Question Fuel injectors

I have a 05 ram 1500 5.7 and I've been hearing a loud ticking sound coming from the engine bay and I was wondering what he hell could be! Maybee the injectors? If so what shoud I get for replacements?

It is comon for injectors to click everytime they pulse. Injector noise would almost sound like rolling your tonge on the roof of your mouth....i wonder how many are gonna actually do this that read this...lmao They click at a rapid pace because there are multiple injectors that are firing at diff times. They do not need replacement becasuse of that.
If the noise is a slower but steady..tick..tick..tick, then it could be numerous things such as lifter noise, valve noise..etc.,
Unless it is a knocking noise, I wouldn't be too paranoid.
