Pros for 6.4 Hemi
- No after treatment system to deal with. with modern diesel engines aftertreatment system are getting very complex and expensive to repair. I know personally all the sensors that can fail and see alot of trucks come in just because of aftertreatment issues. so with a gas engine you don't have to worry about that. the other thing is if you are not driving long distances I would stay away from a diesel option. the aftertreatment systems need to get up to temp in order to function properly and if they don't you'll have nothing but problems

- Hemi has low cost of buying and maintenance in comparison to the 6.7 cummins

- 6.4 Hemi has the ability to give you more payload in a ram 2500, give you an extra thousand pounds in comparison to the cummins

- ride quality is better due to less weight in the front of the truck

- and lastly sound. you can't take off the aftreatment system on a Cummins without voiding your warranty but on a gas 6.4 hemi you can install any custom exhaust system you want to make an awesome sounding engine!

Con's for the 6.4 HEMI
- fuel economy on these engines are pretty bad. a Cummins will run about 50-80% more efficient then these engines will. especially when the price of fuel is so high

- 6.4 hemi towing capacity is not as high as the Cummins towing capacity

- resale value of the 6.4 is not as high as the cummins

- lifespan of the 6.4 hemi will not be as long as the 6.7 Cummins. therefore making the cummins engine a longer lasting investment if you so chose to pay up front for it!

thanks for watching guys!
