I'm still new to the truck I have had it for a few months now I just noticed tonight after taking it out there is a slight ticking no i justise along with some belt noise. It can only be heard from the outside of the truck. It sounds louder when you are standing to the side of it. I guess I just want to make sure I'm not being overly paranoid and that this is maybe just normal engine noise.
slight ticking
- Thread starter ninj
- Start date
Injectors and lifters X 10 equals noisy.....but should be in concert.(no solos)
Is there another truck (or viper) around to compare? I was the same way when I first listened to the engine...but Yup there is a lot of ticking going on.

I'm out in LA. The slight ticking noise is normal. As previously stated it's a good idea to compare with a different truck. If you're in LA then we can do a side by side comp.
It should "NOT" sound like a diesel!!! if it has a slight "KNOCK" get it checked out. I hate that sound!!:elefant::elefant::elefant: I need nitrous to keep up with some of the 1 ton trucks around here!!:chain:
I'm getting ready to go on vacation this Thursday. I will try and Post a video. When I get back fom vacation I mite try comparing mine to another. I will the video after work
Probably be easier then trying to describe it.

I have had all kinds of people (who thought they knew what they were talking about) say somethin about the ticking noise in mine. It made me extremely paranoid until everyone on this on this site put me to ease. Its definitely the lifters. If you wanna drown out the noise, put a nice catback on. Tony is the man and he will hook you up. JTSVP.com :rock:
It will quiet down a lot if you put some 15-50 in it.
Thanks you for the advice my brother, I will have to give that a shot. I think mine became a little quieter after I started changing my own oil and noticed that whoever was changing my oil wasn't using a viper filter (only filter I use now). I'm use to working in places with sewing machines and strangely the lifters sound quite similar. LOL
im sure im just being paranoid, but i will def give the oil change a chance. The guy that owned it before me said he always took it to the dealer to have the oil changed and always had 10-30 in it. I really appreciate all the help guys thanks alot.

Not sure what the guy before me used as far as oil but since I've gotten it I use synthetic at the weight that's recommended for our trucks and I have 120,xxx k miles with no issues.
