Is the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Diesel A 5.0-Liter V-8?
"Is the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Diesel A 5.0-Liter V-8?
By: Mike Levine Posted: 09-11-08 00:01 PT © 2008 PickupTrucks.com Of all the sources we've had provide information about future products, this one ranks among the most unique, because a vehicle, not a person, is the source. The all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup has apparently revealed the oft-speculated displacement for Chrysler's upcoming 2010 light-duty diesel engine." http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/new...-0-liters.html

Well that is really obvious. GM, Ford, and Chrysler all have a light duty diesel coming next year. Where is Nissan and Toyota's offering? Huh, I guess Nissan will get theirs from Chrysler and it is only Toyota without it. I wonder if Chrysler can give Nissan a two-mode hybrid to sell...?????

Next question on the Ram ; six or eight ? Yes, the title somewhat assumes and or suggests a (vee) eight but.....is that certain ?
5.0L...... hmmmm...... larger than 'needed'....... still leaves the door ( wide) open to a cut down inline six.

Cummins prepare a 5.6L V8 and a V6 4.2L, I guess this new 5.0L is a new addition to their new family of "small-block diesels" (the current I6 is the "big-block diesel") http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/d..._v8/index.html

That's a good article - although I didn't take the time to find a date and it looks a little old ( 2006 - 2007 ?). I thought there was more to this ie it had been somewhat superceded or had significantly evolved.

Well, there you go. It does reference 2007 LA 'air' and a Mopar 5.9L.
I do remember looking at some of the charts a ways back as well.

So if the Cummins diesel is anywhere near as efficient, 4.2 liters is actually a lot bigger than a Ram 1500 would need. 3.5 liters would probably be plenty! |

Re: Is the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Diesel A 5.0-Liter V-8?
Hmmmm, I can't find that. Perhaps you could show where that date is used.
Possibly there is confusion here about which article is referenced. The relevant remarks are and have been about [i]this http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/d..._v8/index.html - that SD posted in the thread - not the article that was used to start the thread - which does have that posted date http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/new...-0-liters.html ************************************* From the text content itself, it appears fairly certain this ( again for clarity - SD's linked article at http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/d..._v8/index.html - was written in 2006 - and probably based on information no more current than in the earlier half of that year. Some of the information used is even older than that. This concerns the 4.2 and 5.6, and not the 5.0.

For comparison, MB's game changin' King Kong '2.2'L took four years - from start to finish. Basically they were just about 'ready' - and then a bunch of stuff happened - including some really important emissions standard changes. Obviously ( for good reason ), the 6.7 - (and 5.9) get and got, 'priority'. Anyway, here we are now - technically speaking with three possibilities for configuration. I6 ( long shot - not likely but ....),V6 and V8 - which is the best guess. Future Two Mode - Diesel Hybrid - and more advanced 'diesel basics' are probably the main drivers on the displacement change and (apparent) choice. That ( 2M) also 'probably' makes the vee eight much more likely although there are other considerations that favor it as well. Personally, I rather have it as an I6 - unless and until we get better information that goes the otherway.

Makes me wonder if the article had been copied from elsewhere.
