When did the Dodge 5.7 Hemi engine change?
If the 345 HEMI were a below average engine it’s unlikely Chrysler and Dodge would keep it around for so long in their flagship cars. In 2009, the 5.7L engine was revised to improve emissions, fuel economy, and performance. The revised engine is known as the 5.7 Eagle. A few notable updates to the 5.7 HEMI include:

An important thing to understand when finding the location of cylinder 3 is that it’s going to be the 3’rd cylinder in the firing order of the vehicle, and not the 3’rd cylinder that you might see when looking at the engine. The P0303 trouble code will trigger the Ram’s service engine soon light.
Is the 5.7 Hemi engine good for gas mileage?
When cruising the 5.7 Eagle HEMI engine (2009+ update) utilizes multi-displacement technology to shut down 4 of the cylinders. It’s a great way to improve emissions and fuel economy. On the surface there’s nothing wrong with MDS. The power from the large 5.7 liter displacement is still there when you need or want it.
What kind of cylinder deactivation system does Dodge Ram use?
As noted in another thread, I’m considering trading my Silverado for a 2015 Black Express Ram. After doing a little bit more reading this morning, I was disappointed to learn that Ram uses a cylinder deactivation system (I believe it’s called MDS), similar to Chevy’s Active Fuel Management (AFM).
