2022 Ram 1500 Engine Configuration
The 2022 Ram 1500 offers the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter HEMI V8. Both engines can trigger legitimate P0306 codes. Cylinder 6 location differs between engines.
HEMI MDS Considerations
The 5.7L HEMI incorporates Multi-Displacement System that deactivates cylinders including #6 during cruising. MDS solenoid or lifter issues can cause misfire symptoms during cylinder deactivation.
Common Causes
Ignition coil and spark plug wear are common across both engines. The HEMI may exhibit MDS-related issues. Fuel injector problems can cause lean misfires.
