If you hear that lifter tick, you must quit…. Driving it! #cartips

Turn your radio up and the ticking goes away..🤸🏿

A mechanic that wants to save customers money is more than a good mechanic. You’re a good man

If you stopped driving a Dodge or Jeep every time there was a weird engine noise, you would have to use it less than 1000 miles per year.

problem is the dealerships say nothing but "its normal" when you want to get the work done under warranty.

I've heard cars go years with a ticking lifter. It sounds bad but usually won't hurt anything as long as oil is kept up with. Worst thing happens put a cam kit in it. Changing one lifter as a pro mechanic assures a comeback because others may soon join it. Unhappy customer.

Also many people have to live with it because they don't have 2 or more cars to have one down for days or weeks.

I love your narration, the way you talk is divine for instructional videos, or any type of video, I see a bright future for you in YouTube!

[SofakingWetahded]

I had a 2015 Durango v6 and it started ticking and I stopped driving it as soon as I heard the sound. Didn’t matter the cams, lifters, were chewed up and it needed a complete top end replacement. Happened right around 115, 000 miles. As it turned out this is the only car i have ever purchased and extended protection plan for a I worked on. Covered everything 100%

Dude! This is what I have been telling my dad for a year now! His 08 Chevy express van with 350, 000 miles on it started misfiring….he kept driving it…I told him it might just be a burned out coil or plug causing the misfire.., an easy fix if it’s not caused too much damage….went and got the parts after several months of telling him this and him not listening cuz I’m just a stupid girl so what do I know! Guess what…he damaged cylinder 7 that had lost compression. If he had stopped and listened when I first started misfiring, he would still be driving the damned thing. But instead he wanted to think I’m an idiot and don’t know anything even though I’ve built him and mom a dodge pickup out of two that had a lot of problems each…and have two vehicles of my own that have a ton of miles on them and still run perfectly! 🤷‍♀️ I get to do my first engine overhaul….on a Chevy 293 v8….

All Chevy and gmc owners…if u keep having problems like the Chevy express vans have with bad exhaust manifolds that keep coming loose and leaking and warped heads or bad head gaskets….stop using e85 gas! It causes the engine to run much hotter then premium unleaded which causes aluminum heads that all cars have today to warp….it’s hard to find cuz the aluminum will flex back to its normal shape as soon as it cools but as soon as it’s heated again it’ll leak coolant out of the head gasket area into the back coil packs and onto the exhaust manifold which causes the coil and plug to malfunction leading to a misfire….the manufacturer banks in the fact most Americans can’t afford a mechanic bill to fix the simple issue and continue driving with the misfire which causes damage to the cylinder that ends up to be permanent….and engine failure. The exhaust manifold bolts on Chevy engines are all just a hair too long which keeps it from torquing properly into the heads which combined with “E85” use and too much heat eventually causing the heads to warp, Chevy is guaranteed to have another customer sooner then they should have….it’s engineered to fail within 200, 000 miles at max! I’ve seen them fail around 80, 000 miles on well kept vehicles and in models as old as 2002….

Sometime you can’t afford to get it looked at but you do the best you can

[ThatSlowSaturn]

Get an aftermarket exhaust to drown it out 👍

[rue]

Idk after driving GDI for ages, im almost immune to engine noise that isnt the rattle of a timing chain 😅

[JeremyF]

The 3.6 or the Hemi? I know alot of 3.6s that tick forever lol. The Hemi always needs cam and lifters.

[chevyboyforlife]

Thus is why I love an Ole chevy..if you hear a tick you just a little low on oil and keep on going

[MrMicahMane]

I have a lifter tick on my 92 Lincoln town car☹️ but I’m in one of those situations where I gotta drive it to be able to have the money to fix it 😂
Update: wasn’t lifters, definitely was timing chain and tensioners, got em replaced, tick is gone. Very common in town cars at around 150k.

Now my transmission is taking a shit on me lol, time to get a rebuild or a new tranny

[James-wduu]

Hey brother hope your doing well, iv got a raptor with a 6.2 and have my ear out for thay tick. Sheesh id love to give you my bussiness you have a great professional approachable attitude. People need to treat GOOD RESEARCHED mechanics like good trusted doctor's and let them take the reigns.

[Listonanderson]

Love your show Alex. Keep it coming 👍

[jdwilliams]

What is the fix for the engine with lifter and cam problem... That's been driven

[metalsurgeon]

On those penta stars, by the time you hear it, you need a set of followers and a cam.

[towerofresonance]

Amen! Cheap and good is not fast! My mechanic lives by that! He's ace like you! 😊
