Hey members!
Scoured the forums can’t seem to find what I’m looking for.
Some of you may remember me as inquiring about different combinations of drivetrains and what the best combo was.
I settled on a truck. About a week and a half ago I bought a beautiful 2016 Ram Sport with only 58,000km on it.
It’s got the 5.7 and it has the very odd noise when it’s fully warm and I come to a stop and let it idle. The noise starts at any pressure lower than 300kpa according to my guage. (“Mechanical”guage doesn’t move. I believe this is a separate issue.) It doesn’t sound like HEMI tick but more of a slap or a knock. Almost sounds like it’s detonating all the time. It’s intermittent so the video I have isn’t great as this time it happened after I got out of the gym. Not sure how to upload one as I can’t seem to upload a video.
Doesn’t sound like rod knock either. Otherwise truck runs great.
I would like to start running redline however I don’t like it’s cold oil flow performance and I need that as I live in the great white north. PUP may be my next best bet.
All thoughts are appreciated thank you.
