Yeah, I think they switch suppliers for the cam and lifters.Every MDS Hemi.
Didn't they switch cam manufactures or something around then? Metallurgy issue

I saw a “Range” disabler for both AFM and DFM. Yep, not sure what the number of failures are with DFM with millions of engines made and GM’s reluctance to let go of the idea.Not on the Hass train …
During the time I had AFM only - Clinebarger stated the hardware was the same on 5W30 mills - so at the end of the warranty - went to 5W30 and installed the plug-in disabler …
With my DFM mill - took a dealer warranty with them doing the oil - but likely to bump it up at some point …
The DFM remains active …
Will need to try again bcs even with that - once I typed in my vehicle - no luck. Will likely wait out the warranty anyway …I saw a “Range” disabler for both AFM and DFM. Yep, not sure what the number of failures are with DFM with millions of engines made and GM’s reluctance to let go of the idea.

Ford botched the engineering on it somehow.I have quoted and left the parts the I feel make this engine “a bad engine”. I know this is down to personal opinion and for me putting a coolant pump inside an engine, especially inside the timing casing, is exactly what makes it a “bad engine”. A coolant pump will not last indefinitely and to have to perform the level of work that it requires to replace the pump on this engine, regardless of if you catch it early and have it fixed before further damage occurs, is a repair bill that most people will be unhappy at having to swallow.
Lots of older cars ran the pump from the timing chain like the nissan vq or the belt like toyota MZ or Honda D, B etc etc, all are loved and have proven their worth.My list includes Fords with internal water pumps. Those being 3.5, 3.5 Ecoboost and the 3.7. Second is Fords 2.7 which has a oil submerged rubber cogged belt which drives the oil pump.
The 2020 Kia 2.0 MPI have-had more engine failures than possibly the 2018 and 2019 2.0 GDIs combined.I'd add Kia 2.0 engines to the list, but only the years that they used the GDI variant. Believe it was 2014 to 2019. The non GDI years seem rock solid .
