2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

[BowDown]

Okay, to each his own opinion, but I have question for all the Hemi professional mechanics here about the Hemi "lifter noise".

I've had 4 Hemis in my 1500s ('14, '17, '19, '22) and now have my '25 Limited Hurricane. For my business, I will have short drives of maybe under 5 minutes. After shutdown and restarting about 5 minutes later, ALL of the Hemis' lifters rattle on startup. I've never had any vehicle from another other brand do this.

All of these vehicles were leased new for my business and all had under 36K miles when turned in.

Any idea of what could cause this? Seems like a oil pressure/pump situation?

Hemi is built simpler and to be a longer lasting engine, but it’s rare that the engine fails either way. The etorque is a no-go for me too. If the choice was between the I6 and a straight-up hemi with no etorque and no MDS, that’d be a harder choice, but I’d still lean I6.
