    Easier to pull the oil pan on a lifted 1500?

    I’m looking for anyone with any experience doing a cam and lifter replacement on a lifted 1500. My 2015 4x4 is lifted 4” with a kit from rough country and it’s going to need a cam and lifters at some point soon. I’m most likely going to swap to a high volume oil pump with non mds lifters and...

    2021 5.7 Hemi already getting a top end rebuild, good to go or time to move on?

    My 2021 Hemi is getting a new cam, phasers, and lifters at 49k miles. Lucky for me the warranty hadn't run out yet. Everyone is telling me to tuck tail and sprint away from this truck the second it is out of the shop. Should I be genuinely worried about the rest of the engine going to crap, or...

    Motor sounds/runs awful after cam

    Yesterday I finished my cam/lifter job, and the motor sounded awful, all sorts of ticking and a ton of shaking. Even after a tune it wont idle much. Also to note I had a p0108 and the red lightning bolt symbol was flashing like crazy, which I believe is the throttle body. I believed it to be a...

    2012 5.7 Engine Failure

    Howdy, y'all. A year into owning my 2012 1500, 5.7 Hemi and the engine crapped out. I'm suspecting it's cam and lifter failure. Cylinder 3 misfire after replacing all spark plugs. Technician found gunk (oil and carbon I suspect) built up on one side of cylinder 3 and a 120 psi pressure. He got...

    Anyone running Vararam-cam kit-shorties?

    New guy here. My 2011 Outdoorsman 5.7 is in the shop right now with a potential valvetrain failure. P0300 and #5 is zero compression, apparently. If that's the case, I'm contemplating MDS delete cam kit with shorty headers and a Vararam intake. Is anyone running that combination?
