3rd gens dont have lifter issues however your profile says 2014 4th gen is thjat correct? If so it doesnt really go by mileage its how many idle hours it has and if the oil was changed every 4k miles ect. The truck has to be maintained all 5.7 engines will tick to an extent its normal. Another common thing people mistake the true hemi tick with is warped exhaust manifolds.

Mine 3500 miles I got the tick, fixed with a lubrication strategy for 15 years and counting. Has ticked but a couple times since, once was one run wrong oil and second was when truck sat for a month from wild fires. Cam/lifter fail numbers were kept on the other forum, but it wasn't very thorough but anecdotally the average fail was between 70k and 130k miles was when most cams failed. Look up lubrication strategies on my sig, see %'s, one is near 80% success rate and one is 50% success rate, both similar science.
