Purchased 2016 RAM 4X4 5.7 HEMI from auction. It was listed as a Start & Drive, not the case. Motor had been ran hot and a ton of oil blow by. I'm pretty sure the RAD had a leak that the previous owner tried to repair using some type of epoxy. Nice truck and I've already got another motor from a 2019. When I have the time I will pull the original motor down to see just what happened. I have a 2000 Dakota 4x4 Ext Cab w/ 3.9 256K miles on it. I'm thinking about rebuilding the 5.7 with some machine work. Should be fun. I'm wanting to replace the torque converter in the 16. It has the 8sp trans. Having a hard time locating one. Ordered a new solid aluminum RAD w/extra capacity, tstat, tuner, tires, oil catch. If anyone could point me in the direction to a quality torque converter I would really appreciate it. The Ford 6.0 build was fun and I enjoy it, however, I'm starting to like this RAM, except for the starter location, that's BS.
