Well I’m no dummy. Ive been on here since 09 and have seen so many cam and lifter gone bad threads, valve seat dropped topics I could puke. If you guys think there’s nothing wrong with the design of our hemis you can stay hidden behind that rock.
Maddog is right and thank you for your fight on this
Simon you’ve brought a lot of knowledge to the board but I’ll bet in real life your an engineer,or have some type of engineer back ground. Your very smart. Am I right??

Your right it’s not a design flaw. Everyone drives there cars the same. So it can’t be. Based on the amount of known cases that we read on the forums and the true amount of failures which we actually don’t no. Your right it’s not a design flaw.
Your right. Your absolutely right. It’s not a design flaw. It’s gotta be something else, just not a design flaw.



Oh and by the way I just spoke with both of my mechanics and they agree. It’s a design flaw they said the worst thing you can do is idle a lot and low rpm driving

But your right it’s Not a design flaw

I should also add that if it’s not a design flaw it’s the way they designed it. Which may or may not make sense to you.
Being a mechanic my self in a different field I see this every day.
And my statement is
“ if they made something that would last forever( and they could)
How many would they make, and what would happen to there stock price?

So let me ask then, how many have failed ? Does anyone know? Or are you just speculating that it’s a fraction of what they made. What’s the cutoff number ? 20% before you consider it a flaw in design
Personally I think it’s a higher number then you think.

So let me ask you this then? Why does that block , and I say that block because it’s based on the 5.7 and 6.4’s have so many problems with lifters and cams?

Funny I just spoke to one of the techs at my local dodge dealer two days ago and he says he’s seen more failures then you could shake a stick at and shakes his head on why anyone would a dodge. He says Dodge knows about this and won’t do anything about it because it would bankrupt the company on a recall. but yet doesn’t change the design. So figure that out

Do you think Engineers, Managers and bean counters sit around devising ways and means for planned obsolescence? What kind of job that would be for Type A Engineers...to gauge / ensure failure :^(

Yes. I do believe that. Like I said if they made something that lasted forever how many would they make ??and what would happen to there stock price ??

I’ve had lifter failure within 7000 miles on my srt Jeep
And that was on a brand new engine that ate the lifters. This is the third 6.4 in this Jeep and it only has 76000 on it.
