    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    That all might be true but MDS lifters are unreliable.

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    No. The issue isn't the functionality of the MDS system.

    I added the factory AUX switch panel and relay box.

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    The cam was inspected. The service director and the techs all thought they'd find a damaged cam but they couldn't see anything wrong with it.

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    Unfortunately since I didn't do the work myself I have no way of knowing. I don't think the dealer kept track of it either. I would normally do the work myself but I don't have garage large enough to do the work in the time it would take me.

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    This pertains to MDS equipped Hemi's only: Sure, "Hemi Tick" is almost always a bad lifter. You should be able to easily hear the lifter going out, it is distinct from injector noise. The problem is most dealers are really just parts swappers and if the computer isn't throwing a code they...

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    There's been a continuous 10k+ BO on the MDS lifters for two years straight and no back orders on the non MDS lifters. Do you think that's because it hardly ever happens and the internet is where whiners congregate or because MDS lifters are problematic? If I were buying a new truck tomorrow it...

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    Sure, swap lifters, cam, and ECU plus pull radiator, AC condenser, oil pan, and all drive accessories. Would you like to cut me a check for $3k and cover all other engine and transmission warranty on my 3yo truck with 29k miles?

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    Nope. Same problem in every MDS Hemi. They all use the same part number. My real beef is Melling makes the lifters and has them in stock...but FCA refuses to buy them in smaller quantities so BO's stack up and customer's vehicles go unwarrantied.

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    Not sets of lifters, one lifter in the bank.

    Does the 6.4 have lifter issues like the 5.7??

    Yes, the 6.4 has a serious issue with MDS lifters going out. I'm on my 4th set, each time FCA has had a 10k+ unit back order. It's not isolated to the 6.4, the bad lifters are in ever Hemi engine made.

    2018 6.4 MDS problems

    I'm on my 4th set of MDS lifters. My truck has been off the road for more than 45 days this last time. I've missed trip after trip and total down time is probably close to 90 days. One of these days there is going to be a class action lawsuit against FCA over this.

    6.4 problems

    The diesels have hydroboost brakes. Is the whine coming from inside the cab or outside?

    6.4 problems

    The Cummins trucks are hydroboost, the Hemi trucks are vacuum boost. All gas 2500/3500 have been vacuum boost since 03. Online Mopar parts dealers are often incorrect and shouldn't be used to research part numbers.

    6.4 problems

    All 4th gen gas 2500's are vacuum boost, not hydro boost. Your picture is of a vacuum boost.

    6.4 problems

    The gas 2500/3500 do not have hydroboost brakes. OP, reach under the dash and put your hand on the steering shaft when you rev up the engine. Sound from the powder steering pump can travel up the steering shaft. I wonder if you have a power steering pump going out.

    6.4 Hemi 100K Spark Plug Change

    For you guys wanting to do service work in the engine compartment but find it physically difficult, take a look at the Topside Creeper. It allows you to rest over a padded ladder-like platform instead of the truck. https://www.amazon.com/Traxion-3-100-Foldable-Topside-Creeper/dp/B00QGXSODA

    Tazer Ram

    I have both. I wouldn't buy the ProCal again.

    Tazer Ram

    AlfaOBD is a better option than both AEV and the Tazer. You can reprogram you're entire BCM with the AlfaOBD.

    Pulsar Tuner for 6.4 is available-

    The major benefit of a tuner for the Hemi platform is transmission tuning. If the Pulsar doesn't tune the transmission it's not worth the money.

    All of the front end parts, except for the winch and cradle, will fit on a Cummins (or Hemi).

    At the end of my rope...

    "Deadly" LULZ! Don's instructions say to set caster and toe. As in, on the alignment print out they need to be within those stated specs. Since toe changes with chaster that pretty much means you need to set caster and then the toe. If the alignment shop doesn't understand that then you've...

    It's official-the 6.4L is getting an 8-speed

    The single biggest shortcoming to the 6.4 2500 was the 66RFE gearing. I'm not going to buy the new model but to say I'm a little jelly is an understatement.

    Wheel offset for 2500

    Heat gun, zip ties, and a little trimming. Where there's a will, there's a way. I ran 37's on 2" of lift and RAM_Designs is running the same suspension. You have more lift and smaller tires, you just need to trim a little.
