Can anyone give me information on a factory problems with lifters, and cams on 5.7 Hemi's. Is it true they have a Class action suit against Chrysler. There is a design problem on the lifters and Cam not getting Any oil. I saw this on a YouTube Article Which makes a lot of sense! Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2017 and 2019 5.7 Looking forward to some comments.

Pretty sure the lifter issue was corrected just before the 2017 model year.

If you search through the forum you will find countless threads about the lifter issues.

If there was a class action suit that would be huge news. If there was a fix in 2017 as the post after yours speculates, both would be the best kept secrets in the Ram/Hemi world. Sadly I think both are but wishful thinking at this point. (including by me)
