Has That Thing Got a hemi in it
Any one have one of the new Hemi engines yet ? I am looking at a SWB 4x4 1500 Reg Cab, Laramie with the Hemi. I was pretty suprised to find out that Dodge is the only manufacturer left makeing a SWB reg cab with a leather option. Anyway 345 Hp does sound SWEEET. My neighbor offered plan price (friends and family) so I am thinking about it with the 60 mos 0% deal.

Doc.......... can you say "gas toilet"????? Those hemi's can suck the gas down too. But if I were you and wanted a hot rod pickup; wait a bit, Dodge is coming out with a bigger hemi in the near future. That should really be a cool engine! ;o)

 , Aren't all gas engines in trucks guzzlers ? oops thats right they get the same fuel economy as the diesel. !!!! I think Right now the bigger Hemi is just part of the Rumor mill but if they do come out with it it wont help me. It'll wind up in a muscle car or a mercedes or even a 2wd road truck, but honestly I think thats about it. I do hear they ARE fast. Going to test drive one next week after the 4th.

Yeah Doc, I need to get one of those engines Willie modifies for my Sea Ray. That 454 can suck down 10 gallons per hour on a good day. I heard the hemi's are pretty quick.

About 13 is the number that gets tossed here in conversations on fuel economy. The next line is about the power and having a hemi!

Art, I wouldnt be suprised if 13 was on a good day. Hey Chief I know what you mean about the sea Ray. We used to have a 34' with twin 350's. That was when gas was cheap (er) and it still was a small fortune to cruise or fish for the day. Do you keep yours in the water or trailer ? One of our neighbors at the lake has a Donzi 454....wow is it the Shi$% ! I mean that thing sounds like a dragster comeing down the beach. Way tooo much fun in a 20' 2 seater !. My wifes office is on Anchor bay between Lake Huron and Erie. At one of the Metro perks here on the water they have a really nice boat show at the end of every year. You get to see all of the cigarette style boats with double and triple 600's cruiseing the river. We could talk boats a long time old friend, thats another passion entirely.

I keep the Sea Ray on a trailer. It is lot easier for me to keep an eye on it that way and the problems of leaving it in the water such as agae growth, mound, and mildew are minimized.
It is like pulling the circus to town when I pull her to the launch ramp but it is really not that bad to launch and retrieve. Just have not had the time this year to use it yet. I was going to get it ready this week but some new jobs came up and now the weather is crap. The Cummins makes pulling that beast real nice.

Well I bought the Hemi last night. Got the Friends and family plan with 0%. 1500 SWB reg cab, hemi, Laramie package with every single friggen option. The 20" wheels are very nice. First impressions are that it does not seem that fast after getting used to the Duramax which is FAST from 0-60. Sounds way tooo cool. Drives nice, very tight on the corners. Infinity stereo. They need to take some lessons from Ford on interior deseign and seating but overall a VERY nice truck. I cant complain my wife has driven the bronco for 8 years and put 97,500 miles on it. So it gets a 4 sale sign today.

Just talking with another freind last nite, he gets ten plus with the hemi for mileage. He just got his two weeks ago and only has the first tankful done. Says it does pull his boat better then his old truck.

I am sure thats about right. Especially when you put your foot in it just to hear it rumble. . Anyone who is the least bit concerned about fuel economy should steer clear of the Hemi I would think. The on board computer when I looked at it going down the highway was 7 mpg. But with 345 hp....Who cares !!
