    Hemi designed to only go 120k miles?

    :favorites13: I had an '09 5.7 in a 1500 throw a rod out the side of the block, the rest of the engine still looked decent yet, it would've went a lot longer if the rod had hung in there... it had 239,000 miles on it...

    3.21 vs 3.92 and 2k lb tow difference what's the real deal?

    And the Disappointment in the dealership begins

    ...OK, please explain how the oil leaks past the spark plug sealing ring and gets the plug wet...while the engine is running....just think about it...on the compression stroke, it can hit up to 200 psi....don't you think it would also blow the oil out the spark plug tube, past the coil, and all...
