The Hemi engine in the Ram truck is a pushrod engine.
Do you even need a pickup? I live in rural Minnesota and have a 4 wheel drive Ranger that hasn't been on the road for a couple years, get around fine in a couple VW Golf TDIs. If the roads ain't plowed it's too dangerous to drive anyway and I sit it out. Hauling stuff? Just hook up the trailer. Think about it for a minute- $30k plus for a 4WD pickup that gets 15 MPG vs. $20k for a decent small car that gets 30MPG and does the same job? With the $10k saved you can buy a new Guzzi and the $$$ saved on fuel will fuel the Guzzi!
Do you mean to say Jasper xmissions aren't crapola? ;D
But if you want HP per pound you need overhead cams, which give more accurate valve timing too. That's why even the big bore diesels built by Cummins, Daimler, etc. have gone to overhead cams, and they only turn 2100 RPMs at most. And if you really need a pickup, get a 21st century one with aluminum body and OHC turboed engines like the new F150.
While we're musing - here's a topic -Modern Direct Injection Motors - slightly more fuel efficient, but time bombs with the heads/intake valves and carbon deposits?Discuss! :pop
I wonder if they got too clever by half and will go back to injectors upstream from the valves.
My newest vehicle is 99 so I don't have that problem...But what about Diesels? They have had direct injection for 110 years...??? Pour that Seafoam into the intake to dissolve deposits... The deposits are composed of what? And where does the "what" go when the Seafoam washes it away? Right into the rings.......
Carbon deposits on the intake valves, largely unburnt hydrocarbons that settle on the intake valves when open for the intake air charge.Not sure why diesels don't seem to have it, compression and efficiency differences?
Been pouring seafoam down the throat of my 87 Brat for the last 15 of 17 years I have owned it. Done once a year. Not direct injection but it sure burned some crap out the first 2 or 3 times I did it. At 2700 miles on the last oil change and still to the full line on the dipstick with 240k miles.
