Hi All
I know alot of talk about lifters in this forum but I couldnt find anything specifically discussing non MDS lifter choices and availability - If Ive missed this, please point me in the right direction Forum gurus.
Some quick overview:
2012 1500 RWD 5.7 - 120k miles
lifter failure on #5 and it toasted cam lobe.
As a result, I have decided to delete the MDS functionality and understand the mods necessary to do so.
Comp Cams has recommended the Stage 1 HRT MK201-300-17 kit for my application.
Many of you I'm sure already realize the problem with this is Lifter availability at this time. The Comp Cams lifter 856Y-16 is on backorder indefinitely. While the heavy duty Mopar updated unit is questionably available - I say this as there seems to be a huge amount of confusion on which lifters are actually being offered - although local dealerships are saying they have the 2015 Hellcat SRT lifters in stock - they are significantly more expensive than the Comp Cams - of course Comp Cams says their lifter is better.....but
My question is who has real world experience with either (or preferably both) to lay claim on which NON MDS lifter is better - Comp Cams 856Y-16 or Mopar 05038784AC?
thanks much!
