My saga with the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4.7 continues. I have had multiple issues with it this year. The exhaust manifold bolts breaking, lifters failing, and rocker arms jumping out from under the camshaft. I decided that it's time to replace the engine with a Jasper remanufactured one. Upon removing the old engine, we found metal in the oil pan. We also found oil in the antifreeze. The rear main had been leaking as well as the front seal. I hope this truck will keep spinning them down the road for many years to come. FYI, I had been running Mobile one 5-20 Synthetic for the last few years and never went above 3,000 miles. There was milky oil on the oil fill cap that tells me moisture was not getting out. I believe that oil passageways for the 6th and 8th cylinders were clogged up causing the lifter to fail multiple times.
