Yeah you're wrong,they don't blow up the blowers anymore then the low power Hellcats do,which is not very common.The early 15/16 IHC blowers had problems with the bearings,but that was rectified by 2017,and after that the blowers are pretty reliable,unless you start swapping pullies and speeding the blower up,and even then they're still pretty damn reliable. Go for a ride in one,it'll peel your eyes open on how hard a full size pickup will launch.
Side benefit is the Hellcat 6.2's don't have MDS,as you sound like somebody who thinks MDS is the root cause of camshaft/lifter failures

Keeping in mind that we’ve already established that the rumble bee gets a non-eTorque hemi, can you highlight the section of that article that states the non-eTorque hemi is optional on any of the other trim levels?

As with most marketing schemes in recent years, ambiguity is the principal feature.

No, they make no specific references to the non-e-junk availability with the different trucks in that article, other than the Rumble Bee. They merely list the 5.7 w/o e-junk as an option.

The following article is much less ambiguous and references the use of e-junk across the entire lineup, besides the RB.

"At least when the 2027 Ram 1500 lineup launches, Ram has confirmed to MoparInsiders that the non-eTorque 5.7-liter HEMI will be exclusive to the Rumble Bee 5.7. That means the rest of the 2027 Ram 1500 HEMI lineup will continue to use the eTorque mild-hybrid system, at least for now."

SHAP Schedule Raises Eyebrows​

There may be more going on behind the scenes.

According to a couple of our sources at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) in Michigan, a recent production schedule shows a non-eTorque version of the HEMI starting production on Monday, September 28, 2026.

That is interesting because the Rumble Bee is expected to be built in Mexico, not at SHAP.

If that schedule is accurate, it could point to more non-eTorque HEMI trucks coming later in the 2027 model year. However, Ram has only confirmed the Rumble Bee 5.7 for launch, and the company is not ready to announce anything beyond that.
