Oil change

Might have to try that. My truck enjoys death metal too much, so the ticking only gets louder with the music.

 

(shockingly, they both are practically in-time with their gestures)

Classic @shifty`

Makes me want to listen to some Death and Obituary.

 

Very dumb question but say it’s normal ticking and not an exhaust leak of some kind, would swapping to a noisier muffler or new headers worsen the audible noise or have no impact overall

 

I put JBA headers + a cat-back system on and the tick didn't change.

 

Tick tick tick ticking in my head!

Totally unrelated to the metal conversation earlier, don't want anyone to think I call this "metal" (maybe thrash?) but its' one of the better covers of a Joe Jackson song and it's all I can hear when people start talking about ticking.

That's a good one, for sure! Anthrax was always one of those "meh" bands for me. Few decent songs, but I always thought Testament should have been part of "The Big Four", not Anthrax.

 

fuk dis, I’m switching over to a Honda.

jk.

What in the holy duck titties did I just watch lmfaoooo






“secretly looking up whether ridgelines has engine ticks”

 

Of course I went outside to try and it didn't do it. Slowly increased throttle too and nothing. I'll see if it happens later on when going down the road.

 

I finally can agree with the steering shaft seal allowing more noise in than normal. I heard it from under that side of the car the other morning when I started it up. It does get better after warm up. It never truly goes away though.

 

Mine doesn’t even sound 1/2 as loud as that after warm up. It’s usually much better sounding too after an oil change which i do frequently over the 21 years I've owned mine.

 

I also have headers + cat-back system, a lot of noise coming from those guys.

 

LOL @ duck titties.
