    I have a new tick when the engine is running and it seems to be right at the front of the engine, almost think it’s one of the pulleys or belts. All past experiences will be appreciated. I know my way around these trucks but I can’t seem to figure out where this noise is coming from. I don’t baby this rig, in fact, lots of limiter may have been a supporting cause to the tick. With that being said, any ideas?

    I would try a mechanics stethoscope. I used one to find a tick in my 5vz. It ended up being the vsv switch in my case, but I never would have found it without the stethoscope.
