I was just wondering if the ticking sound was ever identified when the truck first starts up (maybe for the first 5-10 minutes). I have an -04 Hemi with ~140K miles and a wonderful new tick sound....gotta love it

Well mine ticks, but only when then engine is cold. When it warms up, it's quiet as a mouse. It started ticking around 6K miles and now I have 32K on it, and the ticks haven't gotten any louder. I believe the tick is caused by excessive valve stem clearance when the engine is cold.
