2006 300c 5.7 hemi
So Im 17 and just bought my first car for $3200, 2006 300c 5.7 Hemi about couple days ago and I bought it off the original owner who bought it new off the lot in 2007, he maintain it nice and said that there was nothing wrong with it and that it was drove fine. I’ve put about 300 miles on it in about 2 days and I’ve loved it, I’ve given it just a little bit of gas but nothing over 3400 rpms, it drives smooth a little squeaky in the front right but other than that it’s smooth. The check engine light turned on but I looked at the code and it was the 0404 which is the EGR and the part is cheap so that should be an easy fix. It just hit 218k miles today. My question is how does this engine sound to you guys and do you think it will be reliable. I don’t hear a tick I don’t think. Does this engine have a lot more life and how many rpms is too much load on it to where I can hurt it but a good range so I can still have some fun. I’ve also heard that letting these engines idle can be bad for it so would sitting in my car for my 20 minutes break damage or hurt it. What are some tips to help make this engine last and stay reliable.
