99 4x4 dakota 5.2 auto ticking
My dakota just started making a ticking sound when it warms up. I dont think its the engine as the sound seems to be coming from the tranny. It happens in all gears including neutral and speeds up with the engine rpms anyone else had this issue and know what it could be?

Could be a few issues. Check your oil pressure make sure your getting proper oil..
Could be a clogged/slightly clogged oil squirt thingy. (Sorry cant think of the technical name) - In-laws has a Olds that requires Super Unleaded; it developed a ticking sound/knocking sound.. they ran some lucus through the oil and unkownling took it in to the shop for harmonic balancer replacement but the tech said theres nothing wrong with it.. must have had some crap clogging a oil squirt thingy .. (Again i'm sorry epic fail here) and issue was resolved.
Other than that.. it could be the PCV valve? I know the stock ones for our engines tick loudly.. rattle loudly I put a different one that was metal body.. less noticeable.
Also.. the ticking of the injectors.. mine tick.. probably the best thing to do is with a mech stethoscope go around the engine with it running and find out the area the sound is coming form then you can get an idea of what it might be.
Oh.. also the belt tensioner also makes a ticking sound as it moves back and forth sometimes.. i know mine does from time to time when its really humid and moist out..
