2002 Durango R/T 5.9.

A ticking noise coming from the motor when in park only. I thought it was the belt, so I replaced that. I also replaced the belt idler pulley. Any other ideas? it is still there. Belt tensioner maybe?

 

hmmm.... check your water pump. mine was ticking right before the pump failed on me.

 

I had to run mine with the belt off for a minute to isolate a noise between the engine and mounted accessories,only ran for about 30 seconds , no noise with the belt off.....My noise seems to be comming from the rear side of my a/c compressor....(long screw driver against the ear or a steth)

Not a good idea at all running with the belt off but it's a fast way to check things off the list....Did you run it before you installed the new belt and pulley?

 

+1 on running it without the belt on for a few minutes to isolate if its the engine or the accessories, just dont drive the truck with the belt off (and i would suggest doing it first thing in the am or at least on a cold engine)

 

Agreed sharp,I did the first in the morn start so I could hear the engine pump up
oil pressure also...def no driving...Hope some of this helps ziggy

 

I've got a slow a/c leak, and the a/c compressor ticks at idle when it gets low. I just turned off the a/c and it goes away.

 

Yep take off the belt and see if the noise is engine or pulley related.

 

First thing I do Just so I don't drive myself nuts hunting a noise....

 

my 5.9 makes a ticking clicking also. Traced the ticking to the passenger side. After listening to everything, I think it is my fuel injectors that is making the ticking/clicking noise.

 

Damper. A whole lot of fun to get to that.
