Just so you know, the '08 and up 5.7L Hemi is a more powerful version (+10 hp) with Eagle heads and a better intake manifold. The '06 and '07 engines also had a few issues with dropped valve seats on a small number of engines (manufacturing flaw) and the shifter interlock can break locking the car in park. The shifter design was changed in '08. Most of the earlier shifters were replaced under recall but there may still be some out there.

You can check the VIN on Dodge.com (owners tab) to see if there are any open recall services outstanding.

Awesome thanks

I had a 05 300 with the 3.5. I loved that car, for the size of that car it was very snappy. My brothers wife has a 14 Charger with the 3.5 and she loves it.

Yeah the 300 hp v6 was no slouch

Well my '71 255 hp V8 has new plugs. It was pretty easy, main challenge was getting leverage on a couple stuck ones and being short it's harder for me to reach. The old plugs looked ok, just old...car seems a bit happier now.

The 3.5L engine is 250 HP and was a Poly-hemi V6 design dating back to 1999.
The 3.6L engine is 300 HP and it's the new Pentastar V6 engine that replaced the 3.5L in 2011.

Didn't we already do this? LOL!

I wouldn't go over 150k if you plan to put another 50k on it. Service life is 250k miles.
