The Ram/Dodge/Jeep Eco-diesel 6cyl disappeared pretty quick too.
Meh, I've had 12 and 24V Cummins Dodge W250s (93 and early 2000s-might have been be 02). Currently have a 1/2 ton Ram with the 5.7.
You won't catch me anywhere near a newly released engine/transmission combo.
If I need a new truck in the the next 5 years, it will have to be the 3/4 ton with the 6.4 gas in it. Would do Cummins, but it doesn't match my usage and the heck with modern emissions on those things.
It disappeared because its a diesel, not because its an in-line.The Ram/Dodge/Jeep Eco-diesel 6cyl disappeared pretty quick too.
Um...the Eco-diesel was a v-6.It disappeared because its a diesel, not because its an in-line.

I tend to be the same way. I'll never buy the first model year (heck, usually not the first two or three) of any new model or generation. Too many things are fixed or improved in those first few years.You won't catch me anywhere near a newly released engine/transmission combo.
All mid sized machines as well. The big CAT dozers all have V engines btw.
