This was posted on another Ram forum. I have not seen this anywhere else but in this posting that appears in the last few days. I sure hope it isn't a common problem.

And so it begins. The first (unverified) commentary from a guy who claims to be a dealer mechanic, replacing 11 hurricane engines so far. All bearing failures.

Some quotes to save you the effort of clicking:

If you're changing the oil yourself you better save the receipt for the oil and filter your going to need it to prove you changed it when it fails. I have replaced 9 of those engines so far and I'm waiting for 2 more to come in they are on restriction.


All fairly low miles and all had bearing failure except one it was overheated none were locked up mostly engine noise and oil pressure fault codes.
 
My local dealer said hes seeing bearing failures on Hurricanes that tow regularly..everyone here has at least 2 boats. I have 3 and 6 other trailers I tow...
.I would not buy one
.
 
If this is the dealer service guy from reddit, I wouldn't trust a word he says. Mark, whos arguably the highest volume dealer in the country isn't seeing these issues
