    My 5.7 is trashed

    Yeah, I was surprised to see the extent of the damage. At idle you'd have thought it was just a great running engine so did the garage until they got it stripped down. I had the chime going off and some hesitation other than that it was not driving severely.

    My 5.7 is trashed

    3 weeks ago. Started up one morning with a tick that went away a quarter mile down the road. Had the random ding. Checked the code and cylinder 3 misfire. No noise associated with it. Had it checked out, new plugs, swapped coil, level 2 diagnostic on ignition and injectors showing all in order...

    My 5.7 is trashed

    I baby the truck. Never beat on it. Oil and filter changes every 3500 to 5k miles. Using I thought the best oil Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w 20. Never used any additive although I think I will now and switch to 5w 30 either pup or quaker state and lubegard. My theory I guess aligns with a lot I've...

    My 5.7 is trashed

    I was driving the truck easy as it wasn't making any noise. As for the cam damage this was a Jasper reman with 75k miles put in 6 years ago. That #3 intake lifter had excessive slop in it so the needle bearings must have worn. The damage to the cam bearings and crank main bearings was...

    My 5.7 is trashed

    You're right. Started off with a tick one morning then went away. Couldn't hear any noise from the engine that indicated such a severe amount of damage. I was getting it addressed and went thru the troubleshooting. Couldn't get in to a shop for 2 weeks on a waiting list. Any local garage is...

    My 5.7 is trashed

    This is my 2011 ram 2500 with the 5.7 cylinder 3 misfire. Ends up the lifter roller grooved the cam. When they pulled the cam the bearings are trashed. They pulled the oil pan and a rod or main bearing finding metal throughout. Was supposed to be a simple cam and lifters looking like an engine...

    Full list of rebuild - anything else?

    So my truck is in the shop. Sure enough cylinder 3 misfire when the heads were pulled, the number 3 intake lifter roller failure and cam lobe grooved out.
