An inline 6 is so vibration free when you first drive them it feels like they aren’t running. They make peak torque from 1400rpm straight to redline and the depth of your wallet is the only limiting factor in power potential. They just make power everywhere, down low, midrange, up top, if you’re in the right gear you hit the gas and go! It’s true they don’t make the noise of a V8 but thankfully they also don’t make the noise of a V6.

That way you can have some fun and mod your car instead of putting all your money into a payment. And don’t think those B58’s aren’t going to have leaky gaskets and problems when they’re hitting 120,000 miles, easy to talk about reliability with 40,000 miles and two years of warranty left.

Going to walnut blast it next year, do the oil filter housing gaskets and a valve cover and gasket at the same time preventatively maybe $1000 for all that and the year after that I’m going to do a turbo upgrade and while I’m down there I’m going to do the oil pan gasket. Anyway my point is if you’re young don’t overspend just to have something new and flashy that’s not what the car scene is about, you need to have enough left over to actually enjoy life.

Nothing sounds better with an open exhaust than it does with a proper exhaust setup. V6 sounds completely different than an I6 etc etc etc - not everything is about the amount of cylinders, and no engine should be dumping sound straight into the atmosphere without a proper exhaust setup.

Oh, and an FYI, I personally don't like those roller lifters that lose the needle bearings in them and wipe out the cam. But then again, I hate Tritons also, which are Ford as you probably know. And that reminds how many Ecoboost's have giving up the ghost as well as every damn GM LS 5.3 that has engine issues that I've worked on.

[@SovereignKnight74]

That Ancel battery tester is pretty cool. I'm going to have to look at getting one of those. Since my car is a push to start, it will either crank or it will not.. so I can't gauge on starter behavior to know if my battery is weak! A tester like that would be perfect to avoid the dreaded, no start scenario! As for the Hurricane I6, I'm not quite sure yet... I guess we'll have to see it installed in a performance car, see how it performs and holds up, and let time speak for it's reputation.

[@quickbadger]

I drove ford Broncos and F-150s with both 302 V8s and 300 I6s. The 302 had a little more power, but the 300 was just as good. IMO, the debate isn't 8 vs. 6 cylinders; it is about size (displacement) period. Little engines start hitting a wall around 100,000 miles when you work them.

[@Dryceman]

The hurricane engine will wear out 3-4 times faster than a naturally aspirated V8 Hemi and if it gets to 100,000 miles without issues, and that’s a big IF, even with forged internals …. you’re going to have loads of issues. Let’s talk when a good portion of hurricane engines hit 100k+ miles.

The only non wear and tear item I had to have repaired was the 6 CD Changer which I had a new changer put in it with a local old timer like me, I'm 72. He had it out of the dash in less than 5 minutes and back in the car in 5 days. The Charger has 33,500 miles on the 5.7L V8 and the only thing I have added to it is a OIL CATCH CAN. I put a new set of tires on it at 33,000 because I have too much fun laying down some rubber. With the new set of tires I have learned a good lesson and only did one burn out since they were new. I am only putting between 3500 and 5000 miles a year on it. One oil change a year with Mobile 1 or Pennzoil Full Synthetic for both cars. My wife drives the Altima and the HEMI is mine,LOL.

It doesn’t have a physical oil dipstick, the spark plugs aren’t easy to get too, how long will the electric water pumps last and do they cost a fortune to change?

Hi Racer X, I can definitely agree that the Hurricane has some nice punch and if memory serves me there are two available in the Wagoneer and I drove the base one via a rental and it had punch. However, I am hearing RAMs with that engine are having all sorts of reliability issues so this is why I would have considerable reservations owning one.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Well. I'll say what I've have heard as of late being a major issue. So basically, there's a thermostat issue that is causing engines to overheat/blow because a cheap plastic piece within the thermostat snaps and sits in place preventing the engine from cooling down. This is happening at very low mileage (5-20k mile)wagoneers with hurricane regardless of the variant in the car. It's getting fixed and dealers are addressing the issue,so I'd wait for them to recall them first or wait another year before buying them(tho other issues seem to be electrical with the wagoneer that may pass over to the new 1500s).

[@warlo5515]

This engine in an American truck has me very excited to see the power potential with mods and tuning. This engine has the same specs and technology that the bmw engines have that are easily capable and reliable handling big power at higher rpm. I would love to be a part of creating a big single turbo kit for these, especially for the new RHO truck owners where they can most likely make enough power in mods to beat the predecessor 6.2TRX. Then make people realize these engines aren’t a joke. Also in hp numbers, we’ve always wanted to see a 6.4 in a 1500 Ram. The HO Hurricane power number wise is like putting a 6.4 in a 1500.

I loved how smoothly it rode and the self leveling suspension while towing but the Hemi was just weak compared to the tuned Raptor. So 22 months later I was back in a Raptor and the 93 PRX tune was loaded two days later. It’s been a little over two years with this Raptor and it is still running great. The power is fun and there when I need it. Maybe if I hadn’t had a tuned Raptor before driving the Hemi I would have thought it is fine but I just love the low end torque of a boosted motor! Almost forgot to add, if I had been paying attention that the Raptor R was coming out I would’ve just waited a little while longer and bought one of them but finances got tight last year for a few months so I couldn’t just trade in this Raptor for one.

love my 2013 RAM w/ hemi. Still on the fence about this. Turbos are tough on an engine....will it last 200,000 miles like a naturally aspirated v8? At $70,000 purchase price it needs to.

The wagoneer has been out 2 model years, and they are still having major electrical issues

I just drove a Ram Rebel with the SO Hurricane, and man, is it impressive. Leaves the 5.7 Hemi in the dust. I drove it up a mountain, and the midrange torque is very impressive. People are being too negative about these things. I'm really excited to see what it does in the new Charger.

The problem is if you actually use a truck for by kind of hauling with weight. Your gas mileage tanks. TFL did a video saying it was actually worse than hemi with e torque

[@AP383BB]

@carlwemple6075 their test was up a mountain. They have yet to test it on flat surfaces to my knowledge (not saying the same isn't true, I just haven't seen the video). Also, while this may matter to some consumers, the vast majority of owners will never even tow with their truck. Also, the EPA doesn't care about economy while towing. They only test in ideal situations and they care even more about smog rating than MPG. The hemi was one of the worst smog rated engines on the market. The hurricanes are much better and get better EPA ratings. That's what stops Stellantis from having to pay as much fines.

Just more stuff to break on that engine look at the eco boost it's got problems when it gets higher mileage that engine will do the same

I work at landrover dealership and we had or have many trade ins or auction of mixed kinds of wagoneers. Ive driven the grand wagoneer with the v8 and it is comfortable, roomy, and when it comes to power and sound, its good! Also driven the inline 6 turbo HO wagoneers and yea its faster, but my spark of it was just, "eh its ok for what it is, just fast". Im a sound guy, if it doesnt sound good, i wont own one! Maybe trade my srt durango for the grand wagonner with the v8 class for the roominess and some sound it makes. Stellantis, should make a manual transmission variant of their inline 6 turbo HO, maybe were talk then. 😎👍

My battery tester: If I’ve even a suspicion, throw it out & replace. 🤔

[@chuckz28]

This tester is cheaper than a battery and you can use it over and over again. No sense in shotgunning parts when you can diagnose for much cheaper. I checked his link and when you click the 40% off coupon before adding to cart it was only 24 bucks.

​@@chuckz28you can take your car to any auto parts store and they will check your battery for free

225 Slant 6 had a reputation for reliability and durability. I owned many late 60's dodges & Plymouth models with the 225. I will get a RAM 1500 next year. And it will be a i6.

Does this hurricane have an oil dipstick???

[@zilksmooth]

Hello no
