    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    The post is more about educating guys of how the system operates ,then it is about deleting the mds. Nobody can really comment about whether the mds is the issue or not,but if you have one of the trucks with tolerances not as good as say your truck,they might be the guys that shouldn't be...

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    That appears to be working for you,but for the next guy it might not work. As in why do some trucks last 200,000+ miles with no manifold or cam and lifter issues,but the next guy with the identical truck has done exhaust manifolds twice by a 100,000 miles,and a cam and lifters at 60,000 miles...

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Makes me think that once a lifter goes,it's usually only a matter of miles before it's gouged the cam to the point you get a misfire,and if you were to keep driving it,the rest of them might also go .Check out BR1500's pics in post 142,there was more then one lifter getting ready to go...

    Synthetic Oil

    Could be in the Engine Masters video. If you figure they turn 10,000 rpm,a top fuel engine makes about 666 revolutions per pass,not counting burn-out/back up time etc.

    Lifter Failure / Hot Oil / Better Cooling etc.

    Have you thought about replacing the valve springs while you have it apart.If it's not gonna break the budget,it might not be a bad idea.The springs get weak,and start to allow the lifters to skid more then roll over the lobe.

    What caused this??!!!

    Are all the valve springs good? The hemi is an interferance engine,and will have a valve hit if the spring breaks,or if the cam falls out of time.

    Switched to Redline 5w30

    I don't know how much cooling there is with it,i think it's more of an oil heater then cooler,basically designed to help get the oil up to temp faster.If you figure the oil pump is moving in excess of 5 gallons of oil per minute,just how much heat does it remove from the oil???

    CV axle problems

    I don't know any dealers in Winnipeg,i'm about 850 miles/1350 kms west of you in Alberta,lol.All the parts guy knew is they're getting them from somewhere in Manitoba.

    Buying mopar lifters on eBay?

    About the only after market lifters with a rep close to as good as the OEM lifters are the Johnsons with the axle oiling feature,the rest seem to have issues. A hyd lifter is the toughest thing to build in an engine,no other parts have as tight of machining tolerances as a lifter has

    Switched to Redline 5w30

    Do you have the add on cooler though.There's 2 coolant hoses feeding it,and it's directly above your filter.Supposedly the very late built 16's started to get it,and by 17 it was on the majority of 5.7 Ram 1500's

    They added a sandwich cooler,that fits above the filter somewhere around late 2016/early 17...

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Just noticed your in Calgary.Chris Zelinsky of Player 3 Tuning in Edmonton handles TSP cams,just don't use TSP lifters,you want either geniune Mopar lifters or Johnson lifters with the axle oiling.Apparently the Melling HV pump is cheaper then the Hellcat pump. I'll warn you,it's not cheap to do...

    It takes about 16 min's to watch this video,it does a better job of explaining the system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcDeWXYtozE

    I don't think MMX is on here,but if you go to their site,you can price things out. Matt Fikac at Moes is another good one to contact,along with Ryan Hogan at FRP https://www.modernmusclextreme.com/c-112-rt-57-hemi-performance-parts.aspx https://www.moes-performance.com/...

    2015 5.7 hemi driver side oil leak (valve cover)

    They have been known to leak,but it's not very common. I'd do the valve covers first and go from there

    Erik the note at the bottom might interest you. Oops just noticed you're talking about a 6.4,ignore me,lol I'd look into the lubegard thread though,as it's a good addition to your PUP 0W-40 https://www.ramforum.com/threads/did-lubegard-biotech-kill-your-hemi-tick.165061/

    2015 5.7 hemi driver side oil leak (valve cover)

    The first image where you've circled the hole,is an actual plug for the lifter gallery,and there is pressurized oil on the other side of that plug

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Your truck if it's a 2019 1500 will have mds,any 5.7 equipped 1500 with an automatic transmission after 2005 should have mds

    The earlier trucks prior to VVT in 09 weren't as prone to lifter failure,like the later redesigned VVT engine is.They're issue was more dropped valve seats.

    My tuner did the 6th lock-out for the dyno,i'm not sure how he did it though.

    One rare Canadian Hemi Coronet

    Yea our generation wrecked alot of good cars. My cousin had a 70 429/4 speed Mercury Cyclone that he rolled on our gravel road,the car sat in our backyard for a year while he fought the insurance company over what it was worth,they only built a little over 390 of them with the 429,and only about...
