The center caps are going on Monday, the truck was at one of the dealers other stores and they left out the center caps and the rubber floor mats. Camshaft issues on Rams seem to be a problem as they get up in miles, mine had 91K on it. Did your's have camshaft issues or were you just worried you might eventually? What year was yours and what engine oil did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5.7 hemi has MDS like many V-8's do where the lifters have a pin that is activated by oil pressure that is controlled by a solenoid, this allows the lifter to collapse, I had the truck go into eco-mode when it shouldn't have and then it ran fine and was probably the solenoid sending a false signal, in any event this led me to do some research for that issue and then I found that the 5.7L has had issues with camshafts as seen in the vid below, while I didn't have that issue I thought the truck is 8 years old with some light scratches, rock chips that showed rust, etc. stuff that would have been about $1,500 to make look new. My truck was a 2011. The truck has really been stellar in that the only time it left me stranded was when a wire inside the original starter failed this past summer, of course this happened up in the woods near the WIsconsin/UP border where I had a fuck of a time getting cell signal and it took 6 hours to get a rescue tow in; the way I travel in stupid cold weather and bomb around on two track through the woods during the summer made me think I need me a new truck \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobil, Valvoline, etc? I have run strictly Pennzoil in mine, usually Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20. The engine runs smooth and quiet on it. I believe the camshaft issues are on earlier models like yours and some have them some don't. Roll the dice. Mine is a 13 and other than rust coming through on the front fenders, it has been a great truck. I need to get it in asap for them to look at those fenders. Some are being repainted and some are being refused. Funny, there is a backorder on Ram front fenders. 1 hour ago, ActionfigureJoe said: My response was to irv.

UOAs (used oil analysis) are basically just good for checking the status of the oil, not so much for engine internals unless they show high metal wear numbers and/or other things like antifreeze and high sodium. There has been some instances where UOAs have looked excellent but then engines, all of a sudden, go Kaput. They are not as reliable/dependable as one might think. 7 minutes ago, xcr700 said: My ram has a crazy noisy lash guide.

Worn cam lobes will show a particular wear signature of a specific metal type than main or rod bearings. I have found it to be very accurate. I incorporated the use UOA into a fleet maintenance program several years ago. It was successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
