2015 Ram MDS Delete

[CORam15]

Hello everyone, I feel I unfortunately reached the point with the 5.7 Hemi that I either have to replace the lifters (cylinder 1 misfire with a heavy tick) or sell the truck. I have done a little bit of research on MDS Delete kits by BTR and AMS racing. However, I honestly don't know enough about engines to know which to get. I am truthfully trying to buy one that someone else can help me install to save some change on the labor costs. Seeing as this is a common problem with these engines, I am hopeful this is the proper area to ask for assistance deciding what to get. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Just for reference:
-I already changed the plugs, coil pack, and fuel injector.
-The code does not populate until higher RPMs and there is a heavy popping in the exhaust at 1400 RPM in certain gears.
-I am not trying to tune the truck after the install has been dune, but if absolutely necessary I have someone that can help with it as well.
-I don't need any exponential increase in power. Nor do I need to chop of the "Truck Norris" setup.

If you do an MDS delete, you will indeed need an unlocked PCM/ECM and a tuner to turn the MDS system off in the PCM/ECM permanently.
That will add considerable $$$$ to the repair costs.

To keep costs down, I would stay with the MDS and if you want to disable for any reason, just do it with the gear select buttons on the wheel when needed.

Your truck and your money, so it's your call.
