Well in the case of the 5.7 cams, if they fail out of warranty, yes, you eat it. Do you know how much a brand NEW cam straight from Chrysler costs? Its $80..... I have bought a bunch of them...I am a machinist, and have replaced a bunch of em. There is a reason they are so cheap. But you can put a aftermarket cam in there, and presto, no more cam failure...interesting, no?
