    tick, yep, again, another

    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...

    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...

    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...

    2900km in and starting to hate my Rebel

    2900 km I had my 2022 Ram Rebel for 2 months and have been to the dealer for 8 times for service. Never had that feeling of excitement like owning a brand truck. Well, maybe first few days then I start discovering issues. Like squeaking and creaking coming from the suspension. Rattling in the...

    Engine tick question

    So I know this has been discussed a ton, however most people describe the tick as only appearing when cold and getting quieter as the truck warms up. Mine is the exact opposite. It’s quiet and sounds very smooth when cold but as it warms up and the oil temp rises it starts ticking/tapping very...

    Hemi Tick

    Hi All, I have a 2010 Ram 1500 5.7. I already blew up the first engine somewhere around 230,000. Replaced it with an engine from a 2013 i believe and it only had 66,000km, also got brand new OEM headers. Now my truck is at about 263,000 and Ive got the infamous hemi tick again. The cost to fix...

    from UP Pennzoil to Mobile1 Advanced

    Before summer, I changed my oil using Ultra Platinum Pennzoil 5w-20, mostly based on the poll here that had the UP with the most votes, but has Redline with a checkmark, not sure why. Anyway, about once or twice a week I heard an engine tick on start up that only lasted about 3 or 4 seconds. I...

    How to Determine if You Have 'Lifter Chatter' or 'Exhaust Leak'

    Problem Statement · You have engine chatter at startup and you need to determine if the chatter is either ‘Lifter Noise’ or an “Exhaust Manifold Leak’; · Both noises sound very similar and both will quieten down after the engine warms up, which makes it difficult to diagnose which issue you...

    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!

    2014 5.7L Knock/Tick/Tap?

    I have a 2014 Ram Laramie Limited with the 5.7L Hemi with 145k on the truck. Today, out of the blue, it started ticking/tapping/knocking (not sure how to describe it). Here is what I have diagnosed so far; 1. The noise matches engine speed 2. Same sound/volume in drive, neutral or reverse 3...

    HEMI tick...?

    Well the time has come, I need to repair/replace my exhaust manifold bolts/gaskets. Do any of you have recommendations as to where I can get a set of OEM set of bolts and gaskets for both sides? Appreciate tour time.

    Anyone put Fox 2.0 shocks 983-02-020 (diesel) on a gas truck?

    Anyone put Fox 2.0 coil over shocks 983-02-020 (diesel) on a gas truck? I'd assume you get more of a lift since the diesel motor weights more? How was the ride? Thanks

    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    I'm well-aware that the 5.7L HEMI has a fairly common issue surrounding the exhaust manifold bolts, causing the "HEMI tick". About 10 days ago, I noticed my truck had a tapping noise when cold-started. I assumed that this was the infamous HEMI tick and honestly didn't give it much thought. It...

    Engine ticking

    My 03 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ the 4.7L engine has developed a tick on the passenger side . Seems to be coming from the valve cover. Lifter/lash adjusters? Tell me what you think. This truck has been babied since purchasing in 03. Oil changes every 3k, maintenance, tune ups..etc..The tick developed...

    Search for a replacement camshaft and valve lifters

    What do you guys think about ENGINETECH or MELLING camshaft and lifters? Are these durable? Seems I might need a cam sooner or later and I won't go for performance cam in the $800 range. I would prefer non MDS cam and Hellcat non MDS lifters. Also, the camshaft bearings don't need to be changed...

    Broken Manifold Bolts? [VIDEO]

    OK, I've done some reading and from what I've read, I think my problem is a broken manifold bolt(s). (Which is different from the Hemi tick correct?) Here's a video at startup, if you listen carefully the ticking gradually decreases as it heats up. Should I expect a broken manifold bolt? My...
