I have an 05 Ram with 5.7 and the oil pan is cast so you can use a little more torque on it then a stamped pan. After 93,000 miles and many oil changes no problems there. If you have plug out make sure washer isn't torn up. I have original plug and washer still sealing up well.

I had a core 06 car 5.7 that the plug was stripped and wouldn't come out, I had to air hammer a hole in the pan to get the oil out. Didn't need the pan since the cure was for a b body mock up
