three main causes for ticking from least expensive to most:
-loose spark plug
-bad exhuast gasket or pin holes in the headers/manifolds
-lifters

there is some basic trouble shooting that can be done to determine what the issue is. My opinion, is that If I cannot do my own work, then I bring it to a dealer.

Good luck

yea well i brought it to family auto, they listened to it and said to put in marvel mystery fluid, told me to check back with them after i did that and send me on my way... i have yet to put anything in motor..

the problem i have is, i bought this truck brand new, never late on oil changes, never ragged it out, i take care of my things, and now it is "ticking"

I do not want my $40K truck to be making noises that it is not supposed to be making.
