Does anybody here own the hemi?

hey willy if i had your money i'd burn mine and go buy a brand new truck but the dodge is priced way lower than the bowtie and the blue oval.
phat, the "hemi" means the heads have hemispherical combustion chambers and an ohc.
not as many of the base models as one would expect. i cant believe a company would build a pickup truck with leather seats and power everything but i guess the pickup is the new minivan.

A HEMI is any engine with a semi hemispherically shaped combustion chamber. In other words if you were to take a ball and cut it in half, the combustion chamber in the head is shaped like that. If you want to get technical about it, most all of your overhead camshaft 4 bangers in front wheel drive cars are HEMIS. The current 5.7L and 6.1L HEMIS are still cam in block pushrod engines, not OHC(over head camshafts). DODGE makes a good truck and powertrain, the reason they are so cheap is there interiors. The newer DODGE's are known for squeeks and rattles after they get some age on em, and this brings down the resale value.

X2 ... When I was shopping for a new truck for work, I looked at just about everything on the market. Since the boss was paying for it, money wasn't a real issue... I loved the Dodges, until I compared their interior to a GMC's.. the contrast was like day and night... cheap, flimsy for the Dodge, plush for the GMC.. and the price was close on both of them. I went with the GMC and never looked back. (I still like the Dodge trucks, their Cummins Diesel is hard to beat..but they really need to work on the interiors if they want to be a ranking company again). Oh, and BTW, their small block Hemi is now standard on the Dodge Dakota..Tons of power for that truck..makes towing a breeze.... but you must get 4x4, otherwise you'll just spin your rear tires all over the place.

I love my GMC!! But I like the interior in Ford the best! I have always said that if I could take a Ford cab and install it in a GM power train you have a great truck!

Dodge make great barn fires!

my son has a rumble bee for the last five years had no trouble at all. he never let me drive it so i can not tell you anymore. but i dont think you can pull too many of those double decker train cars with it!

hey man....all these guys can have their ford and chevy trucks. I had the Hemi Ram for a little over a year. Had to sell it, but I will answer any questions I can. Great Truck! Tons of power and torque! I miss that truck

I do own a ford explorer, and I love it, but when it comes to a truck...I'm a Dodge man.
