Would you buy another Hemi - Poll?

[6.7CumminsDrvr]

I’d buy another one. All manufacturers have some kind of issue.........

 

[Bowzer]

I voted yes. Other consideration would be the Ford twin turbo 3.5L which seems to be holding up well so far and provides a little better fuel mileage.
As much as I do not like the known lifter issue, I do like the way the Hemi performs in these 1/2 tons.

I would definitely do hemi again I have a 3rd gen ram and it has 260k and it's still going strong....take care of your vehicles and they take care of you i love that truck and will probably get another one after this one goes

 

[Tony Stark]

I have 10K on my 6.4. The other 2 were 5.7s. Happy with all three and would buy again.

I bought my 2017 RAM 2500 5.7l from a buddy in November 2018 and it has about 24k on it then. It had 58k now and I love the truck. I hope to get several more years out of it. Only gripe so far is the noise the a/c fan makes.

I voted yes. I was a Ford guy for years until I bought my 2019 RAM 2500 6.4L. It has held up good, I can pull anything I want. Don't have to worry about diesel. That doesn't mean that I don't think about whether I should have bought a diesel, I do I still wonder about, but I am VERY happy with my Hemi. I would buy another one. My son who works in the refineries has driven both Hemis and diesels and told me this past weekend, when he buys a new truck, he is buying a Hemi.

I absolutely would buy another hemi and It will probably be 6.4 with the 8 speed in a 2500. I get 17 mpg on the highway even with 35's on my 2016 ram 1500 with the 5.7 and normally loaded down with fishing gear and kayaks. I also just started pulling a 6,000 pound travel trailer which it does quite nicely. I have 112,000 miles now and besides regular maintenance I have only had to replace my water pump at 100k miles. I love the get up and go of this truck and the it sounds great to me even stock. I hope to have this truck till about 300k and then get myself a 2500 with the 6.4

Nice thats a lot of driving. I voted yes. I've had no issues with 3 Rams now. Every brand has issues, my wifes Ford was a POS. So I got her a Durango with the 3.6.

 

[MoparX]

I also have a 3G 5.7 Hemi with 260K miles, original engine and heads. Still runs strong. Definitely would buy another. I'll be rebuilding this as stroker. Will likely get a Challenger or 300 as well for daily driver, preferably 6.4, maybe another 1500.

 

[HemiTO]

As of right now no. This is my first big truck and im not too happy with the ac problem and the thud, even if i bought used. A truck this new shoildnt be having these problems. Ive never owned a car before that had these problems and they just tell me is normal. So come time to upgrade ill probably go ford. I know hate in me all you want for saying ford but i never had a si gle problem with anybof the fords i had. BTW i still like my ram a lot and enjoy it every single day i drive it!

Can't see I disagree with you. I love the way my RAM Laramie looks, drives and highway fuel economy is actually pretty good. But the issues, starting with the heating/ac, exhaust manifold, recalls waiting on parts for years culminating with almost having an accident due to the axle pin recall. Then a complete electrical meltdown that took over 2 months to diagnose and repair. Still love my truck but quality-wise these are not the ones to go for if you plan to keep it for the long haul.

 

[CfoxRam14]

I have had 4 Hemi’s and never had an issue but after having my Cummins I could never go back to a Hemi. Love my Rams!!

 

[misfit77]

I forgot to mention. My regular open diff had to be rebuilt at 90k.
Apparently this happens often.

Unexcusable!

Which diff do you have, 3.21 or 3.92?

 

[Tunaman]

Absolutely....all day long!! Misfit says others are making turbo trucks that are more dependable and better fuel economy....I challenge that!

 

[anchorsaweigh]

Only if FCA would get their **** together and start providing good customer service and address the recurring design problems.

 

[tones2SS]

I'm not sure at the moment.
Not even sure I will buy a truck again. Currently on my second truck and yes, it is an amazing machine in the snow, but that's the ONLY reason I bought a truck. I'm thinking I may buy a car next. Not positive on that yet. Maybe an suv.
If I do buy another truck, I am either going to buy another Ram, depending on how well they fixed the MDS system, or a Ford F150 Roush supercharged. Maybe the TRX, if it's not stupidly overpriced.

 

[Burla]

With such an overwhelming number I wont go back and count people who can't vote, I'd assume those numbers would mirror these numbers as that is the law of statistical probability.

Generally shaping up

85% love the hemi

15% wouldn't buy another

I do wonder how that would stack up to other popular engines like the chevy 350 or the Ford 351 twins (c and w). I would wager the hemi has similar popularity as other popular engines, fca for the win. 15% dissatisfaction is no insignificant number, but I doubt that would be enough to get them to change anything.

 

[DeeZee]

From a 4th gen RAM perspective, yes but only if they wrapped a better quality vehicle around the engine. I have 5th gen friends who feel the same way.

 

[LeesEvoX]

as long as my 6.4 hemi lasts AT MINIMUM as long as my 5.7l (175,000 miles) i will buy another Hemi.
