Ya never got around to starting a thread hahaha. But it had 62000 miles on it and the dealer wouldn't replace it so I had to drop 5k on a new motor and now 7 months later I regret putting another 3.8 in it because its already using oil... my new ones under warranty still though ha. I want to pull the motor and put a srt8 in it.
