3.6 liter Pentastar
I replaced the oil cooler with an aftermarket part on my 2016 Ram 1500 after finding a pool of oil around it causing a leak. After getting it up and running great, the new part failed at 70 mph and I lost oil pressure immediately. Went back in and replaced it with an OEM cooler from the dealer, but found some glitter in the oil filter. Drained that and put fresh oil in, tried to start it and receive codes

Replaced the cam positioning sensors (both), but it still won’t start up.

What should I do next? I found a 2020 Pentastar with tranny for $3,500. Can I fix mine or is a replacement now the only option?
