Engines for every major make

RAM trucks have been a standalone brand since 2010, but their powertrain DNA goes back decades under the Dodge nameplate. The 5.7L HEMI V8 is the dominant engine in our RAM inventory — it powers the Ram 1500 across every model year from 2003 to current, and it's one of the most replaced truck engines in the country due to the MDS lifter issue. We stock the HEMI in every variant: standard, MDS-equipped, eTorque mild-hybrid, and the performance-tuned versions.

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 was available in the Ram 1500 through 2019 (and continues in fleet models), and we carry it across all production years. For the Ram 1500 with the newer powertrain, we stock the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 (VM Motori) in both the Gen 1 (2014–2019) and Gen 2 (2020+) variants. For heavy-duty applications, the 6.7L Cummins inline-six diesel is available for the Ram 2500 and 3500, alongside the 6.4L HEMI V8 gas option for the HD trucks.

Every RAM engine is OEM original with verified mileage and our standard warranty. We know these trucks and which engine codes match which model years.

Common RAM Engine Issues

These are the most frequent reasons RAM owners need a replacement engine.

5.7L HEMI — MDS Lifter Failure: The same cam/lifter tick that plagues Dodge applications is the #1 reason RAM 1500 owners call us. The MDS lifter collapses internally, dropping needle bearings into the oil system and scoring the camshaft. The repair on an installed engine is $3,000–$5,000 in labor alone because the cab or body typically needs to be lifted to access the lifter valley. A complete replacement engine is often the same total cost with zero risk of discovering additional damage once the old engine is torn down.

3.0L EcoDiesel — Oil Cooler & EGR Failure: The Gen 1 EcoDiesel (2014–2019) develops EGR cooler cracks and oil cooler leaks that can contaminate the coolant system. Stellantis extended warranties on some of these components, but out-of-warranty trucks face $4,000+ repair bills. Complete engine replacement is common when multiple systems are compromised.

6.7L Cummins — CP4 Fuel Pump (2019+): The 2019+ Ram 2500/3500 Cummins switched from the proven CP3 fuel pump to the failure-prone Bosch CP4. When the CP4 grenades, it sends metal shavings through the entire fuel system and into the injectors, which can wash cylinders and cause catastrophic engine damage. Full engine replacement is sometimes required depending on the extent of contamination.

RAM Engine — Quick Answers

Is the HEMI lifter tick covered by RAM warranty?

Stellantis has not issued a recall specifically for HEMI MDS lifter failure. Some vehicles may still be covered under the original 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty or under extended warranty plans. If your truck is out of warranty coverage, a replacement engine with verified-good lifters is the most reliable and cost-effective solution.

Do you carry the RAM EcoDiesel 3.0L engine?

Yes — we stock both the Gen 1 (2014-2019) and Gen 2 (2020+) EcoDiesel V6. The Gen 2 addressed many of the reliability concerns of the Gen 1, including improved EGR and oil cooler designs. We verify the generation and production date to match your specific truck.

Should I get a 5.7 HEMI or a Cummins for my RAM?

We provide replacement engines that match your truck factory specification. If your truck came with a HEMI, we source a HEMI; if it came with a Cummins, we source a Cummins. Engine swaps between platforms require extensive transmission, wiring, and computer modifications that go beyond a standard replacement.

How heavy is a RAM HEMI engine for shipping?

The 5.7L HEMI weighs approximately 450-500 lbs as a long-block assembly. Our shipping is free nationwide and we use freight carriers experienced in handling engine shipments. The engine arrives on a pallet, crated and protected for transit.

That engine isn't going to replace itself
