Looking to see if anyone is pulling a 10k 5er with a newer ram 3500 with the 6.4 hemi? We were pulling with a 1990 f350 with a 460, but the transmission went out on a recent trip. We are stuck between trading in my Tacoma, which has been insanely reliable, on a newer 1 ton and selling the old Ford, or puting a new transmission in the Ford. Engine health of the Ford is kind of unknown it runs good but leaks and uses oil but is paid off. We have been taking longer and longer trips, and having the transmission go out on this last trip was a huge pain we couldn't find anyone to tow the camper. Just looking for opinions especially if you are pulling with a 6.4. the one we are looking at has 97k miles on it, but for all I'm willing to spend on a truck they all have that mileage or more.
