I know I am probably creating the 100th thread on this, but my issue is a little more different I think. So every now and then, whenever I start my truck up for about the first 3 seconds it sounds like lifter tick. It's not every single time I start my truck, and it could be 30 F or 100 F and it would still sporadically do it. After those first few seconds, it sounds normal, all I hear are my fuel injectors ticking away. I almost think I just have no oil in the upper side of my engine and it just takes a few seconds to throw the oil back up topside. I've asked a buddy of mine who is a service advisor and he just claims as long as it doesn't last on acceleration, I'm fine. Now I'm curious what y'all think! Maybe exhaust manifold studs? Thanks
