I really don't think that is much of an issue? I would try to find a hellcat model for close to the same price though, it's a buyer's market right now for sure.

Welcome to our place!


I have two 392s, one is a 2017 Power Wagon, and one is a 2019 DSRT (to go along with the 2016 HC).

I have no issues.

Change the oil frequently with PUP and either a Mopar or WIX filter and drive and enjoy.

Is there a chance that you'll get the bad apple, or course, but these engines are doing fine if you ask me.


Now to be fair, I've also got a 2006 Durango with a 5.7L that knocks to high hell, but it also has 180k miles on it and it's obviously a different design motor. Shyt happens.
