    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    Doing the exact same on my 2016 Ram 1500. Truck is still in shop awaiting the return of my ‘retuned’ computer that had to be sent off. Hoping you get the same results I do.

    MDS delete or not?

    Hi Sherman Bird, I’m by no means saying MDS delete is superior than MDS but since I need to replace the cam/lifters anyways, might as well try a different route. For those following this post, I’m not saying this will eliminate the dreaded lifter failure in the future, but I’m hoping to get...

    MDS delete or not?

    Also, I’ve decided to swith to Redline Oil with the new cam/lifters etc. cost me $160cdn for 7 quarts. Yikes! Hope it’s worth the $$. Seems like great results from all the posts I’ve read. So, MDS delete with new lifters, cam, retuning, timing stuff, spark plugs, aftermarket manifolds and filled...

    MDS delete or not?

    Yep. I told the shop to do the MDS delete. (Hellcat lifters, new cam, solenoid plug deletes, retune) not to mention replacing the current manifolds/bolts with aftermarket ones. I’ll have my truck back in a week and will be able to report back. Jeepwalker: after spending this kind of money, I...

    MDS delete or not?

    Thanks for the video. Gives me (and others) a good idea about this MDS system. After watching it, my decision to do the delete seems like the right choice for me.

    MDS delete or not?

    Camshaft, non MDs lifters, aftermarket manifolds, re tune alone is $1200. This also in Canadian bucks. Shop labor is $160+ per hour and labour book states it’s around 20+ hours. I also got quoted $7k for no manifolds, another shop wanted $16k for a Re/Re new motor swap. I trust this shop and I’m...

    MDS delete or not?

    Includes re-tune and non MDS lifters. I believe it’s the Hellcat ones. No dongle. I can’t be trusted to do anything except put gas in it and pay for repairs. :)

    What is this squeaky squeak??

    Bingo. You got it. No misfire as of yet. Lifters/Camshaft in process of getting replaced. Also, adding new aftermarket manifolds while they’re in there.

    MDS delete or not?

    Hi Jeepwalker. I currently have 140,000kms on the Ram. Beautiful condition. I’m planning on keeping for at least 5 years then hoping to switch to a EV pickup. My daily driving is slow. My commute to work is 5km and primarily use the truck to tow my 5,000lb RV. That’s when I’m on the hwy. I...

    MDS delete or not?

    Hi TR… You’re right, but from what I understand the MDS and AFM (GM) seem to suggest that premature lifter failure is generally caused by oil pressure issues. So, if I’m spending $8k (cdn) to have this job done, I’m thinking it may be in my best interest to get the delete done. The primary use...

    I’m in Cochrane, Alberta. I’ll PM you.

    MDS delete or not?

    Ok, it’s official that a cam & lifters are going to be replaced. Shop wants to know if I’d like to delete the MDS in order to lower the risk of potential lifter failure in future. Different components + tune will be needed. Shop says it will affect my fuel economy. My question is this…. How...

    Tell me this isn't lifter tick...

    Hi RamRob… Just posted a video of mine. Somewhat quieter in (P)ark/(N)eutral but louder and more distinct in (D)rive. Dealership yesterday said ‘completely normal’. I just don’t buy into that. Mines a 2016 1500 w/142k kms. Goes into a more reputable local shop this Wednesday for 2nd opinion...

    What noise is this???

    2016 Ram 1500, Hemi 5.7 with 142k kms. Just purchased this ‘new to me’ 2016 Ram a few weeks ago. Love the truck but this noise/knock/tick/squeak I’m hearing is driving me insane. Just had it at dealer yesterday and was told normal operation don’t worry. It’s obviously out of warranty so I’m...
