Valve Clatter?
I am not sure if thats what its called, but at times, under light acceleration... i can hear the ticking from the valve-train. but not noticeable at all times, seems more like when its cold. I don't have engine knock, and I have not seen oil pooling.
Is this common for the 5.9 w/115K? Is this a sign of the plenum gasket going? I do not consume much oil, maybe 1qt in 3500miles (I typcially change it at 3000-3500).
I had another Ram owner in the family said theirs went away after they had their timing chain replaced.

if its like the valves rattling ussually that is heard in mild to hard acceleration and a couple tanks of 93 octane clears that up for a while and timming chain ussually sounds off when you first start it up, so idunno not very familiar with mopar motors.
