I have an '08 2500 with no MDS.

Either DCX invested in two different technologies for the same engine (which wouldn't surprise me) or their website is screwed all to hell. Their challenger page says it's VCT also http://www.dodge.com/en/2009/challen...rmance/engine/ . Everything i've read says they're using cam phasing...how would they make VVT work on a pushrod engine anyway?

Does anyone know if they're using the old hemi (our hemi's) in the 09 2500's? The pic on their site shows the old intake manifold, TB and alternator positions. Link is in the quote.
