As have I, 277K on my 2003 and 93k on this truck. Would I have bought a 1500 (Limited) with the SRT power tuned for a truck? Hell yeas over the 5.7. Would I buy a 1500 with the SRT 6.4 over the HO Hurricane? No because I understand how the 2 will drive and where the usable power is

By this forum's own comments, most don't keep a truck more than three to four years so this is completely irrelevant to them. Secondly, a turbo engine built correctly will last as long as a naturally aspirated engine. They don't use the same components so they can be made to wear the same

You keep referring to heavy duty yet the 1500 is not heavy duty so your heavy duty comments are irrelevant and this context. The 1500 is light duty. You don't see a Cummins 5.9 in the 1500, why? Because that's a heavy duty engine and the 1500 to light duty truck

Nope, you said 6.4, not the SRT 6.4

Show me an example of an engine failure due to an aluminum block and failed duty cycles. Handle heat, an aluminium block handles heat fine if not better than an iron block; wonder why dodge used aluminium heads for the 5.7 if aluminium is so bad?

No, you've been asking for the 6.4

And I've told you, they use both but did it ever occur to you that they use iron in HD trucks because it's cheaper and the extra weight over the nose is as critical in a 7-8k truck? I'd bet money very few here aside from you care about an iron block over aluminum block but you keep flying that...

That's the car engine, not the truck 6.4, you're wrong bob

Exactly. Had Dodge made any improvements to the 5.7 like GM and Ford have done, it'd be a different story but they haven't. The only noteworthy improvements to the 5.7 since 2002 are Eagle heads and VVT. The 5.7 feels lazy sometimes because it doesn't have a lot of low speed torque. I bet your...

You made the comment that the hurricane wasn't used in the HD trucks, the 1500 isn't a HD truck and the Hurricane was designed for a LT truck so yeah, water is wet. The 5.9 was in HD trucks before the 5.7 was and it was as bad as the 5.7 was in HD trucks GM uses both aluminium and iron blocks in...

With the 6.4, all you're getting is a bump, 15hp and 20tq. you'll most certainly feel that

What?

FYI, the 1500 is a, wait for it, Light Duty truck. Its true to you but you can't offer a single fact to validate your claim. As for the 5.7 being the only engine used and abused in the HD ton segment, why? Because the 5.7 was the only gas V8 dodge had until the 6.4 came along. Also, the 5.9...

Nah, I knew that would happen, if the Dart had hung on a little longer, it would have gotten an HC engine too. HC engines are Dodges Franks Red Hot Sauce

That sir is Un-American

Yeah but that's a car engine, not tuned for a heavy truck and isn't going to happen anyway

Don't be fooled, they know. Ram SRT 10 by comparison, 0-60 mph: 4.9 seconds (Regular Cab). Quarter-mile: 13.6 seconds (Regular Cab). 2025 Ram Limited HO C/D TEST RESULTS 60 mph: 4.2 sec 100 mph: 11.1 sec 1/4-Mile: 12.8 sec @ 106 mph

I'm not a believer in the magic of the 6.4 in a 1500, it just doesn't make power. That said, do I need 540 hp in a truck? Yes. Do I want 540HP in a truck? Yes. Is it necessary for my day to day driving? Yes. In all seriousness though, its like many here say about 4x4, they'd rather have it and...

Yet the same ones poo-pooing the hurricane having more HP are asking for the 6.4
