The engine is making a weird noise like a ticking noise. At around 3 weeks ago when I would go to starty the truck and put it in reverse the truck would act like it was going to stall. Now like I said I have this ticking noise and the engine seems like it looses power once in a while, like when I stop at a stop sign and go again it feels like I have a 4 cyl. Oh and by the way its a 2004 hemi ram 1500. Any thoughts?

 

mine does the sae thing, it ticks louder up to about 2500 rpm then you can't hear it so muc but that might just be becasue the exhaust drowns i t out at that point .. i thought my valves were gunked up but i got some cleaner and it didn'et do squat .. mines an 03 4.7

 

Check your air filter box... maybe theres a bomb....But unless you find a bomb... IT's pretty much normal... just seems louder at times...

 

So I shouldn't have it looked at or should I? It is alot different then from when I first got it. Maybe its time to trade up and buy a new one?

 

mine defintely hasn't been there forever, and it always there now, somethin is definitely wrong inside, its absolutely horribe at start up

 

I agree, I think just to make sure I am going to have it checked out. I don't want anything worse to happen to it so we will see.

 

Well... i had am 05 that did it... had it at the dealer.. .they said they do it...i know have an 07 Hemi.... still have it... so trading up is'nt gonna help your case.... But i have been in other rams that do it... so hopefully this puts your mind at ease...

 

yeah mine has done it since i bought the truck new in 2004 and every one i've worked on since then or have rode in has had the same noise...seems pretty normal

 

go to the dealersip and ask for the tsb flash to fix hesitation and or stalling. should fix ou up.
