Looks like we have a failure

[ammdrew]

Check engine light came on last night, Motor then stalled and it sure does sound like something broke inside.

At the dealer now we will see in a few day when they dig into it what exactly failed.

Does not sound good, keep us posted and good luck.

Must've been the eTorque! Oh, wait...

Sorry your Ram is grounded; hopefully it's a "small" fix and not a transplant.

First reports back valve spring broke... They do not believe any piston contact so maybe a simpler repair.

Wasn't that a common issue (maybe still) one with the 5.7 Hemi's?

 

[ammdrew]

early hemis but was understood to have been fixed years ago. Maybe just a fluke

After revving the engine with the broken valve spring, like in the video, I would bet there was contact.

 

[ammdrew]

The sound greatly exaggerates the actual rpm. 1100-1500.

 

[Diamondback]

better rev it up to 3500 just to make sure ...

got her back yesterday. valve spring on number 1 cylinder broke. runs perfect no issues. Pretty impressed they got it in and done 3 days..

 

[Glenn54]

That is pretty impressive. Glad it wasn't something more serious.

 

[Ranger482]

Good to hear!

I was going to say the same thing...no offense to the OP but that wasn't the brightest thing to do already knowing or suspecting there was most likely some kind of internal engine damage. It could only make things worse, not better. The "first, do no harm" (or potentially exacerbate the damage) that applies to doctors should also be the thinking with stuff like this.
