Consumer Description

HELLO, I AM CURRENTLY HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 5.7 HEMI IN MY CHRYSLER 300. I AM FACING ISSUES WITH THE NOTORIOUS 'HEMI TICK' AND IT HAS GOTTEN OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD AND ANNOYING ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKED AGAINST A BUILDING OR ON START UP. THE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS ON THE 5.7 ENGINES ARE KNOWN TO FAIL WHETHER ITS IN DODGE CHRYSLER OR RAM VEHICLES THE VEHICLES RUNS PERFECTLY FINE, IDLES PERFECTLY FINE. I HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE LIFTERS THAT I'M SOON GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE WHICH IN RESULT MAY HAVE EVEN DAMAGED MY CAMSHAFT. MY VEHICLE HAS 83K MILES ON IT AND FEELS LIKE IT COULD GO A LOT LONGER IF MYSELF AND OTHER V8 OWNERS UNDER CHRYSLER DIDN'T HAVE THE HYDRAULIC LIFTER/ CAMSHAFT FAILURES COSTING $1000S OF DOLLARS IN PARTS AND LABOR
