I've had this 2014 1500 Sport with the 5.7 for 6 months or so now and feel like I'm getting more engine noise than I should be. Learned about hemi tick and the Redline 10w40 5w30 through this forum and gave it a shot. It quieted the tick down a bit but it's definitely still noticeable. Hoping some of you sharp people could help me diagnose my engine noise issue(s). I'll link a video with audio from a few different angles (engine bay, wheel well, under the vehicle, in the cab parked idle and in the cab accelerating). Hopefully the audio quality is good enough.
The tick is noticeable in the cab and I feel like I hear it traveling up the steering column. Tick pace increases with revs and does not appear to go away after the engine warms up (so I assume it's not a manifold issue). I'm also a little surprised at how much noise I get when opening the hood...maybe that's completely normal though. Just feel like my Silverado was quieter. Any help would be greatly appreciated! It was just in the shop for a new evaporator and the "full multi point inspection" or whatever they did didn't mention any issues but just doesn't sound right.
