Since this thread has gone cold, and all the 6.2's are working flawlessly throught the winter, I would ask you guys what you think of this new eTorque "mild Hybird" technology that Ram is sending out on the new Gen5 1500.? I'm not sure but the first thing that comes to my mind is who will make the first delete kit for it. I do like the reclining rear crew cab seats in the new Ram though.

Interesting for sure, but I'm going to reserve judgment until I see someone put it to the test to evaluate performance of the new platforms. I do really want to see how these electric motors do supplementing power.

Somewhat related but what exactly did Ford do to increase the torque in the 2017+ 6.2 vs the 2011-2016s?

Larger valves, different cam profile, new more efficient transmission with slightly different gear ratios. The max torque is also at a substantially lower rpm.

Ok thanks, I look forward to reading more about it in the coming months. They say it is worth 130 lb-ft on the Hemi.

hybrid or all electric...

after a few years.... thousands for new batteries... and what about the electric motor... controller..

my opinion..

130 of torque.... or 50 hp = 37,000 watts... even if I am wrong by 50 percent.. major battery power needed.

I think the same about it. I wonder if this "new tech" on the Hemi will be standard or an option?

YES, 2 power systems... someone must pay for both... not the gov-ment.

there has been "Talk" of changing the 12 volt electrical system to 36 volts... and then adding a 5 volt sub-system for all electronics...

so Hybrid and all electric could go whatever the electric motor NEEDS..and sub-systems for lighting and electronics.

Electric is instant. Not saying Tesla is perfect, but they have certainly shown us the abilities of electric.

If you put it on one of these you get to laugh as you watch them try to read it when you are moving

I was not aware of the larger valves. Do you remember where you saw this information? I'd be interested if you can remember.

Also, there is a new intake manifold, I believe, with longer runners that increase torque.
