What Size Engine Dose A 1997 V8 Dodge Ram Have?

Answer 1

From 1994-2001 the engines and their output were as follows: 3.9-liter, 175-horsepower V6; 5.2-liter, 220-horsepower V8; a pair of 5.9-liter, 230-horsepower V8s (one rated as heavy duty with more low-end torque); 5.9-liter Cummins Turbodiesel (with 175 horsepower and 420 ft-lbs of torque for manual transmissions and 160 horses/400 ft-lbs for automatics); and a new V10 with a huge 8.0 liters worth of displacement. The big V10 debuted halfway through the model year and belted out 300 horsepower and 450 ft.-lbs. of torque, making it the most powerful gasoline engine available in a pickup. Transmissions now included a four-speed automatic option for the Cummins Turbodiesel as well as the V1

A few new options and features increased the luxury factor of the big trucks in 1997: available leather seating and woodgrain door trim (in the Laramie SLT), keyless/illuminated entry, a stereo with both CD and cassette decks and deep-tint quarter windows for Club Cab models. An optional upgrade (dubbed SS/T for Super Sport Truck) was offered for Rams equipped with the Sport package and 5.9-liter V8 and included 17-inch wheels/tires, a performance-tuned suspension, a throat-ier exhaust and a paint scheme sporting two big center stripes that echoed the look of the previous year's Indy 500 truck.
