RAM TRUCK 1500 2014, Catalog

Page: 32 / 45

The high-wear, powdered-metal materials
used in the valves and valve seats have been
fully tested—in fact, to the equivalent of
200,000 customer miles of operation.
Count on premium performance—
with wallet-friendly 87-octane unleaded gas.
Need above-average electrical output? The
6.4L hEMI ® V8 offers a gas-driven power first:
available dual alternators, combining 220- and
160-amp units for a total of 380 working amps.
The Active Intake Manifold helps
give this engine exceptional low-end
torque and impressive power.
Variable Valve Timing (VVT), a high-compression
ratio and dual 100,000-mile platinum spark plugs
all contribute to refined and powerful performance.

All-New the fORmIdabLe 6.4L hemI v8
available for Ram 2500/3500. Take the proven engineering
assets of the hemispherical combustion chamber, increase
cylinder bores for greater displacement, and incorporate
technology like Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Fuel Saver
Technology to get the most of every drop of fuel. The results give you
the new available engine for Ram Heavy Duty—the 6.4­liter HEMI
V8. And that gives 2014 Ram Heavy Duty 2500/3500 pickups a new
position of absolute power, backed by a succession of commercial­grade
best­in­class attributes.
The big picture? 2014 Ram Heavy Duties deliver all­new clout where
clout is needed, respected—and preferred. The engines described here
reflect the most comprehensive lineup in our history. The 6.4­liter
HEMI V8 delivers total capability and a stunning list of best­in­class
features, detailed below.
When you build trucks of this power and quality, comparisons are
encouraged. Other truck manufacturers can only envy the Ram Heavy
Duty lineup for powertrain selection, horsepower levels and torque output.
+ Count on best-in-class [1] gas horsepower
from the 6.4-liter hEMI V8: 410 hp (and
370 hp for 3500 Mega Cab
® only). It's
the ideal for acceleration and highway
merging and cruising, even under the
heaviest loads.
+ Fuel-efficient performance is engineered
into the electro-mechanical heart of the
6.4-liter hEMI V8. MDS/Fuel Saver
Technology helps save fuel with no
compromise or noticeable changes in
engine operation.
+ The corollary to that best-in-class [1] gas
horsepower is best-in-class
[1]
gas torque ;
the 6.4-liter hEMI V8 torque levels are
rated at a super-competent 429 lb-ft
@ 4,000 rpm.
+ Fuel Saver Technology plays a significant
role towards fuel-efficient performance.
While cruising at highway speeds, the
engine automatically (and seamlessly)
shuts off four of the eight cylinders,
letting you maintain speeds with the
economies of a four-cylinder.
transMissions:
The new 6.4-liter HEMI V8 is mated to the long-proven 66RFE 6-speed automatic, a component that exceeds typical demands for
anticipated towing and hauling. The transmission features driver-adaptive shifting, three multiple clutch packs and dual filters on a dual-stage pump;
an independent lubrication cooler on the 66RFE ensures ample pressures under all driving and load conditions.
+ Best-in-class [1] gas towing is the natural
by-product of the best-in-class
[1]
gas
power. On Ram 2500 models with
the 6.4L hEMI V8, towing is rated at
16,300 lb. On Ram 3500 DRW models,
towing jumps to 16,450 lb. (All towing
figures apply to trucks that have been
properly equipped.)
+ The cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) System is one of the first of its
kind for a gas engine; common to diesel
engines, the EGR System is designed to
enhance fuel efficiency in heavy-load
and uphill towing situations.
+ Best-in-class [1] payload rounds it out.
The available 6.4-liter hEMI V8 in Ram
3500 delivers a jaw-dropping payload
rating of 7,320 lb (when properly
equipped). This is pure capability
at your service.
+ The 6.4-liter hEMI V8 offers another
first-time Ram application of advanced
technology: Individual Cylinder Fuel
Control, a diagnostic monitoring
enabling air/fuel refinements and
ensuring ideal mixtures for each
individual cylinder.
