Hi all. Looking at a 2019 Big Horn with the eTorque hemi. Could anyone tell me if the noise in this video is normal?


The tick is coming from the front passenger side under the valve cover, it almost sounds like a direct fuel injector but it’s not happening consistently on the other cylinders or on the other bank. Can’t tell if it rises or falls with RPMs since I was alone and couldn’t find the mechanical throttle body under the hood in a few minutes I was able to peek.

Any thoughts?

It’s a 2019 2wd with 36k miles.

Love the truck, it’s much nicer than the Colorado we rented or the Frontier (totally outclassed today), but just curious if this noise is normal?

Sounds like a bad lifter...I dont think its your exhaust manifold the sound would drift off as your exhaust heats up... Passing this along anyone else?

Hope it’s not like mine, been at the dealer two weeks waiting to replace the motor. I had just 35k on it.
