No tick here. 33,000kms.

Has your oil been climbing the dipstick? I was just thinking that maybe your oil is being diluted with fuel to the point that the viscosity has dropped hence the ticking.

 

[BBayne]

No the oil hasent climbed the stick. I read alot about the motor making oil. Some pepole say it might be the pump timming! I dont no forsure! have to see!!

I had a ticking noise and it ended up being a broken valve spring. The only reason I found out what it was is because I had to change the head gasket. If I were you I would take off all of the valve covers and check the valvetrain... It's worth a check.

It sounds like either a bit of injector knock or a bad spring as mentioned before. It could be the solenoid on the injector not firing correctly which could lead to a knocking sound. I would have your dealer have a look at it.

Just a thought and observation on my 5. 9. I ran the EGT wire along the fire wall with tiewraps. The stainless braided probe wire transfered a tappet like noise into the cab... ... ..... Went away after I insulated the tiewrap connection points.

Has anyone done a valve adjustment on a 6. 7L?

Bob, WHen did you adjust your valves? I'm at 129,000 miles.

On customer's trucks,I don't own a 6. 7 yet

When an injector "sticks" in a 6. 7L it doesn't make the same knocking noise as a 5. 9L... . In my experience it sounds more like a loud "clack" type noise... sooo.....

BBayne, I'd take it to the dealer... at 28K miles it's under warranty.

 

[Bob4x4]

The op's truck is modified. Valves out of adjustment are not normally heard above the normal engine noises and at the rpm mentioned could very well be too much timing

Saw that just as I hit enter. When do the valves on the 6. 7 require adjustment?

I beleive the recomended interval is 150k.
