 What's up, Mopar Fam? So we just made it over here, my buddy's shop, and uh, sorry about the dogs barking over here, but we're going to check out some 6-4 Himmys on some uh, big trucks over here that actually has had a bunch of failures that he's worked on. That's his personal truck, and that truck is tuned by Jay and has a Jay Green Cam in it, and uh, hell yeah, here we go, we about to check them out. So he has had a rash of these things come in lately to his shop, and it is crazy. A lot of people's been asking me questions about how the 6-4 Himmys have been holding up in the 25 and the 3,500 trucks. Well, we're going to find out. You know, there's not too many issues with them, but there's definitely some problems. So all right guys, so what we have here is a 2016 Ram 3,500 with the 6-4 Himmi. This is a landscape truck, and this particular guy owns very many of these 6-4 Himmys in the 2,500 trucks and the 3,500 trucks. And my buddy over here, he runs a shop over here by his house, and as you can tell, what we're probably about to talk about, and I hate talking about this subject because it scares everybody, and it definitely sucks. Well, guess what? They have the same problems as the 5,7 and all the other Himmys. A lot of these things are new. A lot of people haven't put a lot of mileage on them yet, but this is his fifth or sixth truck within the last two months, okay? And that's pretty bad. They're coming in back to back. So this particular truck has 132,000 miles on it, and some of the other ones that he has had seems to range between 100 to 140,000 miles is when he's seeing the 6-4. Lifters and cam fail, just like the other Himmys, like the 5,7. So this one here, let's show you the lifters. This one, just like many of the other Himmys, failed the number 5 lifter. Try to zoom in on it here, so I don't know if you can see, there you go. So you can see according, compared to the other two on the left and the right, it has locked up that middle lifter, which was number 5 cylinder, and the lifter bearing locked up, seized up, and it started beating the cam and flattened out. As you can see per this one and the left one are intact and good. None of the other lifters failed. It was just the one lifter, and that's usually what happens when you have a cam lifter failure. You get one lifter, locks up, and then it beats the cam. So here's the cam shaft, and all the lobes look good, except for the one obviously that had the failed lifter, which is this one right here, I'm pointing that, and you can see the razor edges compared to the other lobes, and it has ground it down pretty bad. And you can tell that it aided up pretty bad. So there you go, this one right here is the one that failed, well not the cam shaft's fault, but the lifter's fault. But anyway, lifter locked up and it ate this lobe down, and it has cut it down and grooved it pretty bad. That's what they're supposed to look like right here, not like this one. So what happened is this truck experienced a low power symptom and got a misfire code and started ticking and tapping, and that was the dilly, the lifter and cam failure just like all the other himmies. So there you go. I hope that answers a few questions I've been getting, you know, with my cam shaft failure on frostbite, a lot of people has asked me that owns the 6-4 himmies was wondering if they would have or have the same problems or symptoms as some of the 5-7s with the lifter and cam issue. And I really didn't have any answers for them. As a 6-4 that came out in the bigger trucks, relatively new, you know, a lot of people hasn't piled a bunch of mileage on them or anything yet, and there hasn't been a lot of video footage of them with particular failures yet. Anyway, like I said, this truck is one of many that my buddies already had to put a cam and lifters in. This is like, like I said, a fifth or sixth truck now within about a month or two that has had the same exact failure on this particular guy's vehicles. Now, the install repair process is pretty much identical to doing a 5-7 himmy. It's pretty straightforward. It'd be the same process. You know, yes, it sucks. Yes, you know, the parts can add up lifter, a set of lifters are going to cost you 500 bucks. A stock camshaft is going to be, give or take where you get it, you might find one between three to 500 bucks if you go back factory. And then you got to do head gaskets, you got to do all your other gaskets, timing cover gaskets, and fluids, and all that stuff. So it does get a little expensive. If you go back stock, you can, you know, probably expect, you know, maybe between 12, about $1,200 or so in parts. We'll actually ask my buddy that in a minute, exactly what the parts cost is to go back factory. This truck's going back completely stock. It's going to go back with factory MDS lifters and everything, stock cam, everything. So I'm going to ask him what it takes, money-wise in parts and what he typically charges. If you're in Georgia and you have a problem with a cam lifter failure, he will hook you up. He is much, much cheaper than going to a dealership or an actual, you know, repair shop down the street. He's very good. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's done many of these on the Hemmys and he will hook you up. What's up guys? Quick little break here to try out something new, super clean, hooked us up with some degreaser for the shop and for frostbite. And we're currently working on my buddy's truck over here. Some of you guys already seen the truck on the channel and it's a four by four truck and he's not the biggest person on keeping stuff clean and just drives the crap out of his truck. And that's fine. It's a truck, right? So we're going to try it out on his truck because he's got some really dirty wheels and this is the new aerosol cleaner degreaser. So we're going to spray it right on the wheel and then we're going to hit it with a pressure washer and see if this wheel will come clean without us physically having to scrub it by hand. So here we go. Let's see what happens here. I like the way it sprays out. That's cool. Foam's up pretty good. I have to say I like the way that it sprays out. It sprays out really good. It coats everything pretty good and I can see all the grease and grime is breaking down already. So I have a feeling this wheel is going to come pretty clean. We're going to grab the pressure washer and see what happens considering how dirty that tire and wheel was. It looks almost like new. Spray it on super quick and works really fast. Spray it on, grab the pressure washer, the hose and blast it off and you got a clean tire and wheel. This stuff would be great, man, for people that's going off-roading, going hunting, hitting the trails and your wheels are always dirty. Spray it on, rinse it off, you're good to go. But as you've seen, very dirty tire and wheel looks pretty dang clean right now. All right. So after talking to my buddy, he said to go back factory parts, okay? This is going to be factory cam, MDS lifters. While he's in here, he does new solenoids and since the heads are coming off, he puts in new valve seals and springs, basically cleaning up the heads and making them good to go since they're already off. Now in factory parts, if you do what he does, you're going to be close to two grand in just the parts to fix this failure. Labor wise, most dealerships will quote you close to $25 to $3,000, if not a little more in labor to fix this issue. He's normally charging people around $1,500 to do this. And again, like I said, this is a suck situation. It's sad that this happened so many times on the Hemmys, but it's not the end of the world. It can be fixed and it can be done. It's just a matter of money, time, and having to deal with it, like I said, it does suck. But that's what's going on with somebody's six fours when they're getting over 100,000 miles, it seems like they are having the lifter failures just like the five sevens. So for those that's been asking, if they had the issues, well, here's your answer. He's done five or six of them within the last month or two, and they are starting to roll in here left and right. So yes, they are having the problem unfortunately. Other than that, guys, hope the video helps you out. I don't want to scare you guys. You know, I love the Hemmy. There you go. Hemmy sweatshirt on, and I'll have nothing but a Hemmy. Just trying to let you guys be aware of what's going on, what to expect if you get into a Dodge Ram or a Hemmy. Very reliable vehicles, but this is one problem that they have just like the LS world. The LS vehicles, they have the same problem with lifters and cams. They're going out like crazy, and it's just part of what's being built today. So one day they'll resolve it, hopefully. But as always, stay safe out there, guys. Don't forget, hit that subscribe button, and we'll see you guys on the next one. Peace.
