Today is the only day ive heard it, it sounds like on the passenger side, when i accelarate to higher RPM's it sounds like something is ticking faster and faster, and when its idleing or at low RPM it ticks slowly. can anyone help me out?

 

Sounds like a valve. Does it tick when in park?
How much oil do you have?
When was the last time you changed the oil?
How many miles on the engine?

Might be time to run a can of Seafoam through the oil system, although I prefer Marvelous Marvins Mystery oil treatment. Pretty much Kerosene/deisel fuel. It thins out the oil and cleans out sludge build up. You must change your oil and oil filter after the treatment. I do two treatments in two consecutive oil changes, usully every 100,000 miles, or when I do tune-ups. Which ever comes first.

 

it does it in park, i do need an oil change, that could be it, im getting it changed either tonight or tommorrow, but there are 153,000 on the motor, and i changed the oil 3,000 ago.

 

now my motor is starting to tick really loud, what could the problem be?

 

is it comeing from under truck?
check for exhaust leak.

 

doesnt matter now, bottom end of the motor is gone, metal shards all in the motor. say bye bye to a 4.3

 

say hello to 5.7

 

haha i so thought that, untill pricing came along, and the gas mileage.

 

That would be a little more then ticking.

More like a knocking.

5.7 [8D]

Gas mileage, its only money.

 

well when your broke, with no job curently, and your a full time student, gas mileage plays a BIG role.
