Hemi 5.7
Hi all. i have a 2006 Dodge Ram Hemi 5.7. Recently replaed the lifters, cam, etc. Ran great for a month. Started getting the same symptoms. Shuddering, rough idle. Code came back as a P1411. Did an oil change, cleared the code. Then got a cylinder 1 misfire. Sparks and Coil are new. Replaced the fuel injector. Code went away but still running like garbage. Check engine light comes on and flashes at high rpms and then goes away. Not getting a code now. Any ideas on where to go from here? Thanks for any help. Im at a loss.

Pull valve covers and look for a broken spring.

Did you replace the lifters and cam with MDS or did you replace them with regular cam? What is your fuel pressure? Did you follow the proper procedure for setting your timing to TDC?

Suprised to see a bad cam/lifters on a older ram not common. Did you check compression on the cylinder that is missfiring? Also make sure you clicked the pushrod in all the way common thing to happen when installing.

This was most likely an MDS delete.
