    Oil Thread - 6.4 Hemi

    The data I have seen on the 57060XP is 99% at 35 microns, the regular 57060 is 99% at 23 microns. The synthetic media and larger micron rating gets them the longer change interval and higher capacity for debris, but it pays the price in filtration. AMSOIL does not spec a filter because there...

    Oil Thread - 6.4 Hemi

    Looks like a great UOA report, I short trip daily and can make it to 15k easily if you're so inclined to run farther between changes. What oil filter are you running? I've published a few videos on my AMSOIL usage to youtube.

    6.4L towing MPG?

    I tend to follow slower traffic or semi's and usually see 8-10 depending on traffic and weather.

    New User: Needed a serious tow rig, Ram 3500 was the best choice.

    Welcome. I'm sure you'll find all the information here you need. As for cost of maintenance, you can certainly save a pretty penny doing it yourself. Take a look around, there's plenty of sources for OEM and aftermarket filters.

    Oil Thread - 6.4 Hemi

    All the wording I see says "meets the needs of" not "certified to MS-12633" To me, that means it is NOT approved by Chrysler/Stellantis. These official certifications are a huge cost for companies, especially for such a small volume.

    Oil Thread - 6.4 Hemi

    AMSOIL can be had for less than Schaeffers and it still had life left in it after 12k miles, even if you change at 10k miles that's a huge savings over time. Neither one is officially approved by Stellantis to meet the MS standards, they are just designed to meet/exceed it. Another added benefit...

    New ZF trans for 2023?

    If they kept the gearing the same as the 6.4 8HP, then the axle ratio would actually have to go to a 3.55 to keep the final drive the same. The ZF isn't impossible to service, the packaging in the 1500's certainly didn't make it any easier though. Yes, changing the filter requires replacing the...

    capacity/payload

    At one point, the VIN lookup utility was wildly inaccurate, then it was accurate, it may be inaccurate again...I don't know. I stand by what I said, find the GCWR and then go off of the stickers on your truck and math the rest of it out.

    capacity/payload

    Sometimes the manufacturers include a set amount for hitch weight, a single driver and possibly the commercial safety kit. Other times they will include the options which are included on a certain percentage of the trucks that are built. It can be messy... I would recommend using the lookup...

    capacity/payload

    Max towing is GCWR minus the curb weight of the truck. Keep in mind that anything you put in the truck also subtracts from your max towing, you, the weight of your hitch, your lunch, etc. etc. You're probably better off starting a thread with all the specs of your truck, what you intend to use...
