re: RAM HEMI Repair Shop

Thank you. Sounds like the same thing. I figure the truck running in good shape should be worth 10k maybe a little more because of how fantastic the truck is otherwise. So im thinking the smart thing to do is cam and lifters. Compression test first of course to make sure the bottom end is ok. But as I think about it the compression test won't work reliably with bad cam and lifters so it would just be a visual inspection of the cylinders once the heads are off. I feel pretty good that the bottom end is good though. It hasn't been run at all since the lifters left the chat. I have to find a shop that will be honest enough to tell me before proceeding if the bottom end looks bad.

A-Car, that’s all you need. Been using them for over 50 years. Mechanics in BTR will tell you, they are one of the more honest in BTR.
Tell him what you got going on with the truck. He’ll give you the answers.

I had a lot of metal in the oil...a lot. Maybe you will be lucky. Good luck to you.

Problem is I don't trust just anyone to repair it. It's a complex repair. I'm looking for a competent repair shop that has experience replacing cam and lifters on a Hemi.
Honestly man, collapsed lifters and cam replacement on a HEMI is a simple job. Any borderline capable shop is likely doing this a few days a week at a minimum. It’s an insanely common repair. It’s also not a difficult repair whatsoever.
Signed, someone who’s replaced the lifters twice and cam once on his 5.7 in his driveway.
