I've got a 2004 Ram 2500 4wd with 299,000 miles on it. I haven't had any major repairs or problems with it, till now...
My father in law borrowed it and when he was on his way back to my house it died.
When I try to start it now it starts, makes noise and then dies and won't restart.
The only DTC that show up is for the #8 fuel injector.
I'm thinking that it's either a broken valve spring or the timing chain (but why would it even start if it's the timing chain).
I need to tear into it to figure it out but I've been too busy with the new garage project.
Up till that point it's been pretty much trouble free. Just brakes and oil changes, the maintenance stuff...
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

my 2011 ram 4x4 5.7 had 270,000 before the cam went flat because a roller lifter quit rolling, everything elase in the engine looked almost new. Bearings did look new, cylinders had crosshatch all the way up still butt you could feel very slight distortion at the top.

Almost 53,000 on my 08 H.Q.C. on its second engine about 7,000 on it. Took to friends trans shop for trans service ,did it and i told him to change engine oil while he had it, well they put the new filter on and backed it out of the shop… minus engine oil!!! almost $6000 for new engine and installation, his insurance covered it and only cost me a few hundred as i replaced starter, alternator and a few other things while apart. Oh yeah i don`t go there anymore.
