Any normal hemi tick is far worse than any GM piston slap that goes away after 5 min. worst case.Dodge boys always say " ya every make has problems" yes but not near as many as Dodges do.especialy engines!

Backstepping??????? Not being rude, but how do you figure this?

5.7 hemi 345 HP

6.1 HEMI 425 HP

6.4 HEMI 500+ HP

SRT dept growing fast

New performance mods are now working, finally after 3 years of trying to hack the computer, its now working!

IMO, it looks like they are stepping up!

That is bs that DC wouldn't step up to the plate when it is a design defect. Wait until someone dies, then they'll be in hot water. Ford learned that one the hard way, at least they bothered to recall their trucks with problems. At the very least the car maker, be it DC, GM or Ford, should take action to prevent an impending lawsuit, never mind its the right thing to do

The hemi tick is almost in every truck out there, Hemi engines will grow and grow but it will never be a VORTEC or an ls based engine whats the most famous engines out there they are the ls engines. Those engines could have a little of advantage on the chevy engines but with the drivetrain you guys have those numbers shur as hell dont get to the ground.

i hit a curb at probably 15 mph and busted my axle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! check it out in the chevy drivetrain section. So it's not just dodge.....

i sympathize now.

and as for tick, my 5.3 ticks really bad, and doesn't go away.... so i wouldn't go saying the ls tick dissapates, it doesn't. my brother ls2 in his 2002 camaro rattles up a storm.

i think somethings up with the metal around here lately..........

Somewhere along the line you missed that the Dodges were not slamming into curbs and the axles were snapping off.Axles snapping on new low mile trucks that were not loaded with weight and going straight down the road and breaking for no reason. Sure any axle will break when you slam into a curb.
