Ram 3500 Camshaft
In Ram 3500 vehicles, the camshaft performs the function of regulating the operation of the intake as well as the exhaust valves to admit the AF mixture and release fuel gases. Usually made of iron or steel, the Ram 3500 camshaft works under various systems such as the Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam (SOHC) and the Double Over Head Cam (DOHC) which affect the performance in various ways. Performance camshafts, which can be applied to modified Ram 3500 models, have greater lift and longer duration, improving the flow of fresh atmospheric and combustion gases, and the power output, primarily at high crank revolutions per minute. Other parameters like LSA or Lobe separation angle also influence torque and idle thus catering the exact performance requirement of a vehicle. Altogether, the camshaft is critically important for the effective functioning of the Ram 3500's engine as well its performance levels.
