Non MDS Lifter Camshaft Head Gasket For Dodge Ram 1500 Aspen 2009 2015 5 7 Hemi

Product Overview

This kit includes a performance camshaft, non-MDS hydraulic roller lifters, and MLS head gaskets engineered for 5.7L Hemi engines. It eliminates the factory Multiple Displacement System (MDS) to prevent common lifter failure and cam lobe wear, making it ideal for high-mileage Hemi rebuilds and MDS-delete conversions. The non-MDS cam lift profile delivers consistent power without cylinder deactivation.

Key Features & Performance

• Complete MDS-delete solution: eliminates troublesome MDS lifters and solenoid-related failures
• Performance camshaft grind maintains stock idle quality while supporting higher RPM reliability
• Non-MDS hydraulic roller lifters reduce valvetrain friction and improve durability over factory MDS lifters
• Multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets provide a tight seal under high combustion pressures
• Direct bolt-in installation with stock timing components and pushrods (tuning recommended)

Fitment & Compatibility

• 2009–2015 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi
• 2009 Chrysler Aspen 5.7L Hemi
• Also fits 2011–2015 Ram 1500 Classic and other 5.7L V8 Hemi platforms (confirm engine code)

Common Uses

• MDS delete conversions for Ram 1500 trucks
• Replacement of failed lifters and camshaft in high-mileage 5.7 Hemi engines
• Valvetrain refresh during head gasket replacement
• Performance street builds where MDS is not desired
• Fleet vehicle maintenance to reduce MDS-related downtime

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a tuner after installing this kit? A: Yes, a custom tune is required to disable the MDS function in the ECU and adjust fuel/timing maps for the non-MDS cam profile.

Q: Will this kit cause a rough idle? A: No, the included camshaft is designed with a mild lobe profile that maintains near-stock idle quality and driveability.
