    Rocker pedestal problems?

    Has anybody had rocker pedestal problems on the V6 Chargers?

    I post with someone who had a rocker arm pedestal brake, which in turn spun and blocked the lifter oil passages.

    Is this common?

    The owner is from Mesa Arizona, Superstitious Springs Chrysler did the work. The repair bill says there were no TSBs found....

    I think it was a 3.5 V6, though it doesn't say. There is a badge on the front fender of the car though...

    I've not heard of any problems of that type in the 3.5's.
    The only thing that comes close is the infamous startup tick that some get.

    Weird...
    I thought the only Dodges with rocker problems like that were the 3.3/3.8 L engines, and some of the older LA-Style Small_Blocks...

    any better info on the topic?
