This RAM 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI is getting some fairly major surgery in the Welshpool Auto Service workshop.
We’re carrying out a camshaft and lifter replacement, a job that requires extensive disassembly to get right. As the photo shows, sometimes working on these big American trucks means getting well beyond what you’d expect from an everyday mechanical repair!
Camshaft and lifter issues are something 5.7 HEMI owners should be aware of. Symptoms can include:
– Ticking or tapping noises from the engine
– Misfires or rough running
– Check engine light
– Loss of power or poor performance
– Metal contamination in the engine oil
– Camshaft and lifter wear or failure
Correct diagnosis is important before pulling an engine apart. Once we’ve confirmed the problem, our team can carry out the repair properly and replace the affected components to get the HEMI back where it should be.
We regularly work on RAM 1500s and other American trucks, from routine servicing and diagnostics through to major engine, transmission and driveline repairs.
