    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    Good point, I’ve never pulled a cab. I have pulled front ends on second gens many times for cam work, dealt with working under the cowl for pulling pushrods etc. I didn’t think it was too bad but maybe the 4th gens are a bit more work.

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    I’ve seen lots of videos of the Hamilton kit being done with the cab on just the front clip gone. Why do you say the cab needs to be lifted or the engine needs to come out?

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    For anyone who didn’t have time to watch the whole thing they diagnosed the truck, felt very strongly through diagnosis the noise was valve train, disassembled the truck found evidence to support their diagnosis, put it back together to have it start making the noise again…

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    I had not heard about that refinement, where did you hear about that? I’d be curious to see what it takes to make something like that more affordable. I did see wagler will be releasing their own solid tappet kit in the coming months. A lot of this info would be better served ending up in a...

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    It still makes sense to me to do it as far as preventive maintenance, the evidence has been out there the valve train in these trucks are less than robust.

    The pushrods are problematic as well, lots of scored balls at the top of the piece. Overall still a junk design weather it’s the cause of the noise or not.

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    Yes it’s quite a disappointment after owning many Cummins trucks to have to spend so much so early on to make it the way it should have left the factory. I have seen numbers in the 6-7k range for installed cost. Given time maybe ram will make things right with owners in and out of warranty like...
