    Is this the hemi tick or normal?

    This is a 2022 Ram 2500 6.4l. Is this the hemi tick or just normal engine noise? I didn’t even notice it, but my wife brought it to my attention. Cold start, phone on front left tire: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pTSHh3qpbbLcDMuIisEt7Tifb4LMClrT/view?usp=drivesdk Video from engine bay...

    I am having lifter/cam issues on my 2014 RAM 5.7. Been through the diagnozing to exclude exhaust manifolds. Planning to do the MDS delete (hellcat lifters) and billet cam when replacing parts.

    Lifters?

    Hi All, So I recently bought this 2017 Ram 1500, and I didn't notice it had a tick. Its only there when the engine is somewhat cold. I did find at least one broken manifold bolt on the passenger side, so it might only be the exhaust leak. However, I notice the exhaust leak on cold starts and...

    05 2500 No Start - Where to look

    Picked up a new to me 05 2500 5.7 for dirt cheap, lots of work ahead but overall solid. Picked this up last week from a guy who had someone attempt and steal it, messed up ignition then cut the cats, as far as I can tell that's the most of it. Now the sadness, I've been unable to get the starter...

    2009 TRX4 4x4 not working.

    I just recently bought a 2009 Ram TRX4 with the 5.7 hemi. It seems like a great truck but I got it real cheap and it has a few issues. First issue is the 4x4 doesn’t work. Previous owner installed a new switch in the dash but it doesn’t do anything. No click or sound just dead it seems...

    All gears act like Neutral - Transmission

    Was doing some donuts and all of a sudden truck just rolled. Turned it off and later came back to it. Starts right up, but Drive, Reverse, and low gears all act as neutral. Transmission oil looks fine and no clunking noise. Any thoughts? Truck is a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd Hemi. Torque converter...

    Trans/ torque converter issue

    Hey, yall, done a lot of research and really can’t find an answer or solution to what’s going on. What’s happening: torque converter repeatedly unlocks, then locks again, doesn’t matter the speed, trans temp, or outside temp. Trans will also downshift randomly, while driving steadily (almost...

    2009 Ram 1500 5.7 MDS - weird #5 misfire problem

    I have a weird thing happening at 135K miles, with a clean well-maintained, original-owner 2009 Ram 1500 Hemi MDS. It’s actually two things that are probably related: After a cold start, it runs fine. I drive about 1 minute and if/when it kicks into eco/MDS mode, it runs poorly (95% sure due...

    MDS Delete SOLVED

    Just wanted to share this, pulled the trigger and had my ECU tuned to delete the MDS from functioning. Super simple, mailed my PCM out and he mailed it back with no more MDS!!! The guy said if sending in my current PCM wasn't an option, that sourcing a used one could work too. Can't believe I...

    Loud knock

    I have a 5.7 hemi with 110000 miles and I recently got a bad tick/knock. The last owner had the truck taken in for a snapped valve spring, and I think another one snapped. I’m not sure, could it be lifters? Sounds like it’s coming from the heads with the stethoscope. Also is it safe to drive on...

    Strange Engine Noise

    I know there are plenty of threads out there already on engine noises for the 5.7 Hemi. Just needing a place to start, took it to dealership a week ago when this started. They told me it was Camshaft and lifters but they did not tear into it. I didn’t believe them as there is no engine codes or...
