What parts do I need?
Ok so I still have the tick and I accept that no combination of oil/filter/mechanic in a bottle is gonna help my situation. With that out of the way I was thinkin bout taking the top pans off and having a look at the valve springs/push rods/rocker arms etc... I'm pretty sure that I can do that part ok but what are some things I need to look for or measurements I should take? I understand that the consensus around DF is that the valve stem guides need to be increased - is this possible to do without removing the heads? I read elsewhere that the pushrods may be a hair too short as well. Is it possible to remove the push rods without removing the heads?
Thanks

There was a thread over on DT where the Chrystler engineers issued a case number on the issue and found in some cases the valve guides had too much play and some exh valves needed to be replaced. Some people had used slightly longer push rods and also solved thier issues. But overall, this is something that guys have resolved.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess as long as the truck doesen't develop any major problems I should just suck it up and put the hammer down - maybe crank the radio too Just seems odd for such an awesome truck to sound like an old beater. Anyone know if the 09's are developing the same noise?
