I think that the tick is more common with the 5.7s. My 6.1 doesn't have it. I use Mobil 1 0W-40, per factory specs.
Sorry you're experiencing this! Shoot us a PM if you need help with anything and I'd be glad to look into it for you. Steph DodgeCares We'd be glad to look into this for you as well! Our PMs are open if you'd like to speak further Steph DodgeCares
i am a tech for JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM. i have a 12 R/T classic. most of the tick noises we hear have been camshafts on MDS equipped engines. i have yet to see it on an EZC motor.( stick w/o mds) we have also heard valve guides. if you have a miss accompanying the tick, more than likely a worn cam lobe. if not, probably a valve guide, requiring a head replacement. maybe you can turn this into a positive opportunity and try a mod you may have been thinking of. BEST OF LUCK, STEVE.
I just replaced all the plugs it was doing it before I changed them and still does after but it does kinda go away when I give it gas and comes back especially when I shift
Thanks and I'm not sure if it's a miss that is causing this but it sounds like a popping noise coming from the back of the car it doesn't always do that though just every once in a while so if it was a miss wouldn't it be more consistent
This doesn't sound encouraging. Mine's had a tick since day 1 as a new car. A bad camshaft???? I'm not going to spend $100 for the service agreement deductible on a 4 yr old car with 9,000 miles to have the dealer tell me it's normal. I'll let mine go until it blows up.
