Just clicked 102k and everything was great. Of course, I had the Hemi tic, unable to eliminate even with RedLine/Wix.
Then BANG. Exiting my car wash I could barely keep it running. Ran like **** but got it to a Ram dealer. They found zero compression on #8 so a long block is the probability. Anyone else experience this? Code P0300.

Sounds like the cam lobe on cyl 8 intake is flat. No intake on #8 ...no Compression on #8.. May just need cam and lifters and not long block..

Yep, I agree. Finally got the warranty company (Veritas Global) to come thru! Worst extended warranty company I have ever seen.
