I have 2009 2500 ram I just bought it, and was wondering if I have a bad exhaust manifold gasket or stud. I have read about the hemi tick, and I don't think that is what this is. It is only on the driver side. It is hard to hear in the video you can hear it most at the end of the video. I am taking it in tomorrow to see what can be done. By the way I have a 18" magnaflow muffler on it so that kind of is drowning out the tick a little.

Thanks

 

2009 2500 is a Gen 3, you're in the wrong forum

 

I know I have a 3rd gen body, but my hemi is a VVT 4th Gen 383 hp 400 torque. I have the build sheet from Dodge. I figured since I have the new VVT motor this would be where to post this.

Is that not correct?

Thanks

 

Can't hear anything identifiable in that clip just a ton of noise.

 

I know it kind of sucks.

I wish I could get a better video. It sounds like a ticking sound on the driver side right under the floor board, and in the wheel well. The best I can hear it in the video is at the very end when I went back to the drivers side.

 

Does it get louder if you rev the engine or does it go away?

 

grab another hemi just about any one of them has a tick like that

 

Yes, but I really notice it when there is a load on the motor from 1,000 rpm up to 3,000 rpm with the driver side window down. I don't hear it on the other side.

Maybe it is just normal I have only owned Dodge cummins diesel trucks before. After my nightmare of a 6.7, I had to get rid of it quick so I bougth this Hemi as I don't pull near as big of loads as I use to or as often.

I had to put over $5,000 of my own money in my 6.7 turbo issues, egr, dpf, G56, clutch. This is even after I deleted it at 3,500 miles.

Sorry for the rant, anyways back to my hemi worry

 

That kind of sounds like an exhaust leak to me. My 09 & 11 1500's have a little tick but it goes away if I rev it and I can't here it driving. Even my 02 Silverado does the same thing.

 

Took it in today, and they think it is just the normal hemi tick.
