    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...
