I have a 2016 RAM 1500 w/5.7 Hemi w/117000 miles. It has developed a random ticking noise that appears to be from the front of the engine. It is only noticeable at idle, seems to go away as soon as you accelerate the throttle. It is not as continuous tap like a lifter and definitely not broken exhaust manifold bolt. I suspect it is a broken timing chain tensioner, but would really like some conformation before I tear into the engine. Anybody have any experience with this?
