It won't cause any "problems", except that the extra dirt will cause the engine to wear out a little quicker.

I find that very hard to believe. I would believe that the engine is breaking in.

Yeah. I don't think they call it mds anymore. It said cylinder deactivation but it shows up on the display as ECO when it's in 4cylinder mode.

I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum with the 5.7 Hemi that I bought new and I still love it! That Hemi engine puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. It has so much torque and hp.

Oh I'm loving it so far lol. Only 450 miles in right now but I'm loving it. Sucks that elevation takes a big chunk off the 395hp tho.

Thanks MGD. These heads are already bright as hell....I'd probably just go with Silverstars or ZXEs for the white look. They are already white but still have a SLIGHT yellow tint to them. My low beams are brighter and shine farther than my f150s highs.

Would have but I like a sporty look and the 09 to 14 f150 looks more classy. Basically in a truck if it looks good lowered or lifted then I like it. The 04 to 08 f150 looked good both ways but 09 to 14 only looks good lifted to me. I would have rather had am ecoboost as a replacement engine for my 08 than by a new one. The 15s look nice so far tho. Also engine price. Dodge has 2 truck engines, ford has 4 for 14 and 5 for 15. The price difference is a lot greater for ecoboost over the base than the hemi over the base.

Thanks. Probably wouldn't have gotten a dodge if I didn't see the blackout edition.

Well 4k miles in and just got it back from the dealership after 4 hours in there. Trans was locking when I went to put it in park. It would lock up between reverse and park and only way to get it in park was to get out and push it until it slammed in park. Happened 5 times within 2 weeks and luckily one of those times was at the dealership so I pulled them over to see what it was doing. Ended up being shifter cable out of whack. Only other things were that I have wheel locks and never got a key and my drivers side fog light was missing 2 of the 3 pieces for alignment. There is a bolt with a spring and a clip at the end. All I had was the bolt and it was wedged behind so the foglight was pointed up and blinding people. Finally all fixed under warranty.
