Loud Ticking Sound after 15 miles at 65 miles per hour
I have an 87 Bronco II - 2.9L. It runs fine on local runs, but when i run on the expressway after about 15 miles it starts ticking like a time bomb. If i get off the exit, the ticking goes away within a mile. Only ticks when running on the expressways for extended mileage with speeds above 60. I have replaced the oil pump, thought the valves might not be releasing and got me up to the 15 miles. You started ticking at 5-7 miles before the oil pump. Any suggestions???
