5.7 Hemi's Throwing rods?!

I am on numerous web sites for Mopars, including the LX and truck sites.

Very rarely have I heard of any issues with the 3G Hemis. When I do it is usually a result of operator stupidity, lack of maintenance, or incorrect application of high performance parts.

Hell, I know guys throwing gobs of nitrous at their stock 5.7L and it is holding up just fine.

As for the 4.7L? Laugh all you want. Since I am more of a Dakota person I know LOTS of people sporting the little SOHC motor with no problems. I put 120K on my first one before trading in the truck, and I have 75K so far on my current ride with zero problems.
