Ram 2500 Pushrod
The reliable and robust Ram 2500 Pushrod construction allows the heavy-duty truck to build torque and power effectively. Within the Ram V8 OHV engine, the Pushrod assembly functions above the camshaft that is in the block, sending the lobe's lift through lifters to rocker arms, which tip the intake and exhaust valves, so compression remains strong and exhaust gases flow smoothly. Earlier generations of Ram 2500 applied the same OHV layout. But under threat from emissions legislation, later gasoline versions keep the same design. The reason is that the short, stiff Pushrod design is well-suited to tall cylinder blocks and makes head construction easy compared with overhead cam setups. This Pushrod configuration did not change much due to its robustness. The only real difference is the materials, as long-bed 2500 models use hardened steel rather than older alloys to withstand miles of heat and pounding that might otherwise bend a Pushrod and upset the valve lash. As wear increases, additional clearance can generate a ticking sound or misfires and valve to piston contact. This is why factory-spec lash and healthy springs are important for any Ram 2500 that needs its Pushrod system to stay in harmony during towing or spirited driving.
