What is the best Hemi V8 model year?

[Black-Wolf]

So, what is the best, most reliable, model year for the RAM 1500 and RAM 2500 HEMI 5.7 V8, between the years of 2017 and 2024? I need a new truck (the lifters in my #3 cylinder failed [hemi-tick] and the stealership said it would cost more the $12500 [total with all parts, service fee, etc. would have been closer to $18,000 - on a 2017 that was only worth $25,000 when it was in running). I'm looking for something used - preferably in the Limited edition.

How many miles on that '17 ?

I will say the 2022 model year was the last year you could get a 5th Gen 1500 DT 5.7L v8 without the eTorque junk. (May come back as an option in 2027?)

The 4th Gen 2013-18 and 19-24 classic's didn't have eTorque either.

Is find a used engine from a reputable salvage yard. Drop it in and trade that puppy off
