2014 1500 6.4 cam and lifter swap.

[neilduncan]

I have a 2014 1500 with a 5.7 that has developed the hemi tick. So wanted to do a little upgrading while fixing. So I have got a cam from a 2018 6.4 srt. And ordered the high lift springs and hellcat lifters. I know I’m going to need a tune. So does anyone have any suggestions on where I can send computer to get a tune and do you have any more suggestions on what else to do while it’s apart. Was wanting to put on a 6.4 intake but can’t find a used one worth the money so if you have one let me know.

Are you sure it’s not your exhaust manifold bolts ?

 

[neilduncan]

Yes. Lifter for sure went bad. Want to add a little power anyways.

Well that sucks. How many miles on her and what did you run for oil , and change intervals? I also have a 14 so trying to absorb all that I can . Let us know how it comes together.

it has 262,000 miles. no leaks and uses no oil. got it apart yesterday lifter was out and cam ground pretty bad. I am wondering if i can run 6.4 springs on these heads with the 6.4 cam?

Quarter million miles? Now I don't feel so bad.
Mine is '14 too with 104k miles. Mine has a pretty noticeable tick but I know it is the exhaust manifolds need to be done.

I am literally in the same boat right now. What did you figure out?
