I remember reading somewhere that the 6.1 was being used for the SRT lineup in 06'. However, I cant remember where I read that lil gem of info or its validiity. Anything is possible with the manufactures these days so ya never know.

Well, going by the website I have to say no. If you try to build a truck it is not an option.

I am going to take a shot in the dark on this one.

If DMC follows their past policy, remember when the 5.7 Hemi was introduced in 2002? Mid year introduction in the 2500 Ram Heavy Duty only......

Will they make the 6.1 in a detuned option on the 06 1/2 2500?????

My guess is yes, watch them detune the 6.1 to 380 hp for the 3/4 ton truck. If so, it will progress from there, just as the 5.7 did.

Just my $.02 worth on this.

you forget though. the 06's are already out. if they ever introduce the 6.1 in a ram, it wont be until 07 or so.

I remember reading somewhere that it was supposed to be an option for the Mega Cab in 2007. Then again that could've been someone else's rumor. Anyway, I was told not to hold my breath.

I'm thinking that they'll just boost the current 5.7 up a bit to keep up with the competition. I would hazard a guess at 360 HP and 390 lb/ft of torque. It's certainly feasible and probably easy for them to do at the factory. I don't think this will happen until at least 07/08 model.

As a 2006 2500HD owner, I say not this year. If it does happen my guess will be mid of 2007 or 2008. I hope they dont put a MDS in it either.
