    Cummins and petrol engine - is it a wise move?
    Meanwhile, the Ram HD is getting a new diesel - watch full story here ruclips.net/video/vQ8tFmpnOEs/видео.html

    I was hoping for a 7.2L Hemi. All it takes is a 4.00 stroke crank on the 6.4 The heads already flow well. The 6.4 needs more torque to compete.

      @ragingbull3406 i think direct connection/mopar already makes the 426 hemi in crate form. Thats 7L 606 hp 600 plus ft lbs of torque. Im sure itll never enter a production truck considering Stellantis has all but killed the hemis and V8s in general.

      Wont happen. A turbocharged 5.7 hemi will make more torque at much better fuel efficiency. Because the same block also comes as 7 liter, there will be enough cooling capacity around the cylinders for longevity.

    Absolutely nothing about this makes sense. Gasoline engines are typically picked by fleet managers and consumers based on the fact that they're ten thousand dollars or more or less than a diesel. I can't imagine they're gonna sell a single one of these. If they're a hundred horsepower down and it's an eight thousand dollar option.

    • @LetsDriveYT

      Ford’s Triton V10 was/is a great 310 hp gasoline alternative to diesel. Ran that in our 550 chassis Motorhome with full water and gas tanks, pulling a car, over the Wasatch Summit a few years back. No strain, no overheating, just solid mid-range pull.

    • @BillLaBrie
      @BillLaBrie 2 месяца назад

      It might be worth the $8k but not if it’s just a diesel that runs on gas. Diesels have a lot of problems thanks to EPA regs. Gas engines have fewer problems. Cummins has a shot at making a beast of a commercial gas engine from scratch that will satisfy the need for reliable towing power while also working as a hillbilly status symbol.

    Im not buying this video. I live in the motorcity Stellantis has packed up its HQ and mostly closed 2 very big assembly plants. Word is Jeep and Ram are moving 100% to mexico and both are on the chopping block. Turn a profit or they are done..maybe Ram should build its own Diesel power plant..just a thought.

    • @bikdav
      @bikdav 2 месяца назад +3

      That’s a good suspicion. Seeing that Cummins is on their own (in other words, NOT owned by Stellantis), I’m pretty certain that Cummins could sell that engine to other commercial truck makers.

      If it wasnt and everybody had the Cummins, Fiat would have put their own 6.7 in it long ago.

  • @thomasheer825
    @thomasheer825 3 месяца назад +13

    Why not simply take a look at the leaning tower of power, yep the old slant 6. You could build a 7 main bearing stroker 6 with a longer stroke and bigger pistons coupled with fuel injection and boost to achieve the same at a much lower cost. Sorry everyone is fixated on horsepower, but torque is the item that gets the job done. Look at the old Ford 300, people are putting boost on them and making that power, all from their home shop operations.

    • @MrThewhip333

      I couldn't agree with you more! Inline 6's were torque powerhouses, whether it's the Ford 300, my favorite, the Chrysler slant 6 or GM's inline 6. All three companies made good inline engines. One more thing, why in the hell can't this channel use a real human for narration?

  • @christopherjb274

    Can anyone, including who posted this, actually confirm any of this. I have not heard anything about cumins actually releasing this engine, let alone for use in Ram trucks, all i can seem to find is that its under development. Also i cannot find any confirmation that the 6.7 diesel in the ram trucks is being bumped to a higher displacement...again just rumors.

    A 6.7 gasser would not have the power curve of a diesel. It would still be a high torque engine (for a gasser) but what you're going to see is a higher horsepower number and lower torque. I could imagine something like 500-550hp, 600-650lbft.

    • @LetsDriveYT
      @LetsDriveYT  13 дней назад

      Basically, they’re trying to get diesel-like torque from gas engine, and keep it cleaner.
      Even the top configuration 300 hp / 660 lb ft doesn't sound impressive and ready to match what you get from a turbodiesel...

    I would love it if they just put the a new 3.0 Hurricane engine in the heavy duty trucks and then to make it even better make them hybrids so people wouldn't whine and b*tch that there was a a small engine in a heavy duty truck. The video is right, the Cummins Gas engine will have some down falls, it's gonna happen because again, Cummins is a diesel engine company. One thing I'm weirded out about is Dodge is using the Hurricane to replace the 5.7 hemi because the hurricane makes more horsepower and torque thanks to it's twin turbos, but not twin turbo the hemi? Just sayin🤷‍♂️

    @bigedmayra 3 месяца назад +3

    The Duke says, I'm a Ford guy but all this sounds pretty good on paper. Problem is it's going to make for an even more expensive truck that nobody's buying already. Ford included. They cost as much as a Dodge.
    Plus I don't know anybody that would want a 200 horsepower engine. The high torque will get you off the line but you may struggle at highway speeds with a load. They should have concentrated on improving the hemi. It looks like the 7.3 Godzilla from Ford (which I have one in my f-550) is what motivated Ram to do this. V-8 is golden in the United States.

    all engines must be EMISSIONS FREE. If it burns fuel it emits emissions and is banned.
    Even propane-natgas & hydrogen burning engines have emissions and will be banned.
    While hydrogen power cells will convert hydrogen into electricity with water emissions will be permitted and electric. HOWEVER, today, hydrogen powered vehicles cost 4X what electric or gas or diesel cost to operate so lots of luck making hydrogen viable.
    Whether you like EV of not, it is coming.
