The Hemi uses a single central cam phaser fed oil pressure through one oil control valve (the VVT solenoid, mounted at the front of the engine… Repairs typically run $150-$3,200. Severity: medium.

What is the 2013-2023 RAM 1500 Optional air suspension: compressor failure, ride-height errors, and cold-weather collapse?

RAM 1500s equipped with the optional 4-corner air suspension (common on Laramie, Longhorn, Limited, Rebel) suffer recurring failures. The most common is air-bag micro-leaks (usually a rear bag) that make the compressor run continuously to keep up; the overworked compressor draws… Repairs typically run $800-$3,300. Severity: medium.

What is the 2013-2022 RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI broken exhaust manifold bolts (cylinders 7 & 8) causing a cold-start tick?

The 5.7L HEMI uses cast-iron exhaust manifolds bolted to aluminum cylinder heads. The dissimilar thermal expansion rates repeatedly stress the manifold-to-head fasteners, and the rearmost bolts (commonly cylinders 7 and 8) shear off. This produces a sharp 'tick' or exhaust tickin… Repairs typically run $400-$1,500. Severity: medium.
