5.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee lifter failure 2011 –

[Greg]

I had the same issue a few months ago. 2011 grand Cherokee, 90k miles, well maintained, lifter took out the cam lobe. To make things worse, parts weren’t available to fix. After waiting a month on back ordered Mopar parts, and barrowing a friends car, I agreed to installing after market lifters and cam. Immediately one lifter wouldn’t hold pressure and ticked. The shop replaced one side of lifters, and tick was gone. Now I’ve got 2500 miles on these lifters, and they bleed down when sitting overnight. It seems these aftermarket lifters are crap, so I’ll have to pay to redo, again! Not happy
