Thanks. Yeah it’s on the truck now. My butt syno says it runs a little smoother. Probably a placebo effect. It’s a much slimmer design. Putting the belt on was super easy

It’ is 2 lbs heavier than stock. So maybe it’s a slight improvement

Yeah. Sooo I just realized it was viscous when I took it off. I feel like I wasted my money.

got a 19 cummins. Is it worth getting a Fluid Damper, since stock is also viscous as well?

DNR diesel tore apart a 25. Lifter dimensions are exactly the same. Manufacturer I don’t know who makes them now. Mine always makes noise after a fresh oil change then goes away, if that helps all. L5p’s are known to do the same in some cases.

just did a Thuren leveling kit. Adjusted drag link for steering alignment. What’s the torque spec to lock drag link down?

Double R Diesel had a legit Dyno run with one. Firepunk proved the 3rd gen version wrong as well. On a dyno no one shows as far as I have seen any productive hp increases. That being said, I have one on my truck with his cold air intake, noticeable difference. Worth the 2k, debatable. It...

There is a guy on this forum who had it figured out pretty well. He was actually one of the first to do the Wagner solid roller conversions ( take the hydraulic out the roller). Essentially he said there were 2 different types of ticks one you should be fine for a long time. The other not so...

Ram told me mine was normal quite a bit. I felt better about my truck after watching those videos of the dmax’s and ford videos. The noise eventually made me paranoid enough to crack the valve cover off. Had a couple pushrod ends wore down. Replaced with performance set. Still makes noise...

Love the setup. No lift ? Specs on tire?

I forgot to mention I did studs on that oil change Some of that arp sauce might make some of the numbers different

I feel the same way. Just put 10w30 in, man it runs so much quieter. Hotshots tends to run a little thinner in my opinion. Probably from the fr3. 5w-40 hotshot compared to a valvoline blue 5w-40. It seems like the hotshot flows faster, at least out the bottle.

Yeah im at like 93k now on the clock. That oil analysis was hotshot pao 5w-40. Im a little concerned with the aluminum. But I guess time will tell.

So got my oil analysis back

I ask because I notice if my truck sits for awhile the engine gets pretty dry, inevitably causing a rough startup. At least till the oil get in the lifters

Did the noise go away after the oil got through the engine?

I don’t think they do. I believe the cups are pressed in. Not positive. I agree they must rotate somehow because some of them had good polishing. If you look at some of the older pics I put up, there were a few that had directional grooves in them. I need to just do the conversion and be...

I did run it with cover off. From the looks of the pushrod tips I would say there was no rotation on a couple. I did not put marks on any. Great idea. Next time I’m in there I will.

I wish I could give you a definite yes or no. From my experience after an oil change you’re going to experience ticking. 1k miles or so it should subside. I don’t think it Really matters what oil you use (brand) obviously don’t use 15w-40. I checked my pushrods at about 85k miles because in...

No ticking after about a 1000 miles. These trucks quiet down with old oil. I’ve had a scope and looked at the cam and everything. All looks fine. Keep tabs on the pushrods if you have any mechanical skills. Seems like those don’t last long on these trucks
