A buddy of mine said to put a bottle of "Lucas" or some oil additive. I bought "STP" oil additive today and getting an oil change on saturday. Not sure if it will work but we will find out. This is on a 4.7L. If it makes a difference.

Get that tick out with a match! lol jk! I was worried when mine did'nt tick! It's def. not the oil filters. I bought a case of MOPAR filters from the stealer on my 1st oil change & I got the tick early on (if not from beginning) They are FOS

My engine is ticking and it's getting louder. I took it to a deler two times, and they said that it's normal for a Hemi to sound like that. I know It didn't do it when I bought the truck; if it did I wouldn't have it right now. Anyways, I hear people changeing to a different oil and it goes away sometimes. I use M1 5w-30. I also hear it's the EGR valve? Just curious if anyone had any input here.
I'm takeing it to a different dealer and see what they have to say. If I can't get it resolved, I may trade it in. I like the truck but the ticking has got ot go. Thanks.

Our '05 Hemi @ 84,000 miles... has ticked since I bought it at around 20,000. Some days it's loud... some days you can't hear it unless the hood is up. Always been told it's normal.
Our '06 Hemi @ 96,000 miles... has a less noticeable tick, but it's there... again... depends on the day.
that's what I can add to this.

Just changed my oil the first time. 5w30 synthetic. Whatever the noise is, it got worse. Don't know what the previous owner used in it. But I am absolutely not changing to a 5w20 for an 03.
That being said, what is the HEMI tick supposed to sound like? And how can one tell if the valve springs are broken?
I want to make sure everything checks out before my power train warranty runs out
