    Truck won’t start unless jumper is connected.

    I have a 2012 ram 1500 4.7. The only thing I’ve done to it this year has been replaced the tail light bulbs with LED bulbs. This issue has slowly been getting worst.

    Cams for a 2013 4.7

    I understand the 4.7 was discontinued in 2013 and not many preformance parts are available, but I'm interested in cams. Iv seen many HO cams on gen 3s and was wondering if cams would be worth it? Has the engine changed at all where HO cams won't work? And if any one knows a good place to buy some?
