Ok got the fuel pump in there. No more codes but the truck is still running really rough.

It is hard too start like 30 sec cranking. And I here a loud metal pinging sound. Truck has no power at all either when and drove it up the hill and it died took another 30 sec to start then it died when I parked it.

I have no clue what is causing any of this.

I have replaced the tps crankshaft sensor camshaft sensor cleaned idle control valve, replaced all the spark plugs and one injector, replaced fuel pump.

I have dumped so much money so far I just need some help.

Thought I would update for if anyone is having this problem they know what it is:



Well I went too dodge and talked to them. I guess the rocker arms that came with the truck were a bad design and now they have a updated rocker arm replacement.

I asked what was wrong with the stock ones that came with the truck and they couldn't give any advice to why they changed the design of them.

So today I am going to replace two of them. But I am going to replace all of them later on and the lash adjusters.

My question is should I go with the stock lash adjusters or go with a aftermarket one. I notiched that on airram they are 86$ a piece which seems a lil high.

So what was the compression on the cylinders? What makes you think there is a rocker arm problem? Did you look at them and are a few loose or something.. Bent? Seems wierd the symptoms have you disconnected the battery for 5 min or so to reset the PCM?

Here is a video. The sound you here in the video is 100 times worse while it is running and it has no power. I forgot what the compression was but they were all with in spec. I reset the pcm and there are absolutely no codes at all even drove it a block. It died then was hard to start.

Here is what it turned out too be. 2200$ fix. Hopefully this helps some out who is or will go threw the same thing as mine. If it ever does happen do a compression check first and do it twice.
