- 5.7 Hemi 2WD Quad Cab
Long story short, original engine (5.7) with 165K mils on it started developing the inevitable "tick" and it didn't go away after replacing the exhaust bolts... So drove it for a bit and as I was preshing on the gas one morning it started shuttering and sputtering and code came up with CEL.
Had it taken in to a reputable shop and it indeed h ad a lube on the cam and a lifter that went out (Cylinder #3)
1 week later and $9K later, new engine was installed from LKQ with a 4 year - unlimited mileage warranty (including labor)
Not happy about it, but I guess I'll see how long this engine will last... I average about 38-45K miles per year so we shall see.
