I just do cam/lifters job this week... first of all, you got to switch from 5W20 to 5W30 or, me i use 5W40. Second, i never get any codes, but, what i saw when doing the job, is that the MDS solenoids have little magnet under them, you must remove them and clean them. I put cam and 16 lifters and start it, run fine until i hit the road! Restart to thick after, what i think, it turn on "eco" and after it come thicking again... So even whitout any MDS codes, i remove 4 MDS solenoids and clean 4 magnets under and restart the truck....RUN LIKE A KITTEN!! Hope i give little help!😉
It’s honestly very simple on the 2009+ hemi. What did they change? They added the VVT and they raised the camshaft higher now by raising the camshaft higher when the car is idling, the cam is not getting lubed up. That’s why you see failure on vehicles with high idling time. Now when the car is moving, the crank is spinning faster applying enough, oil, splash to the camshaft. That’s number one failure. Number two failure is the angle of the lifters. It has nothing to do with oil pressure. There’s no way to fix this. It’s just a stupid flaw on the engineering’s part.
I just had a failed lifter (cylinder #3) and I have 307K on the motor - original owner. It's at the dealer now - lifetime Maxcare Warranty, but they'll buy me out of the contract on this one as the value of the repair will likely exceed the value of the vehicle. Waiting to see.
Mine doesn’t make any tick noise. Idles perfect. I can rev it. But if I hold it above 3k for 10 seconds it’ll start to misfire. What was the early symptoms of yours?
SOLID JOB!!! I was told to use Lucas Syn in place of one quart by a engine builder here in San Diego. I change my oil every 4K or yearly whichever is less using Mobile1 syn. At this time I only put 1800 miles working from home but still change it. 43K miles on my late model 2014 1500. I have the broken Manifold bolt already. I also try to not let it idle too long.. Hoping I got a later 2014 with the better parts. Tempted to do the cams and lifters soon anyways as preventive maint. That way I do not have to deal with shavings. Thanks again for the info and I will start using the 10w30 over the 10-20... rather have better protection from the oil.
My 17 ram 1500 recently had cam and lifter failure sucks for me out of warranty. Changed my oil regularly before recommend intervals. Royal Purple oil. Crazy I have an 05 Magnum RT With 267,000 miles with no issue. Very worried I might need a new engine. Have not gotten to the VVT Solonoid yet. Informative video
@@vinny3639got a tick. Ran immaculately in until a month ago, started to get a little sluggish. Was about to do a tranny flush and filter change, which I’ll still have to do and I started getting the ping, wouldn’t call it a tick. I’m a week into the ping starting and I’m benching it until mid November to take it in, full expecting can and lifter. 70k miles in Canada. 5-7k km oil changes… by dealership and on top of all maintenance. After warrentee and service package ended I did my first oil change on it and I was able to remove the filter by hand, loose intake horn. Cabin filter whistle was because they never snapped the cover back in place. Just changed the rear differential fluid and it was half empty. Fuck dealerships. Just paid the truck off too
The root cause for the majority is the cast iron camshaft with poor induction hardened shell. Will eventually occur to all of these bumpsticks. Check my latest short... ALL lifters were perfectly functional, 115k miles
Yeah the camshafts are definitely way too soft. You can see the peeling so to speak on the other lobes even though the lifters havent come apart. Its not helping anything.
NEED HELP My FRIEND (not me) just did lifters and cam change on his 2018 (392) charger by the dealer, payed over $6,500, has 52K milles,, changes Amsoil every 3-3.5 K miles religiously and the car is making same noise (not as loud) again. What to do ?
Great, well spoken and honest video. My 2014 has a collapsed lifter in cylinder 6. I unavoidably drove 124 miles on it after noticing the distinct loud ticking. Is it necessary to pay the price to investigate if there is further damage, or are my chances pretty good that its just a lifter. I had no previous engine issues before this and my Ram has 170,000 miles on it.
Very likely its gonna have cam damage unfortunately. If oil pressure is still perfect i wouldnt hesitate to put cam and lifters in it and get another 120+k out of it. Replace the timing guide, chain, and tensioner at that mileage though.
I have a 2015, drive it really easy, lately going up hill while pulling a small trailer I heard a rattling noise during acceleration, mechanic told me possibly timing chain guides are worn. Then 2 weeks later I’m getting a shake and vibration when accelerating up a hill or just giving it more throttle and when I let off the throttle, it stops shaking, scanner says p0305 and p0304, misfires I think. So is all this because my cam is going out? 187,000 miles.
Good video.. im at 160k, 2013 ram. Still runnin decent, just a noisy engine. Is the failed lifter something that happens over time? Like noise getting louder and louder of 10-40k? Is there warning signs? Or can you expect a misfire code to pop up shortly after and kind of rely on that ? Hard to know what is normal. Mine sounds really bad next to buildings at idle. Possible its exhaust manifold, i know its similar. Do you have a video that shows how to diagnose? Could you post a video comparing normal/bad lifter ?
I bought a 2011 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman, 2WD, short bed, single cab, about 14 months ago. It now has about 115K miles on it and seems to be running great. I change the oil and filter every 3K and only use full synthetic oil and Mopar oil filters. My question is this: Do I wait for lifter failure or should I be proactive and get a cam/lifter job before anything fails? I like my truck, and I don’t want unnecessary damage to occur. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
I mean thats a question of budget. Being a 2011 its probably never been done at that mileage but is probably at any time gonna fail. The 2011s were alot more susceptable due to the shitty manufacturer of the lifters those years. If you can front it, get it done. Doesnt hurt anything. With the new stuff no doubt youll get another 150-200k out of it with good oil changes every 5k miles.
I recently bought a 2017 dodge ram 1500 bighorn 4x4 with a V6 VVT engine. This was my first pickup purchase(had to get out of a 2017 ford Taurus that had a ton of issues underneath that I couldn’t afford to fix) Was the truck with the V6 engine a good choice? What should I be aware of with this engine. Good and Bad.
It just turned 290000 Kilometers my On my 2014 dodgers sport have never touched the motor I do oil changes every 5000 K cylinder 3 is acting up lol Everybody says it's just a ring I try to explain to them it is the Cam and lifters .I'm looking at buying a brand new motor with a hellcat Cam hydraulic lifters and oil pump.$5800 hundred I'm in Canada 🇨🇦
Hey what lifters do you think I should use on my 2010 5/7 hemi 1500 pickup. Can't get it to you because I already tore the engine down. Just want to get it right before putting it back together
2011 5.7 had my lifter seize and wipe my cam. Got it all replaced. Question is will this happen again or do they have a better supply now. Got it replaced 2019.
Preface: I still change my oil every ~6,000 miles or 6 months, BUT... I've had over 100 used oil analyses done at Blackstone Labs, and your claim that engine oil "breaks down" and gets diluted by fuel, etc is just plain conjecture without any evidence. The fact of the matter is that many of my UOA's were done on oils with upwards of - and sometimes more than - 10k miles, and Blackstone's labs never once found reason to label the oil as "end of life" or beyond. This includes testing for remaining additive package, lubricating properties, break-down properties, contamination, etc. So while, yes, more frequent oil changes are "cheap insurance", the fact of the matter is that modern engine oils being used by modern engines remain effective well into the 10k mile range (barring any severe use, etc).
Where in central Texas is your shop located, recently purchased a 2019 ram 1500 classic 5.7 and would like a good knowledgeable person for future repairs fingers crossed lol i try to do frequent oil changes but good contact info of your shop would be nice to have 👍 thanks in advanced
I have 2012 Ram 1500. Will not accelerate without shaking badly. Dodge mechanic is saying PCM is showing an open and he wants to replace it. A previous small mechanic told me that compression on Cylinder 3 is only 65. Could a bad PCM be causing low compression?
You said $2000.00 less than the dealer, but what is the estimated for the total, I’m looking to buy a2014 with engine rough sounding and a loud ticking on the left bank. 167000 miles
What about the 09 3/4 tons with the 5.7? Was told the 09 Power Wagon / 2500 5.7 was same engine as a 08. Is that true? Asking because my 09 PW has a hard miss under full acceleration only. Thanks
Hi I have a 2013 ram 5.7 v8. Hemi About 70, 000 miles starting getting a tick. Now at 93,000 it's still there , at idle it stopes when warm , then you hear it when you press the Gas . Is a broken manifold bolt or worse ?
Great video man. Do you have a opinion on 5w20 oil vs 5w30? Everyone on the forums seem to be split about it and just wanna run the best oil I can in my 2012, only has 51k miles
I got myself the 07 dodge Ram 5.7L with 250k on it and it’s starting to get pretty bad. It’s time for me to do this fix, my mechanic is looking at it today but he doesn’t wanna do it cause it’s a big job! Would ordering a racing cam work? Should I do an MDS delete? Any advice ? On what to expect other than paying out my ass!
I’ve seen many people do this with absolutely no problems. They “recommend” 0w20 because it helps that fuel mileage rating, it may by one mpg, but not much at all. But they don’t change anything in the motor to withstand the thing oil. 5w30 is what they really should recommend. If I had one of these trucks I would run 5w30 full synthetic. And change every 3-5k miles.
Just started getting the ticking noise passenger side and i noticed my rpm needle twitching at idle when cold start after it warms up the needle don't twitch anymore and the ticking noise isn't really noticeable so my question is this a lifter or broken manifold bolts or both problems? I don't want to start buying parts and not need them
At some point they would likely all fail. You have to take into account the trucks that dont get driven alot and then ones that are maintained well vs not. Its a part quality issue. So if all the trucks were driven 200+k miles then they would all likely fail at some point. But not everyone puts that kind of mileage on them.
I don't want to shit on the creator here, as he seems like a super legit guy... but... his claim that lifter/cam failure isn't happening on '15+ hemis is completely false. It's happening just as much as the other gen iii hemi engines. These rollers and cams simply don't get enough oil to them. I'm inclined to think that although the parts (cams, rollers, lifters) may be sub-par; better oiling might help them to last far, far longer than they do. It's a bit of a chicken & egg argument, and I'm placing by bets on the lack of lubrication exacerbating the possibly sub-par parts problem.
They do fail but are not near as common. I said in my video the hemis have poor oiling to the lifters but part quality had a lot to do with it. Theres no denying that pushrod engines in general have shit design oiling system.
@@ashtonsser the addition of that oil tube straight through the center of the block sure doesn't help the Hemi, even compared to other pushrod v8s. Coupled with the lifter bores being outboard of the cam (not dripping on them), and the extra distance from the crank to the cam, and I think that's our answer as to why the parts fail; whether sub-par or not.
I mean thats about average ezpecially when following the 10k mile oil change intervals that the factory wants. Use 5w30 synthetic and change evety 6k and they will go over 200k all day long.

The overall conclusion is that chrysler is outsourcing with poor quality metal
Where in Texas area you located?
Ft Cavazos, killeen area,
So what do you think the actual failure rate is?
At some point they would likely all fail. You have to take into account the trucks that dont get driven alot and then ones that are maintained well vs not. Its a part quality issue. So if all the trucks were driven 200+k miles then they would all likely fail at some point. But not everyone puts that kind of mileage on them.
I'm in SC. Do you have a recommendation for anyone here?
Yeah don't mess with hemis
Would you recommend a preventative update? Just go ahead and do the cams before it fails?
It wouldnt hurt if you have the money to spare. It would prevent metal from going into the motor when the failure occurs.
cool
