Totally agree with the above. Our '01 360 has been great except for the gas mileage. The pinging, in the beginning, was a major PITA until the dealer death flashed it, been ok since. Currently it's at 165k and it runs great with no leaks or pinging. Our 2011 5.7 has also been good/reliable and it's at a low 46k miles. It gets bit better gas mileage and more power. Both purchased new and only get driven about 10k miles per year.

I belong to any club/magazine/website that has Mopar on it. It was an article of one of the magazines, and the modern V-10 is very much different then it's older brother

it has direct fuel injection and traction control while the magnum is throttle body with individual injecters bt some 5.9 have a danna rear end transmission with a 3 piece axel put the hemi in front of that danna shell be way more power full
