the 19 Hemi 6.4, but I'm not a mechanic and/or have not compared ...

That I do not know for sure.

About the intake...they may have changes the route...doubtful.

About the tuner...probably because of the 8 spd tune.

Alot has to do with the fact the aftermarket isn't fully aware the truck is overall the same. They won't commit because there are some subtle changes.

Make sense? All I got.

My 2019 3500 6.4 has kinda of a cold air intake, cold air comes in just under top of grill and is fed into airbox where I have a K&N. I agree with DevilDog, no tuner yet is because of 8spd.

I have a question for ya. I added a flow master 615112 CAI on mine and now I have black Soot inside my tail pipe is this normal?

Was the truck warmed up when you looked ?......dripping from the tail pipe is normal on start up.

I've had many CAI on various vehicles and never had any adverse mechanical issues from installing them.

I've only run stock air filters and my tailpipe is black on my 14 and I have only 63k on the truck. These 6.4's run a little rich I think.

 

[Wadejesu]

How does it run, other than the soot?

 

[Casey Phalen]

It runs good actually

cai and exhaust are out there now, but I had go to manufacture not 3rd party like autoanything, jeggs etc.
