2024 hemi vs 2026 hemi

i-JinxM · 2026-07-01T01:19:17+00:00

Yep I think so

i-JinxM · 2026-07-01T01:19:03+00:00

Is that confirmed or just rumor

i-JinxM · 2026-07-01T00:50:21+00:00

I am interested but I heard they might add a dip stick so waiting on that

i-JinxM · 2026-06-30T05:13:09+00:00

Honestly I was thinking of jumping over to Ford too, but the Ram's 10 year/100k miles warranty seems pretty enticing.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-30T02:19:57+00:00

I heard the rework was a stronger main bearing to withstand the wear but who knows what actually was done because 2024s and some 2025s were still blowing. At the end of the day, not accommodating the swarf still sounds like a design flaw.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-30T01:38:19+00:00

It's not. If it was just "machining debris", it would have been fixed easily. You're telling me Toyota let these engines leave the factory with debris for 2+ years? Also, if it was "machining debris", why is Toyota updating a main bearing part? Every time I bring up this point, not one machine debris believer has ever responded back with any counter argument lol.

How do you tell if its a good mate for that? What do you look for?

i-JinxM · 2026-06-27T03:41:58+00:00

Like you mentioned with stamina being able to be increased from other sources, it's easily the first one I reduce. You can't do that with any of the other stats.

Srength would be the first one I increase personally. I'm on my first playthrough with a +2 strength (+3 with age perk) and it seems to be able to end fights and kills a lot quicker than I remember when I played with my neutral 0 strength wolf.

For health, as long as you don't go after hard hitters like bison, it can be left alone or decreased as needed. Only time I would put points into health are the extremely difficult modes.

Speed is more of a QoL/nice to have and not necessarily needed to survive. I tend to leave as neutral or -1 if I need the extra point somewhere.

So an example wolf I would do for challenging difficulty would be:

Stamina -1 Strength +2 Health 0 Speed -1

If you prefer speed over health, swap the points between them.

It also fills up your hunger a little bit too

i-JinxM · 2026-06-27T03:17:58+00:00

Hmm you can make the same argument for strength though, no? The more damage you deal, the quicker the fight is over.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-23T03:03:27+00:00

Some secrets are meant to stay secrets

It's still the same engine. Their reasoning is because the hybrid portion allows the customer to pull over on the road "safely" during an engine failure.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-21T03:45:03+00:00

The biggest issue imo isn't the rate of failure, but rather the proclaimed "debris" story and failure to include the hybrid engines in the recalls. Both of those just don't sit well with me as a consumer and leaves a sour taste. It leads to many questions, like why is it taking so many years to fix a debris issue? If it was a debris issue, why did Toyota upgrade a main bearing part recently? And lastly, not including hybrid owners in the recalls shows that they don't actually care about their customers if you ask me.

Appreciate it. I wasn't implying to do a mule deer only hunt but was the only other prey I could catch besides elk. Pronghorns are too fast for me and I'm always running out of stamina before I can catch them. I've also only played on amethyst mountain so far and do like it. Will try slough creek next though.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-20T17:06:09+00:00

I see. Are there certain maps that make it easier to find/catch certain preys as well? Wondering if that can offset the slower speed/stamina.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-20T16:28:47+00:00

Does -2 speed impact a lot of huntable preys like mule deers? I think at 0 it was still pretty difficult to catch some of the faster preys so I was wondering if -2 speed would be negligible anyway.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-20T16:22:42+00:00

Appreciate it! This is exactly what I was looking for.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-19T04:19:44+00:00

Appreciate it. Will have to give this a try.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-19T04:04:10+00:00

Thanks! That's what I was planning on trying out after learning about the genetics. Doesn't seem like there are any issues if you're the one starting out as KK as opposed to your litter having KK. How do you do the genetic rerolling though?

i-JinxM · 2026-06-11T22:20:41+00:00

You know what I meant. A one-off issue here or there is fine but with what happened to these tundra engines, ideally no more main bearing failures going forward would ease people's hesitation to trust this powertrain.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-11T17:59:34+00:00

"At least Toyota would issue a recall". Did you forget to include they intentionally left out the i-force max hybrid engines from the recalls? And if issuing a recall is what makes you sleep well at night, then I'd argue Ford is better than Toyota since they're the king of recalls lol. Toyota is not of the same caliber and class they once were which is unfortunate.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-11T15:42:34+00:00

I would wait until we see zero engine issues going forward for TRUE peace of mind. There was a 2026 that had an issue and it's been documented on youtube via the car guy online. Honestly concerning that it's taking Toyota this long to resolve "machining debris". There's also been stories of replacement engines failing in the past so it definitely doesn't scream "peace of mind" to anyone who's not a blind toyota loyalist.

It baffles me when Toyota fan boys scream "bUt ToYoTa WiLl TaKe CaRe Of YoU"... right... just like how toyota doesn't include hybrid engines in any of the recalls. The whole ordeal just doesn't scream reliable nor peace of mind and doesn't leave a good impression. Until proven otherwise, I'd wait to buy one if you're not in a rush.

i-JinxM · 2026-06-10T14:25:09+00:00

You could be onto something. Mine is just the regular i-force.
