Ticking sound?

Jlyl248 · Jun 1, 2012

I have noticed before at idle a tick, like a exhaust tick after someone cuts their vehicle off. And tonight while leaving the driveway I could hear it more predominantly, it sounds like its on the drivers side. Any ideas?
Also I had another thread stating this but ive been having other problems with the truck and throwing codes p2263 and p2563, any relation? THANKS!

You very well could have split uppipe or egr pipe and yes they could bee related

Has the oil been changed recently?

Jlyl248 · Jun 3, 2012

No not yet, coming up on an oil change. Why do you ask?

Fulcrum rocker time

Jlyl248 · Jun 3, 2012

What's that?

bellyboat · Jun 4, 2012

I ask because the 6.4 makes a ticking sound after the oil has been changed. There is a TSB out there describing it.

Why would it be that?

The fulcrum is the pivot point of the rocker arm.

mine had a tick from the time I got it until I did my build, Mine was the rocker arms. Several tips were wore down to the arm. How many miles? If it is the rockers you can buy the whole assembly for 209$ for each side, it's not too bad to change cab on.

I had a tick when my truck was newer. It wasn't the rocker arms... Can't say what it was but it went away after a while.

maybe your's finally wore grooves in the bridges and quit...lol j/k.
I could really hear mine when I would rev it quick while it was backing down or when driving by a wall at idle. I thought it was normal because it did it since I got it, not now though.

Isn that what it's supposed to doLOL

let's see that f100

This is the only pic I have of it on this pc, she is dirty. Dont make fun of the razor wheels and the calvin peeing on a bowtie stickers, they were cool when I was in school...lol. I am gonna restore her again oneday, she has held up good so far I painted it in highschool94 or 95. She a beast 9.20s in the 1/8...lol.

sorry for the derail, he asked, its his fault!

Jlyl248 · Jun 5, 2012

Ha its fine. Yeah I dont think its the rocker arms, I youtubed a video of a 6.4 with bad rockers and def wasn't that noise. I should've stated it pinging instead of ticking

Motor actually sounds very good. Can hear a slight tick when I'm under the truck up front by the hot side pipe, but after looking around under there I'm leaning towards egr on that. Can also hear it when you smack the throttle quick under load, but that sounds more like the tune than the motor. What worries me the most is the shutter when the converter is locked and you roll up in the throttle hard. Makes the whole truck jerk.

Really hoping the converter isn't failing....

Yeah I thought with the 275 tune cutting the egr off it'd be somewhat problem free. Yeah I was monitoring my tc slip after my post on spartans forum and some help from 08stroker. Is that why it somewhat jerks putting it into gear? Thanks again for taking her in! So up pipes are out of question?

Haven't totally ruled them out yet, but so far it looks like the up-pipes are still in good shape. She does seem a little jerkier than most, but that could be line pressures also. There is no hesitation from park to drive to reverse which is a good thing. Just feels like the converter might be getting week. Gonna do some more data logging, and investigation this afternoon so we can get this girl reigned in.:thumbup:
