Dealership recommends a cam and lifter replacement for 10k or engine replacement for 14k on my 2015 ram v8 with 63000 miles on it. Might just pay the diagnostic and take to...

    TSP Lifters? I had a TSP kit installed in my Ram stage 1, and it’s noisy up top. Any thoughts?

    All exhaust pushrods fall in? Can't see the lifters?

    Okay so I'm either overthinking this or I have a big problem. Heads were sent out, resurfaced, new springs, etc... I put new lifters in. The intake push rods seem to push in ok but the exhaust valves fall all the way in if I let them. I used a camera to look down the hole and don't even see the...

    2012 Ram (1500 5.7 with MDS, 107k miles) Crank, Cam, and other questions

    Hello, hopefully this post has enough info to answer a few questions I have. Background; the vehicle is new to me and had a severe 'tick' when purchased (single tick at engine speed, same tune at all temps and all rpm ranges). Figured I might get away with just a simple exhaust manifold bolt...

    Which Cam and Lifters Did You put in Your 5.7?

    I need to do a top-end rebuild soon and I would like to get your feedback on what cam/lifters you chose to rebuild the top-end of your 5.7L? Please list; 1. What you used? (i.e. Comp Cam *** with OEM Delphi lifters) 2. Did you keep MDS? why or why not? 3. Where you bought it? 4. Why you chose it?

    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    I'm well-aware that the 5.7L HEMI has a fairly common issue surrounding the exhaust manifold bolts, causing the "HEMI tick". About 10 days ago, I noticed my truck had a tapping noise when cold-started. I assumed that this was the infamous HEMI tick and honestly didn't give it much thought. It...

    Dang lifters!

    so I bit the bullet and got a shop to put my lifters in because I have never done it before and was nervous. Yes yes lifters are on back order (OE) so they used aftermarket. Well the ticking only went away for for about a day and it’s back now. The mech went in and took it all apart again and...

    Simple Engine Swap question

    My 2011 (Ram 1500 4wd) has 150k on the clock and the lifter/cam issue finally caught up with us. Rather than invest $3k for cam repair on a high-mileages engine, or $4500 for a remanufactured motor, why not just drop in a low-mileage engine from a 2014 or 2015? What’s the year range where...
