I have a 2011 ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi. I was driving the other day and it had trouble getting up a hill. It was just sputtering and ran really rough. I brought it in to my mechanic and they did a compression test and checked the fuel injectors. Both were good. The check engine light test revealed a problem with the no. 2 cylinder. They checked all of the plugs and coils and all good. He pulled the plug on the no. 2 and found some oil on the plug. Thinks I have a seal that is bad. Thinks it's going to be around $1,500 and since he has to send it to a machine shop, it will be in the shop for about a week. Does this sound right?

 

Depends on where the oil is coming from...... might be a bad valve seal, might be a broken ring. (though, compression test should have shown that.....)

How many miles on it?

Going to move this to the fourth gen ram section for ya as well.
