I could argue that it's not "engine". When I created the poll, I was thinking more along the lines of "internal engine", not electronics ("is the engine as physically tough as they claim?"). It's a gray line, but if crossed where do you stop? Throttle body? Radiator? PCM?

In the spirit of the original intent of the poll, I'd say that MAP isn't "engine".

Its certainly not a 350 chevy since I've seen many that habve 200,000 miles on them before a rebuild...but the Hemi is a good engine.

91000 miles on my 04 and the only issue it ever had was a cracked exhaust manifold while it was still under warranty. No problems since
