Wheel and Tire Fitment Advice

The 2016 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi was a nice truck, thirsty but 13.3 for a 2500 that weighed over 7,000 pounds was not that bad. The only issues I had with the 2500 was a solenoid in the transmission, the first time it acted up the transmission went into limp mode 4th gear only, that solenoid was replaced under warranty. Then I got a recall notice for the solenoid that stated even if the solenoid has been replaced it needs to be replaced again. The specs were off on the solenoid spade connectors and they could lose contact with the harness plug causing the transmission to go into limp mode.

Other than that the only time the truck went in for service was for recalls and those were for software upgrades. I never did the frontend drag link recall, I just do not think tack welding the adjustment lock nuts is a solution, Ram should just replace the drag link with a new part that does not allow the lock nuts to come loose. I just use blue locktite one the adjustment nuts and did not have any issues.

The 6.4 Hemi is a good engine, I did use Redline 0w-40 synthetic Group V oil in it and used a Royal Purple oil filter.

There used to be a video but it has been blocked where a Chrysler engineer described the testing the 6.4 Hemi went through and he said it completed the same durability testing the Cummins engine is put through which is 300,000 miles. So the 6.4 was designed to last.

The truck was nice enough that it sold off the dealers used car lot in just 8 days after trading it in to them for my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Laramie ecodiesel.
