    Oil cooler hose disconnects

    No, it’s been all highway miles for the past 20,000 or so. I’m just gonna re fill it and keep a close watch. I haven’t done much research as far as changing the oil goes, but I did check the dipstick and it’s not showing any atf at all. So I’m guessing most of the old stuff is drained out. I’m...

    Oil cooler hose disconnects

    Yea I thought so too. I’ve been noticing some hesitation in my shifts, especially at lower speeds. I’m wondering if the two issues are related or purely coincidental. I figured if it’s happened before someone on this site could fill me in as to what they discovered. But I’ve never seen one just...

    Oil cooler hose disconnects

    what up fellas, just had an unusual occurrence and I was wondering if anyone else has had it happen. Or if there’s something that possibly caused the issue and needs to addressed before moving forward. Anyway I had just made a short trip to the store and when I got back home I noticed a...

    Heater hose layout

    I’ve been searching for a diagram of the heater core hoses and their orientation on the water pump. From the heater core at the firewall I have 2 hoses coming out one on top the other. At my water pump there is a small threaded fitting and above that closer to the radiator is a long metal...

    Oil contamination

    Ok thanks for the info. I’m thinking I’ll just short cycle some cheap oil. Run it a couple hundred miles and change it out. Give a visual inspection to see if it still shows contamination. As far as the radiator goes. I’m not sure exactly where the oil would build up if some did make its way...

    Oil contamination

    Just an update. It was a failed gasket on the timing cover . It had come apart at the top above the cam. I guess when the water pump kicked on it was forcing coolant straight into the oil pan. Thanks for the insight . Side note. Can anyone recommend a good flush for the oil system?

    Harmonic balancer, dampener, drive pulley?

    I just burned about 6 hrs and 2 wheel pullers removing my harmonic balancer. I got frustrated and stopped being as careful as I should have been but I finally got the damn thing off. However, I’m pretty sure I ruined it in the process. So I’m just trying to figure out the pros and cons of...

    MMX 6.4 Intake manifold

    I got one in from MMX a few days ago. It came with injectors, fuel rail, gaskets for manifold and throttle body. Also new bots for throttle body and manifold. Shipping was extremely fast. Had it 2 days after it was ordered. Very impressed with the service.

    My Jay Greene Cam job is.. uggh, done

    I was just thinking that some of these guys doing email tunes could be getting away with murder. If you know enough about custom tuning to decipher what has gone into one you probably don’t need to have someone else write a tune for you. It really becomes difficult to gauge how good a tune is...

    Intake

    It seems highly unlikely but if anyone is parting with a 6.4 intake manifold I’d be interested.

    Why cant I post in For Sale

    Damn I’m only at 25 posts. I try not to post too much as I feel like I might be bothering people or wasting someone’s time. But it looks like I might need to start another oil thread to get my count up. Royal purple all the way. Anyone care to debate which oils the best. Only need 75 people to...

    Oil contamination

    Ok, well I had the intake manifold off recently to replace some bad MDS plugs. I noticed some area on the intake where the plastic Had melted a little but the gaskets still looked good and the contact surface looks good. The truck had overheated a while back and I’m starting to worry I might...

    Oil contamination

    Where would it be possible for coolant to make its way into the engine oil system? I know a bad head gasket could cause this but are there any other areas this could occur? Like a poorly sealed intake manifold?. I’m not familiar with the oil and coolant pathways and where they could be...

    Use caution when selecting parts online..

    I just wanted to share this with anyone planning a cam swap or MDS delete. I recently swapped cams in my 2012 ram and quickly realized my budget wasn’t gonna cover everything needed to do the job correctly. Needing my vehicle I decided to use “ bargain” parts I found on the e-market. One of...

    Dealer flash pcm????

    Just curious if anyone has some experience dealing with installing a new pcm and having to get the dealer to flash it for proper functionality?? My 2012 Ram 5.7 started sending all kinds of random error codes, which turned out to be from a bad pcm. (Broken pins, got soaking wet) I got my hands...

    MDS Delete Plugs-Advice

    Yea, be careful if you use any knock off plugs that are offered by some online retailers. I had one fail on me after a couple weeks in the truck. Luckily the truck was idling in the driveway when I noticed oil start to pour out of my engine. I traced it to the top of the block and discovered 3...

    PCM replacement

    Where have people been going for replacement pcms for their rams. Or is there anyone out there that will refurbish yours.? Ive found some on eBay for a decent price but am reluctant to buy from them until I do a little more research. Any info is appreciated .

    possible oil leak sources

    Man I’m sorry I just saw the post asking for pics. My apologies, The actual plugs didn’t look bad but every single o-ring was completely shot. Almost like someone pieced it together with rings that fit but weren’t rated for the heat/pressure ? The new ones are installed and they looked...

    possible oil leak sources

    Just an update, and EdGs was on target. It was my MDS block off plugs. I figured they weren’t a critical engine component like lifters or camshafts, so I went the cheap route and ordered from e-bay. Well, ya get what you pay for. The o-rings were all flattened out and doing absolutely nothing in...

    possible oil leak sources

    Yea, I’ve been trying to figure if the oil leak could stem from that repair but I can’t make any connection. I removed the intake manifold and noticed a lot of oil puddled up where the MDS solenoids used to be.(capped off now). And the manifold gaskets looked terrible. Like they were burnt or...

    possible oil leak sources

    I was replacing a heater hose this afternoon in my driveway when i encountered something ive never seen before.
