Just had my lifters replaced, I still hear a lifter noise although not as loud, but my oil pressure when it’s warm at idle is 27 when I’m driving it’s around 36-37 and if I step on it it jumps to 50ish, I’m at loss cuz it was not a cheap job to have done so I’m wondering if there is something else to check

People replace lifters all the time only to still have them tick. So my question what about the old lifters you pulled out makes you think it was the lifters the reason for the tick? About the only time it is the lifters is when a roller is out, but that is a low % of the time. If it gets worse, the culprit most likely is push rods. Can you post a YouTube with video taken from under truck for 3 minutes warm idle, if so I will let you know how it compares to most ticks around here. look up lubrication strategies in my sig 100 of rams took part.

It dropped a lifter, had them replaced it was still there with a rattle noise at cold start, then went away until engine warmed up, so I just had them done again now the cold start rattle is gone but still have the tick after it warms up and low pressure, I’ll try to get video today
