Problem Reports

Dodge Ram 50 Problem

Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993

A tappet/lash adjuster noise may be noted from the 3.0L engines. Our technicians tell us that proper testing of the lash adjusters  should be performed before replacing any parts. A full crankcase of clean engine oil is necessary before attempting to determine if any lash adjusters are bleeding down and causing a noise concern.
