- Interesting the oil cap says 5w30. Also, they say it'll be a step up from the 6.2L gas engine that makes 385hp/430tq, and slot in between the 6.2L gasser and the diesel for power and capability. So, the diesel is 450hp and the 6.2L gas is 385hp.
I'm going to guess it should beat the 410hp/429tq of the 6.4L Hemi from RAM, so I'd estimate 425hp and 500tq for the 7.3L gasser.
Anyone else want to take a guess? - What a time to be alive! HAHA! This next gen of all the HD trucks looks really good. Both gasser and diesel.
- I can’t believe that new grill design. Nostrils! Right after Ram thankfully deleted them.
Makes my nose itch. Deep inside.
:):) - Funny how Ford picked the displacement of their most legendary diesel engine, and Chevy picked the displacement of theirs as the displacements of the new "big block" gas engines, and not the displacements of their old legendary big block gas engines.
I would've expected Ford to reintroduce the 460, and GM the 454... - Interesting at 2:40 of the video that he is stating that the differences between the power numbers between the chassis dyno certification is almost identical to the engine dyno certification which means there will not be that much of a hp drop in the cab and chassis trucks due to the different emissions certifications.
- I’m thinking 425HP 475 ft-lbs. 2200 rpm on max torque.
Put your numbers in boys and girls.
We’ll see who’s closest. Lol - It will be confusing talking about the old 7.3 or new 7.3 LOL.
- The 7.3 gas engine will reduce Diesel sales as this new engine will work just fine for the lower end of the HD towing market.

Ha. Oddly enough I like the nostrils on the RAM and would like to purchased a 2500 with them. :D- I think the new Gas Engine will be more that plenty of power for the width of the market.
