    Top-End rebuild, new cam, lifters, gaskets 2011 Ram 1500 crank no start

    I had a similar issue, my timing chain was off. I also found a failed fuel injector.

    Transmission Compatibility

    Does the transmission need to come from a 4x4 or same rear diff?

    Transmission Compatibility

    What years of the ZF8HP70 are all compatible for a direct swap with a 2014 4x4 3.92 GR? I am thinking about getting a low miles used one to drop in in the next year or two. I think my TQ converter is starting to go and an OEM one is almost as much as what I can find for a used transmission...

    Ram 1500 acceleration issues

    This sounds like just a torque converter and/or fluid problem, not necessarily a bad transmission. Any additional info since your last post?

    Cam/lifter tick

    could also be a manifold leak. Retorque the manifold bolts while cool.

    Fuel Milage Drop

    Also if you have a scanner check for some codes. When my lifter failed fuel mileage dropped to about 14-15 over my normal 18-20.

    Fuel Milage Drop

    also, check the gap on all of them. With 16 of em, theres bound to be one bad. .044

    High idle after cam swap

    how does it behave other than idling? Does it rev okay? Sound normal? When my timing was off on my rebuild, the engine sounded like a diesel. I would also verify the phaser was locked out properly. If you DEFINITELY installed pushrods correctly, AND timed it CORRECTLY, most plausible...

    2013 5.7 2x4 238,000miles p0303 on Hard Acceleration

    Lookup the cam bible thread. It's intimidating at first but can save you tons of $$. Create a thread and post your progress, challenges, questions, and this forum will get you through it.

    2013 5.7 2x4 238,000miles p0303 on Hard Acceleration

    Pop the hood. Swap cylinder 3 and 1 coil packs. If misfire stays on cylinder 3 then swap cylinder 1 and 3 injectors. If #3 misfire persists, its gonna be cam and lifters. If the truck was not beat by your father in law, it's almost certainly worth rebuilding the top end. If it was used to...

    o2 Code

    I didnt punt it, I plan on getting them done at a mechanic when I get the front main seal replaced as well. Just havn't gone to town yet. No CAI, has a newish filter changed after rebuild.

    Exhaust manifold. Rule #1: don't trust anyone, especially your brother .

    P0153 I believe. I'll check it this evening tho.

    o2 Code

    I have had an o2 code since my rebuild. I tried to change it myself a long time ago but couldnt get it loose so said fuckit. Anyways the truck has been running fine and my mileage has been like when I bought it new. 19-20 if I don't go to town. I drive like an old man most of the time. But...

    Pulled over to take this. Been around 12k miles since rebuild.

    Misfire after removing heads

    Not true unless you need to redo timing. Make sure you are however slowly and incrementally tightening those rocker arm shafts. Turn engine over a few times and make sure every single rocker/pushrod is mated properly before putting valve covers and intake back on.

    Excessive rocker lash

    2014 is 4th gen forum, you'd get much more help if you repost this in that forum.

    VVT Solenoid Metal Flakes

    If you aren't under warranty, do the cam and lifters. Sure, there is some risk, but it's low. The bulletin IS from the same company that won't acknowledge the fact that there was a lifter issue in the first place...Flush the oil a few times after a few hundred miles and use a good filter. I...

    VVT Solenoid Metal Flakes

    Probably not. Some will sound alarms and say your block is compromised because of a stellantis bulletin, but in most situations, swap the cam, throw in new lifters, check the VVT valve, maybe even replace it while you are there and move on. Mine and my dads both had a few small flakes and we...

    5.7 cam or injector, very disappointed

    No matter what else you do, ONLY USE OEM LIFTERS. I have yet to hear of a good alternative to OEM.

    2014 Ram hemi 5.7 rpm fluctuation and hesitation on acceleration

    If the trucks in good shape, even if its cam and lifters, if you do the work yourself its totally worth investing in a rebuild. But as Wild one said, you need to start with the basics. Rule out spark/iginition coils, then I would move to drive train. Bad U Joints being the first thing that...
