Just bought a 2019 ram with 26k miles on it but the motor has a ticking sound. The dealership will fix it ( I'm hoping ) but curious what the causes could be on a new ish truck like that?
Any ideas?

Sorry to hear that. Could be a few things but most common is Exhaust manifold/bolts or lifter issue. Search "hemi tick" and pray it's exhaust because it's cheaper. Mileage is low for lifter but you never know..Good luck!

Hemi tick baby! Welcome to the hemi life.....sometimes trying different brand oil will help or trying higher octane may also help reduce it.
