Watch This Before Buying a Dodge Charger 2006-2010

The Dodge Charger may very well be underneath the definition of muscle car in the dictionary. The 2006-2010 years in particular do have several issues that are quite note worthy if you are thinking about grabbing one of these beasts for yourself.
Hopefully this video helped yall out!

1:10 My 5.7 in my 06 charger dropped a valve gide seat in cylinder 6 on restart at 7/11 catastrophic failure, just like in the video here. I have not posted what happened to mine . After taking off the head, we noticed the factory gasket was on backward, blocking half of the water ports on that side of the engine. That's why it gets overheated.

[@dariannnnnn]

don't know why but i've always liked this generation of the charger over the newer one

[@shawandacarter1004]

Same. I had a newer one and that one was totaled out I went back to this yr n model. I love the body overall

Probably the price lol

[@brianh2574]

I still have my 2006 Charger R/T and it runs great with minor maintenance. I did upgrade my shifter latch and have my transmission flashed. There is an issue with a faulty fuel filler neck on some of these vehicles, but those models have a lifetime warranty on the fuel tank. You'd have to look it up. Mine started getting vapor locked when I'd fill up with fuel so I had mine replaced.

The valve seat issue is only been a problem in 5% of the 5.7L HEMI'S

Are you sure

If so then i was that 5%… twice

[@henrywashington3732]

​@@03creations34 Hey I'm interested in buying one of these chargers from these years for there looks. Did you drive that hemi hard for them valve seats to fall out? That is the only thing holding me back from getting one.

[@mlife2]

I have a 2006 Charger RT with 140,000 miles. I’ve had a few minor issues but recently I had to replace the transmission and my engine gave out. I had it diagnosed and I was told it may be the cam shaft or a bad valve. To continue with the fix they wanted $5,500. So, it’s getting junked, sucks because I really enjoyed it and I took very good care of it.

Do you still have the car? I work on HEMI all day it’s such an easy fix

[@JohnTaylor-bd1uy]

At what mileage?

[@ericveldhuizen667]

At 427 in the video. On my 2010, I had that stuck shift. One of the 2 sliver relays in the engine compartment fuse bay was the problem. The key won't turn and won't shift. I have column shift. X cop car. At first off and on in a parking lot, then had to be towed home. Relays. Fn relays.

I have a 2006 R/T Hemi and have not had any of those issues. I have heard that the cam problems didn't start until 2012's and up on the Hemi.

[@JohnTaylor-bd1uy]

Correct! The valve seat isn't an issue as lo g as you don't over heat the car! A good way to prevent this is swapi g out your oil pump for a hell cat one.

Just got a 2010 Dodge Charger Rallye with the 3.5L high-output engine. I love this car, you seem very knowledgeable about the 5.7L but didnt really cover the V6 edition much here.

I own the dodge 2009 3.5 RT. Usually I drive 120/140 kms and it’s above 350K kms and never ever faced any issue. Ignore this and just change the oil and filter on time.

[@umerthemagnificent8672]

How? What did you to change to make it more drivable? Are you first owner of this car and can you tell at what mileage that part of car has to be replace step by step please. Becuse I am buying a r/t from 2006 to 2010 don’t know which year

[@zacharygalliher609]

@@umerthemagnificent8672 I'm the third owner. The first owner put 165k miles on it in just 8 years. Second owner put around 26k miles on it then it sat for 4 years. The oil was so thick it wouldn't drain. Also found needle bearing in my transmission pan but somehow it shifts perfectly. Every once in a while it will hesitate a little or shift rough . The entire front suspension was redone 6 years ago. Since I've had it I replaced the both fuel pumps. (These things have 2 fuel pumps) Replaced thermostat, coolant temp sensor, and coolant cap. (It did start overheating) but in my case it was a cheap fix. That's why I replaced those 3 part at the same time. Replaced the serpentine belt. Brake pads, parking brake shoes. Still have an ongoing power steering fluid leak. Already replaced one of the seals. Still leaks but not bad.

[@zacharygalliher609]

@Wilfredo Gomez holy shit thats badass. What are all the major things thats been done to it?

[@zacharygalliher609]

@Wilfredo Gomez if you had the 5.7 stroked to a 392. Camed, tuned, with cai, exhaust. You'd make 450-500 whp. the only way you're making 680hp is if has some sort of boost from a turbo, supercharger, procharger or nitrous. Also the stock trans can only handle 500hp. And that tin can thing is a catch can which doesn't add any power. So either the seller lied and you Don't know enough to realize that or you're full of shit.

Before making a video like this you should really do your research the 09 and up hemi engine's don't have the valve seat problem because they switches to the eagle heads and alot of the other problems your listing are common in every vehicle 😂 and for the love of God learn the names of parts before trying to make automotive content wtf is a piston head its a cylinder head 🤦🤦‍♀️

F u k I want one of these so bad but ik they have many problems

Agreed, they are pretty sweet, but you’ll definitely have to be mechanically inclined to keep the car running for a long time

Just find a 09 or 2010 RT or any SRT8 you’ll be good..

My 2006 dodge charger RT R&T currently has 192,596 miles. Never had any issues other than it recently over heating and spewing out all my coolant but even then it didn't drop a valve seat. I just replaced my coolant temp sensor and coolant cap which fixed the overheating issue.

oh you have got to be f0cking kidding me! this car has looks but not mechanics really want this car for sake
