This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ram dealer.
During cold starts, it sounds like the oil is not reaching the valves for too long. It does not happen all the time, but it's getting too often after 24 months.

Same complain here, heard ticking noise in engine. Dealer fix the problem they replaced passenger camshaft, lifter. I’m glad it’s still under warranty otherwise it will cost me 2-3k for repair.
I just read all the complaints here same problem I hope Chrysler Dodge resolve the problem otherwise some of there customers will shift to other brand.

20 mins after start up, there is a loud clacking noise coming from the engine or transmission. Sounds like I own a diesel. I have had this truck to the dealer over 10 times since purchase for this and other various problems and their answer is always that they cannot reproduce. I will continue to send video to prove problem, but I will never buy another Dodge product again

I purchased my RAM in 2019. It was a great truck, running for about 100,000 miles, but when it reached that mark the engine was destroyed because of the valves. It seems like something was designed to fail in a way that would cause the valves to fail because of lack of lubrication or possibly the lifters they got in the truck are trash sadly I had to replace the engine, and it cost me $10,000, including labor, all paid upfront. Unfortunately, my new engine seems to have the same issue again. RAM is a great-looking truck, but be wary of the technology—it can leave you Stranded and broke This problem may be gone because now they change the engine from a V8 to a V6. You don’t wanna buy a used truck that has a variable valve or MDS, which stands for multi displacement system that will cost this issue.
