Well, it took that long for the question to even be posted. Been 40minutes now and they haven't even answered it. Seems like they are avoiding it because I was not the only one who asked about the Hemi tick.

Funny, Have a add banner for Fords all new engines in the F-150, on Dodgefourm.com ( yes, bills have to be paid) and Dodge can't tell or inspire hemi owners with news on increasing H/P or mileage on the Hemi.

I'm loyal to Dodge, how ever I don't expect Dodge/chrysler spend much time away from focus groups or the bean counters.

Well, my only reasoning for them not answering those questions is because they were avoiding issue's that were bad designs. They answered only the questions that pertained to "correct" engineering if you will.

I dunno who Pasquale is but wholy crap, did he ask a ton of mpg "gas saver" type questions. The engineers were eating it up too. I think to buy a full size truck and expect compact car mpg's is asking a bit too much with the allowable design priciples of modern gasoline engines. There are patents that would enable engines to achieve much, much more, but the oil companies buy the rights to those patents whenever they come up, so they ultimately control our future for the gas consumption so they can keep on profiting from the poor inefficiencies of gasoline engines. Afterall, it's their future they care about, not ours.
Pasquale if your out there...Alcohol cannot be used as they said. You'll deteriorate your seals in your gastank and your engine(alcohol dries them up)plus it lacks lubricity. Also, while it may be initially cheaper to run alcohol and you may gian mpg's, the end result is a loss or "equivilant" to gasoline because alcohol burns quicker and thus you get less mpg's as compared to gasoline. Not to mention the tuning isn't meant for alcohol consumption...lol
You did se the window sticker that said 13city/17highway when you bought it right? Just asking?

Regardless of engine design, The dodge ram weighs minimum 5,000lbs and has the aerodynamics of a brick wall. Aint nothing gonna help much with that. Torque is your best friend and gearing down is the only way! 4:10's or 4:56's depending on how much highway you travel?
