    Yeah I have been there and still looking. I only come here as last resort. I like figuring things out and researching all I can before asking a question. I will let yall know if I get it figured out.

    cam and lifter replacement gone wrong !!!

    Update. 4000 miles in and still have the tick but no codes and truck runs good. Seems to have a little idle shutter but nothing serious. Gas mileage is the same as before. Maybe a pushrod or I just didn't do something right.

    Third brake light not working

    Hello everyone. On my 2012 1500 express my third brake light stopped working. I checked it and the brake light bulb was blown. I replaced it and still have nothing. No cargo lights either. All connections are clean and water free. Wiring looks good. Looked at the wiring diagram and seems to go...

    Thanks for all the info guys. The truck has been running great with no codes for 1500 miles so far so I'm going to start with new manifold gaskets and make sure the heads and manifolds are straight and level. After that I think I will just drive it till the damn thing blows up !!! Thanks again...

    Wow how sad it is to have my tread taken over. Really guys. Please keep it on subject. I'm just trying to fix my truck and learn as much as I can. Yes I read the comment of the trash motor and all that and said ok and moved on. Let try to do the same. Is there a way to delete all that so if...

    cam and lifter replacement gone wrong !!!

    Man thanks for all the info. I did reuse the push rods. All looked perfect and put them back in the same way they came out. On the rocker arm I took off in sequence and back on in sequence and torqued to spec. It still gets under my skin that #5 was my problem but now the ticking is on the other...

    I don't think so. There are tons of people and mechanics that have replaced the cam and lifter and everything is fine after that. I don't know for sure.

    cam and lifter replacement gone wrong !!!

    I'm at 1000 miles with red line oil and rp oil filter and still have ticking. Either I did something wrong or just got a bad set of lifters. Truck is running good. Idle is just a touch rough and I mean just a bit not 100% smooth, but has great power and no codes at all.

    Wrecked my 2012

    So I was taking daughter to softball practice and at a intersection that I had a green light a homeless guy ran across the street in front of me, I was doing around 30mph. He was up and walking around but had a bad cut on his ass check and other cuts on his arms and back. Cops came and I had a...

    Did you replace the cam too? Was the old lifters messed up when you pulled them out ?
