subject:"Re\: \[Chevelle\-List\] Non Chevelle $Hemi$"

Steve,

The 454 in the Chevelle has over 500 horsepower at the moment, it is a solid 12 second car.  I built the motor in the Chevelle myself.
I was kinda trying to put a little wiseguy humor into this thread :-).  However I do plan on building the Charger to be an easy 11 second car, besides, the Hemi I was talking about isn't a little dinky 5.7 like the trucks are getting ;-).  Can we say 528 CID!!!

Title: Message



I am 
s sorry to hear this! Have you thought about having 
the compression checked in the 
454? 
 
With the new Hemi being built in 
Mexico, does this mean that when you are pulled over you not only have to show 
the registration, but the green card as 
well?  
 
Sorry guys, just trying to inject a little humor 
...I know ...very little.

Dodge 1500 trucks were not available with diesel engines. 
This is farming country and I know a ton of Dodge diesel owners in this county. 
None have ever mentioned anything about rear end problems. A few have had front

wonder what Gm was thinking using a TBI type injection system on their

injection availible in 1985! Dodge does have some good prices and such, 
but their warranty procudures aren't any better then GM, Ford, Honda, or

Interesting Thread.  Only  one 
thing I have to add regarding the DODGE Truck . is it's REAR. A local guy who 
own a rear end service shop " The Rear Man "  every time he see or 
hears a dodge diesel he make a cash regester sound.
Why he calls it his job security, 
fixes alot of them.

  a TBI type injection system on their trucks from 1987 all the way till 1995? I 
  mean Ford had a port type injection availible in 1985! Dodge does have some 
  good prices and such, but their warranty procudures aren't any better then GM, 
  Ford, Honda, or whoever really. Our shop owns a new Dodge and I also am good 
  friends with a service writer at a local dealer and their system is as hassle

  I'm very hesitant to jump on this big dodge bandwagon... it seems like it

  Opps... trannys and tranfer case problems galore! Took Dodge to about 1997 to 
  get control of the problem and still have less then the strongest drivetrain. 
  I also will say that outside the Cummins and MAYBE the hemi... their engines

Re: [Chevelle-List] Non Chevelle (Hemi)

2002-12-30 Thread Mach4




I am a GM guy at heart, but we owned several 
Voyager/Caravan vans when our kids were growing up. We loved them! The styling 
was just super. Lots of our relatives owned the GM vans at the same time, and we 
all agreed they were inferior to ours - comfort, convenience, reliability, etc. 
We never had the tranny problems with ours which were known to exist at the 
time, nor did we have any other problems - just routine maintenance. We bought 3 
or 4 new, drove them to high miles, and traded them in on another 
one.
 
When it came time for me to upgrade to a new truck, 
after driving older used ones for a couple of decades, I really looked the field 
over carefully. Boy, the Dakota 4 x 4 extended cab seemed just right - medium 
size, competitive pricing, sharp styling. I bought a new 1996 model, and it was 
a disappointment. Poor mileage, rough ride, mediocre handling, poor interior fit 
& finish, soft paint (I scratched it down to primer with a cardboard box one 
time, not the staples, just the box). The automatic tranny started slipping at 
about 40,000 miles, and of course, nobody could find anything wrong with it. I 
finally dumped it at 65,000. My new GMC 1/2 ton extended cab 4 x 4 is 
great! Bigger, better ride, can haul more, better mileage, more power (and I 
have the smaller V-8, 305 c.i., I think? The Dakota had a 318 in it), much more 
comfortable, super rear seat, etc. Of course, it cost more, too, but the deal 
was much better than the Chevy or Dodge dealers could put together on a 1/2 ton. 
I just couldn't bring myself to look at a F***!
 
I wish I had skipped the Dakota chapter in my life. 
The way it looks now, my trucks will be GM's from now on. But my wife really 
loves her Camry, so I think the General and I have lost that one!

My new truck search concentrated on diesel engines as I wanted something
heavy duty enough to pull a car & trailer. There are two problems with the
GM Duramax; the engine option costs over $2500 more than the Dodge Cummings
and has not been proven,durability-wise,over the latter. Another problem has
been the Allison transmissions. They have had a lot of breakage. As for
horsepower,I've seen Dodge trucks with 600-700hp and over 1,000 ft/lbs of
torque out there. The Cummings engines are in a very mild state of tune and
bumping one up to 400hp is easy. The only downside to a hot rod diesel is
being required to run a manual trans. The autos just can't handle those
power levels.

2002-12-29 Thread NoNeck




When I got my 99 Ram, I test drove all of the 
trucks from the big three. (I was looking for 4x4 extended cabs) I didn't like 
Chevy's low ground clearance, and what I thought was a wimpy stance and NEVER 
cared for their interiors. I then drove the F250 heavy duty. It rode like a 
brick! I know it was a 250 but c'mon! I did like the ride height though! The 
price however was outrageous and the dealership didn't want to bargain. I didn't 
like the new (back then) F150 styling so I didn't consider it and still 
wouldn't. Lastly I drove the Dodge. The value for the money was excellent, and 
the 4x4 height was nice. The seats were comfy and it rode fine. It handled 
pretty well too. When the lease on that was up last year, there was not even a 
moment's hesitation over which new truck I would buy. I went with the newly 
designed Ram 4x4 Quad cab sport. I ended up with $3500in incentives! Pricing was 
$500 over invoice. The incentives took care of my down payment and I got 7 year 
100,000 mile warranty. IT was a no brainer! Everyone I talk to that has a new 
Dodge has nothing but great things to say about it. If you are in the market for 
a new truck, I urge you to go drive a new Dodge. You'll be very surprised. I'm 
not a die hard fan of ANY brand. I love my Chevelle but believe me, GM seems to 
have no loyalty to me as a classic GM owner, so why should I care if I support 
them. Plus with bonehead moves like discontinuing the Caprice and giving all the 
fleet business to Ford's Crown Vic (cop cars, cabs etc...) and dropping the 
Firechicken and Camaro... well, they're just plain out of the loop! Sorry for 
the rant, I'm still drinking my morning coffee! Later gang...

Re: [Chevelle-List] Non Chevelle (Hemi)

2002-12-29 Thread Herbert Lumpp




It's interesting to see I'm not the only 
person thinking outside the Chevy box.  Even though I'm a die-hard Chevy 
fan, my wife gets the A plan price on new Fords and it's hard to pass up that 
huge discount.  I must admit, Chevy is having a harder time 
convincing me to buy a new or even a newer used Chevy product these 
days.
 
After I sold my 78 Blazer, I bought a 
used Ranger from a Ford dealer.  The Ranger came with a 6 year/75,000 
mile powertrain warranty.  After I decided I needed/wanted a full-size 
4x4, I went to the local Chevy dealer to see what they had.  Unfortunately, 
the used trucks they were selling should have been new considering the frickin' 
prices.  And to top it off, if the trucks were too old for a factory 
warranty to be in effect, they had a measly 2 month warranty!  That's 
pretty sad.  Needless to say when I found the 87 Jimmy, I snatched 
it up for only $2500.
 
As much as I love my old Chevys, I doubt 
I'll ever buy a new one (I have to see the C6 before I can be sure). 
:)

If you want to stay with a Chevy truck you can look into the turbo disel then 
go to the Gale Banks web site. He has HP kits where you can build them over

I believe last I heard the Hemi is only available in 3/4 ton and up 
trucks. No 1/2 tons. Also I really question you finding a hemi truck at 
under 25G's. Even a stripped out 2wd, no option anything... probably would 
need to specially ordered if ya did... But I could be wrong as I no real 
drive to buy anything with a Dodge logo on it and haven't looked at them 
much. But yes cool none the less though.

  four door Dodge trucks with Hemi power and the Lone Star 
  package(20"wheels). Having driven just about every new truck out there 
  with just about every engine/trans combo,I can tell you the Hemi Dodge 
  will smoke a Chevy truck with the 6.0 engine. One truck I drove was a 3/4 
  ton longbed with Hemi power & auto and it was pretty impressive for 
  something so heavy. One of the new 1/2 tons with that engine should be a

  Sounds like a nice truck Jeff. Dodge never really had me sold on those 
  power and torque numbers though. I would really like to compare it against 
  Chevy's 6.0 motor. I have driven my boss's 3/4 ton with a 6.0 and it flat out 
  flys! Enough to shoot down wanna be ricers in a single bound despite the

  Price will be $24,700. I've always been a GM man but they do not currently

  top of that,both GM and Ford are priced substantially higher.

question you finding a hemi truck at under 25G's. Even a stripped out
2wd, no option anything... probably would need to specially ordered if ya
did... But I could be wrong as I no real drive to buy anything with a
Dodge logo on it and haven't looked at them much. But yes cool none the
less though.

I have been waiting to drive one of the 1/2 ton four door Dodge
trucks with Hemi power and the Lone Star package(20"wheels). Having
driven just about every new truck out there with just about every
engine/trans combo,I can tell you the Hemi Dodge will smoke a Chevy truck
with the 6.0 engine. One truck I drove was a 3/4 ton longbed with Hemi
power & auto and it was pretty impressive for something so heavy. One
of the new 1/2 tons with that engine should be a fun ride,especially for
less than $25K.

  Sounds like a nice truck Jeff. Dodge never really had me sold on those 
  power and torque numbers though. I would really like to compare it against 
  Chevy's 6.0 motor. I have driven my boss's 3/4 ton with a 6.0 and it flat out 
  flys! Enough to shoot down wanna be ricers in a single bound despite the 
  weight :P
