Tick noise.. serious or no?

devzw3 · May 21, 2017

Hey all, my truck has recently started having a slight metallic like tick at idle ever so often. More often recently. If I rev it over 1k rpm, the tick will go away completely then it will be around idle again, slow down, and be kinda sporadic. Other days it will go away completely, or even during the drive it will do it at some stops and not at others. Could it be something simple that isn't internal? Or does this sound like a lifter/rod sound?

I'm going to post a video on YouTube and paste the link in a second

Mine is making a sound too, but sounds like a screw is getting tossed round inside...urs sounds like it's sparking somewhere if I heard right

What confuses me is it seems the tick is too slow to match RPM which leads me to think it's something that is not inside the motor. Any ideas from anyone?

Fuel injector click? Maybe a tension pulley? Pull the belts and run it for a short time see if it goes away, sounds like it's a bearing in that pulley or A pulley just catching as the engine rotates. Also do the injectors develop a tick like that? Idk!
