Chrysler Hurricane (3.0 twin-turbo six)
3.0 L · inline-6 · turbocharged · petrol · 2022–present
Also known as: hurricane, hurricane 3.0, gme-t6, 3.0 twin-turbo straight-six, hurricane 4xe
Stellantis' 3.0 twin-turbocharged straight-six — the Hurricane — in the Wagoneer and the Ram 1500.
It is the engine replacing the HEMI V8, and that is the framing that matters to anybody working on one: two fewer cylinders, two turbochargers, direct injection, and a chain where the V8 had a cam-in-block and a reputation built over twenty years. None of that reputation transfers.
It is too new for a settled long-term record, and saying so is more useful than repeating early reports. What can be said comes from the design: intake-valve carbon is expected at mileage on a direct-injected engine, and the turbochargers' life tracks oil condition on an engine making this much power per litre.
A straight six is inherently balanced, which is why it sounds and behaves as it does and why it fits where a V8 did without needing balance shafts.
The eTorque badge on some of these cars is a mild-hybrid system, not a version of this engine — a belt-driven starter-generator and a small battery. Start, stop and charge complaints belong to that system rather than to the engine.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
