I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THAT'S WHEN I HARD A LOUD METALLIC ENGINE NOISE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO PUENTE HILLS CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD NO COMPRESSION IN A FEW CYLINDERS, DUE TO THEIR BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLE'S WITH THE 5.7L ENGINES.
