Default 2500 Hemi Engine seized at only 40K miles

The engine seized in my 2004 2500 Hemi with no forewarning.

Can't understand it...since it only has 40K miles

Waiting to hear if it is covered under the PowerTrain warranty.

Anyone else have this happen??

Nope. Hope you have your maintenance records handy.

Very rare, only real engine issues I know about are that the '03 and early '04s have spring issues. Possibly what cause yours to go...

Keep us posted on this...

I have a buddy who has an 05 and with about 35k miles on his Hemi, a rod went through the block on his way to work one morning. Never figured out what the cause was, dealership replaced the whole engine.
