I am proudly still running one of those rams with the 5.7. it's been trouble free less the manifold bolts and cv boots. 220k and I am intently following this thread as I am probably looking to upgrade soon. Too bad the 5.7s are a thing of the past. It seems to get that reliability in a ram a guy will be stuck with the Pentastar V6 which might be good enough for most.

My brother has a 5.7 Ram, 2014 I think. Powertrain wise I think his has been good. My business is on the refinish side of the auto industry. Rams just scare me with the rust, coatings issues among a few other things. A friend of mine bought a 24' with the Penistar after riding around in my brothers. So I'll have a couple samples to go off of here over the next year.
