Is your 5.7L HEMI engine suffering from the notorious "HEMI Tick" or persistent P0300/P3401 misfire codes? This rhythmic tapping noise is a classic sign of MDS lifter failure, which quickly grinds down your camshaft lobes and robs your truck of its power. Don’t wait for a total engine seizure—restore your Ram's performance and reliability with our Complete MDS-Spec Overhaul Solution.
Unlike partial kits, this comprehensive bundle provides everything required for a professional-grade repair. It features a precision-ground Performance Camshaft (OE: 53022263AF) and a full set of 16 MDS-compatible hydraulic lifters (OE: 53021728AE, 53021726AE) designed to maintain your engine's fuel-saving cylinder deactivation system. We’ve also included a complete MLS (Multiple Layers Steel) top-end gasket set and high-strength TTY head bolts to ensure a perfect, leak-free seal and maximum clamping force.(Reference Aftermarket Part Number: HS26423PT, ES72200)
Engineered specifically for 2009-2020 Dodge Ram & Ram 1500 (VIN: T) models with MDS, this kit is the ultimate "all-in-one" fix to silence the tick, clear your check engine light, and bring back the smooth, reliable V8 torque you depend on.

The "Hemi Tick"
is a ticking time bomb.
That annoying idle noise isn't just annoying — it's the sound of metal destroying metal. Here's what's actually happening.
Do It Once. Do It Right.
Tap the dots to see why a partial repair is a $1,000 mistake.
Scored Camshaft
A seized lifter instantly grinds down the cam lobe, destroying its hardened surface.
Mixing a worn cam with new lifters guarantees instant repeat failure. Replace it.
MDS Bearings
Oil starvation seizes the lifter roller bearings. This causes the infamous Hemi Tick.
Replace all 16 lifters simultaneously to ensure perfectly balanced valvetrain oil pressure.
One-Time Seals
Accessing lifters requires removing cylinder heads. You must use fresh seals and gaskets.
Gaskets crush permanently when installed. Reusing them guarantees immediate compression leaks.
Yield Bolts
Factory head bolts stretch permanently when torqued down. They are one-time use only.
Reusing old bolts guarantees a blown head gasket and lost engine compression.
Oil & Timing
Low oil pressure kills HEMI engines. Worn pumps cannot prevent future lifter failures.
Replacing the pump now saves over $1,000 in future teardown labor costs.
Trust the process.
