    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Then you don't understand how engines are engineered and built; this isn't a 1970 slant six that they slapped a turbo on. This is a reinforced block with forged internals and sophisticated engine management to keep the pistons happy, not a blow through jetted up carb engine.

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    I don't understand this logic at all. Some of you act as though they slapped a turbo on an N/A engine and called it good. 500+HP turbo 4&6 cylinders have been mainstream for more than 20+ years now. An NA engine trying to make 500 hp will have more stress on it than am engine designed for boost...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Your comment seems like it suggests a engine that makes a lot of power will have shorter longevity. My comment was if the engine is built correctly, it'll last as long as a less powerful engine

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    An update to the comparison between the two trucks, I retract my previous statement about the hemi and the hurricane being similar until 5 or 7 miles an hour, the the standard output trim hurricane throws you back into the seat. This engine is night and day hands down superior to the hemi in...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Not really, especially if the engine is built for that power and the application.

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Im calling BS on that. My 2020 Limited got minor damage in an accident this week. I picked up my rental yesterday, 2025 Ram 1500 Laramie with the SST and already 25K miles on it so I have both to compare side by side. 1st impressions, whoever claims the coli suspension trucks ride as good as...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    I took my truck in for an alignment, when they were done, the steering wheel was off by about 30°. I had a service writer tell me the truck was aligned in spec and that all the steering wheels were normally off center like that, that I couldn't be satisfied.... Service writers opinions aren't...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    IDK, I'm not against the death penalty, I just think its too easy and the easy way out. I want to see some pain and suffering so I'm all in on non-HVAC open air buildings with a tin roof. No cells, 10 bathrooms per 1000 inmates and go back to making big rocks into little rocks. No more...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not at all. Like I said, perspective. I'm angry as F over this stupid B but in the big picture, its minor and the truck will get fixed. In a perfect world and if I were POTUS, Id revamp the drivers license system and people that cause stupidly avoidable accidents would lose their DL and the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Id take a bad cluster over my situation. I keep reminding myself that no matter how unlikeable a situation is that you may find yourself in, it can ALWAYS be worse. Today was a hard reminder for me, even as seemingly minor as it may look or seem. This :poop: sucks (30 days in the shop on a new...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Paid if off only to have an indian (dot not feather) run a flashing yellow and hit me and 2 other cars Aside from the obvious, the front and rear wheels are damaged, the front is out of alignment at best, something is bent at worst, driver rear axle shaft is bent, rear parksense, ABS...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    It's my company truck but my cheap A company doesn't pay for anything, not even fuel. I'm gonna have write a stern email to management tomorrow; of course when I get the complaint, I'll right click it, mark as junk and block the sender. May even suspend myself for a day.:D

    Slow Hemi :(

    I'd bet that was transmission or egr issues, not the engine itself. Everyone one I knew back then that had GN's or GNX's had trans issues. That 200R4 was trash

    Slow Hemi :(

    Im am as mopar as one can be but I can admit that the 5.7 in these trucks is weak. I had a 73 charger in HS that came with a 318, swapped that for a RHS 360 (RHS was a subsidiary of comp cams that built high performance engines in the 90's) then a 440 and from there it was a 89 Shelby Daytona. I...
