Thanks for posting! Very impressive indeed. Is your truck 4x4? If so, no problems with front driveshaft? (only grease lube point on the truck)

Do you really have a 2016? At 182k, i'd bet you are the highest mile 2016 6.4L anywhere and among the highest of any 6.4L.

Please keep us updated on this thread. 200k, 250k, 300k reports etc.

Yes, really 183,000 miles and adding about 13,500 monthly.
No other problems except the ones listed above. Even still have factory brakes.

You have me beat on the load weight. My heaviest load was a custom Ram 2500 and a 4Runner. Scaled at 26300 lbs. Transported from Michigan to Texas.

I think you get the trophy, that's a long haul!

Wow! Please provide us more details on your 6.4L. 3500/4500/5500? Dually? Crew Cab? Aisin transmission? Trim level? (Tradesman, Laramie etc.)

Thanks

wow, that some heavy loads, thats awesome and a true testament to the strength and durability of the 6.4! thanks for sharing!

 

[mohemipar]

Cool pics, should send those off to Ram lol. Do you regularly haul new AEV builds? Their factory is practically in my backyard.

 

[HvyDuty]

Thanks for sharing. Not only a test of the 6.4L, but also the frame, transmission and rear coil suspension of the 2500.

I was fully expecting you to post your 3500/4500/5500 dually specs lol.

Do you run airbags? What is you favorite tire choice? Thanks again

Yes I do for the last 5 years.

Awesome truck and very happy to hear how well it is holding up.

What made you go with gas this time (instead of diesel)?

Thanks for posting!

Typical Daily Load:

I have been contemplating quitting my job & running hot shot loads. My brother in law has been doing it & loves it. If you live in an area where you know there are loads all the time it makes it nice. He hauls a lot of ag. equipment out of Iowa & then sometimes his broker will get him back hauls too. Do you still make pretty good money even though you only haul two vehicles at a time?

Well just a little over 13 mo. ago, my 2015 diesel's injector pump went out at 167,000 miles and it took the dealer about 4 weeks to get it going again. Long Story ($12,000 bill).

In any case, I needed a truck so I could keep working. When at the dealer looking at diesel truck, he ask, did you ever look at one of the 6.4s.
I said I tow with the truck, after showing me the tow rating, and that being more than my trailer could hold, I gave it some thought.

But what closed the deal was the Life Time Unlimited Mile Warranty.

Here is what I got:
1. Better fuel mileage
2. Lower Fuel Costs
3. More Horse Power - half the torque But near the same performance
4. Much better price on the truck
5. Repairs will only cost me $100.00

What a deal!

Yes, I do on average 16K a month. I mostly do long hauls. Transporting more than 2 in most cases is hard to find more than 2 going in the same direction.

In addition, if you stay under 26,000 lbs. you don't need a CDL.

^^ Good on you bro!

That’s awesome that this has worked out 1,000 percent in your favor!!
I mean what’s not to love, I bet you slept like a baby after the first two trips and just giggle every now and then knowing you are racking up the miles and are covered. That’s fckn awesome!

Btw - what oil and oil filter are you using? Also how long do you go before changing it?

I use Mobile1 0-40 and Fram filter. I change oil every 2 to 3 weeks about 4000 to 7000 miles.

I'm definitely a gas believer! Thank you for your response.

I’m almost entirely gas now with my company fleet. I used to have Dodge Rams with the Cummins diesel motor, GM pickups with the Duramax, Ford with the horrendous 6 L power stroke, and Isuzu box trucks with their diesel motor. I’ve been in business for 25 years and I have now almost entirely switched to gas motors. I’m tired of those expensive emission repairs, injection pumps, injectors, def pumps, and a flurry of other extremely expensive repairs. I now have a 6.0 liter GM gas motor in one of my Isuzu box trucks, a 2016 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 L hemi, and a 3500 transit with the gas 3.5 eco- boost motor. I still have three more diesels in my fleet. They will probably be the last. The hemi has been phenomenal at pulling trailers (which has around 23,000 miles on it), the eco-boost has been great as well, and the 6 L Chevy motor in the Isuzu box truck has been amazing.

Wow! I think that is better than what my brother in law is doing. He kind of picks & choses his loads & doesn't run all that hard.
I drove tractor trailer for a couple of years so I have my CDL so no worries there.
I was thinking if I pulled the trigger I could run with my current truck until I got going good & then get a dually with the Cummins but it sounds like you are really making it work with the 2500 6.4.
I see you have a topper... do you sleep in there or in the back seat? I think by brother in law took the back seat out & has a mattress back there.
