Hemi vs. Pentastar opinions?
My 04 Ram has the 5.7 Hemi. Lots of torque. I have well over 120K on it and no maintinence done to the engine, I changed plugs and put a EGR valve in it at a little over 100 K. Sill Doesn't use a drop if oil. Hoping to get 175-200 K out of the truck, if I don't make it I doubt it will be because of the engine. I get about 16-18 MPG on the highway depending on how fast I am going (80 + really cuts the mileage) city is 14-15.
I would always go for a bigger engine over the smaller choice. The harder you work it the quicker it will wear out.
