Bottom end is completely the same for the most part. Everything up is different. Thank you for your input, it is very valuable!

Oil passages are small and get clogged easily. These engines are known to sludge up with long oil change intervals.

Hi all. I own a 2013 ram 1500 with the 4.7. I just replaced the engine after extreme neglect killed the past engine at 166K. I have 250mi on the rebuilt 4.7. I want to know what would be good maintenance schedules to follow. I don’t run the recommended 5W-20, i run 5w30 in it. Right now for...

Oh, it was more than out of spec. Lol. There was so much cylinder damage that it felt like sandpaper and had a ridge to it. Truck doesn’t have a lick of rust. It’s a CA truck. Lol

After a few months of considering I didn’t do the 6.4. Quotes i got were too outrageous and i could just get some adapter plates and have fun with the 4.7 very long down the line. I got a new rebuilt 4.7L. Took a month to drop it in, now it’s smoother than ever minus an exhaust leak from...

I I found out what they were. Lifters are failing, so i was wrong with what i said before. I don’t have the time right now to swap an engine, so im going to replace the lifters and pushrods and maybe get a better cam while im in there. For those wondering, it started to tick. Not loud, but...

I’ll do that the next time i do an oil change.

I am replacing the engine in my other truck at the moment. Do not like the timing of this, lol

Goal right now is to change it again at 500 miles and see what happens then with the metal in the oil. Just as bad or worse, she’s getting taken out of service for a bit. How hard is a 6.0 swap? I do not want a 4L80.

New ones with AFM, yes. Old ones without, no.

Hello all. Been having a bit of an issue with my 5.3 in my Tahoe as of late. Picked it up for cheap from someone who didn’t need it. It had 240K, figured if it ran well, mine as well give it a shot. Long story short. Did my first oil change at around 243-244K, after he did one at 241...

That’s just how it usually is. Pentastar fails because the owners a moron and had the last service performed by the dinosaurs usually ends up in 45 cope paragraphs about how they’re the worst company on earth and should’ve been ran out of business 1.2M years ago. Yota 3.4TT fails 3 times in a...

Yeah, I know they weren’t OEM sensors from GM. I will replace with OEM and hopefully it fixes it.

Interesting thing that’s happening here. According to torque pro, B1S1 drops to around 0.1V within around a minute. B1S2 is still at 0.3V, B2S1 is stuck at 0.3V, and B2S2 dropped to 0.1V almost immediately. Hmm, wonder if the new 02 sensor i dropped in for B2S2 was bad. And maybe the rest are...

I’ve been told I don’t really have to worry about the P0157 and that’s it’s really only there for emissions. So that’ll come last. As for the other test you were talking about, i will do it now.
