I have a 2015 ram 1500 5.7 60k km.
Problem I am having is a knocking/ticking sound at cold start up, only lasts about 10-15 seconds or when I put it in drive if it doesn’t go away on its own... now the problem is is that it has only happened about 4 times in a 3 month time frame the truck is driven daily. I had it in the shop to check manifold bolts and all are good. It started after I switched oil filters. Due to them not having my usual Mobil 1 filter. I used a mopar filter instead.
In your opinion could it be my oil filter? (Drain valve) I will switch back to mobil 1 next oil change that is due right away. I was just wondering if anyone has any other reasons why it would do this sporadically and not evertime? Could it be Piston slap? And wouldn’t that happen every time I start it up?
Thanks.
