Have posted a few times detailing my current issue with my truck - 2022 6.4l 2500 - I’ll link those below as not to be too long winded. Long story short, I’ve had all lifters replaced at about 4k miles due to engine knock at startup, dealership had my truck for the whole month of March. After a long trip with my camper, problem got more pronounced, informed them there was still a problem so they scheduled me an appointment with a Chrysler engineer. Fast fwd to June 11th, day before my appointment with the engineer, took my camper on a quick overnight trip and on the way home truck spit and sputters and dash lights up like a Christmas tree. Multiple cylinder misfire and torq module malfunction. Have it towed on the 12th back to the dealer, day of my appointment with the engineer. Went up there yesterday and was told engineer said it was a cam and lifter problem, will know the extent of the damage in a few days since their tech is out. So my question is, let them replace lifters and cam or should I push for a new engine? My thought is if the cam lobes are ate up there will be metal in the motor and they will not be able to remove it all, which will not be a good thing. Any thoughts, ideas or experiences with a similar problem will be greatly appreciated.
So it happened……..
Took my camper on a quick 100 mile overnight trip. Made it there and on the way home about 4 miles from the house (luckily), dash lit up like a Christmas tree with a serious misfire. Limped to the side of the road and called the brother in law to bring his ford (embarrassing) to pull my camper...
