    Air Condition acting weird

    Hey, what's up. My 09 Ram Laramie's air condition is acting weird. When I start my truck up it blows for a few seconds the way it should, then it almost stops blowing no matter how the knop is turned. Then after about six minutes suddenly starts blowing again and from there on I can control the...

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Yeah I probably should have been clearer about what I meant. Anyway I hope that it holds up this time. I did end up swapping the cam back to a new oem 5.7. I just don't have enough money for another expensive repair. Luckily with the upgraded parts that I have now it makes cam swaps easier if I...

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Ok, how about before they are installed. Like when I delivered them the parts we went and just tried with one of the new springs without retainers or anything. We just held them in the spot where they are supposed to go and checked to see if there would be any play or if they would fit better...

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Hey what's up, the mechanic called me today and said that they had finished putting my truck together and that it seems to be running fine. They just noticed that the alternator didn't work right so after they fix that it should be good to go. Also these mopar performance springs should fit...

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Wouldn't they have replaced them when they replaced the cylinder head? Or do they reuse them?

    6.4l cam swap problem

    I was thinking about all of this again. Anyway if the valve springs hit coil bind, would it break the valve stem? And why does it always happen on the same piston. It can't be the cylinder head cause that was replaced. Is it possible that the camshaft is defective? I just find that very weird.

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Sorry if I wasn't quite clear earlier. The first time I had a valve problem was when I still used 5.7 springs. It happened after a few pulls at high rpm after the tune. I believe that the springs where not strong enough for the cam and high rpm. Anyway, a few days ago I asked my mechanic about...

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Well at this point I don't want to try and go as cheap as possible. Anyway what I have in cart are mopar performance valve springs, oem retainers and manley pushrods. With a total of $300 after tax and shipping. And I already have manley valves on the way which cost almost $300 and the...

    6.4l cam swap problem

    So I would be better off going with the manleys then staying stock? I did order manley stainless steel valves by the way. I'm fed up with constantly having to pull the engine apart.

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Are the manley 26640-16 pushrods any good? I'm thinking of upgrading my pushrods in order to avoid any further problems.

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Not everyone has a 8 speed transmission,lol. With my 5 speed I need the extra rpm to stay in the powerband in between shifts.

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Haha, I thought that I had erased the first part of my reply that's why part of it is the same as the last part.

    6.4l cam swap problem

    Ah ok, thanks for clarifying that. Man I hope that this fixes it cause I can't afford another broken valve Thanks man, I really hope that this fixes it. Cause I really can't afford another broken valve. But seriously, I'm really lucky that my piston and cylinder didn't suffer any damage.
