Hello Scotty are you from Ri or are u from Seekonk?
I'll be honest if a total car wiz who knows every part like you says Dodge Trucks are not good, I would probably just take your word on it. Same in any industry, maybe people with certifications who only know how to replace parts would say differently, but when you know every part and you have an opinion on it being not so good, I just think it's probably good to take the warning.
I just got a ram 1500 2022 Downshift was bad at first
Hi scotty, whats your take on undercoating and rustproofing a car? Thanks
Scotty you are amazing....You have helped a LOT OF PEOPLE.....Thanks
This is going to shock the entire industry, and I'm mad as hell

I'm sitting in the best worst car never made and I'm mad as hell that car prices are about to drop like a stone and I was right about being wrong about Toyota and now I'm buying one.

Chrysler tech here, one thing to keep in mind about that tick is it could be an exhaust leak. 5.7s love to break off the rear studded manifold bolts. The sound is similar to the lifter/cam sound but we always check the manifold first.
My 4.7l has exhaust manifold leak.

Around here, in the Midwest, the bodies on these are almost have eaten away with rust, including the rear bumpers within just a few Years! Its shame.
Yep...tops of the rear wheel wells eaten right through. The lower edges of door skins also a weak point but that applies to many brands.

You cant go wrong changing the vehicles oil every 5,000 miles!
That's my schedule. Every 5k.
Same. Unless I know I did mostly highway driving and even then 7500 is how far I'll take it.
Exactly. Once a year at that millage in my case.
And using a good synthetic oil too and filter. Nowadays you can buy the high quality synthetic oils on sale fairly cheaply, made by quality makers like Valvoline. Synthetic is 10 times better for your car than conventional. I could tell you lots of things, but just try it once. personal experience is the best recommendation
@@thetechlibrarian I drove courier delivery for a while and I had a 97 Ford ranger 4-speed stick. I use full synthetic oil and a good synthetic capable filter and I changed it every 10,000 miles. that thing ran like a champ. It didn't leak any, it burned maybe about a quart but that's pretty good for 10,000 miles.
Scotty, you are a fair and honest mechanic helping us all.

Heck yeah
I just traded my 16' Ram in for a 20' Tundra because of the Hemi Tick... after it was rebuilt once already, had less than 100k miles. Oil was changed every 5k miles, tried lucas low viscosity, liquimoly, redline oil, all of it. The Rams are nice trucks, they drive very well, very comfortable, plenty of power but the costly repairs just weren't worth it.
Friend of mine bought new 2020 GMC Denali and moter but the dust at 69k miles. Bent rods and wore cam. 5.3. He choose to trade it in for new 2022 Silverado with same 5.3. He still drives it. Recall fixed some of these trucks with defective lifters and rods. Why are these companies putting inferior improperly hear treated parts from China?
Some of the biggest piles of garbage I have ran across are Toyotas and fords. Most vehicles are made well and it’s all about maintenance!
Scotty you are absolutely correct. I saw a Ram police truck today and it had the Hemi tick. He had it parked and running at a Speedway gas station and I could hear the engine ticking a good distance away from it.
Once the cam and lifters wear, the metal particles go all over the inside of the engine. Bad mojo.
@@mikekokomomike only if you drive it enough to plug the oil filter.
@@jdmacgyver2062 Having metal particles in your oil causes excessive wear on everything it touches.
@@mikekokomomike That sounds like a disaster waitin to happen
I know V8 Lexus models aren't Scotty's favourite but here in the UK my Sc430 cost me £10k and it's in beautiful shape, I've had it two years with no issues after a belt change and lubes to the engine, differential and transmission. 👍🤞
Automakers now view the truck/SUV as a family hauler instead of a sedan which is why they are making them more luxurious
Whoever "called you out" must be at the RAM dealer replacing the transmission on their truck.
Or maybe engine replacement due to camshaft and lifter damage?
@@northdakotaham1752 wouldn't be surprised if it was both
Love the way Scotty works! Professional, fun, straight forward and sincere. Kudos! Cheers from Brazil.💪💪👍👍
It appears the previous owner of the pickup truck was a professional fire fighter and so he had access to water and hoses and usually during their down time they wash their rigs and keep them clean. They also usually pull boats for the weekend recreation. So a highway commuter truck that was kept clean and was used to transport the family and the boat. Good review.
In other words “flood damaged truck for sale”
@@chrisdaniels4674 and am sure many more on the way.
Idle a lot. Race to scenes. Don’t buy
Can confirm Scotty's living right, his guardian angel protected him from that trailer hitch. The man upstairs knows the ol' guy is saving souls from making bad decisions.
Yet people are still buying Stelantis products. "Please consult with a doctor to see if Stelantis is right for you."
The key to keep a vehicle like this working well is too keep it well maintained
Hot take
Not really most cars will last 200000km.
Take care of a turd it just stays turdy longer
You’re right. I mean, you can’t clean something once and expect it to stay clean forever
@@Stuffies2022 --Both of my Chrysler Vehicles started having problems from the day I drove off Dealer Parking Lot and got worse...
I've had 1 Chrysler and 2 Dodge vehicles. They all had electronic issues to the point where I had a big box in my garage full of old ECMs, PCMs, window regulators, radios, relays, etc.. that had been replaced at some point. That was my biggest issue with them. Their electronics suck! You can't really properly maintain an ECM to prevent it from shorting out.
I had a '93 corvette with that problem. I had to clean up most of the ground contacts and never had the problem since, but who wants to do that?
I love your “HONESTY” it’s hard to find a good and honest mechanic. You’re the best Scotty! TY👋
Does Scotty actually repair engines and transmissions etc. Or does he just removes and replaces them. I have never ever seen his mechanic shop.
I bought a brand new Dodge ram back in 2011, I started having problems with it with only 35,000 miles on it, moldings were popping off the interior started falling apart the quarter panel started rusting around the fender wells and I kept the truck clean. I have a 2011 Toyota tundra with 200,000 miles on it and the only thing that has ever broke was the horn.
Hi Scott I don't always agree with you but I enjoy your enthusiasm and knowledge thankyou and keep these videos coming
You don't have to replace the entire Engine to fix the "Hemi Tick." If it was really that catastrophic, I doubt they would Sell the way they do. The V6 2nd generation Pentastars do it as well, and it's estimated that about 3-5% of them do that between the two, which is nothing when they make so many. Up until 2021 the Pentastar was in 14 of Stellantis vehicles, and is now into its 3rd generation, and the 3rd doesn't have the Tick issue. And just some are made in Mexico, but most are made at the newly renovated Jefferson Assembly Plant in Detroit.
All the new straight six engines are supposedly going to be made in Mexico. It will be a while before we see one on a Dodge Ram but I think it will be a good engine, once they get rid of the bugs from the first couple of years.
@@joeshmoe8952 I didn’t know straight six engines were still a thing these days.
@@jeffgriffith7003 Dodge is making a pretty big deal out of their all new "Hurricane" I-6 engine lineup. Going to replace all the V8s with them across the fleet--in anything not changing to EV.
I didn't think you'd find anything wrong with that beautifully built RAM! Great review! I had 05 Dodge Ram, Bought the 7 miles on it, drove it down every two track in Michigan twice.... put 217000 some miles on it! I took good care of changing fluids after muddin' two tracking. Minor maintenance issues. But I'm diesel mech from Marines. Nothing ever major on that vehicle. I beat the piss out of it!! wheel bearings went and such, changed them, fuel pump at 200,000. I hated getting rid of it. Must have been a Tuesday built truck. LOOOL! I only got stuck 4 times needing a yank. I had it programmed too, it just ripped through the mud in 4 wheel drive! It was awesome! zero f's given when driving. And it was my daily driver.... all highway to work, I miss that batch!! LOOOL! Barely any technology, roooooom for days under the hood. Sooooo easy to work on!!!!
I have an 87 Ram W150....360 V8. Kind of basic although it's an LE version. Always runs and drives...but damn! I can't set the time on the digital clock! Really annoying!
I got one of those and it's been great so far thanks Scotty this video is a big help with the data point and what to look for
Thanks for the information Scotty I hear a lot of chargers with that ticking sound I thought because it's cold outside.
Scotty, I've owned 3 Dodge pickups with Hemi's , all of them have been great trucks. Just bought my fourth one 3/4 ton with a Cummins. I just like them. But I appreciate your honesty, I really enjoy listening/watching your show. Keep up the Great Work! Fan for Life!

You are the best Scotty. Keep telling it like it is. Some times telling the truth hurts.
Truth is not always good news but truth is always respected.
They are also known for broken exhaust manifold bolts which will also cause a ticking noise, worse when cold. If you catch the lifter tick early enough you can just replace the lifters which will fix the concern. What happens is people continue to drive and drive them and let the noise get louder and louder. By then it has wiped out a cam lobe. But you don’t have to rebuild the engine, you can replace the camshaft and all the lifters. That is the repair that is made. Though not cheap it is much cheaper than a reman engine.
Seems like Dodge could repair that issue with a modified lifter.
@@northdakotaham1752
🤷🏻♂️ not sure. I know we have replaced camshaft and all lifters in plenty of engines. Some 150k up to approaching 200k and have had people put another 100k on the engine and still going. So it is repairable. Not cheap but cheaper than a reman, by a lot.
@@elliottbutts153 all that metal from the cam and lifters is going into the oil supply. Not doing the rest of the engine any good.

Thanks Scotty. Great video as usual. I'm actually looking around for a new vehicle, and a Ram truck was one of my choices. Thanks for the info on what to look for.
You've got my full support brother keep up the great work I've been watching your videos for a very long time and I do enjoy them
The 3.7L and 4.7L were more prone to that lifter tick or worn out hydraulic Lifters. They are very delicate and sensitive to oil pressure/type. My 1500 with a 3.7L ticks on start up, but it tends to go away after a few minutes. It did this when I purchased it 30K miles ago, still works. The 3.7L is not a great engine, but it works. The dodge 1500's biggest benefit is that they are much cheaper than toyota, chevy, and in some cases ford because they have a bad reputation and nobody else wants them :)
People always hate, they play politics and are very loyal to their chosen vehicle manufacturer. I specifically chose a dodge truck when I weighed the cost and features I was looking for, at the time, it was the best choice for me.
Same here. I have Chrysler products, Fords and a few GM trucks also. There are good things and bad things about all of them. No foreign made vehicles here...most of them that would fit my needs are too expensive and they just rust out before they wear out. So no point in paying more.
The hemi tic is caused by lots of idle time and mds. a HV oil pump usually solves the issue.. but GM is have similar issues
Scotty thanks to you I’ve been patience and haven’t bought a used truck and now thanks to you I know what I am aiming for with my small budget
The door module could be tied to the side airbags though, so you may not necessarily want to immediately dismiss that one. The rest are not likely going to be an aissue in the case of an accident, but the door module could be, especially if it causes the side airbags to malfunction or not deploy in a crash.
At least this guy has a use for the truck (pulling a boat) unlike some people who don't tow or haul anything and would be better off with an SUV that gets 30 mpg versus 18 mpg (and even some SUVs can tow 3000-5000 lbs too, so you don't necessarily need a truck even if you have a smaller boat).
We all love you , and you have have helped a lot of us through our struggles with vehicles and you have helped me out a lot working on my own vehicles and I appreciate it don’t let people get you down or make you mad keep up the good work. Thanks.
made in Mexico man that must mean that dodge ram is a steal or about to explode either way love it🤣
MAybe YOU love being called stupid by scotty. Speak 4 yourself!
Just learned about you from your video on jump starters. Thankful for you 👍🏽
I get tired of these brand fan boys sticking up for certain brands that most of them know nothing about. That said I don't see anything wrong with someone like you warning people about pattern failures in cars or anything else. I too have seen several hemi cam and lifter failures and also don't recommend buying one. Hopefully these people get lucky with their new purchase. Keep doing what you're doing Scotty. We will keep watching.
As far as the newer trucks, it's hard to find one that doesn't have issues with one thing or another. The best trucks were made 20 plus years ago and it's tough to find one that isn't rusted out here.
I have an 08. 80k hwy miles. Low miles. 5.7 hemi. No cam tick. It does have the broken exhaust bolt tick, but that goes away after the engine warms up. And it won’t blow air out of the floor vents and that’s a common problem. It’s 2WD and gets 18-20ish mpg cruising at 65mph. I’ve maintained it well. Likely will never sell it because it’s worth more to me than anyone else.

I am sure a lot of people are glad you are doing what you do !! Stay safe
I bought a 2011 ram 1500 5.7 hemi and it was ticking with 195k miles, its now got 245k miles and still ticking but can't go over 3500 rpm without a misfire. I paid $6500 for it 5 years ago and mostly use it around town and never get to 3500 rpm. Only get misfires going up big hills on the highway. I didn't know about the cam issues when I bought it, but I found out a few weeks ago after replacing the plugs and coils. Not that I want to swap an engine but its still cheaper than getting another truck and will last a lot longer. I can feel the slop in the cam revving it in neutral from 1500-3000 rpm, but I don't feel it when driving.
He just demonstrated live data to check for cam wear. Watch the video again, maybe?

Hey Scotty Your right don't listen to the guy Dodge Trucks suck Ford is the best Trucks n Cars 45 straight years number 1 Keep up the good work Scotty
Scotty said Kentucky built Lexus had engines made in Japan. I’ve read from several sources that the engine are in fact built in Kentucky, not Japan.
It can vary most Toyota/Lexus and Honda vehicles use North American engines in their plants. FCA has a engine plant in Mexico to, but they also produce engines in the US as well. Best thing to do is check the window sticker by law they have to say where the engine, transmission, and final assembly took place.
I’ve found some of these hemi ticks isn’t always the cam lifter problem, but broken exhaust manifold fasteners.
Hey I liked my Dodge Ram , but even with washing and waxing several times a month the body rust all over from the inside out. Some don't have mush paint on the bed inner walls. You pull a rear light and rust coated. Just a note if you don't start and run it much the engine cam starts dry and can have rust on the top sides. Depends where you store it.
I’ve had 3 dodge chargers, an 06 RT, 06 SRT8, and a 2012 SRT8. I also have a 2017 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. Every Chrysler product I’ve ever had has been extremely reliable. The only problems I’ve ever had out of any of them is the AC compressor failed in the Ram. Besides that, I’ve had fantastic luck with dodge and Chrysler products.

@@amandeepbaa6978 yaaa
Regarding the 5.7 hemi tick I understand the oil they have original in it is way to thin. Some guy I saw drained the original oil and replaced it wit 5w-30. The tick went away. Myself my dodge is the 4.7 and I put 5w-20. I have 123000 miles on it. Basic wear and tear I have changed the tires and the brakes. My battery was the original 11 year battery so when I died I changed that and I had to replace the Altanator. I love my dodge but dodge is starting to price themselves out of business. Oh forgot my dodge is a 2011 4x4 crew cab slt. It was 36000 I got it for 30000. I waited 6 months before the 2012’s were coming out and bought it as a leftover. I buy all my vehicles as leftovers because you can save a lot
I ran dello 15w40 in my 4.7 Magnum.
But I live down south.
if you think Ram is pricing themselves out, then you clearly havent priced out any 4wd trucks. ford, gm, toyota, etc are outrageously priced nowadays.
For $30k here in ND... you get a 100k miles truck. No bargains it seems...but lots of trucks for sale. I need a standard cab, long box 4x4....won't find it here.
I wonder why Fca doesn't program the hemisphere motors to rev up for a short period of time.if they idle for a extended period of time. It would save the cam and lifters and cost virtually nothing.

I just custom built and received a 2022 Challenger R/T, put 1600kms on it and it has the tick.
Its still a great car and really nice.
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info RAM 2 know /see👨🔧good job LOL.thanks Scotty
Next video "I'm starting to like Dodge Rams and I'm pissed"😂. Great video as usual Scotty
Dont mess with Scotty! This man knows his stuff!!! Amazing amount of exremely intricate information of the automotive industry. Thank you!!!
Scotty u have the absolute best info and honesty which is what matters. And lots of things come down to how a person drives and how well you take care of the mechanical things. However dodge after 2007 I would be very hesitant plus the new stensntis ownership oouch. No thank you. I'll keep my old school stuff and rebuild lots of it. Better than it was off the assembly line. Good info again.
Also the previous owner of my ram had the truck programmed for 87 octane or whatever....but I put everything back to stock and I do believe the tick went away
Scotty does the Absolute Best vehicle reviews EVER!!! Keep up the good work man!
The guy brought his kids along, so Scotty went easy on him
140,000 is not that many miles.
See how it holds up at 200,000.
60,000 more miles can make a difference.
Man you just tell the truth lol. What people forget is that there are always exceptions. But shoot you never guided me wrong
Learn something every time! Didn't know about the hemi cams, do they have problems with that knock down to 4 cylinder? Like the GM's do?
I have a 2014 dually with a Cummins.
And it is scary how much electrical stuff the truck has! 🥴
We got one 2017 Ram that had the hemi tick from day 1, everything that could break, broke, including the engine. When the warranty expired we trade it in and got a 22 Ridgeline, the only issue we had it shut off on its own because I forgot to deactivate the auto stop-start feature.
I own 2 dodge ram trucks.
My 03 2x4 has 320+k
My 04 4x4 has 235+k
Both are still strong and awesome.
Coincidentally both trucks need new dash plastic 😂😂😂😂
@@JC-cm9bn Exactly.
Scotty, you've gotta admit that you're pretty much anti-Dodge/RAM/Chrysler/Jeep.
Your videos are the best. Your so fun and humorous interesting and definately have helped me the most out of all the videos so I knight thee the king of mechanics. 💙thanks man
I had a 2014 Ram1500 5.7. It was running great at 93,000mi. Insane power. I ran Amsoil in it to try to avoid the tick. Apparently something worked, bc it didn't tick. The trans started slipping intermittently starting at 58,000 miles though. It would slip from 1st to 2nd when it was cold. The dodge garage was useless in fixing it, so I just ran it that way. Towed great though. A semi truck tanker rolled over it and crushed it in 2020 in my parking lot, so I didn't worry about the transmission issues after that.
If you toggle through that info screen on the dash it tells you all the temperature info you need Kilmer !!!!
Well that's a real Handy stupid system
@@jdmforever5583 Yes all the info you need at your fingertips! It sure is! 😂 Kilmer is a dinosaur 🦖 so he doesn’t realize that! Lol 😂
@@roadglide1142 yeah what's next toggling through your info screen to see how fast you're going😂
How about the other common issue broken exhaust manifold bolts? You get a tick hearing them. Lol
Never heard about that.

I removed the manifold shield so no problem.
I have a 2008 ram with the 4.7 v 8
and 150,000 miles, great truck
no problems
The Hemi does suck down gas. A good size trailer will put your MPG around 10 or less. My dad had a 2003 with that 5.7 and it won't get stuck in snow nearly as easily as my car would. His never ticked. Of course he took care of it. Maybe that was more like a problem with clogged lifters?
