My wife's '06 doesn't tick
I run M1 AFE 0w-20 in it.
My 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI runs just fine on QSUD 0w-20. Engine is quiet as can be. No HEMI tick so far with just under 15k.

your wife must have a rare hemi lol. They all have lifter noise from what i hear, but again ive only listened really to like 2013 and up. anything with mds has the tick typically. some guys say 5-30 quiets it down, but others say it screws up the mds system.

0W30 or 5W30 won't harm anything.

my 2013 runs pretty well on 5w20 M1. I'll be doing on UOA on it when I change it this weekend (5k miles, maybe early but wanna UOA and see). I've seen the same reports of issues with MDS if not using 5w20. I have a warranty for another 7 years 70k miles, so I'll be using 5w20.
It runs quiet on it, at 32k miles. One issue I had with MDS was I could feel it kick on and off. Turns out, changing the spark plugs made that completely go away. They're supposed to be changed at 30k miles (I changed mine at 29k). Of course you might not have this issue as I think 2014 and up are 100k mile interval plugs.

I think the plugs did change in 2014, to platinum where the 2013 and before were copper.

It disables in Tow/Haul mode, but also if you get a tuner. So its like $3-400 to disable it. I agree that it is probably pretty pointless, my jeep gets like 15 city / 22 highway.

when i say disable i mean through the junk lifters in the trash. first thing i did with my g8 but it also had an ERL built 434inch stroker in it making 521whp on a stingy dyno on motor lol. so the whole charger thing feels like i stole grandmas luxury car and it happens to have a bit of pep
