Note to self: to fix Hemi tick, get louder exhaust :)

Im going to use that link as an album for the cold start videos I make. Started with this morning at 39 degrees, truck sat from about 8PM to 7:30AM this morning

Doesnt sound horrible, but you can kinda hear a "train" like tone, like a CHUGga, CHUGga, CHUGga....

I dont think its the engine as much as it is the exhaust but it is what bothers me.

Ill try to get a hot idle video today. I usually only go to work and its tough getting a no-background-noise video here.

I have another cold start video from this morning that I will post. TBH I think it sounds just like yesterdays and most of them before it.

I agree it sounds like the other white ram that posted a video earlier this week. Do u have long tubes or stock headers ?

I SERIOUSLY hope you were not comparing that sound to mine lol they sound about as similar as a kawasaki 636 and gravedigger [emoji23]

This is a cold start about a year ago, no ticking but you can clearly hear the Hemi cold start piston slap:

And this hot idle video from last summer:

FYI this was my truck at hot idle on Amsoil SS 5w30:

I have the same piston slap noise ... since 14k miles and at 22k now no change ... goes away when warm so I guess I shouldn’t be concerned . Funny my trucks valve train was loud as hell on amsoil! I dumped it after 1000 miles .... redline is much quieter except for the piston slap .

Thanks for the vids! Hopefully this thread helps people compare and contrast a bit.
