6.4L / 6.7L Powerstroke motors ( any problems)

[Mudman]

The older ones are better.  Lose the emissions crap and the new ones are much better.  My engine breathes clean and farts dirty.  Perfect and lots power. New cummins 6.7 is absolute beast without emissions and with good tune!

I thought about a newer Dodge with the Cummins but after driving my works 2012 3500 around town most of the day Friday I wasn't real impressed. The turbo lag was horrible. I drove my bosses 2014 6.7L around Thursday and there's no lag when you get into it. Haven't ruled out a duramax  yet either still in the reaserch phase.

Powerstroke has 2 turbo's.  One that works off of low rpm which is why you don't feel the lag.

Why does it have to be a newer truck if its ok for me to ask?

.   I want something with low miles and something that hasn't been beat on.

.   That makes sense I was just surprised at the lag. How are the Dodge trannies holding up to the Cummins. The tranny in my 98 1500 sucked. Had to rebuild at 118000 miles

They're fine as far as I know.

There is nothing wrong with the transmissions in the late model Rams.

[jackelope]

Right. The front ends still suck but so do the Fords. There's a solid front axle trend there. Some love them but they sure do eat up parts.

03 and up Dodge auto's are leaps and bounds ahead of the previous ones. The new 6 speed auto is even better but it only comes with the 6.7 Cummins. In my opinion the 6.7 Cummins is a great engine especially after you rip off all the emissions crap . Put gauges and a good programmer on any Cummins and you'll say LAG..... what lag, even on the lowest settings. Jackelpe is right on about the Dodge and Ford front axles they all kill ball joints, axle u joints, and unit bearings.

The 6.4l powerstrokes have the compound turbo setup while the 6.7's have a single turbo with a variable geometry exhaust side and 2 compressor wheels and housings for the charge air side.  Here is a link for the 6.7s setup pretty cool but looks very expensive to replace! http://www.internationalpowerstroke.com/sst.html
