    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?

    Cam swap tips

    Hey first post here. This isn't going to be very well written. I just did a cam swap on my 2015 ram and figured I'd post how I got the oil pickup tube bolt back in without dropping the pan. Hopefully this will save someone else a headache. I didn't take pictures or a video cause I didn't wanna...
