His verbiage sort of implies that they are for non mds. At least that is the way I read it.
I looked at them too, and they did not specifically state MDS vs: Non-MDS. The "vehicle that it fits" list just said stuff like "Ram 2014-2024 1500 5.7". They didn't quallify "engine modified for NON-MDS" or something like that, that I saw. All those came as MDS.

Unless the manufacturer states or verifies something, I won't "assume" it as true. I suppose a quick note to them would clear it up.

YUP! That would solve the mystery.

Guess you guys didn't read the bottom ....LoL

Also, if you are building a stock 5.7 truck motor on a stock cam and stock lifters, all reused-used parts. For god's sake, please leave this page.

I measured the lifters, and non-MDS measure .728 flat-to-flat. MDS lifters measure .768 flat-to-flat.

Would be simpler just to say "Not for MDS lifters", but instead he comes off like a d-i-c-k with the wording on the site. JMO, your opinion(s) may vary.

Also, racing part, no implied engine warranty. What if their part somehow causes a failure?

Well if you going to do a stock build stick with OEM Mopar......was just showing the billet option opposed to polymer......would be crazy to pay that much for lifter trays on a stock build anyway.
This would be for the performance/racing builds.

Which is what he said.

Not too crazy, though. Just look at the prices for OEM stuff. An extra $200 when you've already spent 4 to 5k really isn't that much more, all things considered.

They do look great.
