Stellantis replacing hemi with 3.0L I-6 engines?

[ruffdog]

It looks like Stellantis is going all-in on the long awaited I-6 engine. It will be in Jeep, Ram, and Dodge lineups.

I had a 2019 Ram 1500 and now have a 2021 Ram 1500, both hemi engines. When I bought the 2019, I thought to myself - in five years, the V8 will probably be gone. may be getting closer.

If it makes the power they say, it could be a good replacement for the Hemi. It has what I call “spray on” cylinder liners, which Ford had some problems with on their 5.0 V8’s.

You mean Nickasil liners and it was GM, not Ford that had issues in their Vega's. Lots of them burned more oil than gas.

Knowing Stellantis (Pugeot) like I do, I bet they will too.

Don't really matter since pump gas will be 10 bucks a gallon by then.

Ford has had problems with them recently, starting in 2018 with the liners. It appears they corrected the problem but the first year was painful for some. It’s called Plasma Wire Arc Transfer Process.

Nickasil to me.

I'm always drawn to new engine technology. The Internal Combustion Engine has much more to offer as technology advances.

Well I will be impressed if it is 1/3 as reliable as "AMC's" straight six that Chrysler used for years in some of the Grand Cherokees and Wranglers.


Although a long six they are bullet proof.

My offroad buggy uses a HO 4.0L six out of a Cherokee. 272K miles never had the valve cover off. In the rev limiter at least once every time it's used.

Horsepower always needs fuel so it will be interesting what EPA rating and real mileage will end up to be. I see the lower HP engine recommends 91 octane and the HO requires it so that will cost more. Just the way more HP in a small package needs to be fed. I would assume it is a lighter package though.
