    Creamy oil under a fill cap

    Clean the cap completely. Then take it for a 30 minute freeway trip. The trip will get the engine up to normal operating temp and will evaporate any remaining moisture. If you have a leak, there will be more foamy oil. Good luck!

    Accidentally remote started truck with no oil- am I okay?

    Should be fine.

    Cam failures or not. How many miles have you gone?

    2009 5.7l lifter/cam failure at 114k miles.

    A year later and no fix yet

    I think it is his problem. I had the same noise as his truck. If you spray a little water on the belt while at idle, and the noise disappears, then its definitely a belt or pulley issue.

    A year later and no fix yet

    I had that noise on my 2009 hemi. I found that the power steering pump pulley was not aligned with the other pulleys. It was pushed in too close to the pump. I bought a pulley puller and had to move the pulley almost a quarter inch to line it up. Sound gone! Good luck.

    5.7 ENGINE LIFE...AND FRONT END SUSPENSION ISSUE

    My truck would jump around when going over a bump while in a turn. Turned out to be the left front shock, it had completely failed. Installed new font shocks and problem gone!

    Hemi Time Bomb

    Da Smith solved the issue! Just change you oil every month and get a new truck at 130k miles. Sorry but my cam ate a lifter at 114k miles. I had to search for a week to find a stock cam and eventually had to buy Melling lifters because the stock lifters were indefinitely out of stock. Why...

    Would you buy another Hemi - Poll?

    I like the power and economy of my 09 5.7L Hemi. I didn't like having to replace the cam and lifters at 114k miles. I did the work myself for about $1300. It seems they have no plans to correct the issue, so I wont buy another one.

    2009-2012 1500 WIN Modules

    Same problem with my 2009 Laramie. Just ordered from Autotech. Hopefully this will also fix my TPMS problem.

    Does disabling MDS mitigate the mechanical failures associated with it?

    I bought my 2009 Laramie 5.7L with 82k miles. Someone had already turned off MDS. A lifter failed at 114k miles.

    Stumped! Anyone else have any idea.

    Like a few others have mentioned, imho the only viable answer is you have a bad compression tester. Looking forward to hearing how this turns out!

    Need lifters

    Mopar Lifters were on backorder last year when I replaced mine. I bought Melling lifters from Oreillys Autoparts. I was told Melling manufactures the Mopar lifters. On another note, I would absolutely replace the cam with the lifters. And also figure out what bent the pushrod before spending a...

    Another cam/lifter

    Me too. It all started with P05 cylinder misfire code at 116k miles. I did the job myself with a stock cam, but used Melling lifters.
