That's pretty much what I figured. Just wanting to confirm it. This new 6.4L Hemi has gotten my attention. Thanks for the help.

Can't offer any personal experience, but am expecting a 2015 F250 4x4 in next few weeks to come in. I ordered it with the dual fuel option (6.2 gasoline / CNG). I put together a 5 year anticipated cost summary comparing straight gas, diesel and the CNG option and the CNG wins as long as the fuel stays under $2.75. It's now anywhere from $1.69 to $1.99 here in Lafayette. I will keep you posted once I actually receive it.

I am all for alternative fuels, and if I ever buy another diesel I will install a conversion kit for burning used grease.

I will be curious... When you get your truck post some MPGs when you're running CNG. I have had work trucks with this and noticed a big reduction in MPGs, pretty (Example, if I ran 10MPG with regular unleaded, then when burning CNG I was right around 6 or 7 MPG.

Good Luck

The 6.4 is a monster, I know a few fellow Power Wagon owner with the new truck that comes with the 6.4 and all they do is brag about how you cannot bog it down.

I would get a new Ram! BUT, do not like the new body style compared to the 3G body style that I have. I do way to much off roading, and to much body damage would come from the 4G sytle.

Good Luck
