Lifter tick?

[MarshLan]

2021 ram 1500, 5.7 ETORQUE, 45k miles. In the last 5 months I’ve noticed a metallic tapping or ticking noise from driver side. Louder on cold starts, can still hear it at operating temp. Very noticeable in MDS mode and sometimes under load. I have also had some bucking and what feels like a loss of power around 60mph. No check engine light. I had both manifolds replaced at 30k miles. This video is at operating temp. Dealer says it’s just a rattling heat shield. Take very good care of the truck, oil and filter change every 4k miles. https://youtube.com/shorts/qVEDoY2zbHk?si=H4TuDbvY21SjCu3d

Why didn't they just fix the rattling heat shield with their tool from their toolbox?

Well according to them they did fix it. Noise is still occurring just like before…

I’ve asked multiple times. “Can’t allow anyone in the shop for safety purposes” is what I’m told.

Maybe a manifold bolt or crack?

they can come out to the truck in the service entrance and show you
sounds like a copout.

I've had several dealers take me back to service area to show me things before, even with signs saying no customers allowed. I get it, it's a liability and insurance thing for them, but sometimes it's better to work with the customer.

And as Bigdodge said, if it's just a heat shield, they can show that to you in service entrance area.
