I was driving my truck hard weird noise engine went dead it dosent crank now just backfires through intake truck is 05 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7l hemi

get the codes from the ecm.most parts store will do that for free and ask what the code is.

Check engine compression and compare. then test running engine compression most engines have about 130-170 cranking compression and about 90-110 running compression. OR bring that cylinder to its Top Dead Center compression stroke apply air to the cylinder and check to see where the air is going open throttle plate bad intake valve, from exhaust pipe bad exhaust valve, from oil cap piston rings.

you may just have bad u-joints they can cause vibration when driving you can or may hear a clunking sound when you put it in gear.

Not the EGR Valve cut off the engine

Have to buy and install a new radiator
Order at local radiator repair shop
do yourself

i have the same truck with hemi and i notice alot of power after i put on a cold air intake and i did a cheap one, i know the hemis say they have alot of power but i still think diesel is always the way to go when pulling..

spray starting fluid into the air intake, if it starts your electric fuel pump has failed, let me know what u find.

The EGR on my 05 Hemi Durango is located on the passenger side front of the engine near the head.

I would bet your Ram is the same or close to it.

pain in the ****. but can be done. its located on the rear of the motor on the drivers side compartment. it has 2 bolts that holds it down to the intake. it has a tube from the to the exhaust manafolds. I seen this problem alot lately.

sounds like u might have a sticking valve. i do know that they have had alot of valve problems with this motor

Rings & bearings & oil pump need urgent attention!
