Anyone got a 3500 Ram 6.4 Good or Bad?

I was researching the same thing a few months ago as I was considering purchasing a Ram 2500 4x4 crewcab. I just tow occasionally so I figured I would come out money ahead with the 6.4 until about year 15, where the fuel savings of the diesel would overtake the $7 to $9K additional diesel vehicle cost. Diesel here is usually about 10% higher than gas, and you also have the added expense of the DEF fluids on the new diesels. I think I calculated the diesel to get about 5 mpg better overall for these figures.

Also I do a fair amount of in town driving, and I learned these new emissions diesels do not like that, and often need to go into "regeneration mode" where they burn off extra diesel fuel to clean out the particulates and the computer will ask you to maintain a certain speed for 20 minutes or so to complete regen. cycle.

Someone mentioned safety here, I would argue the 3500 Ram has the same frame and brakes, etc whether diesel or gas, so other than the towing slower I am not sure how he interpreted it to be a safety issue, other than perhaps having more people pass you if you were struggling up a grade etc.

Hands down if you tow a lot, the Cummins will do it better with less fuel. I am not sure about the reliability of the new emissions Cummins, but gathered they are more problem prone than the older models, particularly if they are not used to tow.

What did I do - I decided to keep my old suburban and have it repainted - still has a few good years left in it, hopefully.
