My 5.7 Hemi Ram has 300,000 miles on the original motor and no tick. My Hemi Charger has 250,000 on it, no tick. Good oil and filter at 5000 miles, limit idling, and enjoy the power.
Most ticks are broken exhaust manifold bolts. A very small percentage are lifter/cam failure, mostly from excessive idling. Because the repair cost is so high, a lot of noise is made of it.
Ram owners know to go to the Ram Forum to get vehicle specific advice,
You’re asking engine specific question on a political discussion site when there are make and model specific forums on the internet? Sounds like something a Chevy owner would do. SMDH…
Greg Abbot needs to send 20,000 illegals to Juneau, Anchorage, Homer, Nome, and any other city in Alaska. See how long those troops listen to Biden when their homes and families are being terrorized.
I first worked on CDC CYBER mainframes (64, 170, 730, 7400) and the CYBER 203 and 205 Super Computers (designed by Seymour Cray while he worked for Control Data Corporation) before he started Cray Computing. I wrote Fortran and Assembly language for about 10 years. My division was bought out by Siemens Power System Controls in around 1990. I then transitioned to Oracle, SQL and PL/SQL. The 205 I worked on took up a 60,000 sq ft building. It was a 128 bit vector processing unit.
