Hemi Tick or Manifold Bolts/Something Else?

[FestiveAle]

Hey guys, any advice here welcome. I have a 2023 1500 5.7 V8 with 2800 miles on it. When I start up my truck I hear this tick (cold start). In this video the truck is being started for the first time of the day. Taking to dealer on Monday. Any advice welcome.

If it goes away after warm up, it could be an exhaust manifold issue, but at that low miles, not likely.
See what the dealer says, but he will likely just blow you off saying it is normal. He would be full of it though, because a majority of us have no such issue.

Someone else suggested that maybe this is the hydronic lifters filling with oil?

 

[Randy Grant]

Never had that with any other hydraulic lifters in all the years that they have been around.

Thin oil
You can check your heat shields and manifold bolts. Those could be loose.

I think it's thin oil. My truck did that for 3 yrs with Platinum 5w20 and lubegard. Went away with PUP 5w30 and lubegard. I had about 3 seconds of slight tick at cold starts. Gone gone!

Sounds like a cold start to me.

I'd migrate to Pennzoil Ultra Premium 5W30 and a quality oil filter moving forward.

What oil filter you using? i used both fleetguard and donaldson and had a slight tick on startup went back to a OEM filter and it stopped.
