It's a 2004 durango limited, 5.7l hemi engine and when I started it, it just started making a loud ticking noise
You sure its lifters not exhaust leak , those hemi s are known for broken exhaust studs,if the lifters r noisey try some 5/20 oil

Your lifters have become clogged over the years. Its only after the oil warms up and thins out does it allow oil to "pump up" the lifters. That's why it goes quiet after 5 min. There are several different brands of additives on the market that can fix this problem ,unless you have a more serious mechanical problem, which I doubt.Check your local auto parts store for the additive. Just add it to your oil and "wham!" problem solved. Good Luck!

How long have you ran the engine ? I know that they will run rough and sometimes make strange noises for a few secounds or a little bit untill everything get oiled up again. I would make sure all the push rods are back in the right place and that all the lifters are tight.

Check the Alternator / Powersteering belts .
One of them will be damaged and loose.
Hope this helps.

Simply remove the valve covers and adjust the lifters with the proper feeler guage.A cheap repair manual like Haynes will show you how to do this

No I would not chase to the pistons, these vehicle were very comon in creating HLA noise hydraulic lash adjusting valves, meaning the valves pump up with oil as the oil gets thinner they dont pump up as fast and create a very loud ticking noise, I would not express a great concern over simplicity, dodge was famous for this, they really were.
