Default Fixed ticking sound from engine

Just wanted to say thanks to the members who told me to go to the dealer and demand they replace my manifold bolts to stop the ticking sound.
Had to get an old mechanic to verify that was the problem from listening to it. Had to fight with the manager to get them to do it for free... and throw in a loaner for 3 days.
Problem developed with suspension after I picked up the truck... rides rougher than the 2500 I traded this in for.
76000 miles; 2009 1500 Laramie auto quad cab. Like new (but used for work as a contractor)
Any suggestions?

Rough ride from a 1500? I'd check the shocks and make sure they are not shot/sticking.

That seems pretty odd. Is it possible they increased your tire pressure while they were servicing it? Sometimes service techs go through and do simple maintenance stuff like that (and topping off fluids, checking tire tread depth, etc.) at the end of servicing the vehicle and maybe they just put too much in. Unlikely, but something to look into.
