fca fixed the issue in 2016 as far as i can tell, so since you have a 2016 you should be good to go.
So how exactly does that oil filter you mentioned fit ?, is there a mod that has to be performed or it just screws on?Record a cold start for us. These guys are amazing, and ya ever know. Use your phone then use the file upload utility.
Many pushrod, hydraulic lifter engines chatter if they sit for a couple days like at the dealer.
Yours with daily noise - gotta hear it to really help further.
Many find there engine to quiet down with a different oil, PUP is first class synthetic that us readily available, and off the shelf in many locales. Redline has quieted more 5.7Ls here than any other (a poll was used)
Use a larger then oe filter. Do a quick search here on filters and pick one that is supported by members, I use Royal Purple 20-820, touted by many to be the one, but others exist, Fram Ultra is outstanding and in inventories, WIX is also good. These are all a spun micro glass filter element.
I use the 20-820 filter because it has twice the capacity the oe filter. Guys here have dissected these and many others, there are vids showing what they found and why it matters, The filtrations have been tested as well.
WIX readily available also.. Pic of both with part numbers. Filters are obviously critical components for their filtrations but there is also valve works inside that are mandatory for our 6.4L (maybe others too),
Capacity difference is shown the WIX is the smaller oe size,
For when you just can't read any more about this sh and you gotta have something to hang onto, Blackstone Oil Analysis (BOA). Find them online, they will send you free of charge the collection kit shown in pic 3. I think it may even be postage paid back to them unless you overnight it.
Blackstone will run your oil sample thru a mass spectrometer and return to you a fairly detailed report about the contents of your oil,( microscopic not chunks). They report on the metal content, fuel, water etc in the oil. If you have elevated content of certain metal, then you know that area of the engine is experiencing heavier then normall wear. Bearings, cam shaft, cylinders, valves, rings, etc, different metals.
Do it Once and you have a snapshot of current wear, continue to sample for wear trends Over say three years, sending in a sample 1 to 3 times a year you will have solid knowledge and records of your engines condition. $25 per sample. Includes a summary on each analysis that interprets current results, it is most informative.
For an additional $10 they will further their analysis and include a measured, accurate 'remainder of life' (tbn) on your sample followed with an oci recommendation.
They keep my wagon around 7500 miles, and my wife's 5.7L Hemi oci is 12,500 miles. (That's a 2015 5.7L Hemi w over 100k mi that is remote started and idled near daily in the winter, extremely low wear, better then a 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4 bang, oci 10k mi). Blackstone is The ****
Instructions come with the sample kits.
Keep an eye on your oil level, the BGE uses oil on a regular basis, The cooling system sprays oil on the cylinder walls at certain intervals during the 4 stroke cycle,.
Mine willl use 1/2 to 3/4 qt in 5000 miles ish.
Just know oil mileage is normal for the truck engine. I will hear light chatter half a quart low. And a quart low (only once) it's getting louder and I'm thinking wtf, top it off with RL5w40, sound of music.
Blue Moon. I won't drink 3 and then post about things I seem overly passionate about. At least for awhile lol

Apologies, I missed your post. No modification necessary, it just screws on. Looking at the location with the larger filter Installed, there is good space and it looks like an intended fit. I think the OE filter is just really small.
Let em know you can save them the trouble of contacting FCA engineers and can tell them what more they need to do to even have a chance, samething you told em last time. And furthermore if they choose not change the bump stick again, more than likely the next time they see the truck its going to need a entire new engine due to cam/lifter shrapnel trashing the bearings. I'd imagine that's probably what would happen next.Update... So, I began this post back on 2/26. I had 46,000 miles and they replaced all of my lifters in my 6.4. I had deep reservations about them not replacing my cam. Called Chrysler customer service to try to get some info on how a cam would be ok in this situation. I couldn’t get anywhere with them. I told them that I’m sure I will be having this happen again sooner or later. They simply replaced all the lifters. Well, I have 56,000 miles on my truck now and my truck is back in the shop again for noisy lifters. That is just 10k later. I don’t, yet, have details but was sent this message from the dealer. Looks like we are going through lifters again?
