Going in the right direction... bringing that and a plain old hemi back perhaps as well.

Now if the could just dump all the ridiculous newer CAFE and Kalifornia CARB rules...

 

[boogielander]

i'll believe it when it actually comes out. until then... it's just a rumor.

It must be true! It’s on the internet!

If I were the head of Stellantis I would also spread that rumor. It wouldn't make any difference whether I plan to remake a 5.7 V8 or not. Just a rumor being around and on the internet will sooth some feelings and make people stay with Ram trucks. But I do have a question why would they want to restart the factory and incur that expense to sooth the feelings of a number of people that are not going to even come close to buy enough of them to pay to restart building them?

To sell trucks?? I'm retired and probably own my last truck. If I'm ever able to buy another new truck, I would hope that it would be another 5.7 Hemi, but it would have to be a non e-torq. The only other way I would go is a 2018 CTD and put it on a diet.

it's whatever, ram claims they couldn't get the emissions down on the hemi so they developed the hurricane. yet gm can somehow continue to make the 5.3 and the 6.2 pass.....Stellantis killed the hemi because they could i want to say it was the only v8 any company they own had. oh yeah do own Maserati because Italian car's are renown for their reliability LOL........ they are turning CDJR into euro trash.

they could make the hemi be emission compliant but they chose not to.
the hurricane fan boys are right in one regard though: that the hemi is old.

it didn't make sense for the French CEO to pour money on an old powerplant that Europeans cannot have, and it doesn't make sense financially for the Europeans to improve it to match emission at the time. All these because European minds cannot comprehend US market.

Look at Toyota: the 3.5 V6 and the 4.6/ 5.7 V8s are as old as well, and instead of messing with those to please the EPA overlords they straight kill them to use engines and technologies that they've been using on other vehicles.

True but in making them pass , they also blow up. They're garbage.

they blow up because of quality control, not emission controls.
funny to me some guy's say the 5.7/6.2 hemi is old but really it's not. some of those same guy's probably think a 1911 is the best gun ever and they are over 100 years old, glocks are almost 50. my point is sometimes a mechanical things just work. how long has a 911 been produced? the Germans just keep tweaking it.
the epa and cafe standards are the problem not the technology.

ill bite hahaha im one of those guys saying the 5.7/ 6.2/ 6.4 hemi is old. old as in the 3rd gen has been around since 2003. and that feels old to me but not saying it's a bad thing lol
and i do think an 1911 is the best .45 pistol ever hahahahaha
and yes, mechanical things work better than electrical... longer lasting too.

and yes, epa and cafe standards can go dig a hole and bury themselves.
