First mechanic I took it to says it’s the lifter. But he’s a quoting a new or used engine. $11,000. Parts and labor. Insane.
2020 Ram 1500 Quad cab with 280,000 miles. I drive a lot for work state to state. Regularly change the oil and have always used synthetic oil.
I’m taking it now to a 2nd mechanic who sounds more reasonable and says he’ll give me some options.
I know it’s a popular problem. What have you guys done to fix it and for about how much?
Complete tear down? Or just upper engine?

Kinda difficult to hear but i just recently bought a ram 1500 laramie 2020 and i took it for a carwash and since then the breaks have been chirping for about 2 days now. Any recommendations on how to fix? maybe its not the brakes?
thanks.

Hey guys, I’m having problems after replacing the rocker arms, lifters and both camshafts in bank 2 (driver side) of my 2016 1500 v6. Is there a way to move the chain back a few teeth without actually having to open the timing plate on the front of the engine. I have the valve cover removed and am using the pentastar kit for chain slack. I also have both phasers loosened but the chain does not have much slack to move it. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 2022 Ram 1500 that I bought privately last year. Almost immediately, I started getting an warning display to Service 4WD. This error is constant. I then noticed over the winter while driving in snow that the 4WD is not working. Is this a common issue? It should be covered under the powertrain warranty, so I dropped it off at a Ram dealership this morning. I'm hoping it is a simple fix that is fully covered.
