Hey everyone, my motor has been ticking for awhile, hardly noticable at idle, When I'm driving, it's only noticable when cruising at low rpm, but its louder. I've tracked it down to Cylinder 7 using my stethescope, I'm just trying to figure out what it is now. I'm thinking it might be a noisy fuel injector or a stuck lifter. I unplug the injector and I don't hear the noise, but the truck is running like such crap it's hard to tell (runs great with all 8 hooked up of course). I unplug the spark plug and the noise gets louder and more prominent. After the first of the year I'll be pulling my injectors to clean them and replace a broke pintle cap, so If it is a noisy injector, then would be the time to change it. Also if it's a noisy lifter, that would be the time to tackle that problem too.
Anyone have any ideas?
Exhaust leaks have all but been ruled out, when I put the stethescope on the lower intake, right next to the injector I can hear "tink, tink, tink, tink"
