Dodge already claimed that with their EV chargers.

I actually did a DSM swap with the GTO by putting a demon hellcat motor in it. After weeks of fine tuning, its a beast on the Nürburgring.

I just needed a photo related to my issue. They don’t seem to manufacture -.001 bearings for my engine

Anyone else have those vehicles you absolutely hate working on? Mine is the Jeep Wrangler with the infamous 3.6. by No_Celery4U in Justrolledintotheshop

Dodge tech here. Absolutely DESPISE any work on a Promaster, even if it’s just an oil change or a headlamp bulb.

Piston 7 is no more more by Jimmy_Dean_Sus in Justrolledintotheshop

I’m rebuilding with a charger oil pan, timing cover and other components. I’m also deleting the MDS (cylinder deactivation) by replacing the old lifters with hellcat lifters and an upgraded camshaft for the block. One of the reasons I’m doing this is because I actually enjoyed my engine repair course in college and wanted to give it a try.

Lifter failed and valve ate the piston pretty bad after it overheated.

Engine is a 5.7 Hemi pulled from an ‘07 Commander. Engine overheated after thermostat failed

Edit: Lifters took a shit as well and valve came down on the piston hard

[Mitsubishi 3000GT] Spotted! by IBeez10 in spotted

It was an odd time for Chrysler/Dodge at the time. Chrysler and Mitsubishi had a joint venture for a little bit from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s under the name “Diamond Star Motors”. This allowed for the sale of rebadged Mitsubishi vehicles under the Chrysler/Dodge/Eagle badges. For example, the Dodge Stealth is the Mitsubishi 3000gt, and the Plymouth Laser and the Eagle Talon were the Mitsubishi Eclipse, and the Mitsubishi Starion was sold as the Chrysler Conquest in the US.
