RE: 5.9 vs 5.7
It's gotta be the Hemi. But as the only one with a 5.9 with the 3rd Gen bodyto commentso far...I bet I can giveone a run for its money with mine. I know I could take most 4.7s pre-08. I really need a gear change to get what I want out of mine.

RE: 5.9 vs 5.7
Asking a question like that is like trying to slap the fangs out of a rattler's mouth; you know you can do it, but it's gonna hurt like hell when you do... that said, I'm proud to own the 5.9, it does what I expect it to do & more, I mean she's a TRUCK....

a 5.9 would also go four wheeling places where a hemi could not, a hemi is built for more top end, where the 5.9 is the low end

So your saying that the difference is so large that there would actually be places a 5.9 could wheel that a 5.7 could not?
Come on man.
Your splitting hairs pretty bad.

I have had both, and like my hemi better, lower torque, but still plenty. Higher HP, and much better economy.
