good afternoon,
I was curious if anybody has had their ram 6.7 2021 in for the second time for a tick issue. The truck just had a new cam and lifter put in it at around 17,000 miles. I just took it back to the dealership with 21,000 miles And they said it has bent push rods and also bent rocker arms.Now my question is what is the next steps will I have to get a new short block due to the composite block and possible lifter causing the issues with the bent push tubes. I am new to this forum. Thank you for all your advice.
 
Probably install error on the techs part is my haphazard guess. Block will probably be ok.

That is the part that scares me to death with the dealership. Down for weeks or even months in some cases, then come to find out the molestation period made the problem absolutely no better. Been there done that. Almost easier trading it in and taking the hit.

Update when the dealer performed the cam and and lifter swap they did not do the pushrods and rocker arms.
The tech that performed the service has been let go. I hope this eliminates the issue I had with the noise and also the miss.
