How to Replace The Lifters and Camshaft on a 2013 Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi (Every Step in 30 Minutes!)

WARNING: IF YOU DECIDE TO TACKLE THIS REPAIR YOURSELF AS AN INEXPERIENCED DIY’ER, JUST KNOW THAT EVEN ONE MISTAKE CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURY TO PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OR MISUSE OF INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS VIDEO.

This vehicle took many hours to repair, and the filming and editing also took many hours. My goal was to create a start-to-finish video in which I could document every step of this repair while also maintaining a reasonable length video. Therefore, I do not expound in detail on every step, but instead decided to take an overview approach. That way, someone who is interested in this type of repair can see what is involved and how to fix it without becoming overly bored and having to watch hours of multi-part videos. As a result, this video is intended mainly for entertainment as opposed to being a step-by-step repair guide, although you could probably use this video to guide you if you decide to tackle this job yourself.
In this video you will find:
1. An overview of nearly every step involved in the repair
2. Torque specs
3. A close up view of the failed lifters and damaged camshaft
4. All parts needed to make this repair are mentioned throughout

EXTRA NOTE: The truck here is two-wheel drive. If your truck happens to be 4x4, you’ll have a few extra steps to remove the oil pan. You’ll either have to drop the front axle or undo the motor mounts and raise the engine. In some cases, it may be easier to remove the engine entirely. Keep this in mind before starting the job!

[@danh8539]

Just ripped my engine apart a month ago and replaced lifters, camshaft, oil pump to hellcat pump, timing chain kit, oil pan pickup tube, oil pan gaskets, all other gaskets, spark plugs, serpentine belt, etc. My truck now runs quiet like it's a brand new truck. People just need to take their time and triple check everything. The job is only hard if you make it that way

[@cameronlujan9320]

I'm about to tackle this job on my 2007. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but have a question. After finding top dead center....installing cam...lifters....putting heads back on...pushrods....etc..do you need to turn the engine manually by hand before starting it with the key to make sure there are no issues? If so, here is my question....by doing so this does it mess with your timing, or is your timing still good since you already found it earlier Thank anyone for some help!

[@grayblackwood6741]

wondering how everything is holding up?,ive been wanting to do the hellcat oil pump upgrade,is it worth it?

[@ericsfo1]

@@cameronlujan9320 First off never done this job. Other videos I’ve watched if I remember right, showed there are marks on the chain, sprocket, and block to line up. Also showed in moving it manually. The other made it seem like not a big deal getting it lined up. Take this for what it is and just keep searching youtube for other videos. If I find the one I’m talking about I’ll update with link.

Good advice, I couldn’t agree more.

[@ryantolbert5951]

10/10 I just completed this job on my truck, I have zero mechanical experience and I've never done any type of motor work to this degree. I referenced this video from the first step all the way to firing it up for the first time. The only thing I did different was instal non mds lifters and removed and plugged the solenoids. The truck runs better than it ever has now. I can't thank you enough for this video I don't think I could have done it without it.

Where did you order your part from

[@ryantolbert5951]

I ordered the full mds delete kit from texas speed it comes with everything you need for the job except for the oil pan gasket and exhaust bolts.

If you go the non mds route you will also need a tuner to disable the mds system in your vehicles computer

[@trazor79]

Thank you for an excellent video. I have the 4wd version. Added an extra six hours lowering the differential. Many videos out there say to remove the passenger side motor mount and jack the motor. I did not need to do this, just lower the diff as much as it will go until it rests on crossmember brackets and then you can manipulate the diff to let the oil pan slide out. Thank you for your help!!

[@kylekelly8921]

I just started helping my neighbor with this fix and no where in the title of you video do you say that this is only for a 2 wheel drive truck. In order to get the oil pan off on a 4 wheel drive dodge/ram truck you have to either lift the entire engine out to remove the oil pan or you have to disassemble the passenger side of the front axle in order to get the pan off. I simply wish that you either re-title this video or at the least make a disclaimer that this only applies to a 2x4 dodge/ram truck. As a humble home mechanic I truly appreciate this video because this helped us immensely... other than the headache we now have encountered midway through the job which is to remove half of the front axle, we're gonna keep on following your advice because you did a great job in this video... other than that disclaimer lol. Which I'm sure you'll fix. Thanks brotha peace out

[@kylekelly8921]

P.S. The fact that you commented on almost everything's torque spec is extremally valuable

[@PRO4XKEV]

Fantastic video, great job. I had a 2013 Ram 1500 4x4, 5.7 and loved the truck, I had a very small Hemi tick since it was new, however I never had any issues. I changed the oil/filter every 3k - 3500 miles.. used the 5w-20 and MOPAR filter, sometimes I would use 5 quarts of 5w-20 and 2 quarts of 5w-30 mixed.. I sold that beautiful truck with 30k miles, no issues ever with anything, mine had the 6 speed auto.

[@Michael_Schofield]

I completed this job about 300 miles ago and here's my review. Truck: 2013 Ram 1500 5.7 4x4 sport Kit: AMS racing MDS Delete kit. Upgraded to hell cat oil pump. Found broken bolts in both exaust headers and removed with extractor kit. Replaced rusted heat shields on exhaust headers. Replaced bolts that attach exaust pipes to engine heads. The 4x4 requires lowering the front diff to remove the oil pan. I did this by removing a total of 7 different mount bolts for the front diff assm, removing the passenger engine mount bolt, and lifting the engine block about 4-5 inches using a jack and 2x4 with a v-shaped cut under the crankshaft pully. Did mds delete. I highly recommend using the timing chain reference points/markers when setting timing. Not because it makes a mechanical difference but to ensure you are still aligned after installing the guides. Engine runs smooth as butter. No tick. Went with 5w 30 because I live in warm climate. If you live in cooler climate stick with the 5w 20. Spent about 3k in parts and tools. Probably saved myself at least 5k. If you don't have a 4x4 this job is very doable with time and patience. I'm not a mechanic so it probably took me about 5 days total scattered over 3-4 weeks. If you have a 4x4 like me, I personally would recommend paying someone if you can because lowing the front diff adds about 8 tough additional hours and can be risky if you are not careful. Happy and blessed to be back on the road. Good luck fellas and thanks to this channel because I wouldn't have been able to do it without this video.

[@wdtony]

I’m working on a 2015 4x4. The oil pan doesn’t come out without removing motor mount bolts and raising the engine or dropping the front differential. However, if there’s not a lot of sediment, there are ways to disconnect the pickup tube from the oil pump without completely removing the oil pan all of the way. There are a couple KZbin videos about that.

Should be a recall I spent 24,000 on my truck off the lot used, just got it paid off last year had it for 6 years and just recently have issues with my lifter in bank 1 and nobody ever mentions these issues until it’s too late. Every shop in my town is like “nah we rather just replace the motor, because it’s a liability with metal shavings” trying to charge me 16k to replace the motor. I’m going to tackle this myself, hope for the best🙏

Now have to tear about the lower part of the engine to find the broken piece before it cause more damage. Been taking my time removing everything, chemical wash all the parts air dry on racks before I start putting it all back together. Video helped before taking everything apart. now have a garage full of parts spread out every where lol After learning this new skill, I think I can keep this truck running up to a million miles haha

[@tone435]

It can be done with out removing the oil pump for those who are wondering . This way the crank stays in time you only have to set timing on new cam . You would want to do it this way if you have a ram 1500 4x4 cause this way no pan removal either

[@ml9704]

I'm about to do this on a 2014 4x4. So you are saying I can index timing chain to TDC and just remove the cam sprocket?

[@jackhfletcher]

Just because it CAN be done, doesn’t mean it SHOULD be done. You see how much metal ends up at the bottom of the oil pan? If you don’t clean that out, you’re asking for trouble down the road. If you’re doing it on your personal vehicle and you want to cut corners, fine. But don’t do it on a customer’s vehicle.

[@ml9704]

@jackhfletcher 100% agreement. It's a POV and I am doing work in my garage. I am limited to what I can pull off and where. Is the only concern metal shavings in oil?

[@jsixamore]

I dropped the pan on my 4x4. Had to lower the front diff to do it. Huge PITA

[@ml9704]

Hey Jack, Do you have any videos on removing stuck MDS solenoids?

[@Keithhenagan]

[@rodneys9805]

what about the metal shaving inside that oil pump....just wondering

[@steamboat75043]

You can put the gear back on the camshaft and use the gear for leverage to remove the cam. Then you don't have to worry about cam bearing surface.

[@ordemeprogresso12]

Fair to say just make all other bolts reasonably tight when you don’t mention a torque spec? Bought a 2012 ram yesterday got the cam misfire code today. Having a feeling I’ll be replacing lifters and the cam :(

[@POliver8888]

I’m in the middle of doing one at work now, I pulled the a/c lines off to give myself more room to work.

[@mastertech2015]

Should have done the exhaust manifold bolts since the heads were off. Also upgrade the oil pump and pushrods to Hellcat parts, good video.

[@Jage81]

Great video very thorough

[@tannerball7830]

Did the same to my 2013 dodge charger and one of my lifters roller broke completely and stuck down and chewed a lobe off on my cam shaft. Needless to say it was a prettty bad misfire. Replace with aftermarket cam, lifters and everything in between. After oil pan dropped we found the broke pieces of the lifter. 205k miles so far and running great. Did the repairs at 95k. Definitely worth changing out those bad lifters with an upgrade. Dodge didn’t make good lifters on those gens.

[@williammetel6547]

ASE question. You remove the ground side of the battery first. He removed the positive first. Anything metal gets caught between the positive terminal and ground. It will blow up.

[@rogernewengland]

the best supurb detailed in all steps. thanks.

[@Seezur__]

i am willing to take my truck to you to fix my hemi tick. i’ve checked and changed my exhaust manifold gaskets because they were basically blown. That wasn’t the issue. i don’t have room or all the tools to be able to do this.

[@TylerBowers-zc6ro]

Heads up for anyone trying this, it’s very I guess you could say misleading, watching the video Around the 3 1/2 minute to 4 minute mark where he pulls the crank pulley. In the video it looks like he pulls the bolt out first and then uses a three jaw puller to remove the pulley. I have removed many of pulley and I don’t know why I was being so stupid with this, but you Gotta make sure to have something you are pressing against in the center with the puller bolt. I spent a couple of hours getting different pullers and trying to figure out how to get a hold of the pulley since most wouldn’t quite fit or grab because the bolt would have to go too far to thread into the crank. Then, all of a sudden, I realized how dumb I was being, and I need to push against something with the bolt. This gave me the room I needed to get a hold of the pulley with the jaws. I put the crank bolt back in with about a quarter inch from tight, then use the three jaw puller and tightened the center bolt, so it pushed against the crank bolt and thus actually pulled the pulley off. Then I would back the crank bolt out a few more threads, then do it again. Then continue working my way until the poly was all the way off.

[@ToolsandTime]

Cool video and thank you for being so comprehensive. Very helpful!

[@chrisaranza3477]

Is there such thing as too much metal in the engine due to camshaft being in bad shape. That you its better to replace engine?

[@edge-u-cation5058]

Did you reuse the oil pump? If you're already in there, it would make sense to put a new one in, whether OEM or a hellcat/high volume one. Especially with all that debris in the pan.

[@kbengson9163]

This was a good video that had some nice tips but it could have been a great video (IMO) if you did not skip over much of the actual wrenching portions that you could have tipped viewers on as far as removing clips/connectors/ratchet - extension(s) or wrench/ getting the heads off & on/ a better view and demo how you pinned the tension on the timing chain to remove it and the gears, do you recommend all oem parts (even gaskets) or were some aftermarket etc etc. I know it is routine for you but most people that come to watch the video it will be their first time doing the job. Ty for what you did show however, it will definitely be a big help.

[@PapaRich3165]

Excellent video. Not sure if i can tackle this on my 4x4 jeep in my garage though. Thinking about it. Dont understand the "90 degree" bolt segment. Aren't bolt just torqued to spec?

May be a bad ground connection. Double check the grounds at the back of the cylinder heads. Also make sure the serpentine belt is installed properly so that the alternator isn’t spinning backwards lol.

When you put in the MDS lifters? More like when you put the MDS lifters in the trash can and put the right ones in that. Don't mess up your engine over time. And always remember to put 5:30 weighed in for your oil. 520 that's like lawn mower, engine oil

Ok, if I couldn't mistaken, the difference between the lifters are because the jammed one is a regular one and the other is the meds kind, look the same but they aren't. In other words the damaged ones are the regular that means the meds help some way prevent more damaged.

Just a FYI, You can save a lot of headache and time and NOT take the oil pan or oil pump off. Just Take the top gear and chain off to access the cam.

Will I need to do all this if I’m only changing the lifters ?

What did it sound like before you disassembled it?

Would this be very similar for a 2006 Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 hemi?

When you do this make sure you keep track of what bolts came out of the timing cover and water pump lol. A lot of long ones
