CAR HAS APPROX. 42525 LIMES. COMING FROM TRIP, HEARD LOUD ENGINE NOISE. WENT TO DEALER, FOUND PIPE FROM CATALYTIC TO MUFFLER BURNT OFF. DISCOVERED A KINK IN EXHAUST PIPE THAT WAS THERE WHEN MANUFACTURED AND IT CAUSED STRESS ON THE BEND FROM THE MUFFLER TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE SYSTEM FROM CATALYTIC BACK. NOT A CHEAP FIX BUT ONLY ONE THAT WAS AVAILABLE. DEALER DID A STAR CASE # 101881957. BUT TO DTE UNABLE TO GET ANY CONFIRMATION FROM CHRYSLER AS HAVING RECEIVED THIS.

DRIVING THE CAR UNDER NORMAL LOAD,S TARTED TO NOTICE A KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. PULLED PLUGS, CHECKED OIL. GAS, PUT A BOROSCOPE DOWN THE SPARK PLUG HOLES LOOKING FOR ENGINE DAMAGE. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE THE CAR SENT TO THE SHOP. WHEN THEY GOT THE MOTOR TORN DOWN THE BAD LIFTER WAS DISCOVERED. UPON SEEING THAT & DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE QUITE A FEW POSTS ON FORUMS ABOUT THE MDS LIFTERS ON THE 5.7 & 6.4 HEMIS GOING BAD & DESTROYING A CAM. I HAVE HAD OIL ANALYSIS DONE ON MOST OIL CHANGES THROUGH OUT OWNER SHIP BUT THIS WASN'T PICKED UP ON FROM THE LAST ONE. NOT SURE IF IT WENT OUT QUICK & DESTROYED THE CAM OR IF IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE. CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 75000 MILES.
