I hated getting rid of it. Must have been a Tuesday built truck. LOOOL! I only got stuck 4 times needing a yank. I had it programmed too, it just ripped through the mud in 4 wheel drive!

The 3.7L and 4.7L were more prone to that lifter tick or worn out hydraulic Lifters. They are very delicate and sensitive to oil pressure/type. My 1500 with a 3.7L ticks on start up, but it tends to go away after a few minutes. It did this when I purchased it 30K miles ago, still works. The 3.7L is not a great engine, but it works. The dodge 1500's biggest benefit is that they are much cheaper than toyota, chevy, and in some cases ford because they have a bad reputation and nobody else wants them :) People always hate, they play politics and are very loyal to their chosen vehicle manufacturer. I specifically chose a dodge truck when I weighed the cost and features I was looking for, at the time, it was the best choice for me.

You don't have to replace the entire Engine to fix the "Hemi Tick." If it was really that catastrophic, I doubt they would Sell the way they do. The V6 2nd generation Pentastars do it as well, and it's estimated that about 3-5% of them do that between the two, which is nothing when they make so many. Up until 2021 the Pentastar was in 14 of Stellantis vehicles, and is now into its 3rd generation, and the 3rd doesn't have the Tick issue. And just some are made in Mexico, but most are made at the newly renovated Jefferson Assembly Plant in Detroit.

They are also known for broken exhaust manifold bolts which will also cause a ticking noise, worse when cold. If you catch the lifter tick early enough you can just replace the lifters which will fix the concern. What happens is people continue to drive and drive them and let the noise get louder and louder. By then it has wiped out a cam lobe. But you don’t have to rebuild the engine, you can replace the camshaft and all the lifters. That is the repair that is made. Though not cheap it is much cheaper than a reman engine.

The door module could be tied to the side airbags though, so you may not necessarily want to immediately dismiss that one. The rest are not likely going to be an aissue in the case of an accident, but the door module could be, especially if it causes the side airbags to malfunction or not deploy in a crash. At least this guy has a use for the truck (pulling a boat) unlike some people who don't tow or haul anything and would be better off with an SUV that gets 30 mpg versus 18 mpg (and even some SUVs can tow 3000-5000 lbs too, so you don't necessarily need a truck even if you have a smaller boat).

Don't listen to that guy Scotty.. I bought a 2017 ram hemi. In 2016 I bought it with 9,900 miles on it. Transmission went out at 10100. Thank God the dealership has a 3-month lemon law we will fix or take back. I gave it back I got my money back worst truck I've ever bought. I mean they're fancy and have all these great gadgets inside. I'm happy with my Toyota tundra now

I bought a 2011 ram 1500 5.7 hemi and it was ticking with 195k miles, its now got 245k miles and still ticking but can't go over 3500 rpm without a misfire. I paid $6500 for it 5 years ago and mostly use it around town and never get to 3500 rpm. Only get misfires going up big hills on the highway. I didn't know about the cam issues when I bought it, but I found out a few weeks ago after replacing the plugs and coils. Not that I want to swap an engine but its still cheaper than getting another truck and will last a lot longer. I can feel the slop in the cam revving it in neutral from 1500-3000 rpm, but I don't feel it when driving.

Regarding the 5.7 hemi tick I understand the oil they have original in it is way to thin. Some guy I saw drained the original oil and replaced it wit 5w-30. The tick went away. Myself my dodge is the 4.7 and I put 5w-20. I have 123000 miles on it. Basic wear and tear I have changed the tires and the brakes. My battery was the original 11 year battery so when I died I changed that and I had to replace the Altanator. I love my dodge but dodge is starting to price themselves out of business. Oh forgot my dodge is a 2011 4x4 crew cab slt. It was 36000 I got it for 30000. I waited 6 months before the 2012’s were coming out and bought it as a leftover. I buy all my vehicles as leftovers because you can save a lot

It can vary most Toyota/Lexus and Honda vehicles use North American engines in their plants. FCA has a engine plant in Mexico to, but they also produce engines in the US as well. Best thing to do is check the window sticker by law they have to say where the engine, transmission, and final assembly took place.

Usually Scotty is pretty good with his knowledge of the issues with many engines but he’s most likely completely wrong when it comes to the reasons behind the HEMI tick. There’s a lot of discussion online about the causes and even the engineers and engine designers have put their weight into the issue. The most commonly agreed upon problem is it’s caused by lifter lubrication problems. The causes of the lifter problems aren’t well known, but Chrysler did redesign certain aspects of their lifters after the ‘16 model year, which alleviated some of the problems. Splash lubrication has been nearly eliminated as a cause.

Scotty you are not wrong. The company I work for has a fleet of dodge trucks and all the 1500s have major issues. Seems like a truck has to be sent to the mechanic at least once a month. Out of the four 1500s we have that’s a lot. On top of that my boss had one truck lemon lawed. I drive the 2500 with the 6.4l and have had no issues with it. A dodge employee once told me that the 1500 is a 100,000 mile vehicle and not to expect anything more.

@jimeagle1952 Жыл бұрын

There was two causes of the tics prior to 2019, shearing of manifold bolts and lack of oil to the lifters. The cam problem is a symptom of the oil lifter problem! The manifold problem is an easy fix if caught early. The cam problem can be avoided if the lifers are replace before they damage the cam. I owned a 2011 had both problems. I now own a 2019 Ram 5.7 and according to Dodge the problems were fixed starting with the 2019! One other note about the tic, I've noticed that if too much oil is installed this can also cause a faint tic as the engine warms up. Once it's warmed up the tic goes away!
