I have 03 Dodge 1500 with 4.7L. It has the ticking noise that mostly all have. I was wondering if anyone knew if a high performace oil pump may solve this or any other suggestions? Also, i have bad creeking noises coming from the truck when i go over bumps an rougher terrain. As well as when i turn sharp or hit a bump an turn i hear a loud popping sound. Any ideas will be helpful for me. As im newer too the dodge family.

The creaking you hear is your bushings on leafs, and the poping is probably ball joints or tie ends.

High Moly oil, Redline. The moly plates over 500 miles and the lifters become quiet. Helps about 80% of Ram Forum guys who try it. I keep track, if you try it please PM me and let me know if it worked or didn't work. Read the case for moly in my sig. Redline oil ended my hemi tick about 5 years ago, been gone since. I'm afraid to use something else at this point. Use a Royal Purple synthetic filter the oil pays for itself because you can run it 10k miles easy. I personally only change my oil every two years backed up with uoa's, info is in Syn thread, I do only go 5k miles a year on my ram. GL, Burla

Other High Moly Oils
Shaeffers
Pnzoil Ultra Platinum but only in 0w40
Enos

The film strength of oil wont be enough, you need an oil with special additives. it is the additives that attack spots out of tolerance.

Yep , pour in 7 qts of Redline 5W-30 oil and install a RP -1048 filter allow 500-750 miles for the molybdenum to plate .
