He has added an aftermarket junk air filter (as seen by the decals on the airbox and back window), and hacked up his truck by adding water injection, messing with the crankcase vent stuff under the hood. The "quality issues" are from his DEALER repainting his truck, and they are likely also responsible for his bent pinch welds.
Maybe folks should watch 30 seconds of this video from the 14:10 min mark (where I linked it). LINK "I have 60,000 miles on her now, I haven't any problems with my truck, um, besides my paint - that wasn't Dodge or me, that was the dealer who finished my truck." a few seconds later: "and I let this idle a lot ok?, just so people know, I let my truck idle QUITE-A-BIT...."
Far more info available if you watch all of the other videos he has put out on YouTube.
It sure makes you wonder how many of these problems he would have had if he left well enough alone.
