IS THE 5.7L HEMI A GOOD ENGINE? - TruckTalk  

Be sure to check out the other RAM Maintenance, Upgrade, and Performance videos on this channel! We are also working on project HellRAM and supercharging this 100k mile truck and documenting the full build on the channel 👍👍👍

Got my ram at 140,000 miles used! I use it every single day for work and out of town trips and now it has 250,000 miles still running strong 💪🏾 mopar HEMI 🤠.

2009 Hemi Sport. 262,000 miles and still doing great. Best truck I've ever owned in my life.

The best truck ive ever had and i still have is the 04 ram 5.7 hemi magnum its been 14 years and i drive up to 60 mile a day and still works.

Bought my first Ram in 2011. It's a 08 Ram 1500 Lone Star 5.7L V8. Bought it with less than 40K on it. Has about 180K on it now. No problems whatsoever. More than ample power, never failed to start. Love It ! Had Ford F-150s before and they're good trucks, but Ram really delivers.

i have 340.000 miles on my hemi, original engine on my 03 ram. its 2019 now.

First of all, thank you for taking some of your time to make this video for many of us that are interested in this information. I'm in the process of buying a 2005 Dodge Ram with the 5.7 Hemi engine and because of your video you have given me confidence purchase this truck. The engine sounds so strong and it runs so evenly but your video has pushed me over the top. I own a 2001 Dodge Durango with the 4.7 v8 engine and I've owned it for 6 years and I have never even changed a spark plug in it. It runs so good set my 19 year old son has demanded I not get rid of it because he wants it. Again, thank you for making this video and taking your time because I truly believe time is a precious commodity that we never get back so this was time well spent. I wish you well you and your family.

I bought my 05 Dodge Ram Hemi-Sport back in 07. I have never had anything major go wrong with it over the last 14 years. Still starts and drives almost as good as when I bought it and I still really love it. I plan to buy a brand new Ram this year but will keep this truck and keep her going, she's been reliable.

2016 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi. bought it in 2019 with 50,000km. Currently at 120,000km. No issues. Great Engine.

As a former dodge tech, I must correct you on the cam and lifters. It is not year specific, however I have found it to be mds specific.(to my knowledge the first gen 5.7s did not suffer from this issue. The only 5.7s I ever saw that had cam problems were police chargers and oil field work trucks. #1 cause of failure is extended periods of idle time. Idling for extended periods of time causes the roller on the tappet to seize, therefore making it slowly eat down into the cam lobe, effectively shortening valve travel, which in most cases shows up as a misfire. This is not something that happens over night. Typically found in cylinders 3,4,5 and sometimes 6. Some other things that you did not mention are that the early 5.7s were prone to idler pulley failures and water pump failures. Also, some newer generation 5.7s were plagued by bad timing chain guides. There is a recall for this. The timing chain and guides both get replaced. Some like to break exhaust manifold bolts, seems to depend on driving habits/conditions. Otherwise, good vid bud. 👍

I own the 06 Dodge Charger 5.7, currently 160k miles. Runs like dream. Great engine.

Just bought my first RAM 2021 Warlock V8 5.7L. Still under 1,000 miles very happy to hear the life span on these.

I have a 08 4.7 Ram 1500 and it works great with 135000 miles on it. I changed the oil every 6000 miles...changed the transmission fluid every 60000 miles....upper plugs ever 30000 miles and lower plugs at 120000 miles. I also changed the rear end fluid every 30000 miles. Runs like brand new. I bought a 17 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi and it has only 5000 miles but I was so impressed by my 08 I had to buy another Ram.

@BoostedMotorsports Thanks for posting this 👍 I just bought a 2012 RAM 1500 5.7 L Hemi with almost 80,000 miles on it. It's good to know that these engines can last a good long time. I test drove 2019 trucks from other brands and you can definitely feel the boost in performance when you drive the Hemi.

thisa is good to hear seeing as I just bought a 2019 ram

I've had two 05 hemis I bought both with over 150k. It really depends on how well they were maintained and treated.

Just bought a 2019 Ram with a Hemi " I'm 58 years old. Maby it's the last one I'll ever by.

My father actually called to correct me today. He said the truck is over 900,000kms now lmao

Good to hear these are really dependable. I just bought a 2009 2500 with a 5.7 Hemi and 175,000 miles. I was really impressed with it when I drove it at the dealer. I was originally there to look at a used Ford, but they sold it before I got there. I am so glad i go this truck instead. Drove it on a 400 mile road trip today and still freaking love it!

I have a 2008 Jeep Commander with 208k miles on the 5.7 Hemi. It runs great...no problems so far. I'm the original owner. I used to tow a 24 foot travel trailer with it. Best motor I have ever owned. It doesn't use any oil between changes if I run high mileage motor oil. It uses a quart every 1500 miles or so if I run full synthetic.

Just bought a 04 ram 1500 5.7 hemi with 166k miles I love it. Definitely gonna sub for more info, being that this is my 1st pickup truck. Nice video and info keep em coming...

My 03 Ram 5.7 Helmi has about 250,000 miles and runs great

The ‘08 5.7 in my Jeep just hit 125k miles, still runs smooth as butter with pennzoil platinum high mileage. It’s so smooth sitting at a stop light I can barely tell it’s running if it wasn’t for the exhaust 😆

Hey man I love your channel, and I don’t know if you’ll still get a notification to this comment being that it’s 4 years old. But what I wanted to share is I have always been a Silverado guy , however I purchased my first Ram 2018 1500 CC RWD 5.7 Hemi exactly 15 months ago. The truck had 83K miles on it and I absolutely love everything about the truck. If I had any complaint at all it would only be I wish the truck had more braking power to stop. I’ve lowered it and I’ve done a lot of your modifications you’ve featured on this channel. I recently lowered it and purchased the Diablosport platinum tuner for it and it responded very well. Last week the truck rolled 100k miles and it displayed a fault code indicating misfire #8 cylinder it was also due a complete service. I purchased all new plugs and coils and the oil and filter for the oil change. When I pulled #8 plugs one (maybe both I can’t recall) plugs were tapped closed. So I couldn’t determine anything else damaged so I proceeded with gapping my new plugs and installed the rest, changed the oil and drove the truck for a couple of days without incident. After a couple hundred miles I pulled number 8 plugs out again to check if they were closed shut again however they were not in fact they were gapped at exactly .043 just like I gapped them a few days prior. So with all this being said my fiancé and I had a road trip planned to go to Charlotte NC from Charleston SC where we live. So for the trip I wanted to try out the MPG Booster tune pre installed with my Diablosport tuner, so fillled up with 87 , turned MDS on and my fiancé drove the next 2.25 hours to Charlotte without any issues and the truck averaging 24 MPG (interstate cruising speed of about 78 MPH @ 90 degrees F and the AC on blast). We got off the interstate and topped off with 93 so I put the 91 octane tune in the truck and switched drivers. Drove the truck approximately 2 miles from that gas station and got a fault code that number 8 misfired then as we went another mile it turned into multiple misfires, skipping, smoking (burning oil) knocking and raising hell with loss of power. So we finally limped it onto my brother in laws house about 10 miles from that gas station. Once we arrived and let the truck cool down I pulled number 8 plugs again with number 6, and number 1 just randomly checking all plugs were still set gapped as I set them. However on my Diablosport monitor I could see number 8 injector not firing constantly. And if the engine sat idle it would load up with oil and burn off a hell of a smoke cloud behind me so thick it was unbelievable. So I dumped the Royal purple 5w30 I had put in it earlier in the week and replaced it with the mobile one 5w20 I had been using prior to that particular oil servicing. So with work and adult lives we had to get back home and $1500 for a tow truck to carry my truck home , and Uhaul with NO car transporter nor dolly they said my truck would fit onto, I decided to try to limp it the 235 miles back home. So stopping to top off the oil every 30-40 miles and watching each cylinder (via injector pulse) on the monitor we dropped off cylinders 8,6,and 5 was shitting the bed when the truck finally just didn’t have anymore power to push itself up another hill about 90 miles from our home. Knocking at this point we arranged for an Uber home and sent for a wrecker to return my truck to my driveway (it should be home tomorrow) what do you suspect I am going to find when I tear this engine apart at just over 100K miles blown up under normal driving conditions? Any guesses, or suggestions? Did I mess up with the change of brand or viscosity oil during my oil change ? Why was number 8 plugs tapped closed, why were they gapped as they should be after I changed them? Any ideas would be helpful. I also would like to get your information on how to obtain one of your 80 mm throttle bodies for this same build or rebuild. Thanks in advance Rick Confused in Charleston

Good to hear I just bought a 2012 Ram with 74,000 miles on it.

i was told going into the truck market they all have their issues buy the one that you love because you are going to be putting money into it to fix it eventually.. i bought my used 2015 R/T ram and never looked back. I Don't use the MDS i always turn it off i believe this will help it out. just passed 94,000kms no issues yet. I strongly believe its how you treat your engine, i always run the best oil, always keep up with maintenance, also i always give er plenty of time to warm up before i drive it. alot of people neglect to do all these things and bitch when the truck breaks down or has issues. so many negative people i talked to that knew nothing about trucks.. RAM this RAM that. 1 year later all the shit talkers with there 5.0s.. ECO BOOMS... Vortecs etc have been in the shop for recalls.. repairs.. not me.. i don't drive the shit out of mine. Treat her right and she will treat you right.

"The 5.7L motor is a very great reliable vehicle"

This is great to hear. My father gave me his old 05 durango with the hemi a few years ago with around 170,000 miles on it and it's just about to hit 200k soon. Him and I have never had any problem with it with the exception to something minor with the manifold. Still running strong towing every now and then.

276,000 mile Expedition 5.4 V-8. 17 years old, solid engine with proper maintenance

Looking at a used Ram 5.7 Good to hear this info. subscribed.

I’ve got a 2013 ram slt 1500 and have 150,000 miles and that damn thing runs just like the day I bought it

I just bought a 2017 Ram 1500 5.7 Limited, it has 113,200 miles on her and she still feels like a new truck, nice and tight with gobs of power. It even still looks like a new truck. It's delmonico red pearl coat, I love the Ram boxes to. I've had 7 Ram truck in my years from 1996, 1999, 2001, 2007, 2016, 2017 and 2019. I have NEVER had any problems with any of them. They have been REALLY GREAT trucks.

I have an 05 1500 and a 2016 1500, love these trucks! The 16 is my daily driver, but i still use the 05 once a week or so, it just hit 255,000 miles and still going strong!

I had a 2014 5.7 hemi sport that had over 100,000 kms on it and it was a fantastic truck. Liked it so much I traded it in for a brand new 2017 hemi sport 5.7 last year which I currently have now and thanks to the channel is getting modded out really nice. Keep up the good work man these videos are super helpful for guys who enjoy some affordable and clean modifications.

Awesome Information!! I just bought a 2017 1500 Laramie, with 20k miles and I am in love

BoostedMotorsports, Hello, I am the original owner of a 2005 Dodge Power Wagon 3/4 ton with a 5.7 liter Hemi. I currently have over 150,000 miles (I'll let you do the km conversion). My truck looks and runs like the day I drove it off of the lot back in '05. It is an exceptional truck. I did have to change one cracked exhaust manifold, motor mounts and one battery. So again, exceptional truck. It's seen it's share of mud, sand and one meter deep water. Years ago I had a hand-me-down, full size Dodge van with a 318cc engine. I sold it with 215,000 thousand miles and it still ran great. My latest purchase was a new 2016 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with a shaker hood and a 6.4 hemi. I have high hopes for it as well. Bottom line: Mopar or no car. Thank you for your video and your patience. Best regards, Robert

08 slt quad cab blue metallic 210kmil now and runs like new with zero issues, I've had 6 rams now and all of them have been really reliable for me, I keep up with my maintenance very well and I believe that makes any vehicle run forever without issues.

Towing prevents the MDS from kicking in and although may have been hard could be responsible for saving your engine. Although other things can happen the MDS has been linked as the primary cause of lifter failure. In a nutshell when the MDS activates it diverts oil pressure to lockout the lifters and this pressurization cycle robs the still running lifters of oil pressure. This shouldn't affect performance but the problem is exacerbated by malfunctions in the mechanism (wear, breakage, bad sensors, etc.) I believe this affects all MDS engines 2006 - present. There are two ways to deactivate MDS without mods. 1) Turn on the tow/haul switch 2) Press the shifter up/down switch down one click so that a 6 appears on the instrument panel (or 8 if you have an 8 speed tranny) or if you have a center console shifter switch to manual. Whatever you have switch so that your highest gear number appears and the (ECO) light turns off. You will have to do this [every time] you shift the vehicle into drive. So as of the second half of 2019 FCA has fixed the problem (again), the jury is still out.

Thanks for putting up this information. Im considering getting a Sport as well, glad to hear that nobody is having any major problems.

I have have owned a 2001, 2008 and a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi and had no engine or transmission problems. Ram has come a long way in quality, performance and reliability even since my first 2001.

I bought a new 2008 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4, quad cab w/8' foot bed w/5.7 Hemi engine. I currently have 197,000 miles, no engine, transmission or drivetrain issues! I did have to replace the pwr steering unit at three year interval (2011). Normal maintenance, i.e., tires, brakes, fluid changes (no leaks) per manual, (oil & filter change every 10,000 (full synthetic), tune-up at 80,000 & 160,000 (w/fuel rail clean) miles. High Test Fuel only. Not a week goes by that this truck does not see 100 mph. Love this truck ! Awaiting my new 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 crew cab w/6'-4" bed w/5.7 Hemi !!

So far my 07 Ram 5.7 is at 247,000 miles on it and runs great. motor mounts are trashed but that will be fixed some day lol

I just bought a 2004 Ram 1500 4WD Quad Cab with the 5.7 and I love it. Long-time Ford guy. Current truck is a Chevrolet 1500. My "new" Ram has 114K miles on it. Was owned by a family friend who had dementia and let the oil run about five quarts low(!) and still had the original spark plugs in it. 16 spark plugs and an O2 sensor later and it runs great. I am very impressed by this truck, to say the least. Think I'll keep it for awhile. This is the first of your videos I have watched. Just subscribed! Great info here.

2014 with 23K and i had to change #4 lifter and cam shaft due to lifter grinding down on the cam.. i bought the truck that way from a tow auction for 9k.. and fixed with $1300...now running like a champ... great channel!

I'm on my 3rd Ram now. First was a 2005 Hemi QC Slt sold it with 98k miles, 2nd was a 2008 Hemi QC Sport sold it with 75k miles. Now have a 2017 Hemi Crew Slt with 16k miles that is my daily driver. Mechanically my 2005 & 2008 were both great, I only got rid of them to trade up into nicer rams before 100k miles. My only complaint with them was the common rust area above the wheel wells on the bed. I am currently enjoying better mileage on the 2017 from the 8sp transmission that is netting me 20.1 mpg combined (80% highway, 20% city) which is up from 16mpg on the 2008. Great channel, very informative, keep the mods coming!

I have a 2013 with a 170,000 miles still running good

My 2004 has 240,00 miles on it, still going strong!

Just this week I went and bought a 2012 1500 sport with the 5.7L. Clean truck from Colorado with 218k, I bought it here in ND. Clean carfax and from everything I could find it's all original. No rust anywhere and spent a hour looking the truck over before a test drive. I have put a few miles on it now and I am very happy with it. I have done mechanical work for the last 14 yrs so I figured anything that breaks I could fix. My first truck was a 68 f100 and then a 94 f250 that I had forever. If this ram is half as good to me as my 94 I will easily get 400k on the odometer. I dont beat my vehicles but, I do not baby them either. Maintenance is top priority, bumper to bumper.

We had an 03 RAM 1500 pre-MDS. Bought it in 07 with 127000 kms. Drove it till 3 years ago and sold it with 500,000 kms. Never touched the engine, only did manifolds once. My dad used it for his business and it had a 16' trailer behind it 6 days a week. After we sold it we found out it needed a trani at 520,000. He put a used trani in and the truck is still going today. Great truck and motor.

Own a 17 Laramie crew cab avg. 16.8 mpg driving about 70 % city and 30% Hwy with the 8 speed trans. Love it so far!

my 09 challenger has almost 200k miles and still runs strong love the 5.7 hemi

great info. Just bought a 2014 with 115k and I love the way this truck runs

I bought my 3rd gen, 2005 Hemi 1500 SLT and it has 156,000 miles and it’s still going strong. I just changed my water pump today 4/14/18.... and I love it. I’m selling mine and getting a getting a 2016 Laramie fully load with 5.7 Hemi and I can’t wait. I bought my 05 new and have done 98% of all the maintenance on it.

My brother has a 2012 sport with 230,000 miles and has done nothing to it. I have a 2014 ecodiesel Laramie with 112,000.miles and it still runs perfect.

155,000 miles on 2017 Ram 1500 tradesman. Never had any catastrophic issues.

Kool Vid. I got a 2006 300c with the 5.7 Hemi Got 145000km. No smoke. No rattles. Starts straight up each and every time. Love the motor and great to hear you got so many km/miles outa your Hemi 5.7’s.

the 5.7 is a great engine!

I had a 2015 tradesman ram 1500 5.7L v8, put fifty thousand miles on it in two and a half years. Ran like a top. Just traded it in in January this year for a liquidated 2017 1500 Big Horn brand new. I have 8000 miles in it so far and I'm totally in love with it. The ONLY issue I have is the Eco drive when it drops off to 4 cylinders, I just don't like how it feels. No different than the 2015. Still, my Ram is my work truck, I work in a sand mine and I drive 40 minutes one way to work. Really decent gas mileage considering its a v8.

I have a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 quad cab with 340.000 miles on my 5.7 hemi engine I love my hemi

I have a 2013 Dodge ram 1500 4 x 4 Bighorn it has 167350 miles on it and I’ve had it for almost 5 years. I plan on fixing her up and keeping this truck as long as I can. It’s been a good truck.

My 2004 3500 Diesel has 560,000 miles so far

If you want a long lasting Chrysler, maintain it very well. As a former Service Advisor who worked for Chrysler many years ago, Chrysler vehicles that are maintained very well, outlast the competition. The problem is that most Chrysler owners are clueless that they even they have to do an oil and oil filter change and then they wonder why their Chrysler breaks down.

219,000 miles on my 03 1500 ram. I bought it new and drive it like it’s stolen every day. Trans went out at 71,000 miles. I replaced it with a factory remanufactuerd trans and it’s been solid since then. It’s still a beast. 😎

Watching this just made me feel that much better about my purchase! Just picked up a 2008 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi with only 94000 miles!

Have an 05 with 200k been on 2 three day trips good to go other than your normal wear and tear repairs 💪 HEMI!!!!!

2013 5.7 got it at 42k and its at 81.5k right now. Low miles, but perfect truck. Had it for 5 years so far :) Upgraded the shocks to Rancho Quik Lift adjustable and it eliminated all body roll and feels amazing.

Just purchased a 2011 1500 5.7 sport with 110,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. First time ram owner and so far so good.

09 Ram 5.7 HEMI 242,460 miles she’s still going strong 💪. Love my truck 🛻

Just bought a 2019....and regret selling my 2005; I gave that truck hell and never let me down, hoping my 2019 behaves the same

My 5.7 Hemi was awesome, right up to the point where my lifters chewed up my cam. 103k miles.

Got a 2015 ram 92,000 running strong ! Never lets me down

Shewww I wish it was only 2011, I had a 2016 Ram with the 5.7 had lifter failure at 7k miles, then again at 23k miles. I now have a 2016 Challenger with the 5.7 and have had a lifter failure at 52k miles. Love your videos bro. Keep em coming.

2012 RAM 1500 250,000 miles Pulling 7,000 pound pressure washing trailer almost every day! Runs like shit underload but still runs and still pulls : )

I'm a mechanic and have been for over 35 years. To be honest, everyone builds a pretty reliable vehicle these days. Except ford, they're still junk. Good thing they perfected the marketing part....

I have a 2011 1500 Sport 5.7 80K miles with no major issues, manifold bolts and sensors went out. Runs like a champ.

I just bought a 2016 big horn with 36k on it. Got it for $26,000. They threw in the navigation, new tires and spray in bed liner. Love it...

I have the 4.7 magnum with 300k with no problem it’s all in how you take care of them.

214,000 miles on my 09 running strong!

just bought a 2019 ram classic 5.7 with 8 speed trans. 3 years old and has 52k on it roughly 35 thousand miles. love it so far.

My 5.7 has been great I am the original owner bought it 2014 from the dealer, ram 1500 express regularcab. I alway change oil early, use royal purple hps lukas full synthetic formula, put a oil filter relocation kit and can use a 30 8a filter from royal purple, have long tube headers mid pipe and a diablosport 93 tune. Going to put a 6.4 non mds cam, new lifters, high lift springs, chrome moly push rods, can't wait. I wanted a srt 10 truck, but fell in love with the express when I test drove it.

My first truck was a 2004 Dodge Ram with the 6v magnum engine it made it to 250k before it started smoking my new truck is a 2007 Dodge Ram 5.7 hemi and I love it

You give really good information. I've been watching a lot of your video's. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Keep up the great job on these videos. Ram is a good truck. Best looking in my opinion

Piling on ... 98 RAM 1500 bought new.. 295k miles, traded in for 05 Ram , boughf with 6k miles ... was stolen and recovered. Put 330k miles, got rear ended , flipped and totaled, now driving 16 Ram, 90k miles and still going .. no engine problems

I just bought a 2017 Ram truck with 5.7 litre with 41k miles on it.I am new to trucks and Ram.But I am falling in love with it day by day.

Ram trucks are pretty tough for the most part I had a 2014 with 250,000 miles on it with zero issues. I changed oil, coolant and front and rear differential fluids on it regularly.

2013 Charger RT with the 5.7 Hemi, 128,000 miles and nothing but maintenance and a couple non-engine related recalls.

I have a 2013 5.7 Hemi Sport 4x4 I bought new with only 80,000 km on it so far. This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle and was starting to get concerned about the mileage. I use to hall a 30’ travel trailer and now use it to plow my lane way, plus I do like the power of the Hemi and tend to drive it a bit hard at times. I had the exhaust manifold bolts done under warranty and the 2 front fenders replaced under warranty for rust bubbling and I keep it in mint condition. Aside from that, no issues and she’s fully loaded, I love this truck! Sounds like it’s a keeper.

2005 5.7 HeMI 93k running like a champ

My curiosity will be how the 5.7 hemi does with the etorque installed and hope long it lasts. Longer or shorter... I would suspect longer but still curious! Great channel and great info!

Thanks for posting! I recently purchased 2009 Ram 1500 with 127,000 miles on the 5.7 Hemi. It is refreshing to know the hemi is a good solid motor. I traded a 2003 Dodge Dakota which had 233,000 miles on a 4.7 Magnum motor and was still running strong. Only reason I traded it was the front end needed alot of work and it was just starting to rust around one of the wheel wells.

Cool video...I have a 2004 5.7 Hemi Ram with 184,000 miles on it.... Great engine never had any problems with that..so far the only thing I have had repaired is the suspension.. bought this truck brand new back in the day. Great purchase. 👍

Have my 05 5.7 ram with 400,000 original miles and still running strong!

Excellent engines, and believe it or not, one of the most economical V8s on the market (thanks 8HP, VVT, and MDS). There have been a small number of 5.7s out there with lifters that seize and eat into the cam, causing a very expensive repair. And first gens had valves that would pop loose and grenade the engine. Other than that, a VERY solid engine. With FCA installing them in Chargers, Challengers, RAM, Grand Cherokees, and Durangos, it has to be reliable.

My 05 has 348,000 and still going strong.had to put a rear in at at 275,000 other then that all Original

My 2005, 5.7 Hemi Ram has over 285,000 miles and it’s still running strong. I was so impressed that I also own a 2015 Charger R/T with the 5.7 Hemi. 👍🏾

2012 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 CC, bought it with 75k miles 1 owner. When I test drove it threw a CEL, got it home and read the codes. Misfire in 3. Turned it back to dealer next day and told them I needed to know how bad it was. Dealership fixed it ($3900 + 80$ for a broken manifold bolt) as a part of the sales agreement. Newcam and #3 lifter. I disable MDS manually now, for what that is worth, until I break down and decide to get a tuner (HP). If the cam and lifter go out again. Guess that means a better cam and lifters will be in the future. I got to drive one of the SRT10 when I lived in Michigan, step dad is an electrical engineer for Chrysler :) helluva truck! As always, great video man.

I absolutely love my 2014 ram 1500 sport 5.7L Hemi, as you mentioned with the exhaust manifolds 4 of the original bolts had snapped on me. I just replaced the manifolds with BBK shorty headers and they seem to be doing well so far just a note when using the DEI exhaust wrap your truck will smoke quite a bit until the wrap sets completely. Stopped at the convenience store last night and I thought my truck was on fire! 😕

I have a 250,000 on my 04 Durango 5.7 never had an issue car still runs like a charm love the engine so much I have 4 other hemi cars haha

Had the Hemi tick on my ‘07. Limped home about five miles from the dealership after I bought it with about 150K miles. They swapped the entire block to avoid any Lemon Law problems. Been a champ ever since. Block didn’t look brand new, so I have no idea what kind of wear it had previously. Passes everything but the gas station.

I had the cam and lifters go on my '12 Ram 5.7 right at 123,000 miles. It started as a misfire in Cylinder #3 that i couldn't figure out. The Dodge dealer told me it was gonna cost over $5k in repairs, so I traded it in. I now have a '17 Ram with the 5.7 liter Hemi engine and it has been great so far.
