Expert Insight:

High Output Differences

You can see the results of engineering upgrades that distinguish the H.O. motor from the standard version of the Hurricane.

Forged Internals: To manage increased boost pressure, the H.O. utilizes forged aluminum pistons and reinforced connecting rods rather than the cast components found in standard engines.

Fuel Tech: The system uses dual high-pressure fuel pumps to ensure the cylinders receive adequate fuel during maximum acceleration.

Optimized Cooling: A dual-inlet, high-flow charge cooler keeps intake air dense and cold, allowing the engine to maintain peak performance during hot Indiana summers.

CPO Safety Net

You will find that many of our pre-owned high-performance Rams meet the requirements for our Certified Pre-Owned program.

  • Intercooler Integrity: We perform pressure tests on the charge air cooler to ensure there are no leaks that would result in a loss of horsepower.
  • Compression Test: Technicians verify engine compression to confirm the forged pistons are sealing correctly.
  • Warranty: You receive powertrain coverage that specifically includes the turbochargers and major engine components.

Maintenance Pro-Tips

You can preserve the life of your race-bred Hurricane H.O. by following these suggestions from our service center:

Maintenance Pro-Tips
  • Premium Fuel Required: This version requires 91 octane fuel or higher. Using lower grades will cause the computer to reduce timing, which lowers power and can damage the engine under heavy load.
  • Strict Oil Intervals: High boost levels generate significant heat in the oil. You should change the synthetic oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to protect the turbocharger bearings.
  • Warm Up: Always allow the oil temperature to reach its operating range before you attempt full-throttle acceleration to ensure all high-performance parts are properly lubricated.
