SOURCE: ticking noises only when you start then goes away

Depended on the mileage and if the truck has been worked hard. It could be a few things, A worn out hydraulic lifter, a worn crank bearing, old engine oil that needs to be changed, or maybe a tired oil pump. Try using a stethoscope to narrow down where the ticking noise is loudest. From there you will have a better idea what the cause is. Take a look at the oil pressure, see if it takes to long in the morning for the oil pressure to start building. Every time you look at something different it will help bring you that much closer to the solution.

SOURCE: truck noises

Sounds like lifters are bleeding down. Try doing an oil change with a thicker oil or even go synthetic. I use Lucas oil additive and it seems to work pretty good.

SOURCE: i have a ticking noise

One thing you should get checked is the oil pressure.You could have an oil pump that is going out or getting weak.Also depending on how regular you are with your oil changes it is possible that you could have a sticky lifter.The oil pressure at idle should be 4 psi and 25-80 psi at 3k rpm.If it is less than 4 psi at idle do not do the 3k rpm.This is check with a warm engine.(normal operating temp).Hope this helps.Good luck.

2008 Dodge Nitro A/C only blows High speed and warm air. Speed sounds like the Blower Motor Resistor, but would that cause warm air?

Are you noticing if your AC compressor is coming on? When you have your car at idle, toggle the a/c switch from the off position to the on position and pay close attention to see if there's a drop in RPM's when you toggle the a/c switch to the on position. If there is, the compressor is being activated in which case, the warm is not being caused by that, but if the a/c compressor is not coming on (and I suspect that's your problem) you are going to blow nothing but warm to hot air. Thanks!

Poping noise in a 07 dodge nitro 3.7. Is it the rockers

Only if the oil has been low for a long time. Rockers/ lifters will make a ticking noise, tapping as they wear down. Popping would be towards the vales not closing. All this is from engine neglect. Dodge makes a reliable engine. But no engine will last if the fluids are kept up and changed.

Ticking Noise

ticking noise usually but not always is from the head--valves-usually a rocker arm starved for oil or bent clogged push rod check oil if black and thin can cause tick also extreme cold can cause -because oil thickened sometimes goes away when warmed up-same noise /check oil pressure extreme problem oil pump failing or clogging --timing belt can cause a ticking but they usually fail-- break causing major problem ----other area to check are the pulleys and bearings in witch the belt rolls on-- alternator can also cause a tick when bearing is failing --

Check engine light on 2011 dodge nitro

Hey guys I have a 2011 Dodge Nitro 3.7 and today my engine light came on and it was running like I was on rumble strips. I floored it and it sputtered and ran terrible then the light started flashing then I cut it off tried to reset still the light came on. I put the scanner on it and it turned out to be the coil plug on the #3 cylinder. COIL PLUG. Hope this helps out GOD BLESS!

A ticking sound on a 06 ford f150 super crew 5.4L

Ticking sound could be coming from a Coil-on-Plug, or a pcv valve, or (hope it's not) a valve lifter which could be sticking. Sticking lifter noise often disappears when rpm's change, or the noise comes & goes. try changing the motor oil & filter right after adding an Engine-Flush Treatment to the motor oil, running the engine for 10 minutes at idle with treatment added to the oil, then draining the oil & changing filter while oil is still very hot. That last part is very important, so be careful not to burn your hands - be careful. -- The sticking lifter is a likely cause if motor oil has not been changed at frequent intervals in the past (every 3-4K miles) -- dirty oil causes sticking lifters.

Makes like a ticking or light knocking noise at start up, whether it's hot or cold outside. I usually let the truck idle for a while and it goes away.

Usually a sign of needing an oil change. My Dodge Dakota does the same thing, when I change the oil it goes away. Every couple of oil changes I use kerosene to clean out the gunk, just put kerosene in place of the oil, let the motor run for a minute then drain, replace the oil filter, and fill with oil, then you're good to go.
