Hemi Tick, Causes

[R/T_Fire]

Not jumping to conclusions, just doing homework as to potential issues to decide what I will do, once I start finding things out and get into taking parts off and testing them. I come from a engineering back ground, until I test something that is a issue or potential cause it tends to stick with me.. just making a game plan of attack. if its not the plugs or coils or injectors then it will go to the dealer and try to get them to cover the warranty, I have 0 trust in dealers even if they are good and treated me good so I try to educate myself to everything before I decide on dealing with them.

As for the MSD units, I'm planning on those anyway if they are compatible with our trucks without the 6A box.. so if the coil is bad I'll buy a set of those instead of a OEM replacement.. just planning ahead.

Looks like its a lifter and goes into the dealer tomorrow for warranty repair. All the coils tested perfect, and plugs looked perfect. Hopefully I have no surprises...

Out of all the vehicles I have owned this is the first one I have used the warranty to have drive train repair...

Great that you have the warranty. That will change in 2016. FCA is bringing their power train warranties "in line" with other manufacturers; 5 Yr / 60,000 miles.

Only got 16k left of it and it only covers Lubricated parts... so I have 16k to work out the bugs or decide if this is one of them red headed step children vehicles and go find another. Decisions decisions

Cool. At least it won't cost you anything. Let us know what they find.

I got misfire codes with a defunk tb for some reason.
coil pack or loose tb wIre?

Its at the dealer, all the electrical tested good, they are tearing the head up as of sat afternoon so they hear what I heard. So I should find out more today what the issue is. hopefully I'm not surprised by a none warranty repair.

If they are removing the head, anything in there should be covered under powertrain warranty.

I am going to take a wag at it being a failed valve seat.

I kinda thought similar but also figured the compression test would have ruled out a bad seal. Compression was good. I'm leaning more towards lifter failure... it sound bad. worse than when it first happened, when I loaded it from the trailer you could hear valve train noise even over my loud exhaust... I should find out later today.
