      I have a 2011 Durango Crew with the 3.6 and RWD, I am wanting to know which would be the easier drivetrain swap, the 5.7 out of an RT Durango or the 392 from an SRT Durango. I know a lot of people will say to just buy one of the other models, but I'm more of the built not bought mentality. I already plan to buy a wrecked vehicle to pull everything from, but like I said at the beginning, I want to know which would be the easier way to go.

    I swapped a mmx ported 6.4 manifold on my 5.7. Used the mmx srv harness which made it so easy and is awesome for controlling that rpm switch point (which i discovered after dynoing that 4400-4450 was the sweet spot. Anyways, paired with a 85mm tb, afe intake, and tune I gained as much as 68ft lbs tq and 44hp in areas. Huge!

    It's no secret that the N/A hemis don't handle boost very well but lately I've been seeing some videos pop up and people talking about running their 5.7s reliably well past what people used to consider safe levels of boost and the only thing they did was open up the gap a little bit on the upper rings where you normally see the failures in the ringlands. I'd love to see you do something like that in your upcoming boosted hemi build and get your opinion on it.

      @@DL101ca also a lower temp thermostat doesn't really mitigate heat like you would think.
      Sure it opens sooner but that only matters at lower temps around 180 degrees. After hard driving if the block and coolant are any hotter they behave the same way.
      You would do better with fan upgrades and or a better radiator.
      Also in my opinion (considering my car came with the lower temp thermostat) i personally wouldn't have changed it because many of these motors run well at a higher "normal temperature" by design and can actually cause the motor to be temperamental and noisy under temp.
      This keeps my coolant even and my oil temps normal. And they rebound faster after hard driving.

    I have a 2018 dodge charger randomly. I have a ticking sound coming somewhere from the passenger side. You can hear it really well by the front wheel. It does not always make the sound, and it doesn’t matter if you’re driving fast or slow. Sometimes it happens at start up most of the time a couple minutes after start up when it does and then it goes away never last for more than about 40 seconds. Dealership told me that it seems like it’s coming from the solenoid, and that there’s nothing to fix I was just trying to get a second opinion if the solenoid is known for having a ticking sound releasing pressure or some thing and if that’s considered normal and something that’s OK and doesn’t need to be fixed.

I recently dropped 4.56 gears, b4 that cat, muffler, injectors, coils, k&n intake, ground straps, confirmed fuel psi, new sensors, i replaced the TC 2 years back, and still its driving like a turd at lower rpms until i get on it she FINALLY wakes up! at idle my TPS randomly jumps all over the place, the AAMCO guy said that was wrong and the 545RFE solenoids will go haywire with a jumpy tps signal. I have tested the APPS unit and its passing so im considering pinning it directly to the ECM (which I have also swapped!!!)

I think you're definitely right, 20 years ago people would think we were mad if we'd say GM and Ford both worked on a transmission together, Toyota and Subaru worked on an entire car together and Dodge and ZF worked on their own transmissions together.

    So I bought a 2020 Ram1500 5.7 2wd non E torque. Everytime I start thinking about doing engine mods, I think to myself, why not just get a junkyard 6.4 SRT motor and tranny with the ECM and plugs and just tear it down and replace the pistons for a forced induction. Go through the rest of the motor to freshen anything else up that needs it and put that into the ram. I’m looking for big HP but still able to sit in traffic with the air on.

    am a mechanic from Russia and I will tell you my opinion, Hemi has a short chain and therefore it lasts forever. My mileage is 650 and the chain is the same as new.

    Enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to the forced induction 5.7. I have both a 2006 5.7 300C and a 2016 6.4 300C SRT here in Australia. The 6.4 with 470HP absolutely hammers but there is something just soo sweet about the 5.7. Mine has over 200000 miles on it and a timing chain rattle but otherwise still uses no oil and runs sweet.

      I picked up a 06 1500 with the 5.7... absolutely love it.. and it has atleast 240k mies on it and still running strong... I chenge the oil every 3k miles... oil filter every oil change....doesn't burn oil... and is used daily.... I've read comments from others that the 5.7 can last past 500k miles if taking care of right... only thing i don't like is the mds system....you buy a truck not worrying about how much gas you use...so adding the mds to the trucks was imo extremely stupid on the designers part....I make sure to turn that mds off while town driving... and turn it on when on the open road running at 55 mph or more.

      It's not a truck but i have a 2012 Civic Si with a K24Z7 engine. It's tuned, has about 200whp and i ran it from day 1 using AMSoil SS, Redline oil or Pennzoil Platinum Ultra. 470k km later, it still runs like a champ, doesn't burn oil and doesn't leak oil. I never used High Milleage Oils in it and when i changed the Clutch at about 400k, i changed the rear crank seal at it was as soft as the Brand New OE one that went in it's place. I'd say, use quality synthetic oil of your liking and don't extend the intervals too much!

    whats your thoughts on Vortech/Procharger superchargers and their kits? They look like a much more economical and beginner friendly bolt-on option for the 06 Hemis. Is it worth the price tag at around 9 grand, or is it better to go with a traditional super charger for closer to 12k and have a tech install it? Prices are in Canadian, market is kind of bonkers up here for car parts.

      6.4L intake is a great an easy mod sir; the guys in my groups with the 5.7’s are making around 25hp and 20Ib’s of torque. You want to get 1 3/4 Longtubes to go with it. These two mods will put your truck around 450 crank horsepower with lots of low end.

      You’re better off getting shorty headers with a tune for low end torque if you don’t have that yet. If you do then sure the 392 intake will help as well

    • @bri-manhunter2654
      @bri-manhunter2654 3 года назад

      @@Mrhandyhitman. According to to multiple dyno studies and runs I’ve seen you will get more torque and horsepower everywhere under the curve with Long tubes. However, the Long tubes are expensive, and you can make a little extra power with the factory scat pack and Hellcat shorties over the factory truck logs. Richard Holdener Has done a lot of research on longtubes/ manifolds, cams, all forms of boost, and everything else engine wise.

    • @DL101ca
      @DL101ca 3 года назад

      Not sure what your question is here...yes there could be damage, or not, depending on engine rpm and load at time of failure. Minimum, bent valves, worst case your pistons are trashed as well. Need to tear it down and examine to assess damage, can't just guess over the net.

    • @ReignitedAuto
      @ReignitedAuto  3 года назад

      Not uncommon for the dealer to recommend full replacement of the cylinder heads, allows them to avoid any responsibility for rebuilding the heads themselves. It's quite likely that a few valves are bent, and yes, it's possible the pistons have been damaged as well.

    I was looking through your videos and I didn't see a vid in ref to this.
    My question is this. On the owners manual says if oil temp gets to 230 pull over and let cool down.
    My satelite office is locate 3 hours from my main office. When I go to the sat office I go through mountains hitting 4k to 5k altitude and I saw the old temp get up to 230 232 pushed through letting it cool off with the air. This was during the cooler months per say but during the summer the temp will get up to ambient 120+. I have seen the blk top get up to 140.
    I was wondering if the 180 thermostat worth doing. 🤔

      I always struggle with this question, because my usual attitude is that if it's not broke don't fix it. But, my feelings have kind of changed over the last couple years. I think it's smarter now to just change the heads and not worry about it anymore. If it's a task you feel like you can accomplish yourself, it's not that big of a deal and you can get it done for relatively cheap.
