6.4 MDS delete and cam question

[Craig Muszynski]

Hey everyone. My 2014 power wagon just suffered number one lifter failure at 104000 miles and took out the cam. Is it possible to use the stock 6.4 cam if I delete MDS lifters? I've read conflicting info on needing a non MDS cam

Anyone have any ideas on this? I've spent hours searching and seem to find yes and no answers. Thanks!

Sorry to hear. I would think, yes you can since MDS can be turned off without changing the cam.

Ask these guys. Don't know if they can speak on the 6.4 truck version, but they are among the most knowledgeable when talking about the modern hemis.

i had planned to do this back when I was rebuilding a hemi due to a failed cam and lifter combo....and the answer i got from my tuner was it doesnt work well with how the heads flow on the 5.7

I think the 6 speed manual 6.4 cars don't have MDS ,not sure if their cam would be a great truck cam,but might be worth looking into.

You shouldn't have an issue with deleting MDS on the stock cam, but it will require a tune for it. Half the lifters in the truck are already non-MDS lifters to begin with and if it were me I'd probably get a custom grind cam with all new lifters, springs, retainers, etc to freshen it all up and get some power. There are a few places you can get the cam, lifters, springs, push rods, etc as a package deal. Either way you'll need a tune so might as well go for more power.

I see you are in Mass. Contact Jimmy at True Street Performance in Long Island. He'll get you straight.
