It appears that I'm going to be putting another 5.7 Hemi into our 2004 Durango and it's a Non MDS vehicle.

A buddy has a low mileage 2008 5.7 Hemi that I'm pretty sure is an MDS engine (won't know for sure till I se it in person).

I just want to verify what I've found stated online, that you can run a MDS engine in a Non MDS vehicle if you leave the solenoids in place and don't put the MDS delete plugs in the engine.

I'd prefer not to pull the heads to change the lifters to non MDS versions if I don't have to.

I know that I'll have to change the timing cover, oil pan, etc.

Thanks in advance.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
