I have an '04 Quad Cab Ram 1500 with a 5.7L hemi. It is a nice truck and a great engine. Lots of power and quick for a truck that is that big and heavy. Hauls well, too. I haven't had any problems with it.

The hemi motor is interesting. They are twin plugged, with individual coils for each cylinder. An extra plug wire connects to the coil on the other side of the block, so each of the 16 plugs is fired by its own coil.

Terrible gas mileage, though. I do a lot of stop and go driving, and am averaging around 11 mpg. Mine does not have the mutiple displacement system. That should help the mileage.
