is it worth taking it back now? would you have to be completely stock to do this?

damn straight it is. I could care less if I'm modified. They knew of this issue since when the cars were built, plus i'd love if they could just verify the problem so if need be i could fix it through my own expense. (AMS built block)

For all the people reading this....

This was not a recall...its a rapid response. Meaning, when the rapid response came out, if the vehicle had not been sold, still on the dealer lot, we would have to road test it listening for the engine noise and/or misfire. If it was present we would then have to diagnose the problem and repair as per the bulletin. After the vehicle is delivered to the customer the bulletin does not apply.

I contacted corporate and they didn't find a recall similar to this rapid response message. Someone should either delete this thread or update the first post with 05plsrt4's post so that no one wastes their time reading through the replies to find out that you can't do anything about this issue.

I know mine had a bent valve..it broke at 1200 miles! the stealership (Gunn Dodge-they are now out of business) tried to tell me it was my fault and that i had been Racing my car..i laughed and then raised hell..they then replaced the head

Call me a noob...but all I have to do (even if I didnt buy my car from Dodge, I got it from a used car dealership) is go in and say I heard about this recall and they will drive and test it? And if something is wrong they will fix it for free? (some minor mods to the engine as well)

Ive checked TSB and Recalls on Mitchell and AllData and found no such recall. This should not be a concern to us 05 srt owners. If your car has over 20,000 miles on it then you can be assured there are no bent valves in your head. This was probably released after a few cars with low miles came in with the same issue. Most SRT's now have well over 40,000 miles on them. No way an engine would last that long with no major issues internally. I wouldn't lose sleep over this one

Oh Jesus, PLEASE delete this stickied thread!

I think a lot of people's 05's tick a little, I know mine does. If this recall really exists I want to see service slips stating the repair otherwise please get rid of this. Pics or GTFO. Also has anyone ever had a problem with their 05 because of the slight ticking?
