yup got a good ole ticking noise crawled under my truck and it sounds like its coming around the oil pan any one got any ideas on how to fix ig to 156K miles and i run full synthetic 5w30 royal purple any suggestions on a differnt oil for next oil change?? any ideas might help

 

Lucas Oil Stabilizer - Synthetic.

 

Not sure if switching from royal purple to lucas would solve any tick issues like that, sincce they are both well lubriccated as it is...

Not sure if I have any answer from what it may be.. have you actually tried taking a wooden dowel and listening to it? it may be catching a rebound off the side of the engine, because with a slight ticking the immediate thought I have would be spark plugs (try pulling off the plugs and re-applying them with firm force) or a slight exhaust leak.

 

well i guess the ticking can stay i can deal with it ima stay with the royal purple and after this next oil change order a scream demon coil pack new spark plugs and plug wires and if that dont stop it thenn.... screw it.. if it blows she blows.. =...(

 

not a good engine mechanic.... being 17 working at a motorhome BODY SHOP.. kinda leads to only working with fiberglass/bondo/paint and lil metal fab... but but buddy is good with engines you think if i replaced that and buy better internals she would be better then new?

give me some web sites and some goodies i might throw some cash at no turbos or super charges though...

 

hi, my truck was making a ticking sound a couple of weeks ago just like you described. it turned out to just be dirt or something in a lifter. all i did was rev it up and keep it at 2500 rpm and it went away. of course not all problems are the same. i just rebuilt my motor last winter.
