![]() I bought this truck new in 2015 outdoorsman 3.6 pentstar and immediately the transmission modulator was bad and there was welding spatter on both front doors and the fixed it and a year later the wiring harness for the coolant fan was replaced.I will say the 3rd back cab brake light was leaking and one corner of my headliner got a tiny water stain but I fixed it myself with clear caulk.I have now done the transmission service 3,000 miles ago even though they say lifetime it’s not true but you can’t do it under warranty because it voids it.I have only used 5w20 super tech full synthetic in my truck and it currently has 80,000 miles on it and knock on wood it’s still smooth. I’m hoping this will let me last until over 200,000 mi. I’m a bit concerned with transmission after reading a little, but it appears most newer trucks have similar issues. All I normally do is slam close the bed and it will resolve itself, no big deal. The backup camera sometimes gets messed up due to lose wire after using the bed. Outside regular maintenance oil change, tires, brake pads the major work: head gasket, resurfaced cylinder head, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, spark plugs, oil change, Mopar coolant, also replaced exhaust manifold bolts which solved the hemi ticking. ![]() First time for everything, I’m wondering if in the future there will be a recall on this engine, as there were cooling ones for other ones. Now having 63,000 on it and came out the head gasket cracked where the bolt is which shocked my mechanic and local shop that resurfaced the cylinder head since they its unheard of a Hemi engine with a blown head gasket. End of March of 2022 heard a noise and a jerk and the truck started to overheat on the way home from work. I mostly use this truck highway miles 60 mi round trip daily to and from work. I purchased 20 Bighorn 5.7 Hemi in February 2020 with 12,000 miles.
