ok guys i got my 01 ram with 360, today i put in some chevron injector cleaner cuz i had alot of friends recommend it to me. and a few days ago i got a new alternator and belt idk if thats the problem but, today after putting in cleaner i took it out to run it through a little and i was noticing a change within 15 minutes or so. So i decided to get on it a little bit and ended up racin a few people and now theres a decently loud ticking noise coming from what sounds to be inside the engine...idk what in the world it is but i really need it to be somthing simple...sounds like a little tick and can hear it very well with hood open, i really have no clue i dont know much about engine im a body fab guy thats why i joined these forums! so please helm or give me some suggestions thanks, cody.
Could be a lifter, exhaust leak, wire arc, timing gear, rocker arm, etc. It's very hard to tell from here. How many is a few races, and how hard, and long did you run it.
it does it at a steady knock..knock...knock exact timing apart...and idk if it does it while driving my exhaust is to loud but idling is where i started to hear it...also i didnt fill up after usin cleaner i put it in with little under half and didnt fill it back up.
