Cylinder deactivation
2 trucks in our small fleet both had cylinder deactivation lifters fail this month.
These lifters will end up costing me about $10-11k.
'12 GMC 6.2 - 124,000 miles - 2 lifters failed and ruined the engine. New long block required.
'14 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi 240,000 miles - 2 lifters also failed - luckily no major internal damage. Unluckily, the issue is so prevalent that the lifters are backordered - so we are converting it to non-deactivating lifters which requires an ECU hack on top of the lifters and a cam.
