If by "later Hemi" you mean the ones in our 5th gen trucks, then yes it made a difference. Now instead of the bolts snapping, usually the manifold itself cracks. Still a sh|tty problem but I'd prefer the manifold to crack as it's far worse trying to get broken bolts out of the block. I had both...

Eh, it's Ram, given their track record with software and electronics I'm sure whatever it's tracking in my truck is being mistakenly routed to the inbox of some plumber in Fiji. They can have it.

I've been using this one for a few years, so far so good: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00LH7XMDW

hemi + 3.92 is rated at > 11k hemi + 3.21 is rated at > 8k something in the range of 6k does sound like it has the v6.

True enough lol. But that was before Tim K was brought back...

All speculation of course... and they might go the limited edition route, but with the TRX, RHO, Tungsten etc out there already, can they really prop up yet another $100k truck?

Why would they give us the BGE? Makes no sense, every other 6.4 is the SRT at 485 hp. The BGE has a different focus, mainly duty cycle at the expense of power output. This would be a less desirable trait in a half ton where the 5.7 is already capable of maxing out power and duty cycle...

If you have details if/when you get around to it, I'd love to hear what you do for this.

How is this a question? :) In you're own opinion you're driving a great truck. Put the $700/month into an S&P 500 ETF and save for a rainy day.

Have a guy shadowing you in a car with his blinkers on, keep the speed down, 15 miles isn't much if you're careful. If it's just the frame then you shouldn't have that much trouble with wind.

I'm looking at it from a percentage and probability of failure; they've sold millions of these things, even a small flaw will show up as 100,000+ problems. But a 1 or 2 percent failure rate (even 5 to 10) is probably not going to affect me personally. There is no manufacturer that is doing any...

You'll have better luck asking the HDRAMS sister forum, 5thgenrams is mainly for 1500s. https://hdrams.com/forum

We don't have official numbers. The hemi doesn't seem to fail more than other v8's if you account for the sheer number of these engines sold since 2005/2009.

That's like me saying "The only people who prefer the hurricane are ecoboost lovers coming out of the closet." There could be another reason or two people still want the hemi, that's your homework for today.

Broken manifolds happen on the other engines as well, including tundra and titan. Keep in mind that FCA has sold like 10+ million hemis over the decades. Even a 1 to 2 percent flaw means 100,000 to 200,000 affected engines. The shear scale is in a completely different world than the peasly...
