They dont fix it because it's cheaper to fix failure than r&d for new parts when there are bigger fish to fry. This is called running a business 101. Not to mention they are far from the only brand that has cam failure issues. Every engine made that had any sort of active fuel management has this issue. Every brand has its issues and anyone who thinks one is superior to another now days is a fool. Hell kia is probably the best car on the market now but 10 years ago you couldn't give me oneYou guys are all full of ship it. I don't say that this respectfully group but how many of you on her know that Chrysler Dodge knows that their engines are messed up the litters are getting jacked up and destroying the camshaft? You considered this a good truck when it company knows about it and continues to make the same part and use it knowing damwell that this is a problem and they refuse to address it
the boy is an idiot !!!!Seems kind of harsh when all he finds wrong are hood struts and a starter. This guy has 2.5m subscribers!
to RamForum. Looking forward to seeing your Ram truck. Great group of friendly owners.You guys are all full of ship it.

First post here Ha, And I thought my typing was bad, and you are full of it.You guys are all full of ship it.

What is ship it?? Your spelling and punctuation is awful. Chrysler does have a few problems yes....... BUT so does Ford. Just for kicks I joined a Ford site just to see what I would find. Same type of complaints about engines and trannys and Dealerships you see about Chrysler. I love my Ram truck and don't KID yourself other manufactures have their problems too.You guys are all full of ship it.

The fords with the 5.4L engine have issues with the timing chain guides going bad, some fairly early. All depends on maintenance. this goes across several gens of f150, same engine. Ford never addressed it either. As others have said all brands have possible defects, and all failures will have diff. factors involved.
Good question, I’d like to know this as well.I would be happy if the only problem over the next 100K was a hood strut failure. SO far so good over 37K on my 5.7 1500. The discussion of the cam failure issue has me a little concerned. Some Porsches have a problem with IMS bearing failures which take the engine with them when they fail. Some of the risk can apparently be mitigated by frequent oil changes. I wonder of the same might apply to the Ram cam issue. Does anybody have a handle on why the cams are failing and what % of engines fail?
ford tech makuloco is the man. His videos have helped me fix my 2 ford Exploder's a few times. Provides actual help and isn't obnoxious like Scotty. In one video he explains how he is a Ford Tech and why he went with a Ram and not a Ford. Still, Doesn't bash on ford tho. Watch a scotty video and you'll come out more confused and may lose brain cells.
