    Radiator

    co-pilot couldn't tell a difference looking at them In the store. Went with the cheaper one. Got it home transferred some of the little parts like the bolt hold downs etc to the new one. Installed works perfectly.

    Radiator

    Same manufacture does not list any difference as far a duty or standard. Thinking one is the pin mount style and the other mounts a different way? Don't know why Ram would have two different ways to mount the radiator to the truck for the same engine configuration

    Oil pressure

    2010 ram 1500 5.7 just completed mds delete, new cam and lifters after #3 cylinder intake lifter took out cam. Prior to parking vehicle for repairs oil pressure was reading 20 pounds lower than what was normal for the truck. Normal prior to failure was 52-55 pounds warm engine at highway cruise...

    MDS and tuner

    TideFan1967 I believe the cam is stock specs as far as lift, duration, lobe separation etc. Was part of the AMS racing mds delete. Cam is non mds but VVT

    MDS and tuner

    2010 ram 1500 5.7 4x4 quad cab. Had the cam/lifter failure. Replaced all 16 lifters with non mds lifters and non mds cam VVT. Kit from AMS. All went good except I don't think the diablo tuner actually turned off the mds and yes I selected it. Loaded the 87 tune. ECO is still coming on the dash...

    Front fender

    2010 Ram 1500 4x4 quad cab 5.7 Looking to get one of those cheap fenders off the internet and get it painted locally. Driver side front. Will a regular Ram 1500 fender work on the Larime models? I've got the fender things bolted around the wheel well that the factory puts on. I don't mind having...

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    Truck up and running so far so good. Big thanks to everyone who offered advice and help especially RamRod37 Only thing I'm not sure about is if the diablo tuner actually turned off the mds. Light still comes on and very slight rpm drop like it's still working. I'll have to call their tech and...

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    RamRod any reason why I cant torque the heads down with plugs already installed? I can't see it affecting torque values what little the air would be compressed inside the chambers. Thoughts?

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    Ramrod I've got the factory mopar ones myself. Still no sealer for those as well you think? I probably should have just went fel pro myself. Guess I just like throwing money away I don't have

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    On the head gaskets ramrod are you using any type of rtv permantex type sealer around the main water ways to the block on both sides front and back or just using head gaskets as Is. Ive gotten maxed answers on the topic

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    Ramrod wonder if those pads have any abrasives like aluminum oxide etc. In them. Stuff does nasty things to bearings if get into your motor but it's working for you so I guess that's not an issue. Definitely save a metric ton of time. Thanks man

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    How about using any RTV, permatex stuff around the main water passages front and rear of block on head gaskets? Some say to use a thin layer around those areas. Some use a spray sealer on both sides of gasket some say they use nothing at all. 2010 5.7 and using factory mopar head gaskets if that...

    Block and heads prep for new gaskets

    First I would like to say like Jonathan Lawson and his whole life colonial Penn coverage for just nine dollars and ninety five cents a month, changing the oil pump on a 2010 ram 1500 4x4 5.7 without dropping the oil pan IS possible. Took me forever. Now on too the serious stuff, motor still in...

    Head gaskets

    Haven't took cam out yet but looking at replacement has a small pin assuming that's for alignment so it can only bolt onto cam gear one way thus taking care of proper orientation in relation to how the old cam was bolted to the gear

    Head gaskets

    Another stupid question. Once you align the two marks on the timing chain at 12 o'clock and single mark at six on the crank gear(old cam still in truck at this point), but once I've aligned all timing marks properly. How you position thr new cam to the exact location the old one was sitting at...

    Harmonic balancer bolt

    Smithwessn I finally did the breaker bar on the frame thing. Position the breaker bar underneath side of passenger frame. Turn motor over for about a full second. Unbolted easy and smooth. Had my neighbor bump motor while I watched.

    Head gaskets

    Brando 10 4 on them FN exhaust bolts lol. Just unbolted from the collector and pulled heads with exhaust manifolds still on the heads and you are correct doing more than just changing the heads. Cam failure so pulling the heads to get to the lifters and front of engine to get the cam out...

    Head gaskets

    Fast69 was asking about the bolt head threads screwing down into the block. If the holes are blind or they extend down into the block where coolant can seep through bolt threads. Man I really appreciate the help. Got everything apart now except water pump and front cover. Can't get harmonic...
