Message:
I have an 02 Dodge Dakota quad cab, 4x4, 4.7L V8 with 120k miles. I have just yesterday developed a small engine tick in the right rear of the engine. You only hear the tick when you start the engine. You hear it for about half a mile or so, then it goes away. it does escelate as you accelerate. Then after the 1/2 mile it goes away and you don't hear it again till you start the truck again. I have no noticable difference in power at all. Its like maybe that valve or lifter isn't getting enough oil right away or something like that. I'm no mechanic, so I have no idea what this might be.
Does anybody have an idea what i'm looking at with this problem?
Thanks, Ryan
