2015 5.7 Hemi - camshaft or lifters

[Lifted2wd]

128k on the motor. Just started making a tick, shop says it's either lifter or cam. Can this be caused by wrong oil filter? Or just coincidence it happened right after oil change.

Whst are recommendations: stock or upgrade

If it is cam/lifters upgrade.... Only makes sense factory farms out parts to the lowest bidder. Sometimes the lowest bidder goes cheap to make more money. Just my 2¢.

You got a fair number of miles on it,to be throwing an aftermarket bigger cam in it.If you're wanting an aftermarket cam,stay on the small side with the amount of miles you have on the engine,higher rpm might just kill the engine faster then you want.

I'm old enough,i still remember the days before the metric system Brandon,lol My truck is set on the US settings as anything above 35C is foreign to me,i know what 185F is ,but have to convert 85C back to farenheight to know what the hell temp the engine/tranny etc.,are at,lol. Besides a section of land in Canada is still a mile by a mile,and the countries still surveyed in miles yet,lol

Haha I wish u learned that in school. It just makes more sense to me. I'm really bad when measuring comes, I can't do metric has to be inches and feet this cm mm is just crazy. I've got my truck set for mph and kmh cruise is 62 mph but speedo still tells me km.

Read the tick thread in my signature, no reason to worry about cam lifters until you start getting mis fires codes.

Hemi tick is either lifters or exhaust bolts. If it is lifters and when the cam lob is worn, you will need or should replace both cam and lifters. Some people opt for non mds upgrade, something to look into.

Is the tick on startup or warm idle?

I've had 17 exhaust bolts replaced. It is on startup and doesnt go away. No misfire and cycles with RPMs

Does the truck misfire at all? If not dont worry until it does hell it may never lol... try using redline 5w30 oil hemis will tick and sound like a sewing machine on first startup no matter what even after a new set of cam/lifters.

No misfire. No loss of power through rpms. Just the sound that doesnt go away. Quiets through higher rpms

Noise went away then just came back. Sounds like sticky rockers. It's not consistent though

What oil and filter before? What oil and filter now?

Last time was mopar from the dealer this time was last minute basic with napa oil filter. I was wondering if that was correlation because it started shortly after thebchanfe

If it's a rocker arm making noise you should be able to see it by pulling the valve cover off and checking for lash.

Man that would be good news if that's all it is....
