Hole in Block from corrosion.

[Bubbles8v92]

2019 1500 Longhorn 70,000 miles , noticed a water leak, found the top of the oil filter housing (which is literally part of the Block) has a hole rotted into it right below the sensor. Patched it up with jb weld. I did some swearing at first but no leaks yet. Has anyone else had this problem?

Was there a pipe plug in that hole?

No i put it in because i didn't want the sensor in the way for the jb weld i used to fix it

Oiled every year, theres a lot of salt in ontario yes but theres al lot of 20 year old hemis without holes in them, im wondering if they changed to filter housings on the 19 + models

Im literally 6,000 miles past powertrain warranty.

Corrosion warranty is 5 year unlimited miles.
Not sure if that applies to this but it's worth a shot.

unfortunately not, they said to buy extended warranty and then put a new motor in
