Hey there. I would recommend taking the vehicle to a local dealer to have the vehicle checked for recalls and also technical bulletins for this engine. There are cylinder head replacement and timing chain replacement recalls that may pertain to this vehicle and the dealer would have to check the VIN of your Dodge.
