Hello Everyone,

Well it's seems that everytime i right something in here its always bad news with my truck... Well here's the deal, just got the truck back from the Dealer after Blowing the Headgaskets. I had them put in as well ARP HEad Studs & The EGR Delete Kit. Motor Is running good, Idle is fine all my aftermarket gauges read Normal & While Driving everything is great!!

But heres the problem, When i REV up the Engine or while Driving i hear a ticking Sound... MAinly sounds Like a LIFTER. Sometimes the sound is there sometimes its not. i brought it back to the dealer today and the MEchanic is Baffled at what it could be.

HAs any had a similar problem??

Could it be that they put in Regular Oil instead of Synthetic that i normally run?

Please Help!!

The truck is a 04 F350 / 6.0l / 100,000 miles

Thanx,
Mike

 

Does it appear to be coming from the drivers side? My has always had a noise like that but appears to be normal. Sometimes sounds a little like an exhaust leak. Good luck.

 

I hear it from the Drivers Side,But when the mechanic was checking and he says he hears it from the passanger side. But i think its coming from the drivers side.

 

Sounds like mine. Like yours, mine has been to the dealer several times and they don't seem to be concerned with it.

 

how long has yours been making that sound for?

 

I bought it used and have put about 6,000 miles on it. I had the oil cooler and EGR cooler replaced right after I bought it and had all the services done at the dealer. It has the latest flash and the guys at the dealer say it sounds normal to them.
