I'm 81 years old and just sadly had to surrender my 2007 R/T with the 5.7 litre engine . I can't see well enough to drive any more I bought it new, drove it every day and maintained it religiously .It was exciting to drive and never caused me one minute of problems .

That’s a beater, you can tell the owner doesn’t take care of it.

Dodge is a pretty damn good car! Ran over my wife with a Dodge!

[veenoable]

Scotty : not worth it to repair it

Maniacs: 770hp crate engine swap

This man blames everyone but the owner for the maintenance of the vehicle

ive been a mechanic for 30+ years im also a dodge fan worked on everything. ive found the dodge hemi is a solid engine. i myself have a 2007 Charger with the same engine that you show in your video. it has 270, 000 + miles on it and it runs great. and it gets 24 miles to the gallon. also very comfy riding car.

There is a known problem with Hemis from around then where if the owner runs anything heavier than the recommended 5w-20 oil it will starve the lifters for oil if idled excessively and they will wear down the cam lobes. Pretty textbook case you've got there. They've fixed that issue in the last few years, but you should still run 5w-20 oil like is recommended. The problem is that people think they know more than engineers and run what they THINK it needs. People tend to mistakenly think that thicker oil protects better, which it doesn't. Hemis run forever if you take care of them. I've seen tons of them well over 300k...

Try featuring one that has been taken care of properly like my 2014 Charger R/T Max with 227, 000 miles. Yes I just changed the struts and shocks and am replacing the mds solenoids but it still runs and shifts perfect and gets 26 mpg. Regular maintenance does wonders especially when you're the original owner.

[johnlewan]

I was having lots of problems like this on my 5.7 Hemi engine. It had bad intermittent misfires especially at idle and terrible gas mileage. I thought it was bad engine wear. I took off the plastic intake and the gaskets at the manifold ports were shrunken down completely. Replaced them all and it runs like new again with great mileage. Always make sure your intake is completely sealed!

So whos gonna tell him that Supra doesnt have a Toyota engine in it

The NAG1 5-speed is a Mercedes-Benz transmission, NOT A CHRYSLER transmission.

[ranman]

I own a 2006 Dodge Charger Srt8 with 112, 000 miles. I have had no such problems. Runs great. The only problem I've had is with the stereo that recently blacked out. So sorry Scotty. That ain't always the case.

[laca]

The previous owner did not take good care of the engine!! That’s for sure!!

[nathancole]

Watched this: Hmmm he sure makes dodge sounds bad
Me: I think I’ll get a hellcat Redeye for my next vehicle.
