2019, Ram 1500. 40,000 miles. Under warranty (barely).
Engine light, misfire on 2.
Swap plugs, coil, injector, misfire does not move. Did this myself.
Cylinder compression is down about 10#.
I do not hear the dreaded tick. Not blatantly anyway. The right bank is making a bit more noise than the left.
Regular oil changes, Castrol 5W20 full synthetic. Pix filters.
Took it to the dealer. After fumbling around for a week, they are pulling the heads.
Anyone know what I might expect?
If the lifter has gone south, what is the factory fix? New engine? Repair existing engine?
I fear I am doooooomed . . .
 
Well that's a little dramatic. If it's under powertrain warranty, what's the issue? They'll fix it and you'll be golden.
