I've been waiting patiently to strike for a Mega Cab but it doesn't look like it will happen. Why not as an option engine for all of the Rams? Or are they saving it for an SRT-8 Ram? Does anyone have an idea?

Definitely not until model year '08, if at all. The Ram's next major redesign is in '08.

The only reason a 6.1 might make it into a Ram then, is that Chrysler will still probably want a sport truck in the lineup and the SRT-10 is history.

I dont think youll see it anytime soon. The SRT10 Ram was discontinued because of the new law starting January 1st. The law states that any new vehicle sold starting January 1st must get at least 20 (I think thats what it is) mpg or better.

There is no such law that I have seen or heard of.

But there are "gas guzzler" fines for cars that do not produce sufficient fuel economy for their size/class. Trucks are exempt.

Vehicle manufacturers have to meet an average fuel economy standard for both their cars and their trucks to avoid big fines from Uncle Sam. I think that is the law you were thinking of.
