Hemi production ending?

ronheater70 · May 24, 2017

Yea I feel its definitley the tranny, I run similar rpms in the gears with this truck and 3:73's that I did with the f150 and 3:31's..

It does pull like a son of a gun though when you get the rpms up, I agree!

If true, when the itch come's for a new truck I'll be back in a Cummins faster then you can say rice burner!

The 6.4 especially with 4.10 axles is still a beast though. It would just be more of a beast if it had a 6.4 specific trans (even designed with this current 6 speed). This engine is STRONG. And even with the current trans I still like this drivetrain better than the other gassers. It just feels stronger, better daily driveability, great features for longevity, its a Hemi. IMO..

And a Cummins Ram wipes the floor with the other's, so you cant go wrong lol.

Would the 8 speed in the 1500 work behind the 6.4?

Well from a car point of view, it's all but dead in regards to the hemi v8. Next redesign...engines Will be turbo v4 &v6.

I'm guessing V8's will be a thing of the past before long.
Does anybody remember the V16 Cadillac, or the V12 Lincoln, and the V10 Viper is ending. I don't want a V8 just for the sake of a V8. Hell, give me
a Twin-Cylinder with over 300 Horse and 300 Lbs Torque and can get 35 MPG,
and tell me where to sign. I'm looking forward to either a V-Twin with the
Harley sound or a Twin like the Old Johny Poppers sound..

Not for several reasons. One of the main ones is the parking pin can't hold the weight the 2500s are rated for.
