    Appreciate the blue collar man format. The technical videos are nice sometimes, but having a good ole boy talk truck is what I need sometimes. I made a video about the blazer and the zr2 model not having access to the rear glass actuator because there were no other videos about it. And I’m no mechanic lol but apparently it helped some folks out. Thanks dude

    You da man. I was fortunate the broken exhaust stud fell out on the concrete when I took it apart. I used shorty headers with 5.4 liter ford stainless studs and cerrated nickel nuts to put it back together with oem gaskets. Never use aftermarket gaskets.

    Man. i got a 2001, 4.6 L 2v mustang GT. It ticks like this and goes away once I'm down the road for awhile. I figure if it was a rod knock it wouldn't go away. I guess it could be my lash adjusters/lifter. But I'm really leaning toward exhaust manifold.

    @benjaminchavez7884 Před rokem +2

    I have a 5.7 hemi and it never ticks on a cold start, it’s intermittent and it’ll tick whenever it wants to, usually when it’s warmed to optimum temperature it’ll tick while driving. I’m driving it goes away for a while and then it’ll just come back out of no where. I have no idea what it could be. I’m thinking a lifter, camshaft, or valve spring.

    • @autoguydiy4244
      @autoguydiy4244  Před rokem

      Could be insignificant oil pressure or a dirty journey in the engine not letting proper oil circulation while driving. Most likely a lifter

  • @nyacoustics8373
    @nyacoustics8373 Před rokem +2

    do lifter ticks quiet down after the car warms up? I hear ticking up top from both sides of the engine. it takes a good 10 plus minutes of warming up before it disappears. Sounds more like metal clattering by the valve covers. i do have the CEL with the vsc, traction and anti skid lights on a lexus v8.

    • @autoguydiy4244
      @autoguydiy4244  Před rokem

      Sometimes the journey in the push rod get wore down on the top end. When the oil is cold it's a little thicker. Once it warms up and the oil thins down it passes through the journey and the tick goes away

  • @3elasm
    @3elasm Před 11 měsíci +2

    I've checked my manifold screws and at least one of them is broken it sounds like your white truck, so I supposed that mi tick is an exhaust leak, but the difference is it never stops no matter if the truck is cold or not the tick is always present, do you recommend to start checking the lifters and tensioner or start with the manifold?

    • @autoguydiy4244
      @autoguydiy4244  Před 11 měsíci

    I already did my manifolds and replaced with headers. Now I'm having a noise on the passenger side from the valve area, not sure if its valvetrain or not. Kind kinda sounds clacky, only on passenger side. Getting a fresh oil change and adding marvel magic to rule out stuck valve.
    What else do you think it might be? The only from one side thing has me confused.

    We just started getting this ticking/rattling.onlt happens after the truck is warm, never at a idle.seems to be after about 15-20 mph. Took it in. They did what they call a preferred oil change and clean the injectors and something on the exhaust that was rusted through. They said it fixed the problem.

    My 04 3.7 Dakota has a noise. It’s like a tick and knock it’s pretty loud. Sometimes there all the time, sometimes I can’t hear it. I replaced my passenger lifter last September and then just did the driver side ones a day ago. Noise is still there. Was told by a few people including an ex dodge tech that isn’t not a rod knock. It’s got 263k miles. I don’t know what else it would be because it doesn’t got away when warm. It’s just sometimes not there.

    Had a new blueprint 400 stroked put into my 81 trans am, just recently changed the oil cause my break in fluid ran low and thought the tick at idle along with RPM would go away. Hoping it’s not a lifter tick, does tick at warm up and along with the idle while driving especially when at slow speed, a good mechanic I know did look at it and says it’s an exhaust leak from the headers but did kind of get worse overtime and getting it fixed soon.

    See I have a 2004 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi with 120k miles original owner always ran synthetic oil since day one
    But Thursday I was driving into work and lost some of the power and sounded like a bad header leak when I gave it gas I'm getting a knocking sound from the top center of my motor every 5 Seconds. It's not a rapid knock but it sounds like it's coming right in front of the throttle body like somebody's hitting the plastic top right the Center and when I give it gas it doesn't increase the knocking either. Also lost some of Heating in the truck thermostat dropped a little but oil pressure is great zero lost in antifreeze and can't figure out what it is. Any kind of help would be great. Thanks

    A screw in a terminal is a band aid that's why its wrong, But the fact is we don't have unlimited money like they think so i cant replace an engine every day i feel like it, nor can i fix evey little thing going on on my truck. Im coming up on 400k miles, you best belive im right there with ya if i got a loose terminal, im going to my leaky rear tire, pulling the screw in the tred out and putting it in my terminal and calling it a day. Then i can use my 6 year old plug kit and pop the 10th plugin that 12 year old tire.

    Good info bro. But what if the tick comes half way through warming up, then upon revving it it goes faster, then it goes away fast as well. I really appreciate it bro. Stay safe

      Sound like a lifter is loosing pressure. Once you Rev it up the pressure returns tick goes away. Check exhaust system really well for any major leaks. Exhaust leaks are very deceiving when it comes to diagnosing a tick
