Dodge Ram Camshafts

Simply put, the camshaft is a long metal rod of a specific configuration atop the cylinders of your Dodge Ram. As the camshaft rotates, its oblong protruding parts (they are also called ‘lobes’) press on valves in turn and hold them open for certain time. The camshaft is synchronized with the crankshaft using a timing chain or belt, so the air-fuel mixture is sent to each cylinder at the right moment. Exhaust gases leave cylinders in a similar way. Made of cast iron, camshafts are supposed to be extremely strong and light. Unfortunately, lack of proper maintenance and insufficient lubrication may lead to premature wear of lobes and a consequent drop in engine performance and fuel efficiency.

When choosing a replacement camshaft and/or related components for your truck, always take into consideration that the condition of this part is directly affected by the extreme temperature and continual friction. So, it is recommended that you opt for quality products that resist these factors and rely on such trustworthy manufacturers as Melling, Mopar, Sealed Power, Dorman, and Beck Arnley.
