Have a cold start tick in my 4.7 (49,500 miles). A search turned up this thread about it: https://dodgeforum.com/m_555485/tm.htm

In searching I also read about some folks having bolts sheared off the manifolds. I will check that.

I'll just have to keep an eye (err, ear) on it.

 

I seem to have the same issue on my 5.9. I only noticed it after I switched to 92 octane though. Makes me wonder, I think I may go to a 87 tune on my superchip and see if it disappears.

How long does yours last and what does it sound like? Mine just makes a light tick for about 30 seconds.

 

I've never really timed it. Long enough to get backed out of the garage and down the driveway. I only hear it with windows down too.

I'm guessing about 30 seconds.

 

what grade of oil are you using ? some vehicles need a thinner oil in them . If you run a 10w30 the lifters might not be adjusting fast enough . hence the reason they tell ya to use 5w30 or 5w20 . I know i used 10w30 in my sprint ( long time ago ) and it ticked really bad at start up but when i switched to 5w30 tada everything was great !! just my thoughts ??

 

Don't know. It was changed while in the dealer's inventory and I don't know if they did it in house using Mopar oil or if it was farmed out to the quickie lube.

I'm betting on the latter since they forgot the additive for the anti spin.

Probably going to Mobil 1 at 50K (which is about 500 miles from now).

 

keep us updated
good luck
