i did end up replacing the tps sensor because when i first start the truck and take off it would act coldnatured not wanting to take fuel but if i let off the gas then hit it again it was fine. scanner indicated a bad tps 38 bucks runs great but still has that blasted tick lol

the tick is gone, my guess is that the truck has sat for quite a while and had a lifter sticking. i ran some marvel mystery oil through it and no more tick.
i couldnt be happier with my truck, we got 2in of ice and 5 1/2 in of snow droped on us last night here in kentucky and that dodge realy go,s in the snow and ice
