I'm not a fan of it, I disabled mine. Completely different issues. They both have displacement on demand systems, but you may as well claim that the reason they're failing is because they're both v8's. Correlation != causation. Disabling MDS does nothing to mitigate this. Engines that come...

The issue is poor hardening/materials, they were orginally designed to have billet cams but cheaped out in production. Billet cams are machined from a solid block, they are much harder. Hemi's just have surface hardening, and once that outside layer is degraded its came over. The one scientific...

It's not a thing, sorry.

No. What's crazy is Ram having the 392 on the shelf and sticking it literally anything with wheels, EXCEPT for the ram 1500. Yeah, no.

Oh dear. This "MDS" myth just won't die will it. It's not an MDS issue. It's a parts/manufacturing issue which also seems to be affecting the pentastar to some extent. There are no guarantees with FCA's history that your hurricane doesn't also start eating cams.

This isn't due to MDS. 6.4 has the same "issues" as the 5.7, no better, no worse. You have a very low probability of getting lifter/cam issues. I have less than 0 interest in a small high strung turbo. A beefy NA v8 with extra power for towing? Sign me up! 6.4 is better than the 5.7 Ok...

Until they bring out the 6.4 ... there is always something left to complain about! Does anyone understand that decision? They stuff that 6.4 in the Jeep GC, Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Durango, Chrysler 300. The WRANGLER gets it, the most useless engine upgrade ever...

You're the one posting in a thread you want to pretend you care less about than me. And nobody said "worry". The word I used was "curious".

Ford lightning, that's a little drastic don't you think? Install an oil filter relocation kit. Like $200 for the parts, maybe an hour labour from a good mechanic, and you never have to worry about this again.

As of now, this poll result looks like a middle finger lol. Ironic on a thread discussing "offensive language".

I've used Blackstone about 9 times now but it's weeks, month to month and half before getting any results back. Shouldn't really matter as it's not time sensitive but I seem to be getting more impatient 🤷‍♂️ Might have to switch. Edit: i'd love to read the report also if you don't mind sharing.

This is kind of what I was getting at with this thread; saying "your truck is used as a grocery getter" is not the same as saying "WTF did you buy a truck for? You should buy an EV instead you terrible human". The first is a simple fact, the second is attempted shaming, they're not the same...

The DRL's in the top image looks 1000 times better than the bottom one. Both trucks are just renderings, but the bottom one looks like real headlights in the 5th gens, and the top one looks like what it should have been (without the silly frosting); just two thin-ish razor sharp white lines. I...

This is true. I've been called out for "hauling air" most of the time 🤷‍♂️ Greenies. They want me to buy an EV and rent a truck when I need one. Not a chance.

You're mixing the threads up, I said that in the other one. But yes I am moving on. 🛻
