Hey guys i just baught a 99 v6 stang. There is a quiet ticking noise coming from the engine i believe on the drivers side. It does not do it at idle, just when im driving, and it goes with my RPMS..the more, the faster it ticks. It really doesnt sound like anything major but anyone have any idea?

 

time to change the oil ?

our truck does that,

 

think thats it? the dealer i baught it from said they just changed it.... ha i guess thats why you never trust dealers. Thanks ill try that!

 

well im just saying im not 100% sure just wait to see what others post and say about this

 

The dealers lied to me, said it was, i bought to the shop for a tune up and they said u really need your oil changed

 

yea dealers are supposed to change but whenever i buy a car i do a full tune up the next day....i drain the oil and it was black so no they didnt change it like they said or they just put in used oil ha

 

Also could be a small exhaust leak, the factory headers are famous for it, it does sound like a real faint ticking, usually they are leaking around the primaries right at the flange, if it is there, it can be welded, but it is stainless and requires special material to weld it.

 

dont the headers crack from the condensation from the a/c hoses running down on them when they are hot? i forget where i read that[&:]
