got 95k and she ticks. not to bad but i hear it. some days its better than others but im not bugged by it because this is my 2nd ram so im used to it. honestly i think its a Chrysler thing.

 

Mine ticks until it is warm, it has just over 13000 on it.

 

So everybody is content with the fact their brand new trucks tick??? I just bought my truck with 26,000 miles and it ticks. What can be done to fix this? I guess I've never heard of a newer motor "ticking" before, it's usually something prevalent on motors with high mileage. All I know is that it really bothers me. I paid a lot of money to get into my Ram, hoping to at least be happy that it was noise free.

 

Mine rattles like a bastard under load...pretty quiet at idle though. I chalk it up to crappy quality control/loose clearances which matches the whole cab to bed alignment thing.

 

I guess I'm just confused why everybody is content that their engines all tick. I guess what I'm wondering is that the dealership I bought the truck from isn't going to be able to fix this tick. I didn't really notice it, but both my dad and brother noticed it independently. It's kind of annoying, spent all this money on this fancy truck, yet it has a noise, just like my other ram did.

 

You could always pull the valve covers and see if anything obvious jumps out at ya...or try and get the dealer to do it.

 

That will probably be useless. I bought my truck through a used car dealership, they probably won't even know how to work on a dodge. My 2,000 mile/2month bumper to bumper is with them. My 78,000/7 year warranty is with anybody I want, but I have to pay a $100 deductible. I'll probably get stuck having to get it fixed under my watch.

 

Neon, after listening to your video your hemi tick is much louder than the typical Hemi tick. If mine sounded like that I would get it looked at immediately before my warranty expired. Most trucks with the tick that I have heard are not even close to as loud as yours.

 

I have always used 1 qt. of RISLONE engine treatment in place of 1 qt. of oil. A friend of mine had a Ford Ranger that you would have sworn had a collapsed lifter with the noise it was making, one quart of RISLONE and left it run for 20 minutes and the noise was gone. That had to be well over 5 years ago and his vehicle is still running strong without any noise.

 

Never heard of RISLONE, where can you get it?
