BBK shorty headers.

[JeffG1]

So I had the dreaded Hemi Tick. I wanted it gone. So I ordered BBK shorty headers for 700 dollars. I paid speedy muffler 2300 dollars to install them. And paid 1100 dollars for a rental car while I waited 11 days to get my truck back. Only to have that dam ticking return, and now my engine light is on GRRRRR..

$2300 to install headers? And what type of car did you rent for one day that was $1100? Cause it shouldn't have taken more than a day to install them.

Sounds like the shop took you for a ride and milked you for money

He also said it took 11 (ELEVEN) days to get his truck back, hence $1100 for rental. But either way, I'm no vehicle Guru, but how would headers eliminate the Hemi tick?

He's talking the exhaust leaking, many call it Hemi tick as well.

The only thing the OP got right is probably the price he paid for the shortys. Otherwise Seems like the rest of his rant is just wrong.

A tick with an engine light could be a sign of lifter failure. I'd stop driving it and confirm that the check engine light does not refer to misfires, if it does then your cam lobe is already worn down and you might have shavings in your engine that you're spreading around.

Yep, I helped a local friend out with his 4th gen. He said the truck was running rough and bought new spark plugs. Helped him change the spark plugs. I haven't heard it run before. After we got all the sparkplugs replaced, he started it up and definitely didn't sound good. He also has a misfire check engine light. Used a long screwdriver and could hear the knocking coming from deep in valve train area. He lost two lifters and cam was shot. Had to get a whole new engine.
