    Synthetic Oil

    Just changed my oil with penz ultra platinum today. It was the first time I’ve changed it on my truck. I have to ask....was that a plastic oil pan? It didn’t look metal to me.

    Hellcat Lifters-Better Quality?

    I wonder myself if it’s an engine design issue. The cam lifters are failing, is it due to lack of oil reaching them?

    2011 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 Spark plugs

    The problem is the lifters failing and damaging the cam right? Maybe if you change the lifters earlier it’ll save the cam?

    Paint Code Help

    Hello, I have a 2011 Ram 1500. It is two toned, green on top and silver on the bottom. I can find the paint code online for the green but I’m having a hard time with the silver. Anyone know what it is? I dropped something lifting an item off the side and scratched it up pretty well on my wheel...

    Crap. That doesn’t sound good. Has anyone not had to replace these darn things.

    Cam failures and Molybdenum

    Not sure I buy this completely. It’s not Ram specific. High amounts of moly can lead to oil pump failures I believe. But based on what a lot of people on here are saying I’d agree the rams run better with it.

    2011 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 Spark plugs

    I used autolite XP5325 when I did mine. Been 30k since I’ve done it with no issues. Much cheaper then ngk. At the time I got a $30 rebate with the 8 of them. They run specials like that all the time. Btw- it looks like a 4 pack is only $21 on amazon right now for them. Changing the plugs in the...

    Full Catch Can --> A Lot of "Blow by"

    Keep staying on the fence with catch cans. I read somewhere that the reason they collect so much oil is only because they end up condensing the vapor which causes the oil to come out of it. Normally it would stay in the vapor form and just be burned by the engine. Not sure which way to go. 125k...

    Simple Engine Swap question

    I have a 2011 with 107k on it. Bought it at 85k. All these posts about cams here has me nervous. Figured I’d get 250k on this engine before these kind of problems showed up. Now I’m thinking I’ll only make it another 20k-30k more. Should I just get rid of this thing and buy a Ford? It’s what I’m...

    LiquiMoly

    Still quieter at almost 2k miles since adding. I’ll most likely put some sea foam in it, run it for 300 miles and change it out at 3k miles and see if it ticks still. Will be putting in pup ultra with oil change.

    Full Catch Can --> A Lot of "Blow by"

    I feel like most of the stuff a catch can catches will burn off. I know there’s oil but a lot of it looks like water too. And doesn’t the catch can condense the vapor in the line? If so maybe it would be more vapor form when it goes back to the engine and burn off. I just don’t see why capturing...

    Spark plugs??

    No mistake. I’ll never use champions. I’ve had nothing but problems with there plugs in the past on a stratus I used to own. Putting copper ones back in May give slightly better power, but man it’s a pia to change these plugs. Especially since there are 16 of them! Mechanic shops around here...

    Belt squeak

    I’m sure the dealer does. I watched a mechanic at a tire shop use a long handled screwdriver and held it up to his ear. Old school. I got a second opinion on mine besides the dealers. Btw- mine came and went for awhile too. So I ignored it for about 6k miles and then it was as loud as it was in...

    Belt squeak

    If it sounds like this: Then mine was a water pump bearing. :) hope that helps some.

    2011 Dodge Ram stalls at red lights sometimes

    Try replacing the pcv valve and clean the maf sensor.

    Camshaft/lifter problem

    I wouldn’t worry about it to much unless the engine starts ticking very loud. Slight tick a lot of people have oil advice or additive advice to help with it. Im sure the issue is common, however, probably not a huge percent of rams out there have cam issue. In fact I kind of wish someone would...

    K&N drop in air filter and my MPG's

    Agh the K&N vs paper battle. There’s plenty of studies showing the k&n doesn’t filter as much. And a lot of it may be because most people don’t oil/maintain them right. Some people over oil it as well and mess up the Maf. My ram had a k&n in it when I bought it used and there was a lot of dust...

    Stalling

    This maybe a dumb suggestion but have you looked at your maf sensor and throttle body? If there is a lot of oil on the maf and a good coating on the throttle body it could cause stalling. Maybe dumb but it’s a quick and easy check. Never mind didn’t see it only happens at cold temps. :) This...

    Water in fuel message.

    Is there a fuel water sensor? Could be a bad sensor.

    LiquiMoly

    150 miles later after putting the lifter additive in I can say it does seem quieter. I hate additives because you always wonder if it’s in your head. But I will say for fact my oil pressure was always around 55-57 psi at 65-70 mph. Today on the way home I noticed it was 49-50 psi. I’m still not...

    Coolant temp fluctuating???

    Perhaps the sensors are not accurate?
