Who knows though, personally, besides getting horrible mileage ( I guess that's a moot point when no half ton V8 really shines in this category )I thought the 5.6 to be a pretty good motor.
I thought dodge was going to be bumping up the numbers of the 5.7 HEMI to match or beat the 5.7 Tundra (380HP & 404 TQ )for their new 2009 Ram?
It wouldnt make since to release a new motor for only a few years? But who knows, time will tell.
