I would gove it a 90% chance that he is right on the year.

is that due to no more V8's for them OR is there a new V8? or did he not say

I just read on Flipboard today that within a year or two GM is gonna be making their truck beds out of carbon fiber, to be introduced in their more premium line first.

Probably a DI penstar V6 with optional turbo. That seems to be the way things are going. Jus sayin.

Man if they kill off the Hemi I sure hope mine last for a long time.
I do not want a V6 turbos or not, and they have way to much garbage on the diesels amymore.

Thats what i was thinking but hoping wasnt the truth...

 

[Ramnewbie]

I'm in no way a mechanical engineer but it would seem to me that they could come up with an OHC design for the Hemi, I think that would take care of a lot of problems.

He would not say anything about the Turbo V6 but we know that the replacement.

They will make awesome kabooms (thats the sound of a Twin Turbo V6 blowing up.) at a low milage or at least expensive turbo replacement at 40,000 miles.

depends....Ford did it, sure they had their issues at first but the Ecoboost has proven to be a pretty good setup. my buddy has a ecoboost and its tuned. He has over 70k on it with no issues so far and he doesnt maintain it very well either. I have been telling him for almost 2 years to swap out his plugs and gap them tighter since he is running higher boost with the tuner i set him up with. Finally 2 weeks ago he calls me and says his boost has been low lately and when he went WOT it thru a multiple cylinder misfire code. I said CHANGE YOUR F'N PLUGS!!! and gap them tighter. I hear from him 2 days later, hey I changed my plugs and the truck is running great and my boost is back to normal

Nick,

I agree ford did a good job. I had a 3.5 ecoboost. I am worried about the pentastar

I loved the sound of the turbos so i was always running it to death. I can only imagine how thin that 20w oil was sheard to.
