how long will the hemi last though, longer than the 5.9 ??? the hemi really isnt built for towing and work like the 5.9.

It's gotmore torque, I'd say it's built more for towing than a 5.9

Heh, you ain't lyin'. The fastest one I've seen so far runs a 13.60 in the 1/4. Pretty good for a truck, but it doesn't look like anyone seriously hot rods these engines the way the Magnum 5.9 is.

Well that might have something to do with 3rd Gen trucks weighing a good bit more than 2nd gens.

But hell a5.9 with every bolt on mod you can put on it still won't have the same power as a 5.7 hemi stock.

Ok, I stand corrected on the hot rodding; however, I'm still looking to see the sub 13-second times for the 3G Hemi Rams.

i believe the HEMI is probably one of the best engines out there, granted it will never be as awesome as the original 427(which is alot of hype to) both the current and the old school are way over marketed and have more hype than a spice girls reunion tour. but serisouly you cant hate on it because of that. I was valet in Dallas and let me tell you i ahve driven the S**t out some hemi's ever been in an SRT-8 grand cherokee... DAMN! SRT-8 charger? yeah those things haul!

as far as the RAMS they are beasts maybe not as quick as some would like but i would take it over a 5.9. i love my 5.9 but more power all the way around = better palce to start when modding.

personally i wouldnt waste my time with the hemi i would go straight to CUMMINS!! but thats a different story
