Simply being a v8 doesn't make it durable or necessarily simpler. A DI V8 is no more simpler that the hurricane I6; now if the hurricane was a V6 the. I may agree with you as the V configuration adds complexity to a DOHC or even a SOHC engine. The hurricane isn't really complex or even more...

Every hurricane thread, this tool shows up to tell everyone how bad the hurricane is and backs it up with hot air and smoke comparing 1500s to HD's while offering absolutely nothing constructive to the conversation. Show me on the doll where the hurricane hurt you

Same reasons 1500's don't have HD diesel engines, his argument is just logically dumb

You're wasting your time with him

Except for the low RPM that kills bearings is called lugging and typically under 1400 RPM or in the wrong gear neither of which the RAM PCM will not allow either engine to operate at under load. Stop with the BS Again with the 3/4 ton vs 1/2 ton truck uses comparisons; yeah, you should stop...

This assumes that the I6 wasn't designed as a turbo application from its conception and is no different than saying fords coyote 5.0 V8 would never last as long as a 5.7 V8 because the stresses are more on the engine due to its size. Your hypotheses doesn't factor in increased bearing size for...

The 5.0's have DI, that alone is a huge boost in power across the RPM range and specifically boost low speed torque. From the dyno charts I've seen, it makes about the same or slightly better average power as the 5.7 HEMI. That (DI) is also likely the reason the hurricanes make the power they do

Tim Kuniskis ruled out the 6.4 in a 1500 in January, where are some of you getting your info? https://www.thedrive.com/news/ram-ceo-rules-out-392-v8-single-cab-sport-truck-exclusive In this video they say the Hurricane is outselling the HEMI

Valve tip broke clean across where the locks attach holding the retainer in place. Looks like a valve stem failure to me

There's a software recall for that, its been out for a while

Posted on FB Ram Group today nothing 100%, HEMI still having issues https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KhnEPdzpF/

Ive had no issues

You cant really compare the 302 coyote to the 5.7 or the 5.3 because of the head configuration, a more valid comparison would be the old pushrod 302. 20 cubic The LS3 is a 6.2L (376 cu in) 430hp and 428tq GM's 6.0 (364 ci) was 360 hp, LS3 is 22" larger with 70 more hp. Ram could have increased...

5.3 to 5.7 isnt neglible. The 5.3 is 325 ci and the 5.7 is 345 (the 5.0 302ci), thats 20 cubic inches (significant) and does make a difference in power. The 5.0 makes more power and more average power due to the heads and DOHC's. The GM 6.0 is a dog too, thats why it had such a short run 6.2...

Ive seen that FB group post, the anti hurricane "mechanic" doesnt even know that the turbo isnt cast into the head or the exhaust manifoldand has said that the cylinder head, exhaust manifold and turbo are all one cast part. He also repeatedly posts the same torn down SO hurricane (in the silver...
