This (louder than the normal engine ticking) started happening the other day and I'm very curious what everyone opinion is. I drive this truck 100+ miles a day for work and really hoping its a quicker manifold fix rather than loosing the truck for a few weeks for the cam/lifters.
For context, I live in a rural area that gets hammered with weather and the roads turn to slalom courses dodging major potholes/erosion. I have hit a few teeth jarring pot holes in the last few weeks. I am saying this hoping that maybe this has assisted in the shearing of a manifold bolt.
The tick is consistent at idle when at operating temp, but is significantly louder at start up for about 30 seconds. I don't notice it during normal driving but can hear it at stop lights etc. This is the driver side and loudest in the wheel well. The passenger side sounds mostly normal.
Ive read a lot and listened to other videos and its never really confirmed from OP what it was.
