Dealership just called and told me to evaulate how much I like my 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie.
They said the tick is coming from the left and right side lifters. They suspect cam lobe damage and are pricing the repair. Service tech estimated north of $6000.
Internet research shows this to be a common Gen III Hemi issue and there is a class action lawsuit against FCA for this very issue.
For those who have experienced this, did the repair last long? Does this really lead to dropping a cylinder? If so, any idea how long before it drops?
I just looked at the dealership I normally buy from and they only have 4 used trucks on their lot.
I really don't want to spend $6000+ to repair it but I really don't want to drop $50K+ to replace it. I just put in my work resignation and start school in 3 weeks. I'll have a 3hr daily commute when class begins.
Thanks, Dinny
