    Looking for service bulletin

    Thanks for the link @Burla I have very detailed records for the original work. The mechanic misdiagnosed it twice (replaced PCM then heads) finally finding the worn cam lobe and replacing the cam, lifters and heads. The problem is, there is so much metal shavings it is effecting the oil flow...

    Looking for service bulletin

    I spoke with the service manager at my local RAM dealership about a service bulletin regarding cam failures and metal shavings on the Oil Control Valve (VVT)which notes that if there are shavings, the engine must be replaced. He said he could not give me a copy of this to show a mechanic who...

    What would you do?

    2013 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi After experiencing a misfire on cyl 1 a mechanic I took it to replaced the heads, lifters, and a cam after finding a badly worn lobe at cyl 1. Once they finished, it ran far worse than before with at least 6 new codes from VVT, MDS to a new misfire on cyl 5 and terrible...

    Mechanic hosed my truck, not sure what to do

    Thanks Sherman. This is the path I am on right now. I have spoken to an attorney and he recommended I use a 3rd party to inspect and determine if the original mechanic caused all the new issues. At that point speak with the mechanic about making it right. So far my son has found coolant...

    Mechanic hosed my truck, not sure what to do

    Not really tolerant and it has caused me a lot of stress and depression, but I have to contain that, or I will get in trouble. I did speak with an attorney, and he felt this was the best way to go. I do have 100% faith the original mechanic will make things right if we find it was something they...

    Mechanic hosed my truck, not sure what to do

    Thanks for all of the replies, I just realized the notifications were going to junk mail. In the end my son who is ASC certified is tearing it down and the original mechanic said he'd look at it once torn down and fix anything he deems was on them. Going in the right direction.

    Switch to LED tail lights 2013 RAM 1500

    I installed Chinese LED tail lights and rear center light a year or so ago but always get various OBD II codes stating Circuit Short to Battery or Open. B170B B16DF B16D7 B1707 B1687 I believe there is a BCM setting to tell the system it is using LED which should fix the codes but first I...

    Mechanic hosed my truck, not sure what to do

    I have a 2013 RAM 1500 with 5.7 Hemi and started getting a P0301 code. I suspected cam and lifters but a new mechanic (mechanic 1) I used said it was the PCM because it was not sending signal to the injector on Cyl 1. After having it replaced which didn't fix the problem, he admitted to mis...

    Instrument cluster only sort of working

    A few days ago, my instrument cluster LCD failed to come on but came back on after a bit time. It does not seem to be correlated with going over bumps which might suggest a loose wire. I have been paying attention to the problem and it seems to come back on at just about 15 minutes after...

    Steering issue

    I just joined the forum to ask this exact same question and to browse around of course. I have a 2013 that sounds/feels exactly the same. It only happens on mine when running about 10 MPH turning either right or left. Funny OP about how it sounds like it's running low on fluid, my post would...
