If we are going to create combos that don’t exist in the real world to make things fair for the Hemi, I want the Ram’s 3.92s for my 6.2. ?

Why not the 4.10s from the previous gen HDs or the 4.30s out of my Tundra?

So, how does the OP make a large phone fit in the small charger again, by racing a Hemi powered truck?   Kind of impressive how quickly this one got off of the tracks....

Well I see the "wanderer" is still out wandering around coming up with excuses and totally missing the point of what I was saying!  Go Figure

 

Here is what I meant in plain dumb english for him because he has more excuses than anyone trying to debate than I've ever seen:

 

1. "Most" of the Ram guys I know think there so called "hemi" (which isn't a hemi) is the baddest around. They think the 5.3L is weak, because they have a 40 HP advantage, along with 20 LB TQ also. 

 

2. We as consumers do not have many choices when it comes down to what the manufacturers give us. The weight, gears in transmission, and rear end gear ratio are set by them. IF YOU DON"T LIKE THAT, TAKE IT UP WITH THEM. It's not GM's fault that they offer a new 10 spd and decided to cut weight on their trucks. Stop making excuses.

 

3. I never once said the Ram "hemi" s@cked! I said I like the engine, I just stated that those Ram guys talk how good their Hemi's are?? Which goes back to point topic #1. The fact that a truck with a disadvantage of 40HP 20TQ outperforms a more powerful truck is what I was getting at. Those are the FACTS and it's in the articles I posted! 

 

4. This totally lost individual "wanderer" is missing the point all together. The truck that ANYONE OF US can buy off the lots RIGHT NOW. THE 5.3L OUTPERFORMS the 5.7L so called Hemi trucks! Not the truck that is found "wandering around" in the "wanderer's" mind!

 

Now move on with your day, or keep wandering around, that's your choice little fella!  Hopefully you understand now, can stop making excuses, "what if's", and "but, buts"!

 

To everyone else, this was never a d!ck measuring contest for me, it was a simple point that I proved with the 2 articles I posted! 

 

Ah. I was hoping you would chime in again today, you just made my day!

 

Actually "Most" of the Hemi guys I know couldn't care less what engine you have in your Chevy, as for the last 8 years we've been destroying Chevy's with their weak 6 and 8 speeds.

 

As to whether the 2019 Chevy 5.3/10 outperforms the 2019 Ram/5.7, you're wrong there as well.


Chevy 5.3 (RST) 0-60 = 6.6 seconds

Chevy 5.3 (TB) 0-60 = 6.4 seconds

Ram 5.7 (Laramie) 0-60 = 6.1 seconds

Chevy 6.2 (10 speed) 0-60 = 6.0 seconds

Check out that hemi eh? 1 second slower than the "mighty" 6.2 and that's while being down 2 gears lol. Absolutely destroys the 5.3. Just like I said for the last 15 posts.

I'd take the 3.0L duramax and drop it in my Ram with absolutely no hesitation. It really is too bad we can't pick and choose.

Ram so called Hemi ran it in 6.2 Secs

Chevy with mighty 6.2L ran it in 5.4 Secs

 

That is almost a whole second!!  Get your facts straight. That was in a true comparison test on SAME DAY!!! 

 

and my second article

The Tundra needs 4.30's because it only has 6 gears. Do the math on the gear ratios, I haven't done that for Chevy but for Ram's ZF 8 speed, the 3.21 has a lower first gear than the Tundra's 6 speed with 4.30's. Yes you read that right. And not only does it have a lower first gear, it has a higher final gear for better MPG while cruising on the highway.

 

The Tundra does nothing well other than perhaps reliability.

Even better. And hey, I’ll even be nice and allow the Tundra to use the excellent 10 speed trans in my fantasy truck world. Tell you what, I wouldn’t sleep on the Tundra if it had more than a 6 speed. When it came out it was one of, if not the quickest truck available. 

 

I don’t care about the rest of those Motor Trend results just posted, but even Hellen Keller could drive a 6.2 to 60 in less than 6 seconds. I believe there was some kind of remark in the MT article that it was hotter than piss on test day, but I don’t care to dig around.
 

I regularly rip off 5.5-5.7 second runs and have hit 5.4 once. And that’s on the street, not a track where they test everything for magazines.

Also, on the MT tests, neither of those 5.3 trucks are a 10 speed. 10 speed became standard on TB for 2020 and still isn’t available on RST unless paired with the 3.0 or 6.2.

 

I don’t really want my dog in this fight, just putting the facts out there. ?

I don't care how fast it goes. Reliabity is more important to me. I'll stick with GM.

This keeps getting funnier, y'all don't realize how bizzare you sound. Cherry picking data that proves your point, discarding other data because "it's too hot outside" or suddenly it's important that the 5.3 needs the 10 speed when the 8 speed gets its @ss brutally handed to it etc etc. I could do this all day, ya got blinders on.

 

The truth of the matter is (which I've said from post #1): the Hemi performs right where it should. In between the 5.3 and the 6.2. You can change the packaging all you want to favour one truck vs another, but that doesn't change how the engine performs, just how the truck performs. You don't even need road tests, just look at the HP ratings. HP never lies.

If this closed minded individual would read for comprehension. Then my article states the 5.3L had the 8 speed transmission and ran a 6.1 sec time to 60. So stating that the new T1 trucks with the 8 speed gets destroyed is even more comical. It runs better with a 10 speed. 

 

It just shows how truly adolescent “the wanderer” really is

Pot, meet kettle. You cherry picked the one test of a 6.2 in magazine history that was 6 seconds or above, and even the magazine knew it’s bunk with their disclaimer. I can post a half dozen other road tests that prove that. 

 

As far as the 10 speed part, I was simply correcting your inaccurate statement. You stated the 2019 5.3 trucks had the 10 speed. They didn’t.

Sweet cheeks, I gave you some motor trend links and even helpfully snipped out the relevant content. When comparing 8 speed vs 8 speed, the Ram did 6.1 vs 6.4 and 6.6.  I'd say that's pretty definitive, but maybe it was too hot that day.

So when the 6.2L rips off a 5.4 secs to 60 compared to a 6.2 secs to 60 in the so called Hemi. On the SAME DAY comparison.  That’s not getting destroyed.  You are way to comical. Give up man

 

it comes down to what I stated before. The 5.3 hangs with and can beat a 5.7L

Actually I didn't say that (though I could have worded that better). The last item (which you unhelpfuly cut off) shows where I explicitly state which truck is the 10 speed. My point was, the 6.2 with 10 speed was barely fast enough to beat the ram with 8 speed, so no chance the 5.3 was going to do the job. The 5.3/8 poor results shows how much packaging matters. Comparing apples to apples, the Hemi destroys the 5.3. End of story. Lots of tests on youtube show this, as well as comments on this forum and the 3 Ram forums I'm part of.

How about the "same day" comparison few posts back where a guy complained his 6.2 couldn't overtake the Hemi? And you think the 5.3 is going to the job eh?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I read through that and I won't lie, my eyes rolled at some of the quirks about how it can turn off the trailer braking for example but I can see how it could help control or even up the torque applied to the ground with each wheel in a boat ramp scenario. But of course what it can't do is increase the torque to the wheels if the need is there as it ends up being like driving the four wheel drive version of a two wheel drive ( high range that is ). So far the neighbor that ended up with the 3.0 duramax with the max tow package which meant the 3.73 gears and high range only, I think its been doing ok for what he has been towing but doubt he ventures off into the soft stuff with his holiday trailer. He may have towed his dads river boat locally with it ( he always used his 6.6 duramax before ), I'll have to ask him sometime if he got into a lack of power to the wheels situation as after all that engine produces a lot of torque at low speed once the turbo winds out a bit and I think it has the 10 speed and if so they have a pretty good first gear ratio at 4.70 I see which is vastly better than the 3 or four speed overdrive models of years ago.
