Description

The RAM HEMI EZD/HD 5.7L V8 Remanufactured Engine 2010–2012 is based on Chrysler’s modern HEMI V8 engine architecture. The 5.7-liter HEMI engine is widely used in RAM trucks and performance vehicles because of its strong power output, durability, and efficient combustion chamber design.

The HEMI engine design features hemispherical combustion chambers, which improve airflow and combustion efficiency. This allows the engine to produce strong horsepower and torque while maintaining reliable operation.

Factory versions of the 5.7-liter HEMI engine typically produce approximately 390 horsepower and around 407 lb-ft of torque, making it suitable for truck applications that require towing power and reliable performance.

Remanufactured engines undergo a comprehensive rebuilding process where worn internal components are inspected, machined, and replaced when necessary. This process restores engine tolerances and helps ensure dependable long-term performance.

Where This Engine Is Used

The RAM HEMI EZD/HD 5.7L V8 Remanufactured Engine 2010–2012 was used in several Chrysler and RAM vehicles during the early 2010s.

Common vehicle applications include:

• RAM 1500
• Dodge Ram 1500
• RAM 2500 (select models)
• Dodge Charger
• Dodge Challenger

The 5.7-liter HEMI engine became one of Chrysler’s most widely used V8 engines due to its balance between power, efficiency, and durability.

Because these trucks and vehicles remain widely used today, replacement engines are often required when engines reach high mileage or experience mechanical failure.

Engine Performance and Reliability

The RAM HEMI EZD/HD 5.7L V8 Remanufactured Engine 2010–2012 is rebuilt through a detailed remanufacturing process designed to restore factory performance.

Typical rebuilding procedures include:

Engine fitment can be verified with the notes and ‘Vehicle Fitment’ tab above, or with the casting numbers under ‘Additional Information’ (if applicable).

Every engine we sell is fully remanufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications:

• Deep Clean – To start the remanufacturing process, every engine is fully disassembled and hot tanked (cast iron) or thermally cleaned (aluminum)
• Inspection – Magnaflux testing uses magnetic particles to inspect metal, checking for microscopic cracks and fissures that will cause long-term failure. All parts are visually inspected as well.
• Machining and New Parts – Deck surfaces are CNC machined and new parts are added. New parts inlcude bearings, pistons, rings, lifters, oil pump, gaskets, Viton™ valve seals, freeze plugs, galley plugs and either a new timing chain (with new tensioners) or a new timing belt (with new tensioner). If an engine has a timing-driven water pump, a new pump is installed.
• SIM Testing – Each engine is SIM tested after reassembly, with the cooling and oil systems being fully pressurized and the crank being spun at high RPM to verify compression and build quality.

Because of our rigorous remanufacturing process, we can offer the industry’s best warranties. Each engine comes with up to 7 years and 1 million miles of warranty, which can be upgraded to include Pure Care™ no-fault protection. No other engine manufacturer comes close.
