This is a FYI. 2013 RAM 1500 5.7. Misfire on #7. Truck lost power and felt like it was in limpmode. 90K miles, one owner, always maintained. Turned out to be a failure of a MDS solenoid ( this controls the cylinder deactivation). Intake manifold had to come off. I replaced all 4 solenoids...
What (if any) is the relative difference in reliability between a 2021-2022 5.7L HEMI with MDS VVT and the 2023-current 5.7L HEMI with MDS VVT eTorque engine? I'm in the process of identifying potential replacement trucks and have decided to purchase a RAM 1500 with the 5.7L engine and 3.92...
I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. I know this year is famous for this issue. I had a cylinder 3 misfire code. I took it in to get it diagnosed and have a bad lifter and cam shaft. The vehicle is in great shape with only 134,000 miles. Is it worth just changing out the lifters...
The hemi has had mds right from when it was introduced in 03,the engine was designed from word go with mds. Some of the earlier HD trucks with the 5.7 were mds delete,but pretty well every other vehicle with an automatic transmission has mds.The exception being the 5.7 and 6.4 Challengers with the 6 speed manual transmission,they don't have mds.
If you have hemi tick, the conversation becomes different, but that PUP is a top oil for the hemi. Other things to look for is high moly, valvoline ep didnt get the votes, but the new formula is high moly. PUP 5w30 and some biotech paired with a synthetic filter is a mighty fine choice imo, close to what you are doing now.
Who has the highest mileage 4th Generation Hemi 5.7 on this forum without having done any work internally? I bought my 2014 RAM with 117,000 on it and I have now 123,000 on it without any problems.
Hey everyone, My hemi 5.7 throws a P0300 code at RPMs above 3K. It sounds and runs fine, no issues idling nor is there any lack of power. There are no other associated fault codes, just the P0300. I have already replaced the camshaft position sensor. Thoughts..?
Howdy, y'all. A year into owning my 2012 1500, 5.7 Hemi and the engine crapped out. I'm suspecting it's cam and lifter failure. Cylinder 3 misfire after replacing all spark plugs. Technician found gunk (oil and carbon I suspect) built up on one side of cylinder 3 and a 120 psi pressure. He got...
I have a 2020 RAM 1500 Classic SLT (5.7 hemi) with around 47K miles on it that I just bought 4 months ago. I started hearing a ticking noise when accelerating a couple of weeks ago that started quiet and got more noticeable after a few days. I started reading about the 5.7 hemi and found out...
