Dodge Ram Hemi knock not a tick. lakeshore Dodge in slidell Louisiana knows there is a problem tried to fix once and knock still there. Chrysler star told them to replace heads that there is a problem with them and the service manager refused to fix and said i will have to live with it. why if Chrysler told them to replace and the techs and service writer have all heard the knocking coming from the motor. this sounds like crap coming from the motor. it does affect the performance of the motor everything from fuel mileage to starting up warm up low idle to low engine power because valves are not seating in the heads properly!!!! also faulty lifters. more and more cases are now popping up on the internet about this problem and it is not only the ram with the Hemi i have read complaints with the 300c, magnums, jeep commander all with Hemis dodge solution #s k59926684,k21050787. long time customer of Dodge not no more!! let them go under crooks. especially lakeshore Dodge wont buy anything dodge including my company vehicles will lease from Chevy instead.Dodge offers lifetime warranty because they wont fix what the hell is the point of that? should not have to drive around a vehicle that sounds like that especially with such low mileage. funny the found after bumper to bumper runs out and now i have a deductible every time. all service always performed at dealer so they cant say i did something to motor. ford is looking better and Chevy Dodge to many problems with repairs guess that why they say get what you pay for dodge has proved that phrase just to let everyone know seems more cases of this in Texas and if i hear the f------ dealer say thats a Hemi for you, hell anyone have the rams that have the electrical problems touch the power windows,locks, play the radio loud and lights dim or dance with the music, was also told that's a Dodge Ram for you! many complaints but no fix, but like the dealer says you got a good warranty,what f------ good is that if they wont fix the sh*t! give the tax payers the bailout and let the crooks fall they have been f-----n us long enough!!!!!!! and i worked for ford for 8 years they wont help us with sh*t they sell so why give them my hard earned money to bail them, bail them for what still don't put money in our pockets to go buy cars from them so they are still in the same boat! nice to know service can laugh at the problems and know they exist but cant fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(reported on)Ram 1500 SLT 5.7 HEMI
- Automatic transmission
- 12,000 miles
Truck has a knock in engine when at idle and engine warm. D/C advised normal but have had other mechanics look at it and advise major problem with pistons plus fuel injector rails/valves. D/C refused to fix and claims while louder than most ram trucks, still normal. Sounds like a diesel vs. a gas HEMI
