Last month I drove my 2013 Dodge Ram 5.7 down to the mud hole to pull my sons Dodge Rebel out. After I did I decided to give the mud hole a try and shattered my #piston and locked the motor up no big deal!
I got my truck back to the house and tore into the motor which had 130k and took the mouth buying parts online and got the motor back in. I did a total rebuild and It cranked right up but was missing on the #8 piston. WTH I fixed that and it was blowing white smoke.
I tore back into the top in and pulled the heads again and found the head gaskets li bought cheap where for an earlier model so I replaced them new again. I also found that the #8 intake valve was slightly bent which I totally missed the first time. I replaced the valves including changing all valve seals and lapping them.
I put the top of engine back together and it cracks and tries to start but no go. It’s throwing codes P0113 and P0108. I replaced the Air sensors IAT and MAP and still no go. I don’t under stand because it started and ran and even moved it in the driveway under cover to work on! The only thing different is I replaced all the top seals again including Head Gaskets and now it won’t start
I also totally replaced the TIPM with a new one because I saw some corrosion on the old one. And the plugs have about 10k on them and look good. It’s cranking STRONG and tries to sputter but no Bueno!
