I’ve been having the same issue on my 2015 ram 1500 for a while now, I’ve met a lot of people already that have this same issue some fix it by changing spark plugs and re-gapping others have lifter issues for mine we just figured out that it can be a faulty pcm or the harness that plugs into the cylinder #8, we tested it with a current tester and it showed nothing so it comes out as a dead cylinder. Hopefully you guys can figure it out these trucks are great but I’ve done so much research and talked to so many people that even after a simple spark plug change around 60k miles these cylinder issues start coming out of no where

Did anyone fix the problem can it be the gas pump I changed it last time because I would have to open and close the key to load the pump so the truck would ignite could it be that it’s not getting enough fuel to the fuel injectors and the gas pump is giving me the same issues

I’ve been having the same problem for months. Changed out plugs ( NGK/Autolite iridium), coils, camshaft, crankshaft, pcv sensors, fuel injector for cylinder 8. I have nothing that has worked. Very frustrating.

My 2016 Ram 1500 5.7l hemi threw these same codes shortly after I bought it (March 2020). I did some research and went to my local dealership (not the dealer I purchased it from) and asked if they could look up the service history, I found out that the previous owner had tried to solve the issue but couldn’t get it fixed and traded it in. I assumed that this was going to be an electrical issue so I grabbed some wrenches and a multimeter. I popped the hood and went straight to cyc 8, I noticed the bolts to the coil pack seemed loose not super loose but easy enough that it didn’t “break“ loose. I removed the coils pack and it checked out; I pulled both spark plugs and they appeared newish. I randomly picked cyc 2 and removed it’s coil pack noticing that I had to “break” the bolts loose. I pulled the spark plugs and noticed they looked newish as well. I decided to put the plugs and coil from 8 into 2 and 2 into 8. Having felt that they bolts and plugs appeared to be torqued differently before I grabbed my torque wrench and looked up the torque specs. I torque everything down to spec; cyc 8 proved frustrating but I got the plugs and the bolts torqued to spec. I cleared the codes, started my truck up and everything ran as it should. 7,000 miles later and I haven’t had a single code. Check to ensure that everything is tightened down to spec. Not a guaranteed fix but I spent $0 to fix something that was probably the result of a service tech not using a torque wrench.
