8900 miles still stock and pretty sure HG. Apparently it's rare.... we'll find out tomorrow.

bored.
Breaking out a new engine in the era of “tap tap tap tuning” has to be nerve wracking. I’m just glad there’s a truck out there uglier than the 4th gen dodges LOL
These really do fill a pretty good niche though.

I should've clarified.... this is the Hellcat that replaced the Nissan Cummins.

Should’ve been obvious from the picture, I suppose.

Thought it was just headgaskets? Why a whole new engine?

They found metal in oil. Suspect also there was some hydrolock symptoms.
The main Chysler engineers told him to check the oil contol valve for metal even before compression. Clearly they know something not commonly known yet catch the flaw and this slipped through the crack.
Morgan the tech and one of the main techs for FCA said this was a first for him and all he works on is High end performance platforms... Vipers, Hellcats, exotics, but knows the 5.9 and 6.7 diesels in and out aswell being diesel certified.

No.
Just like people don't care about beanered 2nd gen daullies.:hehe:
Guy I met the other day has an all original matching 68 charger RT.... he said "it is worth $70-80, told me he would give it to me for a roof and $25k"(his roof was 30k). I just had to walk away before I acted impulsively.

Only ran it to 174 according to the top speed log on the page data.
Eventually wanted to run to the full 206, but clearly not outside the right setting.

It'll be about a month til I get it back. I saw the pic today the mechanic took of what he foumd and it's not glitter yet an actual sliver of filing of sorts. Currently their suspecting cam or lifter failure. Everything that touched coolant or oil will be replaced.
