    Diesel/Gas justification banter?

    My 6.4 tows just fine. Saved $12,500. Diesels are good for long hauling, towing heavy and frequent. I don't tow heavy or frequent, so diesel was not a sound financial decision for us.

    Diesel/Gas justification banter?

    I did a search on Carvana for a 2020, 2021 and 2022 2500 diesel vs gas and on average the difference was around $7,000 more for the diesel (trim level depended). While it is true you get more on resale, you also spent more buying it, running it and maintaining it. Even with the extra coin at...

    RAM 2500 Bighorn 6.4L Starting Issues

    Check your starter cable again. But this time undo the nut clean the connector and the tighten it really good. That was my issue with sporadically not starting.

    JScan Sticky

    I got it to work. I tapped the purple wire without removing the plugs.

    2020 2500 6.4 Fuel mileage

    I honestly wasn’t trying to stir the pot that time. I was just talking about my experience.

    2020 2500 6.4 Fuel mileage

    I had an argument with a few diesel fanboys about how gas engines tend to lose less gas mileage towing than diesels and they were not having it. I used my previous diesel as an example, 24HMY unloaded, 14MPG towing. 42% loss in MPG On Ram 2500 6.4 normally I get 12.5 mpg combined. 16.5 best...

    2020 2500 6.4 Fuel mileage

    Best I've done is 16.6MPG on the highway. I get impatient behind idiots driving under the speed limit, so I smash it to pass them.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Not sure if anyone knows but Carvana recently jumped into the new car market. There are several new Ram 2500s with great discounts. I've purchased from the before and I love the 100% hassle free process. I was looking at a 2026 Warlock 6.4 in Granite, but it is now under Purchase in progress. It...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    For us the dinette was a must. Ours has a full size queen bed but there is the option to choose a murphy bed that turns into a nice sofa (which I like but my wife does not). I think the murphy option and dinette hits the sweet spot.

    There are some Chinese excavators that are quite nice. I'm looking at a 2-3 ton mini ex.

    Towing with new 6.4L

    The total drive was 450 miles from the RV dealer to our house. The first leg towards an RV park in Springerville AZ then from there to our house. I kept my top speeds between 65-68 MPH. Total trip was 10 MPG hand calculated. Camper was around 6,000 lbs, plus our gear and a boatload of beer and...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    Ever driven through Tonto National Forest from Phoenix? These aren’t little hills. Even on the Ike you don’t gain 6,000 ft. like you do there. That is quite a bit.

    Towing with new 6.4L

    Well, I wanted a camper so I bought a property in the mountains to park it. Ended up building a cabin as our vacation home which then turned into our main home after I retired. Needed a tractor to work the land, but that required many attachments. Then we got an ATV. Then got an excavator to...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    Yes. That’s what I told my wife. She laughed at me. There were some 7 and 6% grades. Motor revved to about 3,900RPM to maintain speed.

    Towing with new 6.4L

    After spending five days at a nice resort in Tucson, we picked up our new Ember 22ETS TT today and drove 4 hours to an RV park halfway home. Decided to drive through Tonto National Forest for the first time and it was great scenery. The 6.4 handled the 6,000 lbs. TT just fine. Gas mileage sucked...
