MY GOAT HAS 50K MILES, SHOULD IT BE DOING THIS? I DID A FRESH OIL CHANGE 5W 30 CASTROL BUT SHOULD I RUN SYNTHETIC????????? THE TICKING GOES AWAY AFTER ITS WARMED UP

 

Mine is there when its cold. It stops for about a week after an oil change and then starts back up. And it doesnt go away even when the truck is warmed up, just in cold weather it ticks. Its not too bad but I can notice it. Mine has 95,000 miles tho but noticed it at about 78,000. I heard some Lucas oil works good to get rid of it for awhile.

 

I just started a slight ticking in mine, I have 95000 miles on it.

 

68k here and i have a tick as well but once the truck is warmed up it goes away

 

WELL HELL!!!!!!! GUESS ILL RUN HER TIL SHE BLOWS

 

I have the same problem ... just started about two weeks ago (was very cold around here ... like 10 degrees). I am just about due for an oil change so I guess I will do that and see if that helps at all. I always run Mobil 1 Synthetic.

 

I also had a lifter tick in my 1990 ranger and ran her until 160,000 with no problems. I was told it wont hurt it.

 

All you need to check the gap onyour lifters and rockers. it ticks in the cold and start up because the gap is too big and you have no or low oilpressure. I had a 90' dakotathat did the some thank.

 

or you you need a new lifter

 

TO DO THAT ISNT THAT A PRETTY BIG OR DEAL TO CHECK GAP..... ITS THE WHOLE HAVING A NEWER TRUCK THAT I PAY 400 A MONTH FOR AND THE THING SOUNDS LIKE A ****BOX. I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT IF I HAD A WARRANTY BUT IM STILL WAITING ON A PHONE CALL
