What really bothers me is you spend alot of money on such a nice ride and it starts to fall apart after a minimal amount of miles, What kind of workmanship is THAT? THE engine knocks and clacks on cold start , like the lifters are worn out ,weak And the crank bearings aren't getting enough oil pressure, Im a thirty year automotive tech Ive heard these symptoms many times before on older vehicles with high miles. So I guess what Im trying to say is dodge needs to step up and correct this problem at no cost to the consumer. thank you

Ram 1500 SLT Megacab 4x4 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles

Was wondering if anyone is experiencing engine noise coming from what sounds like the bottom of the engine.. it sounds like rolling clunking noise but it sounds like marbles in a crown royal bag.... and u shake em around in a way that would be like rotations in an engine.. i was told from a friend it sounds like a lifter or three ? i noticed that it has been running a little under powered lately.... and i run 91 gas in it at all times..anyone experiencing that same problem??? also noticed that it goes away when it warms up but if you start it cold.... it wont make the noise right away it needs to go down to a 600rpm idle after the initial warmup idle of around 900 or what not... after it switches down to the lower rpm is where you are more prone to hear it.....

and if you have the best warranty possible... is there a way the dealer can deny the work if it ends up being a lifter if i added a K & N Intake on it ??? that is all the mods I have done to the engine...


Thank you
