Description of the problem	2009 dodge ram 1500, 5. 7 hemi, 74000 miles. Developed ticking in the engine at idle and acceleration. Within a couple days engine light came on with shuddering under small load (up hill highway). Took to the local dealership that day. They discovered that the roller lifter failed (seized) and ground the cam lobe flat causing the misfire in one of the cylinders. $4300 repair bill! This is very common in the 5. 7 hemi and not just the ram, so common in fact that the dealership called and said the repair is on hold because the lifters are on backorder! Google "failed 5. 7 hemi lifters"... Some vehicles don't make it 25000 miles before this happens. Chrysler has since changed the part number of the lifter because they know there was a defect or design flaw. But when you ask for assistance with the repairs they don't acknowledge there is a problem. This issue needs to be investigated, there are too many of them out there.
