My ram (ongoing project)

Lets hope it's just a failed lifter.

sport & chrome bumper trucks both fit on the same truck

Lifter failed internally. Looks like I’ll be ordering the mmx NSR NTR cam and all new non mds lifter with solenoid plugs. I could replace the single lifter but would rather do this right

Lucky!. Good job catching it before it becomes an serious issue.

I have the cam installed. I was not aware that this cam has a very mild chop. Truck is running great. Oil is 42 psi idle warm after the mds delete plugs so I lost 1 psi oil pressure at idle. Truck sounds quieter in the lifter department. Mmx claims better low end torque and more power higher in the rpm above the stock cam. I’m not feeling any seat of the pants difference off the line but that very mild chop does sound nice. They claim 30 hp over stock at the top end. Won’t know fuel mileage for a bit but hopefully same as with the stock cam. My wideband fluctuates a bit and seems to correspond with the chop

bump the idle up a bit brother

Rick said the same thing. I had hemifever set it to 650 when he did the mds off tune. however long ago that was. I’m going to be honest I’m not even sure if my i3 tuner is going to work. I didn’t want to bump up the idle much because even at 650 if I put the truck in 4 low I almost have the brake pedal to the floor to keep the truck from inching forward. What is bumping the idle up going to do though? Just settle out the chop?

Yeah pretty much. If it's slight I wouldn't mess with it. If it's rowdy, I still wouldn't mess with it .
