- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- In this video we discuss if the 5.7L HEMI engine is a good engine and how long does it last? We review several examples of high mileage 5.7L engine vehicles that I have owned and how many miles they have lasted. All vehicles are still operating fully and these are very reliable engines.
The engines discussed were found in Dodge RAM TRUCK 1500 models over the various years and generations.
Any questions feel free to ask in the comments and I will do my best to answer them!
Be sure to check out the other RAM Maintenance, Upgrade, and Performance videos on this channel! We are also working on project HellRAM and supercharging this 100k mile truck and documenting the full build on the channel 👍👍👍
BoostedMotorsports i currently own a dodge magnum rt of course with that 5.7 hemi. On the odometer is reading 136000 and still runs fucking good.
I know I should my own research which I am.. but between a 2018 5.7 ram and a Tacoma trd same year. can you give me some insight as far as retaining value etc?
I need tips on better gas milage on my 2014 ram the exact same one as in this video any help please I'm getting 16.8 right now?

Too bad you sold this truck before you actually did any of that
Got my ram at 140,000 miles used! I use it every single day for work and out of town trips and now it has 250,000 miles still running strong 💪🏾 mopar HEMI 🤠.
that gives me hope for mine.
What year man
What year is yours?
2004
Just bought mine 2013 Hemi 4x4 1500 , thanks for the info!
2009 Hemi Sport. 262,000 miles and still doing great. Best truck I've ever owned in my life.
Have you ever had to replace any major parts in the engine?
@@chopvtec I had to replace the camshaft 3k never buying a ram again did all the regular maintenance
Did it have the normal tick? Mine has started doing it at around 168k miles, I’ve read a lot that the tick is normal and nothing to worry about and others say the engine is ready to go. Just curious how long I have till it’s going to need work.
@@dakotakelly9371 my 5.7 ticked bad since I got it at 117k miles and ended up being the spark plugs out of all things. Definitely was a relief considering I was thinking cam/ lifter problems.
I did get the "tick" early on but my dealer replaced the broken studs for "free" with a 300 dollar deductible. Somehow, we the people always get screwed. I complained about them telling me when I bought the truck that it had an unlimited power train warranty but they were gaffing me for something involved in the power train. His response was that anything "outside the block" was not power train. Oddly enough, very shortly after I made my initial comment, I was driving home from a GF's house one evening and the rear end locked up and the driveshaft snapped. Pretty gnarly event. My usual mechanic wanted nearly 4500-5K to repair with all new parts. Something about the rear end of 2009 and up being more expensive. Anyway, I called a buddy who works at a Dodge dealership parts counter and asked him for assistance in finding a lightly used rear end for my truck. He asked for the VIN and when I gave it he said, "Are you aware that there is a open recall on your truck for the pinion nut? Just tow it here and we'll fix everything for free." So I did. That was last September. Was very stoked to get a new rear end and drive shaft after 265K+ miles. They did recommend replacing the front wheel hubs as they were beat. I did that repair on my own with decent quality aftermarket hubs. Motor is still doing fine. I've performed every oil change on it, I use Valvoline full synthetic with one quart of Marvel substituted. Dumped one coil when accelerating hard one morning at @125K. Replaced it. No problems since then. I love my truck!
i have 340.000 miles on my hemi, original engine on my 03 ram. its 2019 now.
Just bought one from having a ford for years ford are not reliable
Is your 03 dodge gas or diesel
Does it have the tick?
I've got a Durango with the 5.7 Hemi. Probably need to do the exhaust bolts cause it ticks when cold, but other than that it runs great. She's got plenty of power and makes our family happy.
Robert Zucchari he said he has a hemi that means it’s a gas.
Bought my first Ram in 2011. It's a 08 Ram 1500 Lone Star 5.7L V8. Bought it with less than 40K on it. Has about 180K on it now. No problems whatsoever. More than ample power, never failed to start. Love It ! Had Ford F-150s before and they're good trucks, but Ram really delivers.
As a former dodge tech, I must correct you on the cam and lifters. It is not year specific, however I have found it to be mds specific.(to my knowledge the first gen 5.7s did not suffer from this issue.
The only 5.7s I ever saw that had cam problems were police chargers and oil field work trucks.
#1 cause of failure is extended periods of idle time. Idling for extended periods of time causes the roller on the tappet to seize, therefore making it slowly eat down into the cam lobe, effectively shortening valve travel, which in most cases shows up as a misfire.
This is not something that happens over night. Typically found in cylinders 3,4,5 and sometimes 6.
Some other things that you did not mention are that the early 5.7s were prone to idler pulley failures and water pump failures. Also, some newer generation 5.7s were plagued by bad timing chain guides. There is a recall for this. The timing chain and guides both get replaced. Some like to break exhaust manifold bolts, seems to depend on driving habits/conditions.
Otherwise, good vid bud. 👍
Good info!
Why does the roller not like idling?? Oil flow too low at idle?
lee hancock I guess it depends on who you ask really, but I believe they produce sufficient oil pressure, (ive never seen one that didnt carry excellent oil pressure) if not there would be problems showing up in the rest of the valve train.
For instance the hydraulic tappets in the 5.7 are kind of finicky and want lots of pressure. Some people think it has something to do with the force the tappets are exerting on the roller, meaning at idle there is so much force being applied that over a long period of time idling it's just too much for the oil flow to handle, and some think it is to do with the extra resistance to the oil flow as the multiple displacement system is run on oil pressure.
Either way I believe what happens is when the engine idles for an extended period of time, (and we're talking an like an hour or more at a time), oil pressure is diminished just enough right at the roller and nowhere else to cause enough heat build up between the roller and the cam lobe (for whichever reason it may be) that the oil that is making it there is not enough to overcome the heat. Therefore if the idle were raised to say 1000 or 1200 rpm when idling for a long time, I doint believe it would ever be an issue.
If your worried about this happening to your engine, don't. As long as your daily routine doesn't involve letting it warm up for ridiculous amounts of time from dead cold, (which can cause a few other nasty problems over time), or letting it sit around and idle for hours on end, your fine. That, and the other big thing to remember with an mds hemi is to ALWAYS KEEP CLEAN OIL IN IT!!! So many people go 7,000, 10,000 miles or more between oil changes and then when the engine no longer can deactivate 4 cylinders on the highway from sludged up oil passages, somehow it's the engines fault... let's all keep in mind here that extended periods of idle time isn't good for any engine.
Unburnt Fuel Police Chargers getting new engines due to lifter roller failures at less then 100,000 km. even when using Mobil 1 synthetic oil at 5000 km. Interval. Still an issue with 2016 and 2017 models. 3.6 l is even worse, every Police cruiser needed multiple engine repairs before end of warranty so we stopped buying 3.6 l. It was very rare for a Ford
4.6 to have an engine problem other then a water pump.
benjaminwayneb Fortunatley for me I never had to have much interaction with the 3.6, so I'm no help there, but I've never replaced an engine for tappet roller seizure. I can certainly understand why, shavings introduced into the oil, but I've never had one come back with an issue. I also never had one that was ran for long once the customer noticed an issue. Clean oil multiple oil changes later, and nothing in the oil filters when cut open. Run them too long with a seized roller maybe?
I bought my 05 Dodge Ram Hemi-Sport back in 07. I have never had anything major go wrong with it over the last 14 years. Still starts and drives almost as good as when I bought it and I still really love it. I plan to buy a brand new Ram this year but will keep this truck and keep her going, she's been reliable.
I have a 08 4.7 Ram 1500 and it works great with 135000 miles on it. I changed the oil every 6000 miles...changed the transmission fluid every 60000 miles....upper plugs ever 30000 miles and lower plugs at 120000 miles. I also changed the rear end fluid every 30000 miles. Runs like brand new.
I bought a 17 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi and it has only 5000 miles but I was so impressed by my 08 I had to buy another Ram.
Thats awesome congrats on the new truck!!! When you get a chance check out the other RAM content on the channel! We have a ton of maintenance, upgrades, and performance related content for our trucks on this channel and also are documenting the full supercharger build on this truck 😎
First of all, thank you for taking some of your time to make this video for many of us that are interested in this information. I'm in the process of buying a 2005 Dodge Ram with the 5.7 Hemi engine and because of your video you have given me confidence purchase this truck. The engine sounds so strong and it runs so evenly but your video has pushed me over the top. I own a 2001 Dodge Durango with the 4.7 v8 engine and I've owned it for 6 years and I have never even changed a spark plug in it. It runs so good set my 19 year old son has demanded I not get rid of it because he wants it. Again, thank you for making this video and taking your time because I truly believe time is a precious commodity that we never get back so this was time well spent. I wish you well you and your family.
I've had two 05 hemis I bought both with over 150k. It really depends on how well they were maintained and treated.
Just bought a 2019 Ram with a Hemi " I'm 58 years old. Maby it's the last one I'll ever by.
How do you know?
Congrats
The redesigned 2019 or the classic?
Have fun with that money pit! Very bad quality with dodge/Chrysler. Especially! After they got involved with fiat
Dr. Kaufmann stfu
i was told going into the truck market they all have their issues buy the one that you love because you are going to be putting money into it to fix it eventually.. i bought my used 2015 R/T ram and never looked back. I Don't use the MDS i always turn it off i believe this will help it out. just passed 94,000kms no issues yet.
I strongly believe its how you treat your engine, i always run the best oil, always keep up with maintenance, also i always give er plenty of time to warm up before i drive it. alot of people neglect to do all these things and bitch when the truck breaks down or has issues.
so many negative people i talked to that knew nothing about trucks.. RAM this RAM that. 1 year later all the shit talkers with there 5.0s.. ECO BOOMS... Vortecs etc have been in the shop for recalls.. repairs.. not me.. i don't drive the shit out of mine. Treat her right and she will treat you right.
Yeah I agree! All brands have their own issues and there will always be that hardcore guy that has something to say about a different brand lol. Even some of the comments in here are funny. Yes there were some problems with the cam in some of the 5.7L engines but think about how many of these engines are out there. People only come to the internet to complain when they have a problem but not usually when they are running great so you have to take that into consideration when deciding if its an issue to be worried about. 👍
Diezel C.P no
thanks for the reply, i subbed man.
Thanks brother! Plenty more videos on the way and new content every other day! A lot more mods on the way for the RAM! 👍
You should make a video about your ram rt !! 👍🏽👍🏽 and review on the suspension, engine ect.
I own the 06 Dodge Charger 5.7, currently 160k miles. Runs like dream. Great engine.
Still going?
@BoostedMotorsports Thanks for posting this 👍 I just bought a 2012 RAM 1500 5.7 L Hemi with almost 80,000 miles on it. It's good to know that these engines can last a good long time.
I test drove 2019 trucks from other brands and you can definitely feel the boost in performance when you drive the Hemi.
Good to hear these are really dependable. I just bought a 2009 2500 with a 5.7 Hemi and 175,000 miles. I was really impressed with it when I drove it at the dealer. I was originally there to look at a used Ford, but they sold it before I got there. I am so glad i go this truck instead. Drove it on a 400 mile road trip today and still freaking love it!
How is it doing now?
@@cristianlopez-st7zg The engine is doing really good, except for the gas mileage. I had issues off the bat with the fuel pump, which the dealer said they replaced but clearly didn't. After their "replacement" I started having issues with the check valve and would have to turn the key on/off a bunch of times to get the truck to start. I replaced the pump again myself and have not had a problem since. I did have an exhaust manifold crack, but warranty fixed that too. Engine itself has been solid.
@@cristianlopez-st7zg And it's just shy of 195k now.
I’m looking to get the same truck 14’ hoping that she will do me good, I would rather get a diesel but I won’t work enough for it to make sense to purchase
My 03 Ram 5.7 Helmi has about 250,000 miles and runs great
So far my 07 Ram 5.7 is at 247,000 miles on it and runs great. motor mounts are trashed but that will be fixed some day lol
Hell yeah thats awesome Tony glad to hear your truck is still running strong too! Let me know what you think of the other RAM and Dodge videos on the channel too when you get a chance!
My 07 has 153,000,, still running great,,,hope it sees 247,000 miles !!!,,trucks in Kentucky now,, originally came from Massachusetts so it does have some rust though !!
The ‘08 5.7 in my Jeep just hit 125k miles, still runs smooth as butter with pennzoil platinum high mileage. It’s so smooth sitting at a stop light I can barely tell it’s running if it wasn’t for the exhaust 😆
I just brought a 10 grand Cherokee limited 5.7 my 14 v6 got totaled out I’m really liking this hemi hopefully I love it like I was my 14 JGC
thisa is good to hear seeing as I just bought a 2019 ram
Congrats! The new 2019 model is super nice! Hopefully should be getting one on the channel here shortly!
@@BoostedMotorsports same here I got the 2019 classic and love it
what ever they tell you never keep the oil in that engine for more than 5000 kilometres not miles
@@hassiri oh yeah?
@@hassiri sounds like I need to do a oil change now then cause I have around 3000 miles left to do one according to my dash
My brother has a 2012 sport with 230,000 miles and has done nothing to it. I have a 2014 ecodiesel Laramie with 112,000.miles and it still runs perfect.
Thats awesome! I was debating the EcoDiesel as well. They get unreal mileage but with all the emissions crap that the US requires on the diesels I wasn't sure I wanted to go down that road. 06 and older diesels don't have the crazy emissions equipment so I was debating getting a 2006 2500 Cummins but I don't think I could give up the nice interior and ride quality of the newer trucks.
Dam bro 230k is a lot for a 2012
Putting in those miles! Love seeing these trucks get worked and holding up! 👍
Do you still have that eco diesel!? And if so how many miles now?? And also how many miles you think you’ll get out of that puppy??!!
My father actually called to correct me today. He said the truck is over 900,000kms now lmao
I use my 14 commercially taking Airstreams Ohio to west coast & other TTs & boats back. Love the Ecodiesel & 8 speed 400,000 miles run all day every day like a big truck. Ecodiesel pushed out head gasket at 371.
The 5.7L is a beast that needs to be woken up out of factory. It's tough as nails! Congrats on the channel growth man, you deserve it. Keep up the great work
Damn you have that many miles on your EcoDiesel? I was debating getting one but wasn't sure about the reliability. Any other issues or just that headgasket at 371k?
Thanks brother! I agree these engines are pretty fun once you start doing some mods! Thanks again for the support! Trying to get to at least your level of subscribers. We should maybe do a collab, might help introduce some of our mopar fam to eachothers channels.
Are you close to NY? I think that would be really cool though to collaborate on a couple of videos.
I had a 2014 5.7 hemi sport that had over 100,000 kms on it and it was a fantastic truck. Liked it so much I traded it in for a brand new 2017 hemi sport 5.7 last year which I currently have now and thanks to the channel is getting modded out really nice.
Keep up the good work man these videos are super helpful for guys who enjoy some affordable and clean modifications.
Appreciate the positive feedback Jeff! Congrats on the new truck! I'll promise to keep doing my best to bring tasteful and affordable mods for the channel! Next video out tomorrow! Posting new content every other day!
I have a 2013 with a 170,000 miles still running good
I had my cam replaced at 150,000 miles. 188 now and everything is great. Also I went 170thousand miles before my first break job.
My 2004 3500 Diesel has 560,000 miles so far
my neighbor has a 2002 with 740,000 miles.
The best truck ive ever had and i still have is the 04 ram 5.7 hemi magnum its been 14 years and i drive up to 60 mile a day and still works.
HOw many miles is on it now?
It's not a Magnum if you have the Hemi bud. The 5.9 V8 is the Magnum. Unless you have the 5.9 diesel
@@fiestameisterse5868 I have an 04 Ram 1500 Laramie and that has a 5.7 L Hemi Magnum just checked.
Yes they are Magnums I have a 2004 2 door Hemi 1500 the badge says
HEMI
5.7L
MAGNUM
It's an SLT model
Mines got 215 on the dash
@@el701viajesprivados8 just curious... right now this winter I'm getting an average of probably 11 1/2 miles to the gallon. I've seen as low as 7.6 miles to the gallon when I was pulling my trailer. I have never seen 15 miles to the gallon with it. Only 88,000 miles on the truck
I just bought a 2017 Ram 1500 5.7 Limited, it has 113,200 miles on her and she still feels like a new truck, nice and tight with gobs of power. It even still looks like a new truck. It's delmonico red pearl coat, I love the Ram boxes to. I've had 7 Ram truck in my years from 1996, 1999, 2001, 2007, 2016, 2017 and 2019. I have NEVER had any problems with any of them. They have been REALLY GREAT trucks.
I just bought a 2004 Ram 1500 4WD Quad Cab with the 5.7 and I love it. Long-time Ford guy. Current truck is a Chevrolet 1500. My "new" Ram has 114K miles on it. Was owned by a family friend who had dementia and let the oil run about five quarts low(!) and still had the original spark plugs in it. 16 spark plugs and an O2 sensor later and it runs great. I am very impressed by this truck, to say the least. Think I'll keep it for awhile.
This is the first of your videos I have watched. Just subscribed! Great info here.
Thanks for the support brother! I would look into a catch can if you plan to keep it for awhile. I thought it was BS but after putting one on my truck its pretty crazy how much junk it catches that would get spit back into the intake. Check out this vid I just made on what it caught on my truck. Ton of content on the way and we will be supercharging my 5.7 on the channel in the next couple months. Just picked up the kit the other day for it!
ruclips.net/video/OIZaPA_VwNc/видео.html
08 slt quad cab blue metallic 210kmil now and runs like new with zero issues, I've had 6 rams now and all of them have been really reliable for me, I keep up with my maintenance very well and I believe that makes any vehicle run forever without issues.
Thats awesome! Glad to hear your truck is running strong too! Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on this channel when you get a chance too! 😎
My 2004 has 240,00 miles on it, still going strong!
I'm on my 3rd Ram now. First was a 2005 Hemi QC Slt sold it with 98k miles, 2nd was a 2008 Hemi QC Sport sold it with 75k miles. Now have a 2017 Hemi Crew Slt with 16k miles that is my daily driver. Mechanically my 2005 & 2008 were both great, I only got rid of them to trade up into nicer rams before 100k miles. My only complaint with them was the common rust area above the wheel wells on the bed. I am currently enjoying better mileage on the 2017 from the 8sp transmission that is netting me 20.1 mpg combined (80% highway, 20% city) which is up from 16mpg on the 2008. Great channel, very informative, keep the mods coming!
Great to hear you're having good luck with these trucks too brother! Also thanks for your support on the channel. I have a lot planned so should be fun to see how fast the truck ends up!
the 5.7 is a great engine!
I bought a new 2008 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4, quad cab w/8' foot bed w/5.7 Hemi engine. I currently have 197,000 miles, no engine, transmission or drivetrain issues! I did have to replace the pwr steering unit at three year interval (2011). Normal maintenance, i.e., tires, brakes, fluid changes (no leaks) per manual, (oil & filter change every 10,000 (full synthetic), tune-up at 80,000 & 160,000 (w/fuel rail clean) miles. High Test Fuel only. Not a week goes by that this truck does not see 100 mph. Love this truck !
Awaiting my new 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 crew cab w/6'-4" bed w/5.7 Hemi !!
Hell yeah thats awesome! Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on this channel too when you get a chance! We have the 600hp supercharged RAM build fully documented on here too 👍😎
Have an 05 with 200k been on 2 three day trips good to go other than your normal wear and tear repairs 💪 HEMI!!!!!
🤘🤘🤘
I have a 2008 Jeep Commander with 208k miles on the 5.7 Hemi. It runs great...no problems so far. I'm the original owner. I used to tow a 24 foot travel trailer with it. Best motor I have ever owned. It doesn't use any oil between changes if I run high mileage motor oil. It uses a quart every 1500 miles or so if I run full synthetic.
Was looking into a 2008 commander 5.7 on carfax 130, 000 miles or so but had 4 owners..should i get it
Just bought a 2019....and regret selling my 2005; I gave that truck hell and never let me down, hoping my 2019 behaves the same
@Brennan Martini great so far....no, I haven’t had any kind of exhaust issues at 26k.
BoostedMotorsports, Hello, I am the original owner of a 2005 Dodge Power Wagon 3/4 ton with a 5.7 liter Hemi. I currently have over 150,000 miles (I'll let you do the km conversion). My truck looks and runs like the day I drove it off of the lot back in '05. It is an exceptional truck. I did have to change one cracked exhaust manifold, motor mounts and one battery. So again, exceptional truck. It's seen it's share of mud, sand and one meter deep water. Years ago I had a hand-me-down, full size Dodge van with a 318cc engine. I sold it with 215,000 thousand miles and it still ran great. My latest purchase was a new 2016 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with a shaker hood and a 6.4 hemi. I have high hopes for it as well. Bottom line: Mopar or no car. Thank you for your video and your patience. Best regards, Robert
Thats awesome Robert! Glad your having great luck with your vehicles as well! I've had pretty good luck with the brand for a bunch of vehicles right from a 00 Dakota to an SRT-4 to a SRT-10 Ram, 99 RAM 1500, 05 RAM 1500, 2009 RAM 1500, and now 14 RAM 1500. Plenty more videos on the way! 👍
Thanks for putting up this information. Im considering getting a Sport as well, glad to hear that nobody is having any major problems.
Thanks Jason! Be sure to check out all the other RAM content we have on the channel with a lot of performance and upgrade videos too! 👍
I have have owned a 2001, 2008 and a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi and had no engine or transmission problems. Ram has come a long way in quality, performance and reliability even since my first 2001.
If you want a long lasting Chrysler, maintain it very well.
As a former Service Advisor who worked for Chrysler many years ago, Chrysler vehicles that are maintained very well, outlast the competition.
The problem is that most Chrysler owners are clueless that they even they have to do an oil and oil filter change and then they wonder why their Chrysler breaks down.
I agree that these engines definitely last a long time if maintained correctly! There is always some luck involved too 😎
BoostedMotorsports
Agreed that there is some luck involved but that is just a small part of the pie.
Luck is, when opportunity meets preparation.
As an owner of many Chrysler vehicles since I got my license 30 years ago, the vast majority of the vehicles that me and my family have owned have been Chryslers. Due to the fact that we are meticulous when it comes to maintenance, our Chryslers have only given us many years of trouble free motoring.
WHEN people start taking responsibility in their lives, that is when things work out for the better, although it may take awhile.
Just this week I went and bought a 2012 1500 sport with the 5.7L. Clean truck from Colorado with 218k, I bought it here in ND. Clean carfax and from everything I could find it's all original. No rust anywhere and spent a hour looking the truck over before a test drive. I have put a few miles on it now and I am very happy with it. I have done mechanical work for the last 14 yrs so I figured anything that breaks I could fix. My first truck was a 68 f100 and then a 94 f250 that I had forever. If this ram is half as good to me as my 94 I will easily get 400k on the odometer. I dont beat my vehicles but, I do not baby them either. Maintenance is top priority, bumper to bumper.
I have the 4.7 magnum with 300k with no problem it’s all in how you take care of them.
Thats awesome John glad to hear your engine is running strong too! If you get a chance check out the other RAM videos on the channel and let me know your feedback there too! Would love to get your thoughts on the other videos as well! 👍
I bought my 3rd gen, 2005 Hemi 1500 SLT and it has 156,000 miles and it’s still going strong. I just changed my water pump today 4/14/18.... and I love it. I’m selling mine and getting a getting a 2016 Laramie fully load with 5.7 Hemi and I can’t wait. I bought my 05 new and have done 98% of all the maintenance on it.
Thats awesome! Glad you've had a pretty good experience too! I've had great luck so far with these trucks too! When you get a chance check out some of the other RAM DIY and upgrade videos on the channel! Would love to hear your feedback on those too and some pretty cool stuff you can do with your 2016 when you get it! 👍
Awesome Information!! I just bought a 2017 1500 Laramie, with 20k miles and I am in love
👍👍👍
2012 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 CC, bought it with 75k miles 1 owner. When I test drove it threw a CEL, got it home and read the codes. Misfire in 3. Turned it back to dealer next day and told them I needed to know how bad it was. Dealership fixed it ($3900 + 80$ for a broken manifold bolt) as a part of the sales agreement. Newcam and #3 lifter. I disable MDS manually now, for what that is worth, until I break down and decide to get a tuner (HP). If the cam and lifter go out again. Guess that means a better cam and lifters will be in the future.
I got to drive one of the SRT10 when I lived in Michigan, step dad is an electrical engineer for Chrysler :) helluva truck!
As always, great video man.
That's brother!!! Yeah I would turn that negative into a positive and upgrade to a badass performance cam!!! 🤘🤘🤘
My 05 has 348,000 and still going strong.had to put a rear in at at 275,000 other then that all Original
Damn thats what I'm talking about! These damn trucks go forever. They really aren't lying in the commercials when they say longest lasting trucks lol
My o4 ram 1500 5.7 l hemi just broke 333,333 miles on it and still runs like new !!!! And I still enjoy blowing the doors off of those Ford Raptors!!!
Okie Organics the older 5.7 are rock solid.i have a 10 and a 12 no real problems yet but don't think I will have as much luck out of them.
My 05 ram and 06 Durango have the 5.7. Ram has 190000 and Durango 105000 miles. Replaced belt tensioner and rear end on Ram. There is a recall on the ram rear end, but I paid out of pocket (didn’t know about recall). No oil leaks, I use penzoil conventional 5w-20.
Thats awesome Okie! Glad yours is holding up great too! 👍
We had an 03 RAM 1500 pre-MDS. Bought it in 07 with 127000 kms. Drove it till 3 years ago and sold it with 500,000 kms. Never touched the engine, only did manifolds once. My dad used it for his business and it had a 16' trailer behind it 6 days a week. After we sold it we found out it needed a trani at 520,000. He put a used trani in and the truck is still going today. Great truck and motor.
Thats awesome John! Glad your trucks have been running great for you too! Be sure to check out the other RAM videos on the channel when you get a chance! We have a lot of maintenance and upgrade videos or our trucks on the channel! 😁
My 5.7 Hemi was awesome, right up to the point where my lifters chewed up my cam. 103k miles.
@@ShadowBannedagain dam , that’s crazy. At least warranty got ya though right ? Do you go hard on it ?? Anything you can think that may have brought it up
I have a 2013 5.7 Hemi Sport 4x4 I bought new with only 80,000 km on it so far. This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle and was starting to get concerned about the mileage. I use to hall a 30’ travel trailer and now use it to plow my lane way, plus I do like the power of the Hemi and tend to drive it a bit hard at times. I had the exhaust manifold bolts done under warranty and the 2 front fenders replaced under warranty for rust bubbling and I keep it in mint condition. Aside from that, no issues and she’s fully loaded, I love this truck! Sounds like it’s a keeper.
Awesome thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear your truck owning experience is going well too! A lot of people in the comments if you take a look have a ton of miles on these trucks! 👍
2013 Charger RT with the 5.7 Hemi, 128,000 miles and nothing but maintenance and a couple non-engine related recalls.
Hell yeah thats awesome!!! Check out the other mopar vids on this channel too when you get a chance and let me know what you think 😎
I have a 2013 Dodge ram 1500 4 x 4 Bighorn it has 167350 miles on it and I’ve had it for almost 5 years. I plan on fixing her up and keeping this truck as long as I can. It’s been a good truck.
2012 RAM 1500 250,000 miles Pulling 7,000 pound pressure washing trailer almost every day! Runs like shit underload but still runs and still pulls : )
Thats awesome!!! Glad to hear yours is running strong too!
276,000 mile Expedition 5.4 V-8. 17 years old, solid engine with proper maintenance
My first truck was a 2004 Dodge Ram with the 6v magnum engine it made it to 250k before it started smoking my new truck is a 2007 Dodge Ram 5.7 hemi and I love it
Hell yeah! Glad you are having good luck and congrats on the new truck! They are all solid ass trucks!!!
some of those smaller engines seem to get overworked.imho
Just bought a 04 ram 1500 5.7 hemi with 166k miles I love it. Definitely gonna sub for more info, being that this is my 1st pickup truck. Nice video and info keep em coming...
Excellent engines, and believe it or not, one of the most economical V8s on the market (thanks 8HP, VVT, and MDS).
There have been a small number of 5.7s out there with lifters that seize and eat into the cam, causing a very expensive repair. And first gens had valves that would pop loose and grenade the engine.
Other than that, a VERY solid engine. With FCA installing them in Chargers, Challengers, RAM, Grand Cherokees, and Durangos, it has to be reliable.
Yeah I agree with you! People only usually come to the internet when they have issues with there engine or vehicle so the problem looks exaggerated when really the odds are pretty small for it to occur.
Boosted2k Absolutely! Love your truck, by the way!
@Boosted2k : not THAT small of an issue, I bought my 2013 used in Oct 2015 with 52k mi. I'm in the states. My truck is a Canadian manufactured. I bought an extended warranty thank God. Dodge America would not cover anything. My warranty co covered the cam lifter problem. Yep, my truck @ 69,900mi had the motor replaced. Started seeing all the misfire signs and then the terrible obvious tapping from a top end lifter knock. Dodge wanted to rebuild top-end my warranty company said hell no, and they found me a salvage motor with 19k mi. Took dealership 90days to sort it out between my warranty co and Dodge!!!!
At any rate, I love the truck. It's a 1500 Quad Cab Express Tradesmen but no cargo boxes in the bed. It's got a nice deep bed, just over 6' it rides and drives very tight and I love that. Also really like the coil spring rear end. Ford's 150 just way too soft feeling for me in a truck. (I've rented them a lot) This Ram just feels and looks sporty.
New motor now has 50k mi on it and 100k my on the truck & tranny. I cannot stand the 6spd 25yrd old trans!!! It is worthless. Well, 5th & 6th gear anyway. Unless you're on the flats, unloaded, with a tail wind, those gears are worthless. Truck has ECO too but it can't stay in ECO but for a second like downhill only! I don't understand why Ram did that. Redesign the Hemi and new trans for 2013 and throw some of your left over old shit in with the new motor!!!! I read that all the express models got the old 6spd trans. It revs up too high before shifting, shifts way too late and never shifts on time. It also can't handle the pressure the Hemi can out on it. Solenoids just release occasionally without shifting !!!!
I can't wait to upgrade to a 2014 or newer. Your '14 Sport looks very sharp.
Damn good thing you had that warranty Nitro! Sorry about the bad luck you've had so far but glad you're up and running again! 👍
I have a 14 ram express quad cab with 47 thousand miles on it. Purchased it in 16 with 11 thousand miles on it. Had 1 issue with a dead battery that was replaced under warranty. 1 day I'll use your videos to do some performance upgrades. Thanks for all the info and hard work you put into your channel. ✌
Hell yeah that's awesome Ray! Thanks for your support on the channel, a lot more content on the way! 🤘
214,000 miles on my 09 running strong!
Thats what im talking about! 🤘🤘🤘
I had the cam and lifters go on my '12 Ram 5.7 right at 123,000 miles. It started as a misfire in Cylinder #3 that i couldn't figure out. The Dodge dealer told me it was gonna cost over $5k in repairs, so I traded it in. I now have a '17 Ram with the 5.7 liter Hemi engine and it has been great so far.
Damn sounds like you Dodged that bullet! (no pun intended) Glad you are enjoying the new truck though Michael! If you get a chance check out the other maintenance and upgrade videos we have on the channel. We have done a lot of bulb upgrades and inexpensive parts for our trucks that you would probably enjoy! 👍
Boosted2k Yes i didn't have much of a choice lol. It was either fix it or trade it. I didn't have $5k to pull out of my ass so i traded it in even though i didn't want to at first. This new truck is great so far, and i now have an extended warranty incase it happens again lol. I will definitely check out your other videos, and i plan on doing some upgrades in the future. Thanks!
Had a 2013 Sport Crew 8 speed sold it with 50,000 kms had no issues with it traded it for 17 High Country 6.2L love this truck. Ram makes a great truck and I'm not loyal to any brand just wanted a change. I'm from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Great video with the Lasfit license plate lights changed mine as well and also the reverse and cargo light there all the same bulb. Thanks bro
Thats great to hear! They are great trucks for sure. Glad to see you enjoying your new truck! I actually have LASFIT reverse bulbs showing up today but they are out of stock on the cargo lights. Might have to wait until next month for the cargo lights.
I have a 250,000 on my 04 Durango 5.7 never had an issue car still runs like a charm love the engine so much I have 4 other hemi cars haha
Hell yeah thats awesome! When you get a chance be sure to check out the other RAM and Viper content on the channel! We are procharging the 2014 RAM and documenting the full build here too! 😎
BoostedMotorsports awesome.!! Great channel👌👌
good to have back-ups. lol
dufus good point
same thing here. broken connecting rod on start up one day. 106k on it. many other ppl on numerous forums have stated the same thing. you got lucky.
Hey man I love your channel, and I don’t know if you’ll still get a notification to this comment being that it’s 4 years old. But what I wanted to share is I have always been a Silverado guy , however I purchased my first Ram 2018 1500 CC RWD 5.7 Hemi exactly 15 months ago. The truck had 83K miles on it and I absolutely love everything about the truck. If I had any complaint at all it would only be I wish the truck had more braking power to stop. I’ve lowered it and I’ve done a lot of your modifications you’ve featured on this channel. I recently lowered it and purchased the Diablosport platinum tuner for it and it responded very well. Last week the truck rolled 100k miles and it displayed a fault code indicating misfire #8 cylinder it was also due a complete service. I purchased all new plugs and coils and the oil and filter for the oil change. When I pulled #8 plugs one (maybe both I can’t recall) plugs were tapped closed. So I couldn’t determine anything else damaged so I proceeded with gapping my new plugs and installed the rest, changed the oil and drove the truck for a couple of days without incident. After a couple hundred miles I pulled number 8 plugs out again to check if they were closed shut again however they were not in fact they were gapped at exactly .043 just like I gapped them a few days prior. So with all this being said my fiancé and I had a road trip planned to go to Charlotte NC from Charleston SC where we live. So for the trip I wanted to try out the MPG Booster tune pre installed with my Diablosport tuner, so fillled up with 87 , turned MDS on and my fiancé drove the next 2.25 hours to Charlotte without any issues and the truck averaging 24 MPG (interstate cruising speed of about 78 MPH @ 90 degrees F and the AC on blast). We got off the interstate and topped off with 93 so I put the 91 octane tune in the truck and switched drivers. Drove the truck approximately 2 miles from that gas station and got a fault code that number 8 misfired then as we went another mile it turned into multiple misfires, skipping, smoking (burning oil) knocking and raising hell with loss of power. So we finally limped it onto my brother in laws house about 10 miles from that gas station. Once we arrived and let the truck cool down I pulled number 8 plugs again with number 6, and number 1 just randomly checking all plugs were still set gapped as I set them. However on my Diablosport monitor I could see number 8 injector not firing constantly. And if the engine sat idle it would load up with oil and burn off a hell of a smoke cloud behind me so thick it was unbelievable. So I dumped the Royal purple 5w30 I had put in it earlier in the week and replaced it with the mobile one 5w20 I had been using prior to that particular oil servicing. So with work and adult lives we had to get back home and $1500 for a tow truck to carry my truck home , and Uhaul with NO car transporter nor dolly they said my truck would fit onto, I decided to try to limp it the 235 miles back home. So stopping to top off the oil every 30-40 miles and watching each cylinder (via injector pulse) on the monitor we dropped off cylinders 8,6,and 5 was shitting the bed when the truck finally just didn’t have anymore power to push itself up another hill about 90 miles from our home. Knocking at this point we arranged for an Uber home and sent for a wrecker to return my truck to my driveway (it should be home tomorrow) what do you suspect I am going to find when I tear this engine apart at just over 100K miles blown up under normal driving conditions? Any guesses, or suggestions? Did I mess up with the change of brand or viscosity oil during my oil change ? Why was number 8 plugs tapped closed, why were they gapped as they should be after I changed them? Any ideas would be helpful. I also would like to get your information on how to obtain one of your 80 mm throttle bodies for this same build or rebuild. Thanks in advance

I totally agree the 5.7 is a great motor. For any of u guys looking in to getting a ford DO NOT get a eco boost the turbos on them always crap out because they are working way to hard for that tiny little V6 motor. Get the 5.0 V8 it is made by coyote and they are a very good motor.
lol they are not made by coyote, coyote is the code name for them.. Fox vs Coyote bro
They are not motors,they are engines,motors require an electric power source,the motors in cars are windshield wiper motors,electric window motors,starter motors,electric seat motors, etc etc etc.
@@daviddowling9830 What is a Motor mount? I guess I should stop putting Motor oil in my engine too. Why do they call it a Motorcycle? Why so serious? Lol
Just purchased a 2011 1500 5.7 sport with 110,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. First time ram owner and so far so good.
Thats awesome!!!! Check out the other RAM content on this channel too when you get a chance! 😁
My curiosity will be how the 5.7 hemi does with the etorque installed and hope long it lasts. Longer or shorter... I would suspect longer but still curious! Great channel and great info!
I have a 2011 1500 Sport 5.7 80K miles with no major issues, manifold bolts and sensors went out. Runs like a champ.
Hell yeah Alex 🤘🤘🤘
I'm buying the dame truck but now I don't what to do..
My 5.7 has been great I am the original owner bought it 2014 from the dealer, ram 1500 express regularcab. I alway change oil early, use royal purple hps lukas full synthetic formula, put a oil filter relocation kit and can use a 30 8a filter from royal purple, have long tube headers mid pipe and a diablosport 93 tune. Going to put a 6.4 non mds cam, new lifters, high lift springs, chrome moly push rods, can't wait. I wanted a srt 10 truck, but fell in love with the express when I test drove it.
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a Hemi at 140000 miles. No major issues as of yet *knocking on wood*. It's not an everyday driver since I received a company truck, but it runs like a champ when I do drive it. On occasion, I pull a 24' Travel trailer as well. Love that truck!
Thats awesome Alex! Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on this channel too! 🤘
Just out of curiosity, I see a lot of comments with high miles and still going strong. What type/brand of oil is everyone using in their rams??
Napa gold filter and Napa full synthetic oil made by valvoline.
Castrol synthetic. Been using it for 40 years and never an engine failure.
I just bought a 2016 big horn with 36k on it. Got it for $26,000. They threw in the navigation, new tires and spray in bed liner. Love it...
Jody Janelle Hi there bought the same 2016 new that you have. Still warranty on it they fixed a couple broken exhaust bolts on it 50 k or about 30000 miles that was about 3 months ago. Have a 5.7 Hemi. The rest is good no problems. Good luck to you. Take care!
@@robert19271 thanks for tip. I added the extended bumper to bumper warranty for 5 years and 60k miles. One thing I just noticed, is that the fog lights wobble a bit over bumps...
Jody Janelle Hi buddy I bought the extra warranty total 5 years 100 thousand bumper to bumper. 0 deductible same as you.If your going to keep It I think it is worth it . I think you made wise discussion getting your extended warranty . And your fog light issue is crazy. I checked mine both are ok. Thanks again take care.
just bought a 2019 ram classic 5.7 with 8 speed trans. 3 years old and has 52k on it roughly 35 thousand miles. love it so far.
Thanks for posting! I recently purchased 2009 Ram 1500 with 127,000 miles on the 5.7 Hemi. It is refreshing to know the hemi is a good solid motor. I traded a 2003 Dodge Dakota which had 233,000 miles on a 4.7 Magnum motor and was still running strong. Only reason I traded it was the front end needed alot of work and it was just starting to rust around one of the wheel wells.
Thanks for the feedback Bernie and congrats on the new truck! When you get a chance check out the other RAM content on the channel! We have a ton of maintenance, upgrades, and performance related content for our trucks on this channel and also are documenting the full supercharger build on this truck 😎
My first one in my 2012 1500 detonated at 50,000 miles. The dealer replaced everything but the right head. That was almost all highway miles. So Frankenstein that is in it now has 70,000 miles on it.
You give really good information. I've been watching a lot of your video's. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Keep up the great job on these videos. Ram is a good truck. Best looking in my opinion
Thank you for your support on the channel! I do my best on these videos to give honest and useful content! Plenty more videos on the way so stay tuned! 🙂
I have a 2007 Dodge Ram, Big Horn with 172,000 miles. Have never had an issue yet. Still running strong, but I do keep the scheduled maintenance, as recommended.
Glad your truck is running strong too! I agree regular scheduled maintenance is key for sure! Let me know what you think of the other RAM and Viper videos on the channel too if you get a chance. Would love your feedback on those videos too! 👍
I have 2014 dodge ram 1500 4x4 my miles on my truck is 135000 it still runs good
Bought my 2004 5.7 start of this last summer with 200 thousand miles put on about 60 thousand at which pulling 18ft trailer healing block wood equalling around 14000lb pounds and other then fuel pump it's Ben best vehicle iv ever owned love my Dodge all around it husls ass just needs a locking diff lol
I love my 2014 Ram, it is stock however up against a stock F150 or Chevy Silverado the ram is better.
Hell yeah Darren! I love my truck too! If you get a chance check out the other RAM videos on the channel and let me know what you think! Would love to have your feedback on some of the mods and upgrades we've been doing too!
Hard to beat chevys 5.3
Piling on ... 98 RAM 1500 bought new.. 295k miles, traded in for 05 Ram , boughf with 6k miles ... was stolen and recovered. Put 330k miles, got rear ended , flipped and totaled, now driving 16 Ram, 90k miles and still going .. no engine problems
Had my Ram since new in 2013. Been totally reliable in every way. I absolutely love this truck. I even managed 16mpg with the bed loaded and hauling a U-Haul car trailer carrying a 64 Fairlane from Philly to SE NC
Hell yeah thats awesome!!
I'm calling bullshit on a 5.7 getting 16mpg while towing. No way, no how, no never. Not calling you a liar, but maybe just really bad at math.
I bought my 2008 Jeep Commander brand new with the 5.7 Hemi. It now has 210,000 miles on it. Now problems at all except for broken manifold bolts, yet to be replaced. I have used it to also to tow a 24 foot RV trailer, with a Hensley hitch to provide a stable tow. I love the Hemi. I'm on here wondering how long it will last. I have never held onto a car beyond 140 thousand miles before, as they all start having issues. My jeep has had almost no issues all the way around. Great motor, great vehicle.
I absolutely love my 2014 ram 1500 sport 5.7L Hemi, as you mentioned with the exhaust manifolds 4 of the original bolts had snapped on me. I just replaced the manifolds with BBK shorty headers and they seem to be doing well so far just a note when using the DEI exhaust wrap your truck will smoke quite a bit until the wrap sets completely. Stopped at the convenience store last night and I thought my truck was on fire! 😕
I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500HD with the 5.7 in it. The truck has been worked hard, currently clocked at 98,300 miles. I managed to pull 10,000+lbs and the only problem with my hemi is the exhaust headers are rotted through. But she still runs strong.
Yeah these engines are beasts! Glad yours is holding up strong too! 💪
I've run fleet vehicles for decades and a well maintained and used modern gasser will go as long as you want to keep it. Synthetic oil, oil analysis and bypass filtration is next level maintenance but the real secret is keeping the vehicle clean. If a vehicle is kept glossy your attitude towards it stays right.
Good point Steve! 👍
Unless its the 4.7 😉🤭
great info. Just bought a 2014 with 115k and I love the way this truck runs
Great trucks! 💪
My 2014 5.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee has 114,000+ Mi and no problems with it! Hoping for many more miles out of it!
Thats awesome brother glad to hear yours is running great too! 🤙
09 Ram 5.7 HEMI 242,460 miles she’s still going strong 💪. Love my truck 🛻
Thanks for the info on the License Plate lights, purchased and they work great, I was looking for your video on your LED Tail Lights, was wondering what brand they were and again if they would roll in my 17. Thanks again bro!
Glad to hear that went well! My LED tail lights are actually the factory LED tail lights that came stock on the 2013+ models that have the stock projector headlights. They fit your 2017 I think you just maybe need a special harness but I know lots of people have done it.
Here is the kit to put them on your truck but im sure you could find the tail lights used somewhere and just buy the harness from these guys. Let me know if you have any other questions!
shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=13-.Tail.Kit
If I can't find the OEM's do you know of a good aftermarket, I have seen a million and 1 on ebay and amazon
I haven't had any experience with aftermarket tails for these trucks but I know DEPO or TYC are the two major brands that make factory replica headlights and tail lights. You should be okay with either of those brands but keep us posted how it works out! 👍
2014 Ram 1500 crew cab express...around 50,000 miles had to get the exhaust manifold bolts replaced. I live in an area where temperatures drop anywhere from 20-30 degrees from whatever it is during daytime. HEMIs run hot, so those bolts didn’t last long. Right now it’s got around 72,000 miles & is running great with a leveling kit & 35” tires
Thats good to hear your truck is running strong too! Yeah unfortunately we all seem to have to replace those damn bolts! Let me know what you think of the other RAM and Dodge videos on the channel if you get chance! 🤙
I bought a 04 ram with 140,000 miles and now it has 250,000 miles still running like a champ , I use this truck every single day . 5.7 HEMI way better and reliable then the 5.9 magnum 🤠.
Good to hear David! Hey that Magnum 5.9 is no joke either! We had a 99 RAM 1500 Sport and that thing had a ton of miles on it too! 😆
Yea I have to say I love the 318/360 dodge v8s also great engines known to go well over 330k and hold good compression for a very long
I agree brother! I've had good luck too! Let me know what you think of some of the other RAM videos on the channel if you get a chance. Would love your feedback there as well! 👍
I have an 02 ram 4x4 lifted with a 5.9. 179400 mi runs awesome and i pull a 39 foot camper never any worries except that in the 5 years i owned it i had to replace the rack and pinion 3 times. The only other bag thin i found is the 2002 model year got horrible gas millage i average 9 mpg loaded or empty
Just bought me an 04 Ram HEMI, 100k on it, runs like a dream!
i got a 5.7 hemi in my 2006 jeep commander with 136000 miles on it and the only thing that was changed was the water pump and one coil pack and it still runs great.
Thats awesome! Always good to hear another HEMI running STRONG! 💪
Thinking about getting a 08 commander with hemi but was told to stick with the 4.7 v8 instead..why is that ..i really like the hemi
Hey John, I had a 2011 ram sport 1500 with the hemi that I put 200,000kms and I traded it in for a 2017 ram laramie. I liked the sport but it was only a 5 speed so it felt like it was struggling to find a gear at certain speeds. The 8 speed in my laramie is way better. A lot better on fuel as well. Getting around 13L per 100kms city, 10L per 100kms hwy
Glad to hear you're having good luck with these trucks too Jason! I agree with the 5speed transmission hunting issues. My 09 was even worse once I lifted it and actually one of the reasons I sold it. With the exhaust and lift it would downshift on the highway with no load and just going up a slight incline. Was annoying having it screaming and loud when I wasn't even trying to accelerate lol
I have a 2003 Dakota with 307k miles on it. Love IT!!! Strong engine! Heat sensitive.
Thats awesome Darren glad to hear your truck is still running strong too! I had a 2000 Dakota as well that was super tough also! Be sure to check out the other Mopar content on the channel too when you get a chance!
Got a 2015 ram 92,000 running strong ! Never lets me down
Plot twist. If you want new shit for your car have your oil changed at walmart
Hahah I don't know if it's worth the headache but might work! 🤣
We have a 2005 dodge magnum R/T with about 90,000 miles and it’s already burning oil like crazy. I’ve been able to slow that issue down but we bought the car brand new having only 400 miles on it because the dealer, being an Arizona Coyotes sponsor, they gave my car to Wayne Gretzky when the magnum was first released (for publicity reasons I assume) he put those first few miles on it.
So at 35k had to rebuild the trans. Now at 90k the trans slips a bit again and we have the oil burning thing. Needless to say it’s not been my favorite car but I kept the faith in dodge and have a 2016 ram RT and a 2016 scat pack challenger today along with that old magnum - still being driven daily by the wife.
How does this engine haul? Say loaded trailer around 5-6,000 pounds? I know you touched on hauling a bit in this video...looking at a 2013.
Hauls great! That is about half the payload for these 1500 trucks and won't have a problem at all
I pull 8200lb toyhauler on a 2015 ram 1500 hemi and I love it. I feel confident going up hills or getting on the onramps. but my toung weight is too heavy I need to add airbags. Oh and I'm geared for highway I believe 3.23.
2005 5.7 HeMI 93k running like a champ
I bought my 2014 5.7 1500 ram a year ago with 30k miles. One year of hard hauling got me to 140k. No problems so far, love it.
Hell yeah thats what im talking about! These trucks are work horses and glad to hear yours is holding up!
Thats awesome, what transmission does your truck have?
i have a 2010 ram 1500 big horn with 124k miles; done all the maint and it runs and looks new! i bought this off the lot back in 2009 and knew I would keep it got the lifetime warranty ($100 deductable, they don't even offer this at my dealership anymore, wonder why lol). It's all stock but it's a great truck!
Thats awesome JP glad yours is holding up well too!
'14 Challenger RT Redline ed. 5.7l hemi, 56k original miles. Bought it with only showing 49 test miles on it. Now it has a mild mod, all new exhaust, magnaflow mufflers, diamond fire E3 plugs, 60,000 volt coil packs and cold air intake. Haven't gotten around to doing anymore mods, I'm still making payments and other things. Hoping to do a cam swap and long tube headers and pulling off the cats.
Thats a badass right you have! They are definitely fun engines to mod and respond surprisingly well! Thanks for your input brother! 👍
