supposedly the 6.4 has weeker interalls than the 6.0 . the 6.4 has 2 egr coolers, not good and they puke , when the 6.4 breaks it beaks bigtime . got to get rid of the DPF and turn off the EGR that will greatly help ! did a 08 450 crew cab dump box truck weighs 13.500 empty the thing was allways in regen got rid of the DPF put in the H&S perf box which also turns of the EGR now he says he has been getting 13 + empty plus it will leave 4 black marks ! turning off the EGR will also stop the internal palution and dilution of the engine .

The EGR / DPF stuff goes for all the trucks.

Yep, I really don't understand the idea behind decreasing mpg that much for really no emission improvment. I have a 2011 H&S sponsered my truck for an article in diesel world mag. After taking all that crap off the truck still doesent smoke at all.

Why would you compare the new Dodge to the older ford 6.4?

The new one is a 6.7, from this thread most seem to like it.

I'm on Cummins forums and I haven't seen any posts talking about transmission problems. Can you elaborate?

If this is your truck, then I am extremely jealous. I read that article and thought that was the sickest truck that I would ever want to own.

Now the question, what boat do you pull with it because I am sure it will look great behind it and pull it with no problem.

You might remember my old dodge it was on the cover of diesel power...silver dually with triple turbos.
