Ok so i replaced my plenum gasket on my 01 dodge ram 1500 5.2 magnum got it all back to gather and started fine and then a ticking noise if i kill it and start it again it goes away for a bit but comes back and starts to get louder any ideas what it could be?

 

try pulling the fan belt off and running it for a couple seconds and see if stays gone

 

so I drove it down the road and my oil pressure was jumping until I loss all oil pressure in all, the trucks motor was full of hard sludge when I pulled the keg off and my guess is some of it found its way in the oil pick up tube and was causing oil shortage to other parts of the motor causing the tick I am waiting on a tow truck now and when I get it home I am gonna drop the oil pan clean the pickup tube and change the filter and oil and I hope it fix it.
