Monday I had what I believe a lifter fail causing a knock on the passenger side of the block. I stopped the truck and immediately had it towed to the dealer. Long story short, the lifter failure seems to be common with the Hemi's and the dealer claims it's unrepairable. Quoted me $11k for a new 5.7... Had the RAM towed back to my house and called a local shop that I've delt with in the past. The mechanic is working on a '14 RAM with the same issue! Owner had the same story as mine. Changed the oil, knocking started weeks later, dealer says new engine.
With that being said I'm looking to add a new cam and Hellcat lifters. I have a custom tune from Jay Greene and am leaning towards installing his Stage .5 HL v2 standard cam kit.
Has anyone had any experience with Jay's cams?
