    Help! Keys locked inside?

    Next time just call Uconnect. My contract had expired with them, but I was in BFE hunting and had locked my keys in the truck. Luckily I had my cell and called them, they sent an unlock signal for free.

    Does anyone even have the seats in the back down anymore?

    I did the same with the headrests, my kiddo is still in a car seat...so he doesn’t need them. And they take up so much of that back window.

    Needing some help

    I bought a recon smoked 3rd brake light replacement that’s supposed to use your factory screws...except mine didn’t have any, it was just kinda “stuck” up there. I found two screws and clip nuts that were the right size, painted them black and bam...fixed. These were just extra parts I had...

    was about to click buy - Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

    I‘ve had two sets of Goodyear Duratracs, great tires IMO, except they last nowhere near the mileage rating. The worst part of that is no dealer, will warranty them for anything except road hazard. And I’ve read the previous replies and have not had the same off road experience. I wheel my truck...

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Well for $$ sake, this is about the best that could happen. I called a local shop here in the DFW area (shout out to Bevil Automotive in North Richland hills). The owner Craig Bevil, was pretty confident the issue wasn’t lifter/cam failure, but most likely an injector. I swapped the injector...

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    He had a guy about 30 miles from me, but I want a shop (company) that I could come back to if something doesn’t work.

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Yeah I spoke with Jay, he doesn't do the installation anymore...just orders parts and does tuning via phone/email. If my truck needs a cam, I will most likely go thru Jay for parts and custom tuning.

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Sorry I let this thread go dead for so long...I was on hiatus. Anyways, I’m back and still have the same issue. Truck starts, rough idles for a bit (30sec?) on cold start only, then runs really good virtually perfect....until the next cold start. I’ve used my Diablosport T-1000 to clear the...

    Truck won't start, won't even attempt to turn over

    This happened to me yesterday (Easter Sunday) at 6pm! Luckily I was at home and Autozone was open and had a battery. Picked one up and swapped it out, truck cranked right up. Old battery was original 2013 model.

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Thanks brother, I’ve actually been looking at a MDS delete kit from MMX. Probably going to go that route. I appreciate the info.

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Yeah, $3400 is the quote I got to fix it from my local shop. Kinda steep (to me) to potentially turn around and sell. Can’t get that extra $ back out of it.

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Already pinged the dude that set up a class action suit. This truck was $48k msrp and I’ve put ~10k in add ons. Dodge, ram, and FCA have treated me ok in the past, fixing defective vehicles. But their lack to to even make an attemp to save their name (IMO) is what has me ticked off. I don't plan...

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Redline stopped the tick for a few thousand miles, but it came back, although quieter. Dealer continued to do nothing about the tick or the p0304 code. Would love to fix my truck (cam/lifter) swap, if I knew it would work without issue for another 5-7 years. But recent posts make me think there...

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Th first two I had the dealer change at the 5k miles interval and used their normal penzoil platinum 5w20 with mopar filter. I began experiencing the “hemi tick” and had my first p0304 code at 11K miles. From 15k on I’ve used redline full synthetic 5w20 and a royal purple filter.

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Alright, after chiming in on a few others I’ve decided to start my own thread. I’ve got a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7L crew cab/short bed 4x4 with 33,900 miles on it. It’s got a 4” lift with 325/60r20 tires, upgrade from 3.21 gears to 3.92’s, and a few bolt ons (vararam CAI, moes 87mm TB, ARH LT’s, pedal...

    2011 Lifter/Cam Failure

    I can get definitely get a UOA. But How do I get the dealer to fix it under warranty? I have an invoice where it shows a CEL and related code P0304 (cyl 4 misfire)...and their solution was to clear it, then they couldn’t replicate the issue. I called FCA, jacked with them and the dealership for...

    2011 Lifter/Cam Failure

    Ho Holy smoke man! How bad did it sound/run? My 2013 with 33K miles has thrown a P0304 cylinder 4 misfire for a long time. Dealer kept clearing the code and saying it was ok. Now that I’m out of warranty they say the cam lifters need to be replaced. But it runs great, just a rough idle for 30...

    P304 on tunes 2015 with 21kmi

    Fuel injector cleaner did nothing. Had some delays, but finally got it into the dealer yesterday. Just got an email from them saying they want $1079.00 just to tear it down and see what the issue could be.

    P304 on tunes 2015 with 21kmi

    I’m going to put some Redline fuel injector cleaner in tonight then run thru that tank this weekend. I’ll do the injector swap Sunday night. If the issue is not an injector I intend to go to the dealer and see if I can get Ram cares to fix this under the powertrain warranty. (Whatever it is...

    I knew there had to be a trick so I didn’t end up with a gallon of gas on me. Thanks for the info, I’ll give it a shot this weekend.

    P304 on tunes 2015 with 21kmi

    Ok, so I put in new plugs and swapped the coil pack with one that wasn’t throwing a code, neither worked. Several have said the next thing to check is injectors by swapping with one from another location. But I can’t find a vid for our 4th gen hemi’s. Anything special I have to do (depressurize...

    P304 on tunes 2015 with 21kmi

    I’ve run Redline 5w20 and a Royal Purple filter since 5k. This is a cream puff of a truck (my wife’s words). 2013 with under 31k miles. I’m literally 10 days past the 5yr powertrain warranty today. Any chance Ram would cover this? (If anyone has hookups at Ram/Ram cares...please let me know)...

    P304 on tunes 2015 with 21kmi

    Well CEL finally popped up again today and got the same “P0304” code for cyl 4 misfire. So I guess that means its not the coil pack like I hoped. Can anyone suggest the next cheapest thing to check/replace? This is really weird it just rough idles on startup for <20 seconds, then seems to...

    P304 on tunes 2015 with 21kmi

    Following. I’ve got a 2013 with the same errorcod P0304 (cyl 4 misfire). Only 30,000 miles, I was 2k shy of spark plug change and I went ahead and did those. I thought that fixed it, but here I am ~500 miles later with the same error. I read on here to swap the coil pack to a different location...
