03 4.7 V8 Dakota is making Knocking/Ticking Sound.
My 03 4.7 V8 Dakota is making Knocking/Ticking Sound. I have taken off the valve covers to check the rocker arms and everything looks good. I have also checked the Exhaust and don't see or feel any leaks. I have posted a video on you tube of the noise it is making. Any suggestions would be awesome.

I also took the stethoscope to the engine today again. I still cant find area that is making the sound without a doubt. It looks like the noise it loudest when I touch the tip of the probe to the valve covers on each side over the chains on top. It is also around the same volume when I touch it to the exhaust mounts on each side on the bottom. I also patched up the holes in the exhaust toward the back of the tail pipe and banged a lot of crap out of the Cat-Con and the Muffler. I am 95% sure the noise is not coming from the compressor or the pulley bearing. I drove it around for a few hours this morning before doing all this work to it and noticed the noise does get a bit better the longer I have been driving it (hotter?). Does this info help anyone?

Have you removed the belt and checked the tensioner pulley? Check all the other pulley while you have it off. Some might suggest to start it and see if it still does it but I personally don't like to do it.
Just trying to give some suggestions to try that would be a whole lot cheaper first.
