Thank you Steve, unfortunately it is a bit of both, I spent 45 minutes on the phone today with one of the higher ups at SRT and may have some movement to get something worked out, I'm supposed to have a response from SRT within the next 48 hours. I will update this post as soon as I hear back.

It should work out, after all the car is still under warranty, its a shame you have to go through such grief, best of luck with it.

Hope it works out for you. Numerous owners have posted denied engine claims on the other forums. Did you check the oil level or did the dealer say it was low on oil. Most common reason for denied claims. Good luck to you

Dodge will give any excuse they can think of, but the real truth of the problem is from day one, the engines were not properly prepped before assembly, the oil galleries had crud in them, which in time wipes out the rod bearings, it is to bad an American car company will try to snake out of there screw ups.

Expectation works out for you. Various proprietors have posted denied motor cases on different gatherings. Did you check the oil level or did the seller state it was low on oil? The most widely recognized explanation behind denied claims.
