2015 1500 hemi 199k ... I purchased the truck (first Hemi) for 500$! so I knew it had issues... Lol The previous owner(a long time friend...def not a mechanic! Lol) said it blew up and had me tow it home for him. After purchasing it, I found the battery was weak and the truck wouldn't run... Only start and die! After puting a fresh battery on it, it started and ran! And the motor sounded great actually!.. But was burning oil from somewhere! Now, this truck was his daily driver and it hadn't smoked up til he "blew the motor"! Now, I would think the rings would generally wear out over time, but would also think it would have been smoking a while... As bad as it's currently smoking! Could the rings have broken or is there somewhere else I should be looking? Like a common problem with Hemis... such as the intake gaskets on my 3.8s! Or do you believe it's the rings and I need to rebuild it? Thanks for any input!
