Bought my 5.7 2005 Ram new. It's had the tick at least since 50,000 miles. Religious maintenance & up keep. Royal purple 5w20. Now @ 200,000 miles. Still ticks, but runs perfectly. I decided after looking around forums that it's just a Hemi trait. These engines tick and have ticked for years it seems.
Ok so I bought a brand new 2020 Ram Bighorn with the 5.7 Hemi without the booster. I've had it exactly 40 days today. It has 1,400 miles on it. Started it up today and started rapping like crazy. Went away after 30 seconds. Waited 2 hours and remote started it so I could video if it rapped again. It did! Now has to go in for an overnight at the dealer service dept so they can cold start it in morning. Either way, a sick feeling after spending a huge chunk of change. Warm and fuzzy new truck feeling gone, sick feeling setting in. Why should s brand new truck need to be fixed?
@@dsturbed2c So I talked with the service tech at the dealership. He said it was a normal phenomenon with the Hemi. I asked, so what will you do after I leave the truck overnight? He said he would listen to the tick but there was really no fix, and really nothing they could do. it's nothing to worry about! Still not warm to the idea of a brand new truck having an engine noise, he explained about another guy that came in and insisted they fix his brand new truck for the same reason. So they tore the motor down, replaced cam, rockets, and lifters under warranty of course. The guy took the truck back home and a few days later experienced the same thing! Well, at that point I decided I wasn't interested in having service mechanics tearing into my new motor so I said screw it and drove it home. The truck rides and drives beautifully and occasionally when I start it I still get that tick for a few seconds. But it is what it is I guess. I'll honestly say that it's the nicest truck bar none that I've had and I've had the EcoBoost F150 and the Sierra Denali with only 42,000 miles I traded for this truck. The power and transmission are awesome. That said, if the ticking worsens or I end up having an issue, I'll trade it and be done with it. The good part is that I got a Zero interest rate on it so as I pay it down, every cent is coming off the principle which should keep the depreciation valuation in line with what I owe. That will help in the event I have to dump it. But truthfully, I really love everything else about the truck. The floor storage, the room, the ride, like I said, it really is a great truck. As a side note, because I've seen videos of some people having rocker and cam issues, I've been keeping in mind a product called "motorkote". If you can, check out: "Project Farm" video on motorkote. Pretty amazing and maybe the answer for this engine. If you check it out, let me know your thought on it! Thanks
@@TheNewenglandboys the hemi will tick for a short while on cold start up, its the pushrods getting pressure and filling the lifter. its normal, my LS does it also. A 2020 is a good truck, get the extended warranty if your worried.
My 2012 2500 got the tick at about 160k miles. At 170k it threw a misfire on cylinder 7. Turned out to be the cam lobes worn past spec. New cam and lifters and its runs like a champ again. But yeah the tick is usually something with a lifter/cam issue.
I use Mobil one 5w-20 full synthetic and a quart of Lucas change it 3000 miles or even less and it still has the tick the engine has 91 thousand miles on it
I own a 2016 1500 with the 5.7L, 4 weeks ago, cool Florida day, I got the tick. Loud. Turned off the motor, checked the oil, high. Started the motor, watched my oil pressure gauge at nominal 50psi. Never falling below 40psi. Tick went away, until the next morning and pretty much every morning until I got to the dealer. They're Lead Mech comes out and said it was probably an exhaust leak because he didn't hear the tick. Left the truck, He heard the tick, got the call for permission to go ahead and tear down the motor because they are replacing the cam and lifters.
I have a 2003 1500 5.7 HEMI. Got it in 2013 with 103k. One month later The "tick" problem started. Had all the lifters replaced and the head resurfaced. $2,400. Ouch. Has run great since though.
I just rebuilt my 5.7 Hemi and got a bad lifter from the factory. Ticking after 500 miles. OEM lifters from Dodge made in Germany. Going to put in a set of Hellcat lifters instead. Regular production 5.7 lifters are junk and the pushrod angle makes me wonder why these valve trains don't wear out sooner. Bottom end however, looked brand-new at 130,000 miles, like it was just built. Not one single wear surface on any bearing
Yes sir. I also have issues with the lifters and rockers for the V6 too. Couldn't tell you how many mini vans I get. Cams are soft too so if they don't bring them in soon after it starts ticking the they get a new one.
Noticed nobody file safety complaint reports to the NHTSA. It just take 5 minutes. Its a ssfety issue due to lack of power. I have seen several videos about that.
My dad's 2004 Durango 5.7 finally blew up this morning. Started ticking at around 180,000 miles and he drove it like that for miles. Made it all the way to 230,000 and he started it this morning and it finally gave. He said the car shook hard and starting knocking loud and it smelled like gasoline. I would be willing to say it lost the valve seat. Either way about it these hemis are bad for ticking and it can be catastrophic if it doesn't get fixed.
Steven Martin MOTORKOTE! I bought a brand new 2005 Rumble Bee, 5.7. 34 miles on it when it left the dealer. Took it home, treated the engine with Motorkote Hyper Lubricant, and started running it hard. I kept it 3 years, and blew the doors off every Chevy & and Ford 4x4 that challenged me. When I sold it, it still ran like new. Keep oil changed with Mobil one synthetic, and every 50,000 miles treat all fluids with Motorkote, ( except brake fluid), and that Hemi will live on...
xlpaintplr1 Had a 2013 Crew Sport had 58,000 kms when I traded it was hearing alot of horror stories about the Hemi but had no issues with mine and didn't want to keep it to find out when warranty ran out. Traded up to a 18 High Country 6.2L
Anthony Macneil silverados are even worse with problems, the cylinder deactivation will burn oil and wear out the valve train and pistons on the side that deactivates. You were better off with the ram at least it was a hit or miss with the lifter/cam failures.
Should be more specific about the ticking noise, with what u have just shown ticking would probably be worse when racing the motor up, have a code, definitely wouldn’t go away once the motor warmed up
Lifters on my 2012 Jeep GC Hemi are bad too. 140k miles. Right bank for now, but i'm sure left side will go bad too. Shop wants $3k for both sides. Found an independent guy who will do it for $1600. Gonna try to trade it in first....
I got a 2012 ram 1500 I had a similar problem with mine but instead a rebuilding it I purchased a new 2017 engine from the dealership under my account got it for 5500 delivered is supposed to have the upgrades supposedly I guess time will tell🤔I’m also a mechanic I’m pulling a Val cover off at 10,000 miles and checking it I only currently have 6000 miles on the new engine Thanks for the video
So you can swap a 2016 or newer hemi in to a 2012? I have the same issue with my 2012 and i am looking to do exactly what you did. Did you have any issues with the swap?
i bought a 2018 ram 5.7 an on strarting it in the mornings i here a little ticking for bout 4 seconds, i thought it was a slow delay to getting oil up to the lifters, cause my 96 dodge ram 5.2 does the same thing an has 180k miles on it an it is still running strong...i replaced the oil pump on the 96 dodge an still did the same thing.
Good videos..Hey I have a 2006 ram 5.7 hemi......has a knock...starting truck early morning the truck has no knock for about 2 minutes...then you start to hear a knock until its fairly loud..seems like it's coming from bottom end....If I rev engine the knock disappears also when truck gets to full operating temp knock is gone..............so it starts and 2 minutes in starts nocking and once fully warmed up (10-15 min) knock is gone
damn, you know your shit. are the ticks in these cases only at start up, or are these more problematic ticks one that tick all the time. my 2012 tick lasts for only a few minutes at start up then goes away. thanks
nyinfamous2k2 sounds like an exhaust leak in your case. As the exhaust manifold heats up the gasket expands and covers the leak. Valvetrain ticks are persistent and don't tend to go away and in some cases get worse when the oil thins out as it gets hotter.
If it's a hydraulic lifter problem then I heard that an engine cleaner would probably help clean the lifters... I'm gonna try seafoam before my next oil change
Most don't have a problem at all. If they do this is this is normally what it is. Fact is, most automakers have made our vehicles exponetially more reliable though it doesn't seem like it. We drive alot more than we used to. I find 2-3 year old vehicles all over the place with over 100k miles on them with almost no problems. Hemis are great motors! I had an 02 Ford explorer once. Replace the head gaskets and I figured adjust the lifters, man it purred better than new. I really hated that thing but after that it was reliable. Chucked it a 300k and it still ran great! Have two hemis now. Really racking up miles, also cummins with a half a mil.. I'm not a mechanic but I do all my own work. Mostly when something fails it is because I neglected it. Manufacturers make plenty of mistakes but mostly it os operator error.
Got a work truck with a 5.7. 232,000miles. Has a low motor tick. Not exhaust. Probably a main. Done it for a while now. Pulls anything I put behind it. Sooner or later gonna have to roll new bearings in. Got a buddy, has 300k on his, same deal. I tell him he's got to check his mains for the last 100k. . Lucky bastard. I'm to nervous to just leave mine.
I've got a 2014 Challenger with a 5.7 and from about 1000 to 3000 RPMs it sounds like a sewing machine in the engine bay. I've been told by the dealer that it's the Hemi tick and there's nothing to be done. Should I pursue this further with them? I still have lots of warranty left.
thelonelydirector I currently have an issue that Mathew here is describing but also had the manifold tick where the bolts were broken, warranty fixed that. Now I'm having misfire issues and my warranty just expired :(
I've had the issue mentioned in this video cause a misfire, but you'd almost certainly notice an impaction sound coming from your valve train as well. If no tick then my next culprit would be coil packs. They seem to fail prematurely.
I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. It has the tick and when u accelerate I can only get to about 50-60 mph then when I put my foot down all the way the rpms go to 1k and dosnt go any faster. Also makes some very odd noises when it shifts.
Gunner16325 if it's related to the tick you might have a flat cam which is common and your valves can't open all the way. But an underpowered engine can be caused by a lot of things. Best thing to do is see if there are any codes in the pcm and check your fuel trim to see if it's running rich or lean.
i have a tick on a 2011 charger pursuit. owned it 3 months . ticks for the first 20 min of driving then goes away .not sure if im used to the car or it feels slow . no codes .just the tick
Some people say that it could be a broken off exaust manifold bolt, so basically an exaust leak. Might be worth just starting your car and looking into the engine bay and see if the sound is located down there.
GREAT information Mr. Lundberg! I have a 2012 causing missfire codes. You aren't by change in Phoenix Arizona or know of a trustworthy mechanic here by chance do you?
The most common reason for the disappearing tick is a warped exhaust manifold. Chances are if you track down the side that the tick is coming from, look at the bolts holding the exhaust manifold to the head and you'll see 1 or 2 bolt heads snapped off.
Cheap roller lifters that get stuck. Most you can do is use full synthetic oil and maybe find a zinc and phosphorus additive. Some oils are API SL (for vehicles 2004 and under) and have more zinc and phosphorus already. Modern oils have less of this in order to prolong cat converter life.
Riddle me this sir since you seem to get down on some hemis got 2 police cars 6.4l got a chirp noise coming from what sounds like the middle of the engine take the belt off sounds like a little bird still chirping away any ideas?
@@audiophiliac1221 well I appreciate your input and replying back but as it turns out I believe it to have been a roller on the lifter seized or lifter turned sideways got 250 psi of compression on the number 3 cylinder it stopped chirping but the exhaust valve does nothing
Wow 3years later here's the update it ended up being a failed lifter on both and many since that wiped out the cam lobe not letting the exhaust to escape the chirp was compression pushing past the valves
F7X1 I tend to agree with this logic. The oil doesn’t protect enough. 5W-30 synthetic only and a good filter and you likely will avoid the issue. Owned two 5.7L didn’t have an issue doing it that way. I also disabled MDS with tuner.

These motors ticked DECADES ago when they didn't have cylinder deactivation or variable valve timing.

The most common reason for the disappearing tick is a warped exhaust manifold. Chances are if you track down the side that the tick is coming from, look at the bolts holding the exhaust manifold to the head and you'll see 1 or 2 bolt heads snapped off.
How much the cost to fixed?
$$$$$$$
What do you think is causing these problems?
Cheap roller lifters that get stuck. Most you can do is use full synthetic oil and maybe find a zinc and phosphorus additive. Some oils are API SL (for vehicles 2004 and under) and have more zinc and phosphorus already. Modern oils have less of this in order to prolong cat converter life.

I'd rather have my old 360 V8. These new motors are total crap.
dumped a qt of Rislone in it and stopped ...no more ticks!. Don't drive your dodge like a jackass, it will hold up for big mileage
Sorry don't like looking up your nose!!!!
Stop running that garbage 5w20 oil, it's too thin and causes a lot of these problems! Run at Least 5w30!
F7X1 what does 5w30 do?
F7X1 I tend to agree with this logic. The oil doesn’t protect enough. 5W-30 synthetic only and a good filter and you likely will avoid the issue. Owned two 5.7L didn’t have an issue doing it that way. I also disabled MDS with tuner.
Sorry buddy but if you are going to do selfie videos, maybe consider betting braces for your teeth.
