Motors are built in Italy. QC is not great and the crank journals are too narrow resulting in crank flex under high torque low rpm’s. When the crankshaft flexes it rips the crank bearings and boom. Life sucks. I traded a 2016 hemi for a 2016 eco diesel a few years ago primarily due to better fuel economy. Granted I had no problems with my eco I traded back to a 2016 hemi due to the high eco diesel failure rates. I replaced the intake manifold at 55k miles on the eco due to being filled with soot. I’ll look for a picture and post it up shortly. I was shocked at how much soot had collected. The eco diesel drove like a Cadillac, provided great fuel mileage and had great low end torque for towing. After reading about so many crank failures, EGR coolant leaks, fires and fuel pump issues I had to convince the wife I didn’t do my due diligence in researching the eco and wanted back in a 1500 with the Hemi. it was a tough sell since she was not on board with the original trade but all is good now . Love my high mileage no tick hemi.
