Two things: First, the Telegram scammers are in the comments here, please to not reply to them. I would never ask you to contact me through Telegram. Please pay attention to the name not being accurate. Second: As a reminder guys, the pump I'm giving away is the Melling M342HV a 20% higher volume pump for the 2003-08 5.7 hemi and the 2006-2010 6.1 Hemi engines only! Thank you for watching I appreciate it!
Oddly enough out of those engines listed only the 2009 and 2010 6.1 has lifter failure problems, guess what, they didn't reduce the pump volume but they did change the lifters!
High volume oil pumps were a standard upgrade for as long as I can remember. Anyone rebuilding an engine or transmission or any other mechanical device will always look to make its performance better, more efficient, with minimal increases in costs. It’s good to see this pump appear. I’ll definitely make this upgrade, it just makes sense.
Cool! Thanks for the info. I will eventually make the swap. For anyone with a Hemi, till you can make this swap, it's probably a good idea to avoid letting it sit idling (not hard for me, I never really did that in the first place). Avoid drive-thrus (I hate them!...always have) and if stuck in crawling traffic, rev the car up to ~1500 rpm every so often just to get some oil on the lifters and cam.
Informative video on hemi engines is what I need! Sharing your videos are lifesaving. I appreciate it when you give us advice like using Melling products to minimize the tick issue. Having a channel like yours make our lives much easier.Thanks for sharing your advice!
Awesome! Can't wait to see the comparison video. Would also love to see how Melling's other hemi products perform. I am looking at doing some upgrades to my 6.4 charger some time this year so any new info helps! Great vids!
Melling Performance, I just did a total rebuild on my 5.7 hemi gen 3 2005 Grand Cherokee. That pump would be a great upgrade to keep my engine running like new. Thanks for your videos and information.
MELLING FTW! Putting together parts for my early gen3 hemi build right now for 4.7 to 5.7 swap in my 04 Durango! This channel has been such a wealth of knowledge cheers!
I have the Melling 342HV in my 300C, and I used the high pressure spring. I do get 80+ PSI oil pressure at startup, and once it warms up, its about 38 PSI at idle, 60-70 while driving. I used the high pressure spring because I have eagle heads and a cam.
my mechanic installed a hellcat oil pump as long as I accepted responsibility for fitment. He's a good friend so no matter what happened, I knew I was okay.
Definitely would like to see/hear your thoughts on Melling’s cams and lifters for the Hemi. Can hear a lifter ticking on my Ram and will be doing that work in the spring so would be good to know what Melling’s products offer compared to factory.
That's my next truck/job , 03 quadcab 2wd automatic , blown up , still runs , sounds real bad ..my 350 flat tappet chevy I did last year was melling cam & lifters , so far so good , gonna try a dodge next , just put heads on a 03 Lq9 , im almost done with this one ..
Melling, Melling, Melling! Having been inside two 5.7 daily drivers for lifter failure I hope this new pump will be a problem solver for the third gen Hemi. I also have a 6.4 in a 2500 approaching 100k miles, starting to get a little nervous based on my previous experience...I think I would be smart to replace the pumps in both my Rams before its too late. Thank you for this info! You're the best!
I have a 2022 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi and it has had the TICK since day one, I am looking at a new 1/2 Ton truck now because I sold the Travel Trailer and don't need the Ram but I'm going with a Chevy or GMC with the 5.3 or the 6.2 after all this time Ram is still making JUNK.
@@jamesorr2832I know owners of Cadillac, Chevy and 5.7 RAM all with a failure so it's down to Luck. My 2500 6.4L is north of 100k, but I always wonder for how long.😂
First and foremost, credit when credit due, you must have one of the best channels as far as hemis are concerned in my opinion. Straightforward and direct in all manners and senses. I'm curious where your location is as I would possibly consider bringing my RAM truck in for some work. Let me know? Also wondering if there's a direct line to pick your brain on some options for my 5'7 in my 19 RAM classic
Upgraded my 2008 Dodge charger SRT8 lifters to lifters that have oiling holes for better lubrication and the mellings high volume oil pump.. it doesn't matter which lifter " only if it's vvt or non" other than that if it has oiling holes then it's an upgrade....
Recently found your channel while looking for info on the eagle cylinder head swap. I have a 2007 Magnum that will eventually get a turbo. I was going to put a Melling HV oil pump on it, So this would be a great start to the build. Thanks for sharing all of this great info!!!
I got my 5.7 rebuild and mechanic said with our crazy cold temperatures he didn't recommend it. I was all set to put in a hellcat pump but he couldn't find one anyway or it would have taken a long time. Anyway, After I got my engine rebuild with cam and lifters on my 2015 2500 I also needed rockers and push rods because they were worn out. Also threw in a timing chain for good measure. When I picked up my truck I looked at the old parts to find out that the lifters didn't fail at all but the cam was deteriating and took the rollers out too. So. I came to the conclusion that it was oil failure to me. Now I switched to 5w30 synthetic plus Lucas and the engine even sounds better then she ever did. THnks for your great videos!
Where are you located that it is considered “crazy cold temps” i am in central mn where we can have a week of below zero temps im curious if where you are it is colder and if i should go through with this oil pump
Melling, I have been doing a lot of research on rebuilding a 2008 ram 1500 5.7 motor with 270k that I just received from a family member. I have only rebuilt 1 other engine over a decade ago so I was really set on getting any info I could. After watching all your videos, I have to say I am really confident that I will be able to rebuild this engine with no problems and think that I will be preventing the common issues or at extending the life of the engine with one of these high-volume pumps after listening to your explanations. without that I probably would have just assumed it was b.s. from companies just trying to sell a product that really doesn't work as well as they claim.
I know it's called pressure relief spring or valve but I know on the ls it does change the pressure at idle so I'd like to see you test changing out the spring or swimming the stock spring .100 is Common for the ls
ive learned a lot from your channel, im about to upgrade my own hemi using your videos. cam, lifter, exhaust, oil pump, mds delete, everything using your videos as reference
Great information I'm seriously considering getting this pump I have a 2013 Ram with only 31k I'm retired don't drive far anymore but I don't want any lifter problems so far none yet
The Dodge Eagle 2009 and up Oil pump has a 22% increase over the 2003 -08 pumps. A Melling Perf Aluminum Oil pump for the 2003-08 has a 20% increase. Melling cheaper and lighter.🏁
Thanks greatly. Have ordeted mine from Summit. My recently purchased 13,400 miles Grand Cherokee will havevit fitted as soon as it arrives. Will also use a good racing grade 5w-30 racing oil changed every 3,000 miles. Thanks for excellent explanations.
Melling, just found your channel. Recently purchased my first 2008 300 “SRT Design”. Close to 200,000 with impeccable maintenance schedule. I am noticing lifter tick on startup. So before things go south any further I’m looking into ways to improve and replace. Can’t wait to view more videos. Thanks for the info
My 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi lasted me until the rear end is now broken. Had no time so i bought a 2007 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 Hemi which has a big time Pinging and motor (drive shaft) starting to slip. i now purchased a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 Hemi that is starting but stalling, and burning oil. i like this engine as it has the 2 spark plugs in each cylinder. Very new to me. i towed the truck home. i am changing the Throttle Body as it contains the Idle Air Control Valve which is what i wanted to replace, plus it looked worn. Waiting for replacement (pricing wait). i also am changing the PCV Valve. i love the idea of changing the 342 HV pump #MellingPerformance [MELLING]. i just started watching your videos with this 2004 Ram and love what i have watched so far, Thank You!
Well thank you sky and thank you melling. Im going to be doing my cam swap soon and if i couldnt get a hellcat pump i was going to settle for an oem replacement but now that this is an option i know what im doing. Not only a better pump but its cheaper so im sold
Melling I have a 07 300C SRT Design 5.7l hemi. Everyone says my car is trash and I should of bought a scatpack. Got the 300 as a cash car and been running it for three years now.
Melling. Some people had problems in 03-08 Hemis with Melling pump. Pump was too "tall". So when installed pump, damper etc, damper neck hit pump rotors and break it. When measured stock and Melling pump bodys, Melling was taller.
Neither Jegs or Summit have this on the shelf, these pumps are special order from either supplier. Word on the street is 6-8 weeks to get one currently, Hellcat pump and a Boundary gear are going to continue to be my go too.
Melling (in case the drawing is pending 😅). I do want to say thank you so much for the knowledge you share and all the comparison videos. Most mechanics in my area jump to the "fixes" that are unrelated to the issue.., I've also been to some who solely want to replace the lifters and call it a day. If I'm fixing it, I want to start at the root and in one go. So thank you!
My 2012 ram 1500 Lifters or ticking so so I've purchased everything in need to replace the camshaft and Lifters also purchased the melling pump you suggested in this video I'll send you a update as soon as the work is done.and another after it's been running and after driving for a while
The Melling oil pump for the Hemi engines is Cool for @Melling to come out with! I hope they decide to work with you! Your experience sharing with these Hemi engines is a valuable resource for everyone!🙏
This is really good news. Thank you Reignited and thank you Melling for providing us more info and better options for our Gen 3 Hemis. Its a big help. Love to win that pump for my upcoming project project.
Melling! Down here in México I pay for the pump and also tax and import fees along with shipping so that would be a really sweet addition to my 6.1, so thank you for giving me a chance and also for keeping us informed on these upgrades, you the MVP💪
Great videos bro! Thanks for the effort and the information. I love my Ram and want to extend the life of my 5.7 Hemi. Melling seems to make the oil pump I need and it’s made in Michigan! Thanks again! Melling!
Melling Appreciate your effort on trying to find a solution to this!! Just had a cam lifter job done to fix the tick definitely adding this to my list!!
MELLING--Thanks for the Hemi info, I am gathering parts to do an Eagle Head swap on my 02 Dakota. I Hemi swapped the Dakota a few years ago and it's my daily driver. The 5.7 was removed from a 05 Durango and it has about 180k miles on it and it's starting to feel it's age. After following your videos I did a cam/lifter/Hellcat pump upgrade on my 2014 Ram. I like the Eagle power so much better than the early 5.7 that it just seems natural that the Dakota would benefit from the Eagle heads/intake/pitons, 6.1 cam and Eagle exhaust manifolds. Thanks!
Melling!!! Would be awesome to finally get that on my 6.1, I had a lifter failure earlier this year and did the whole cam swap in my driveway, using your videos to help me through it all. Thanks for the info and chance!
I have been watching you for awhile now, And appreciate your expertise on all these Hemi engines. I am a old school motor head from the Gary Worth Chrysler Plymouth days in Gladstone Or. I would love to put one of these M342HV pumps on my 2006 5.7 Ram. Thank You for your time ! God bless America ! Have a Merry Christmas ! Kurt V.
Melling A old school trick I have done for more oil to the cam on other engines, is make a hollow track in the lifter bore towards the bottom. But just thinking I could cut a small track on the bottom of the lifter from the main oil groove This should feed the roller without loosing oil pressure Let me know what you think
Melling Melling MELLING I love the videos I first started watching two years ago when I to my 08 Dodge 2500. It developed a minor tick last year and I just haven't had the time or money to get it fixed. Watching your videos has really helped me understand the 5.7 hemi. I plan to get a cam and lifters by the end of next year with a high volume oil pump. the truck has 207K on it.
Melling, Your videos have been really helpful, looking to possibly do a cam install on my challenger soon and your install videos have been just what I need!
Thank you for these videos. Very informative. In your opinion would raising the idle RPM while using the stock oil pump provide the same benefit as upgrading to a higher volume pump? Thanks again!
Question Dude, Why is a 5.7 Durango rated at 360hp and a 5.7 Ram rated at 395hp? Where is the extra hp coming from in a Ram 5.7? What would it take to make up the 35hp difference? Keep up the great work!!🤘🤘
Great video and info , love how you are determined to help fix the hemi tick as Chrysler didn't give a crap about it and continued to sell the hemi engine with that flaw. I have a question for you what are chances that my 6.4 with 25k miles on it would have that problem i think i might be hearing something like it thanks
I own a 2022 Power Wagon that I regularly change the oil and never let idle for an extended time as, since I've been told will help prevent the dreaded Hemi 'Tic'. We had our first cold morning of the 2025 Winter yesterday here in North Texas so I did a little experiment: started the engine and sat in the cab watching the oil temp, oil pressure, and coolant temp levels on the driver information screen. At high idle the oil pressure was 55 psi and I watched the oil temp climb to 116f and the coolant temp climb to 140f where the high idle kicked off. I watched the oil pressure slowly drop to 38 psi where it stayed at low idle. I revved the engine up back to the high idle level and saw 55 psi again before dropping back to 38 psi. So the question is, shouldn't 38 psi at low idle be sufficient to properly lubricate all the moving parts in an engine with clean oil and filter?
Great information. There is one more point, I set a colder thermostat to 82' and the oil temperature also decreased by an average of 10', respectively, the oil pressure also increased slightly. Before 27.5Psi do33.5Psi Idling. I also wanted to buy this pump 10452HV But I don’t know how, I’m in Kazakhstan

What would be considered high idle time. Is something like remote starting in the winter for 5 minutes a bad idea?
more like a cop car idling for 2 hours every day, or a taxi cab... How many hours idle time did you cumulate so far? 2000, 10000 ?
No it's talking 20 to 30 minutes a day adds up an will ruin your hemi but 5 minutes is fine

The 5.7 was removed from a 05 Durango and it has about 180k miles on it and it's starting to feel it's age. After following your videos I did a cam/lifter/Hellcat pump upgrade on my 2014 Ram. I like the Eagle power so much better than the early 5.7 that it just seems natural that the Dakota would benefit from the Eagle heads/intake/pitons, 6.1 cam and Eagle exhaust manifolds. Thanks!
Melling! I have 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 5.7 Hemi, which would probably benefit from it! Thank you Sky for the great content!
Melling!!! Would be awesome to finally get that on my 6.1, I had a lifter failure earlier this year and did the whole cam swap in my driveway, using your videos to help me through it all. Thanks for the info and chance!
Awesome video! I’ve had my Hellcat oil pump on my ‘13 Durango for almost two months and no check engine light.
I have been watching you for awhile now, And appreciate your expertise on all these Hemi engines. I am a old school motor head from the Gary Worth Chrysler Plymouth days in Gladstone Or. I would love to put one of these M342HV pumps on my 2006 5.7 Ram. Thank You for your time ! God bless America ! Have a Merry Christmas ! Kurt V.
Awesome! Please give us an oil pump install video!
Melling
A old school trick I have done for more oil to the cam on other engines, is make a hollow track in the lifter bore towards the bottom.
But just thinking I could cut a small track on the bottom of the lifter from the main oil groove
This should feed the roller without loosing oil pressure
Let me know what you think
Can't wait for the install. I have an 06 Magnum SRT8. Melling
Melling. Love the channel. Long time subscriber. Keep up the great content.
Melling. Thanks for showing the model number for the early gen III
Melling.
Thanks for all you do and your videos have been a big help with my Ramcharger project.
A Melling pump would be awesome for my 6.1 I really enjoy your videos as a Mopar guy. Keep up the great content. Cheers!
Melling Melling MELLING I love the videos I first started watching two years ago when I to my 08 Dodge 2500. It developed a minor tick last year and I just haven't had the time or money to get it fixed. Watching your videos has really helped me understand the 5.7 hemi. I plan to get a cam and lifters by the end of next year with a high volume oil pump. the truck has 207K on it.
Melling, Your videos have been really helpful, looking to possibly do a cam install on my challenger soon and your install videos have been just what I need!
Thank you for these videos. Very informative. In your opinion would raising the idle RPM while using the stock oil pump provide the same benefit as upgrading to a higher volume pump? Thanks again!
Melliing,
6.1 srt8 magnum. Just in time for a cam/valve seal upgrade.
Getting ready to do head gaskets on my 05 300c 5.7 with close to 200k miles, a Melling HV oil pump would be a nice addition.
Melling would make my Magnum RT even more of a magnificent MOPAR!
That is awesome Sky, great information and great to know Melling has that option!
Question Dude,
Why is a 5.7 Durango rated at 360hp and a 5.7 Ram rated at 395hp?
Where is the extra hp coming from in a Ram 5.7?
What would it take to make up the 35hp difference?
Keep up the great work!!🤘🤘
Great video and info , love how you are determined to help fix the hemi tick as Chrysler didn't give a crap about it and continued to sell the hemi engine with that flaw.
I have a question for you what are chances that my 6.4 with 25k miles on it would have that problem i think i might be hearing something like it thanks
If it spends an abundance of time at low rpm or idle it's well on its way to failure.
Melling!
Love your videos and the wisdom you provide!
Hey excellent tutorial
Melling is the way to go
I would go with a High Volume pump , cam and lifters.
Melling.
Thanks for all you do Sky.
Apparently they have the m452HV, standard pressure, doesn't come with the high pressure spring for a little cheaper
Thanks for the update. Melling has always made great products.
Melling. Cheers to any winner, Iove the updates and post as always!
I own a 2022 Power Wagon that I regularly change the oil and never let idle for an extended time as, since I've been told will help prevent the dreaded Hemi 'Tic'. We had our first cold morning of the 2025 Winter yesterday here in North Texas so I did a little experiment: started the engine and sat in the cab watching the oil temp, oil pressure, and coolant temp levels on the driver information screen. At high idle the oil pressure was 55 psi and I watched the oil temp climb to 116f and the coolant temp climb to 140f where the high idle kicked off. I watched the oil pressure slowly drop to 38 psi where it stayed at low idle. I revved the engine up back to the high idle level and saw 55 psi again before dropping back to 38 psi. So the question is, shouldn't 38 psi at low idle be sufficient to properly lubricate all the moving parts in an engine with clean oil and filter?
Melling its a sign was just looking into getting a high volume pump for my 04 good luck to all and thanks for the video
Melling! Thanks for the video. I go with the Melling water pumps for the 5.7 also, one of the few places I will use aftermarket instead of OEM
I have used HVmelling in the past😊
This is so funny, I just purchased this pump based on my own researches. That mean it has your approvals that makes it even better.
Melling
Looking forward to seeing your builds.
@Melling Melling, I have always had great results with Melling Parts! Love this! ❤
Already bought mine a while back with melling because of your channel but mine is for a 05. Keep it up, love the content 👍
Great information. There is one more point, I set a colder thermostat to 82' and the oil temperature also decreased by an average of 10', respectively, the oil pressure also increased slightly. Before 27.5Psi do33.5Psi Idling. I also wanted to buy this pump 10452HV But I don’t know how, I’m in Kazakhstan
Will this install void a factory warranty? I see some hemi owners swear by 5w30 weight oil. Your thoughts? Thank You.
Don’t do this
