OVER TWO MONTHS AND 70 FUKIN POSTS!! GO GET A FUKIN TRUCK ALREADY!!!

 

The left front headlight is torqued down. I swear it is....


And for the clay, well, that's possible.

 

Thats why you want another 2nd gen......2nd gen IS Dodge Forum.

 

Only issue we had with our Hemi was 2 melted pistons with chunks missing.. Other than that its a great truck!! only got 65k on it

 

Yeah ONLY 2 melted pistons with chunks missing.....

 

Hey the damn thing still ran like a hell hound.. Only had a little shudder at about 1200 rpm..

 

Vdub talked to my engine machinist who does lots of Chevy and Chrysler makes. I brought in a intake for dipping and he asks.... is it from a 5.7? I said no cmon I got a magnum. He says OK Cuz I'd tell to sell it today! I said why? He says the 5.7s drop valves like no other.

Take it fwiw.

 

Get a 1st gen cummins. They use a VE44 injection pump like old VW diesels, so you will have a leg up already.

 

I know the 4.7's drop valves like *****, and the valve springs on the 2003 Hemis are bad. And the early Hemis are notorious for "Hemi-tick" from the valve train.

But then, we're known for bad intakes, cracked heads, crappy transmissions, bad steering, death wobble, bum LSD's and crappy brakes.

 

Hey we're known for all those! AND atrocious gas mileage!

And running despite all those problems lol
