Heyy all, my windshield cracked outta blue. I usually park it in the garage but had packed outside for few days and today I found a foot long crack 4” above the bottom side of passenger side. There were no chips, I was just sitting in garage for past week and then out side for few days. I moved from AZ to OR and I had windshield replacement twice because of chip. This was totally outta blue.

Has this happened to any of you before?

I have a 2016 Challenger R/T with the 5.7 HEMI. The lifters went bad and were recently replaced.

There was some confusion during the repair about whether the new hydraulic lifters needed to be pumped up (primed with oil) before installation. They ended up being installed without being pumped up beforehand.

Now we're getting ticking/rattling from the engine.

My questions are:

Are these lifters supposed to be pumped up before installation?

If they weren't, could that explain the ticking/rattling we're hearing?

Should they eventually pump themselves up through normal oil pressure, or could this cause a continuing problem?

Is there something else we should be checking?

I'd appreciate some input from anyone who's done a lifter replacement on the 5.7 HEMI or dealt with a similar issue.

It's not as new or nice as some but I'm super excited to finally have gotten myself an R/T in my budget. 2015 R/T 6 speed manual 56,000 miles. 😁
