Consumer Description
AT 104,000 MILES, ENGINE CODE FOR CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE. 16 NEW PLUGS AND #3 COIL PACK DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FURTHER TESTING REVEALED REVEALED A BAD LIFTER. ENGINE OVERHAUL PRODUCED A SEIZED ROLLER ON THE LIFTER THAT EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY WORE A LOBE OF THE CAMSHAFT. WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF LIFTERS, CAMSHAFT, VALVE SPRINGS, THE MECHANIC SHOP ALSO REPLACED 5 BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS (ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 5.7L HEMI ENGINE). $4000 LATER I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ENGINE OVERHAUL ON AN ENGINE WITH JUST 104,000 MILES THAT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. 5W20 MOBILE 1 SYNTHETIC OIL USED AT ALL OIL CHANGES AT FACTORY RECOMMENDED INTERVAL, SINCE TRUCK WAS NEW.
