Just the lifters bleeding down. More than likely nothing to worry about.

What you are hearing is the famous Hemi tick. This has been an issue in some engines since the 5.7 came out, and it will not hurt anything. I have it in my Challenger, but not in the 07 Ram.

I use Rislone engine treatment and it helps with the tick to reduce it way down..every time I change oil/filter I add 1/2 QT Rislone to 7 qts fresh oil. I also use MOPAR oil filters.
