That stupid article mentioned Durangos and then I started looking at them and was like, damn I should get this nice used one. Reading is dangerous!

I was always surprised that Ram did not bring out a High Performance pick-up with a HellCat option. But now that they $hit-canned the Classic series, they no longer produce a single cab truck.

They did the TRX 4x4 702hp 35" tires & quick as hell for a 4wd truck
short-bed crew cab, 0-60 is fast as hell for a 6k # truck
beat most cars on the road & can go in the snow & rocks/hills offroad, like crazy
jumps great too,
The Raptor Killer, when it 1st came out...

So much for all the so called experts on the RAM forum who said the 5.7 couldn’t be brought back because the tooling for it (5.7) was all destroyed and the production line turned over to the Hurricane.

Yes, I was told this by folks who have no clue where I work. Lol. I told them not to believe everything they read or hear. We are still getting replacement Hemis of all sizes and apps, they gotta come from somewhere. When kiniskis(sp) came back, I figured this was coming sooner than later. We need him to take Dodge under his wing too.

So are there still factory 5.7's still floating around?? Would I have a chance to get one in my new Ram come November when my lease is up?

If not, Ill just get a 2500 til the 5.7 in a 1500 is available again and be a poser. LOL

Since Mopar Performance still advertises complete new Hemi crate engines, it does seem like they're still around.

If they are in 1500s again, yes it would probably be fall, 26 model year. Here's the issue, the 6 cyl turbo is managed by a bosch ecm, and the hemi uses our gpec variant, 2 completely different operating systems with different wiring. So that's the first hurdle, as they all communicate with all the other modules in the vehicle. Then, it has to be tested to prove to the feds that it passes emmissions and then to CA to pass their nazi stds. Once all that is done, it can make it to market. I'm sure there's more to it, but that's all I'm aware of. We are busy trying to fix issues that the previous leader caused, but we are making headway.
