What's wrong with making a full-time living on YouTube? I do. It is a business.

I also have a website, all the social media channels to monitor and a host of other things to do each day.

You make it sound like I'm somehow less important or reliable because I have a YouTube Business.

I know you weren't quoting me but I agree, there is nothing wrong with making a living in the YouTube arena. That's awesome and kudos to anyone who is able to do so. The issue I find with some though is sprinkling in some facts or truths and then from there mixing in conspiracy theories, half backed opinions, ginned up rumors, and outright lies that build to a dishonest presentation overall (not necessarily this video, but watch some of his others its eye opening). The lack of fairness and integrity in that sucks. Some folks don't have enough perspective to see through what's BS and what isn't. And you know Stellantis business is hurt to some degree by it. It would be great to know the motivation there as one could jump in conspiracy theories there. In the end when you see red flags, move on.

Can we get a double ohc 318 hemi turbo making 500hp with 25mpg. 6 bolt main aluminum block. Multi fuel. Asking for a friend. lol

IF it comes out, will be for the 1500. Ram invested to much in the hurricane to drop it.

Agreed that its likely reserved mostly for the 1500, possibly a charger/challenger as well.

Ram didn't invest money in the hurricane though. Stellantis did, from what I understand it's a "global engine" for them used in markets other than North America either and its not going to go anywhere.

I'm hoping this will change in the future either through the audience getting smarter or the algorithm changes.

The click bait or what I call shock jocks, really **** me off. I'm someone who works hard to get the information right. Yet, guys like this Motor Feed, just post nonsense and it gets 10 x the views my videos do.

This video was from 6 days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx03JriyVRk

He ran nearly the same video last year: https://youtu.be/fyMx1gV-HDo?si=MGhfI33JHJoEJksG

He is basically a pissed off wanna be buyer of a Ford Bronco.

For any auto manufacturer to “fast-track” smells like a mess if you ask me!

 

[Six Turboed]

Better than the I6 Hurricane? The engine has been out for a few years and seems to be fine. I have had a couple hiccups but add in some computer works and seems to be fine. Plenty of power, good gas mileage and run likes a champ,, so far. I really don't think they would put out an engine just for it to burn up in a year or two. These engines are nice and quiet and if a person needs loud and lots of HP go buy a Corvette or an 800 HP Hemi, the new 1500s are a fine truck. A lot better than some of the others out there for sure. HA!

There is no more hemi, that's the problem.

Turbo 3L is great in a grocery getter 1500. 2500 not so much.

 

[jws123]

Meanwhile Im hoarding hemi engines/blocks lmfaooo

what i do is people put em on facebook all the time with bad cams for $100-200 lol i grab em have fixed many rams this way.

Perhaps Carlos has re-discovered the 1932 revolutionary Ford Flathead V8?

Thereeeeeeeeeeee it is! A Beemer Screamer!

Over 500 HP in the 2500s is good HP for any truck. These things will pull a dang house or two!

It'd probably be a nice option in a charger with a stick.

You turbo guys are just focused on that 0 to 60. HD's have even less HP than half tons, for a reason. That reason is why there are no turbos in an HD.

Can you expand on that comment ? My “HD” Ram 2500 has a Turbo.

Sure! Just not 6,000 pound (empty) truck, please.

There's a reason the 6.4 in the cab and chassis are "detuned" down to something like 375 hp when its the same 6.4 in the regular 2500 and 3500s. It's for longevity when working hard like it's supposed to be used for.

Smaller turbo'd gas motors are great for grocery getters but day in and day out working it hard.... it more then likely won't last long.

 

[Six Turboed]

^^^^^Being that this is new for lack of a better word (because the motors are not new nor is the concept) only time will make that decision. Turbos on motors have been around for a long time. I would find it highly unlikely that these motors will not last. We shall see?

Time made that decision for many previous engines. Read about it.
