N.C. Highway Patrol had this issue as well . Lots if time at idle was the culprit. ........Same here in So Cal I was told.......Ram gonna go with the inline 6 bangers w/twin turbos and discontinue the 5.7 Hemi as is my understanding. Two variations of these new 6s I've learned if true, will be one with a 400 HP lower output engine while the other will be a 500 hp higher output engine. I'm sorry. Those 6 ers will never sound as good as a Hemi with Magnaflows..... Good amounts of good ol cubic inches have already become a thing of the past that started years ago. F'n EPA cant imagine how bad they will mess that up. How long they been making V 8's and still screwing them up.

I wouldn't own a dodge simply for the fact of them suing Ford for decreasing costs and increasing employee compensation back in 1919. The best thing that dodge has is an engine that's not even theirs, and everything else is harbor freight quality, I mean even Government Motors makes a better product. All companies make bad sheit eventually including Ford, but with dodge/chrysler it's almost as if it's written into their business model as planned obsolescence, much like Apple does with their products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.If you read that and only see one side of the issue you gotta be the biggest Fanboy on earth. Or, stupid. Henry was screwing his investors to screw the Dodge Boys?

I think most of the Hemi lifter issues are with MDS and high idle times. Chevy has much worse issues with their MDS system. Thanks EPA!
I would just disable that crap. Yes to disable. The GM AFM engines don't get a lick better mileage than non AFM engines. $200 bucks gets an AFM disabled. Not as good as a top end rebuild but it's a cheaper alternative.

I wonder if a higher viscosity oil would help the stock oil pump keep the oil pressure up. I would think that it would.

I would think that it would. ..........Nope.....Because even if you use a higher viscosity oil, the oil pump flow with the stock pump is still the same. What the Hellcat oil pump does is move the oil faster.....17% better better oil flow vs the stock 5.7 oil pumps. The Hellcat pumps have thicker impellers which moves the oil faster thru the motor And if ya use a 5/30 oil when the factory calls for 5/20, then you could get a check engine light coming on for the wrong viscosity oil.
