How does a 5.7L run after 220K miles? Looks like we now know they wear well with time and miles!
Hi SLCraig,
*knocks on wood* The 5.7L has been a really good engine. Mines a 2006 and it has no knocks, misfires, piston slap, or major oil burning. I still have the original transmission and they both still perform really well. I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep the car, but as long as it runs well, I'll hold onto it. I would buy another 5.7L (even the 6.4L).
I've owned some of Chrysler's' 4 cylinder engines... I can't say I'm a fan of them. Oil leaks, burning, piston slap.... etc etc.
Was just curious, as the 5.7L is not exactly an old engine, seeing some with higher miles is still a tad uncommon on average.
Thanks for the mini review..
