My truck failed the state inspection because 2 exhaust manifold bolts on the passenger side had broken off and were inside the cylinder head with no way to get them out. i had the truck towed to a mechanic upon discovering how deep they had broken off with no success at removing the first one and the mechanic was also unable to remove them. they have now been drilled out by the mechanic which created a coolant leak out of one of the bolt holes and it looks like i'll need a new cylinder head. i've read it's a common issue and now i'm expecting the drivers side to do the same any time if they aren't broken already.
While starting my vehicle in the morning, in neutral idle, a clicking sound was coming from under the engine on the driver side. the clicking sound increased as i accelerated the vehicle. once i pulled over and investigated and found the noise coming from the manifold bolts that have broken/sheared off. noticed bolts on passenger and driver side are broken.
Most of 2013 ram 5.7 liter engine has a valve train premature wear resulting on a loud ticking engine noise from worn out camshaft most vehicles barely over warranty
Rear-most passenger side exhaust manifold bolt broke; it sheared off at the heat shield, causing a loud tick-like noise emitting from area. additionally, exhaust fumes enter into the cabin as a result of this. this is the second time an exhaust manifold bolt has broken (sheared off) on my truck; the first time it was under warranty; now, the repair price quote is approx $800 because of the expected time to remove the broken bolt. this is a common issue among ram 5.7l v8-powered trucks. it is a safety issue due to exhaust fumes entering the cabin, and a quality defect arising from poor quality components and/or improper torquing of the bolts during assembly. fca needs to issue a recall for this! the old saying, "if you take care of your vehicle, it will last" is not true for ram trucks because of poor quality control, subpar part quality and improper assembly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. the contact stated that the vehicle leaked enough oil on the ground to start a fire. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but they could not assist. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 120,000. the vin was unknown.
Truck has 66k miles and oil changes done regularly. valve seat dropped into cylinder causing piston to seize. new engine needed as a result.
Broken exhaust manifold bolts that were causing an exhaust leak
While driving down the highway, my motor suddenly began making a loud ticking sound, followed by a change in performance, forcing me to quickly change lanes in heavy traffic and get into the breakdown lane and stop.
Cam shaft lifter failure. read where this is common problem. safety issue on highway.
Purchase my ram 1500 with the 5.7 in late 2014. i have put approx 78k miles on my truck and notices a clicking /knocking noise and loss of oil pressure intermittently. after have my mechanic look it over, the motor is having cam and lifter problems. this seems to be a common issue online . in fact, i now noticed several other ram trucks driving by me in parking lots, or at stop lights that have a faint version of what i am experiencing. i started noticing this i little upon startup only and then it became so bad out of the blue that my truck started running bad as it got loud enough to hear from in the cab. now its sees i will be out a bunch of money to replace the engine
The engine has a ticking noise on the passenger side of the engine. it starts off very loud, then smoothed out while idling. if driving and accelerating the ticking is loud enough to hear it inside the truck. it is getting louder and louder. i have service done regularly but cannot identify the problem. has this happened with other similar trucks? the truck is in perfect condition minus this tick? any suggestions?
Truck start driving back and hiccuping causeing the truck to jerk and almost causeing a crash check engine light and p0305 code cylinder 5 misfire changed spark plugs and coil pack still same problem
Engine check, traction control, anti-skid lights comes on with a message throttle control requires service. the engine losses all power or stalls making vehicle difficult to control, stop and get out of traffic. i have replaced the throttle control while the check engine light was on , it did not correct the problem. after the truck sits for a day or two all problems clear. 4-23-2019 is my third incident in 4 months.
