Things Are About To Change At Stellantis

This literally has nothing to do with Trump. The problem was Carlos Tavares and his lack of understanding the U.S. car market and who Dodge caters to. Add dealers that were jacking up car prices and you had a recipe for diaster.

[@DennisSleiman]

@@carter98nc in the last couple years we have had thousands of UAW jobs that have been lost. You have an International UAW President who did nothing but stand in line with the previous administration and play follow the leader to the EV market. Trump gets in and it has all turned around. So yes it’s got a lot to do with President Trump and nothing to do with anything else.

I think using the 6.4 as the base hemi motor for Ram would be one hell of a fine idea,

It would probably require a different cross member to handle the location of the 6.4 starter and oil filter.

[@JasPlun]

6.4l Hemi is more reliable than the 5.7l, but it has a worse flaw when the Lifter /Cam failure hits it is almost always a death sentence for the engine. Tolerances are tighter and when one does fail the metal destroys them. That being said it happens far less than it did on the 5.7l and we have had great luck with the 6.4l engines in our work fleet. The 6.4l is my go to engine as of today. I like it way better than anything GM or Ford makes now and I LOVE the 8 speed German Made Transmission it rocks!

[@pgfault]

Word has it the Hellcat oil pump fixes the problem on all Hemis.

[@JasPlun]

If it was my personal truck I would certainly invest in a high volume oil pump, but being a work truck the company will run them hard. They usually trade them in on new trucks at 100k miles so we never had any issues, but when the pandemic hit and work trucks were not to be found we had to run them a lot longer which meant we had to deal with more break downs than usual. Our experiences have been the 6.4l is super reliable and usually do not see things go wrong until after 140k miles. We work them hard too in Oil and Gas, Utilities, Rail Road fields. I hope they bring it back. Even our company is considering jumping to Ford if they do not keep V8 engines. Six Cylinders will not cut it in our line of work.

[@ciro356]

Slightly off-topic but regarding Pontiac, I absolutely love the 53-54 purple Pontiac that appears in your videos' intro. I am also quite affectioned to the brand itself as it had been for quite a long time the sporting brand of GM, apprix from the late Fifties to the early Seventies, and even beyond they sometimes came up with nice cars such as the 97-2003 Grand Prix coupe.

[@NoiserToo]

[@JeffBoggess-s4e]

This is no time for timidity. Put a 5.7 Hemi V8 and a 6.4 V8 and a 3.6 V6 in the Dodge Daytona. Add at least one new car to the Chrysler lineup. Improve the Dodge Hornet’s quality. Lower the sticker prices across the board. Carve out CDJR into an American corporation (the 21st Century Chrysler Corporation?) that would be chartered by Congress (this has been done before) and that would be, at least initially, wholly-owned by Stellantis. Install a well-known American auto executive (maybe Tim Kuniskis?) as the new CEO of the new corporation and take a page from Lee Iacocca’s playbook.

[@YzeGuyVex]

Gas prices are going up in the next 6 months...good luck to you

[@ottopartz1]

One of the biggest costs in gasoline is the fact that we can't refine enough of it in the US. The lighter grades of crude are shipped to South America and Brazil to get refined and then back to the US on tankers. If the administration was really smart, they would fast track the construction of a couple refineries in remote spots where the local population would be a minimal obstacle. The last refinery built in the US was around 50 years ago, there's been some expansion and efficiency added to current refineries but nothing new in 50 damn years.

[@Dan-wt7jx]

@ottopartz1 one of the campaign promises was fast tracking approvals for including environmental for any US company making major infrastructure investments here. So the Trump team would be on board with helping get new refineries built.

[@Daniel-l3x7f]

The opportunity window for CDJR is going close quickly if GM and Ford decide to push their V-8s. Their engineers were not laid off for cheaper inexperienced engineers from other countries. Therefore, GM and Ford may be able to bring products online much faster than CDJR. This will erode CDJRs market share ability if they do not act quickly. Can they do it?

[@phatstackmack152]

Before Mopar even thinks about bringing back the 5.7 or 6.4 Hemi, they need to fix the Lifter/Cam issue. If they do bring back the Hemi to the 1/2 Ram, they need to offer it in the base model trim and not just the pricey luxury trucks. Bring back the Hemi to ALL trim models and the SHORTY 1/2 TON.

[@79DJFrost]

I love my 6.4L in my 2500 (2015), but the 6.4L NEEDS an update & a power increase. 410hp/429 lb/ft is a bit weak for it's size.

My question still is - are the current emissions fines going to go away? Because that has been the cause for recent $10k increases in price for the last 3 years. Are they doing away with those fines?

[@cudatali]

I’ve been suggesting the SRT392 over the BGE6.4 for ever, either one is the only engine that makes sense, by now I hope they also worked on developing a smaller V8 for future platforms as well.

[@littlestinker9716]

Changing to the 6.4L makes perfect sense. Hurricane 6 can be salvaged by bringing it back later as a much simpler, normally-aspirated base engine.

Agreed Stellantis needs to get the stick out of their backsides that seems to be preoccupying their thoughts and leading to gross procrastination. They however must develop products that are durable, reliable, and simpler to repair and put products in driveways that people once again to a good degree can fix on their own. Barring that, all consumers will see is more shiny new crap that will cost too much to buy and then keep on the road!

[@TXGRunner]

I was a Ford guy until they turned truck design over to the minivan folks with the FUGLY 97 F150. Meanwhile CDPJ were killing it: 94 Ram looked like a truck, 97 Dakota, 93 Viper - amazing, 97 Prowler, even the PT cruiser was attractive. I bought my first new vehicle, 2000 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4. I thought maybe Ford was back with 2005 Mustang - from a distance, looked fantastic - up close it looked cheap and fake. 2006 Charger looked nice and the Hemi was back. Then the Challenger was back. My third new car was a custom ordered (mil sales) B5 Blue 2010 Challenger SRT8. Now they've ruined everything since Marchionne died.

As for the Hurricane……granted, I don’t tow, but I have been very impressed with the Hurricane 6…both versions. I am not thrilled without the 91 octane required on the HO version……. Especially in North TX, where it is not available…have to go to 93…. I would prefer 89 which in my case makes my Charger HEMI and Hurricane 6 match.
