    I have a 2017 ram, rebuilt motor with an el chapo cam. Needless to say after the base tuning was finally “completed” she will start but doesn’t keep running, found out she was flooding the plugs. I am not a mechanical genius by any means, and I only assisted on the rebuild. What should I do...

    Ticking, badly, history: 2003 1500 5.7 bought new Tcked lightly from new. Forever, almost.....Never an issue. At some point, exhaust manifold hardware was replaced with custom stainless parts. They thereafter remained attached and so did the tin. (I STILL NEED TO VERIFY NOT THE ISSUE but the...

    TSP Lifters? I had a TSP kit installed in my Ram stage 1, and it’s noisy up top. Any thoughts?

    Had a kit for stage 1 to install in my 2011 RAM by a shop out of Dallas called HPP racing. They didn’t use the mopar lifters, just the ones the came in the kit. I asked Rick at tapped performance look at it and make sure it’s in good runner order and if so to get me a tune because HPP did a bad...

    2012 Ram (1500 5.7 with MDS, 107k miles) Crank, Cam, and other questions

    Hello, hopefully this post has enough info to answer a few questions I have. Background; the vehicle is new to me and had a severe 'tick' when purchased (single tick at engine speed, same tune at all temps and all rpm ranges). Figured I might get away with just a simple exhaust manifold bolt...

    GM DFM and AFM lifter failure - class action lawsuit

    This needs to hapen ASAP to RAM and the other Stelantis brands that use HEMI engines in their vehicles so that this endless debate over what causes lifter failure and what kind of lube to use to mitigate it ends. It's a manufacturer issue on the supplier side and possibly incorect assembly of...

    Cam Failure Poll

    Tons of speculation out there, this is just an attempt to get some numbers. Please only vote yes if your 5.7 suffered confirmed cam failure not just some other ticking sound. Let's make some data happen!

    Which Cam and Lifters Did You put in Your 5.7?

    I need to do a top-end rebuild soon and I would like to get your feedback on what cam/lifters you chose to rebuild the top-end of your 5.7L? Please list; 1. What you used? (i.e. Comp Cam *** with OEM Delphi lifters) 2. Did you keep MDS? why or why not? 3. Where you bought it? 4. Why you chose it?

    2015 ram 2500 6.4 lifters!!

    So my truck has been at the dealership for 2 1/2 months waiting on OEM lifters but they said there are 11,000 back orders!!!! WTF this should be a recall if that many engines need lifters!! They also had to put a new cam in the engine at only 112k miles so that seems odd too me. My after market...

    Camshaft swap in Ottawa?

    Anybody from the Ottawa Ontario region know of a good mechanic/garage I can take my 2014 Ram to for a camshaft swap and how much it might cost? I was thinking about getting one from Moe's but it's not something I'm comfortable with doing myself.
