hardly... you could beat the living shiite out of a slant 6, run it nearly out of oil, and it'd just keep on running

same with the chev 283

However, if you run one wide open on an engine stand it will throw a rod through the block. (My high school power mechanics class)

No body wants the 5.7L - interesting. The I6 being mostly plastic, no dip stick, etc I'd have though would put buyers off. It would me.

Turbo direct injection engines come with extra features like fuel dilution in the oil; valve deposits and extra complexity.

It'll be like the European cars. Be ready for major maintenance issues with all the plastic that starts disintegrating at 70k miles or so.

You were literally there for service on a brand new car too... one with known engine issues. lol Come on man


If they can fit the 5.7 then they can fit the 6.4... so offer the 6.4 so that you have a competitive V8 in the truck instead of a boat anchor.

I would be shocked if they offered the 5.7 or 6.4 in the Charger. I kinda doubt they will last very long in the Ram to be honest. Tim said when you have too many engine options it makes each model more expensive because you have to certify all of them and the dealers don’t want to order so many different powertrains.

I think the Hurricane will replace the 5.7 and the H.O. Hurricane will replace the 6.4. Then for upper trim$ a couple of different Hellcat variants. That would essentially be two main power plants covering all the power needs from 420hp to over 1000hp.

That’s how you have to think for production and dealership reasons. The days of 6 different powertrains for one platform are long gone unfortunately.
