Where is the rating for the 4.10 axle ratio on the 4x4 2500 Crew w/6.7L I6 diesel?

The 4.10 isn't available with the 6.7. Only the gasser has optional axle ratio unless you jump to a dually. Ram changed from 3.42 to 3.73 with the 6.7 this year as the only option for single rear wheel Cummins.

Well, darn! The online configurator allowed it, so I figured it was available. Hadn’t asked dealer though. My assumptions burn me again. Thx Orlando Bull.

What he said...that's why there isnt one. I bet the 3.73 will help that Cummins seem even stronger
 
If I'm reading this correctly, the Megacab is only 4x4?
Would I kick myself later if I opted for the 3.73 vs the 4.10?
 
Yes. You will want the 4.10s. I got the 3.73, and although they are fine...I wanted the 4.10.

Mega cab is going to be way low on payload. Not as low as the Powerwagon, but not much more.

Hrm... really gonna have to think on the gears. This is really gonna be primarily a tow vehicle...

Gonna have to go by a dealer and take a look at the interior of some of these 2500s seeing as how they are essentially the same, the space in the Megacab is exceptional... maybe even look at some payload stickers!

Then be sure to get the 4.10. The wife is only gonna want a bigger camper.

Much cheaper to order/buy it with them then want/need them later.

I swore I wouldn't go without them...I did...still wish I didn't...but it will be ok(I keep telling myself, or did I do it on Purpose):eek:
 
Ok, so trying to crunch some preliminary numbers.

On the image posted by @Jazdad2007 it is showing two different sets of numbers for the 3.73 gears (2500), what am I missing?
I looked at the pdf posted by @DevilDodge but that isn't making much sense to me either.
 
Do you mean the GVWR...10000 and 9900...if that is it the 9900 is Canadian.

If that isnt it then do tell and remeber this year the Cummins gets 3.73...but i dont believe that is your confusion.
 
2500. 6.4l and Cummins GVWR 10000(the 5.7l is gone...it was 9000) 9900 is Canadian

6.4l 3.73 GCWR 21500
6.4l 4.10 GCWR 24000

Cummins 3.73 GCWR 27000

Correct, looking at the 6.4 and not the Cummins... the 9900 in the pdf was throwing me off...thanks!
 
I currently pull heavy with a 6.4, around 23K lbs combined, and, while the eight speed should make a world of difference vs the cursed 66RFE, I would definitely recommend 4.10s.

This may be relevant to your question.....I weighed my Tradesman CCSB, 392 this morning. Empty weight on it is 6600#, resulting in a usefull load of 3400# for people, gas, and stuff.

Thank, any information at this point is useful information.

I found two 2500 Megacabs through cars.com that are local-ish... I emailed them for the payload rating.
