    2013 5.7L Hemi cam is failing

    Haven't looked at my window sticker yet but according to google the 8th digit being a T only signafies it being a 5.7 gas engine. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

    Moe's Catch Can

    First off I'd check with youre dealer and see what he says about a CC effecting youre warranty. In the real world it should have no effect on warranty however some dealers just want to be ***** and look for any excuse they can find to void the warranty. I empty mine around every 2000 miles, come...

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    Catch can findings

    Yep, I experienced the same thing. I had installed my CC in the spring so all summer into fall everything looked good. The first time I dumped it during cold weather I was worried until you guys assured me that it was normal. Guess what, as soon as it warmed up last spring everything back to...

    2013 5.7L Cam/Lifter issue

    That picture is definitely a bad cam due to material or hardening, either way, bad part. I'm of the opinion that there are a couple different issues with hemi tick and cam/ lifter failure. The picture above is a bad part, no oil is going to fix that. Then you have the rollers seizing which in my...

    Mopar Essential Care oil question

    I deliver parts to the local ram dealer and he was giving me greif one day for spending the money on either Amsoil or Redline, scoffing at $100 oil change. Knowing that if I was to take my ram to them to get a full synthetic oil change they would use a store brand synthetic, either NAPA or...

    Knocking at start up.

    The only thing being accomplished by " slow starting " as you call it is primeing youre fuel system or injectors. Now that's not a bad idea however thats not hemi tick. Some injectors are noiser than others. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

    Headers question

    I'm not sure how that warranty deal works exactly. I was at the local ram dealer and was talking to one if the tech's who was doing a cam/ lifter job. He said warranty wanted them to replace the 1 lifter that was bad but he said they didn't go by that, they replaced cam and all lifters. Didn't...

    Weird Climate Control Experience

    Synthetic Motor Oil Poll 2017

    I haven't read up on it in awhile but the way I understood it awhile ago was when gf6 comes out it will be split between gf6a and gf6b. One of them will be geared towards the new light weight oils and the other towards the common oils we have now. I don't know if that means 2 different formulas...
