If you own 2014-2018 heavy duty with 6.4 Hemi; do yourself a favor and try to never idle engine and change oil every 3k miles or earlier. If you can’t do those 2 things, get rid of truck now!
Just went 2 months without a truck due to engine failure and $9,000 later(for rebuilt) due to having to go to more than one shop for fix. Parts are scarce and marked up. Hard to find new 6.4 engines anywhere for Ram Trucks. Most places won’t warranty 3rd party engines. If you know how to work on engine yourself, you’ll spend half of what I spent.
My truck only has 105k miles (+\- 900 idle hours and 3,500 drive hours). Camshaft was completely destroyed, it clogged oil pump and starved engine of oil. I changed oil whenever truck oil notification went off (I learned my lesson not to trust it). Always used recommended pennzoil and never drove with engine light on or went cheap with replacement parts for engine. If you have an engine tick that doesn’t go away after truck is warmed up, get truck fixed immediately before it gets worse or trade in for another one. Seriously! I’m out a total $19,000 total since owning my truck with repairs. Tranny destroyed itself at 85k miles. Water pump at 90k miles, coil packs and spark plugs at 95k miles, ball joints at 104k miles, etc.
