Ticking noise from engine bay

ramthedaughter19 · Jul 18, 2014

I recently bought a 2001 2wd 5.2 magnum dodge extended cab. Ever since I bought it I have had a ticking noise coming from the engine bay. I think it's a lifter but I'm not sure. any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.

How loud is the tick? Where is it coming from? You can either use a mechanics stethoscope to pin point the sound or use a length of vacuum hose or similar by holding one end up to your ear and pointing the other end at various locations around the engine until you find where the noise is loudest. Don't let the hose get caught up in any of the moving parts!!!

Fuel injectors make a tick that sounds similar to the lifters. I've also heard that the timing set can also cause a tick due to slack. Mine is the latter.

It's also possible that your EVAP Duty Purge Solenoid in the engine bay might be noisy as well.
