Dodge Ram 2500 Pushrod
The Dodge Ram 2500 Pushrod is the essential connection between the camshaft and the valve, allowing each cylinder the opportunity to draw breath at the correct time and produce torque. The narrow steel Ram 2500 Pushrod, which moves between the lifter (also called a follower) and rocker arm, as per the typical OHV configuration found on many Dodge engines, is responsible for carrying the upward lift of the cam lobe. This allows intake and exhaust valves to open and close and maintain tight sealing in the combustion chamber. The earlier engine designs in the Ram 2500 use the overhead valve system exclusively, while later designs that use an overhead camshaft to operate the valves directly delete the Pushrod altogether. This is the main design divide. A sufficient valve lash and healthy springs will ensure the Pushrod on any Dodge diesel or gas version remains straight. If clearance is excessive or contact is made with the piston, the Pushrod will bend. If that happens, the user will experience ticking noises and misfires with a loss of power. Upon wear setting in, a new Pushrod reinstates smooth functioning and reinforces the rugged simplicity that allows Dodge trucks to deliver the dependability that Ram 2500 owners expect from their rigs.
