Hello All,
I have a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7 Bighorn(198,091miles) and I have been noticing a light tick and now louder tick on idle/acceleration. The truck aIso has no real power and sputters when I give it gas. I have included the codes and sound below that where showing up before I did a compression test which was recommended by a autoshop who was gonna charge me $450 to look at and I didn't want to pay. Anyways the compression test showed theses numbers.
Cylinders (1)- 210 psi, (3)- 215 psi, (5)- 258 psi, (7)- 210 psi
Cylinders (2)- 210 psi, (4)- 206 psi, (6)- 206 psi, (8)- 210 psi
-I noticed that when I pulled the spark plug wrench out of Cylinder 5 it was covered in clean oil as was the threads on the plug.
-Cylinder 7 Had a little bit of black oil sludge on the plug more at the wrench hex in the middle of the plug.
I am looking for any suggestions as to what may be going on. I can Should I do a leak down test?
Here is link for how it sounds before i tested compression.
