The owner of the car dealership and the salesman had to go to Baton Rouge Louisiana from Shreveport or Mansfield which was about a 4 hour drive for them. I didn't have to go to court as a person who came from there inspected my car a few times and represented me in court. They either had to fix the car or give me something of equal value of what I paid for the car.

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.

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! 🤷♀️ sooooooo….now 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….

Or you could do what I did and go stick shift. The lifters don’t tend to fail as much on the manual cars because they don’t have MDS. The MDS puts a ton of strain on these engines. The older non-vvti/mds hemi engines definitely lived a lot longer. Also, it depends on the wear additives in your oil. I know that oil with a lot of zinc is recommended for flat tappet cams for break in but in these engines it makes a big difference. Otherwise you’ll need something like Amsoil or (my personal favorite) BND Automotive Quantum Blue.

You can drive it it’s a typical Chrysler Hemi V8 issue especially when they get close to high mileage or high mileage you begin hearing it. Same with the fricken exhaust manifolds. 🤦🏻♂️dodge Chrysler was proud of the hemi even with some of its cheapness. Like, the stupid manifolds and heat shields. The TINY bolts rust and break the heat shield would become lost and flap around you get exhaust leak from rusty manifold or a gap in the housing of where the manifold seals to the block. No good. Another ticking noise that can be. So many people drive with the lifter tick and be ok including myself. My hemi still powerful and many miles. It’s fine to do so. Keep your oil changes regular use full synthetic you’ll be alright. I rebuilt my hemi at 250k myself. Worn lifters for sure. Nothing severe. I floored that old beast a lot. It took it.

Hello Alex is there any tapping noise on cold starts that would be considered normal, or does it all have to be addressed
@UpperDarbyDetailing9 ай бұрын
Depends upon the vehicle. The four cylinder that came in the Mazda mx6, 626, and ford probe have Rhodes lifters and that tick is basically meaningless. Trying to fix it is both expensive and likely futile.

I would get a hold of tx speed get a stage 2 camshaft, new springs with hellcat lifters do a MDS delete and a small tune...truck/Durango/charger will run forever...not to mention 50 horse and torque...

in defense of the customer. My wife plays her music really loud in the cat so she will only tell me about new sounds when she hears them over her music. In that case she only heard the issue for a short time before I am trying to fix it.

@AlexTheCarDoctor what made you get into auto mechanics and what steps u took to be ASE certified? I’m just asking cause you know a lot about cars and I thought about going that route and becoming a master technician.

Durango Dodge Chrysler motors had a bad problem with oil pressure getting up to the top of the engine. You could’ve stopped driving that right away and you would still have a bad cam.

The metal shavings help increase the clearance size making the vehicle faster and last longer. All these newer vehicles sure have a lot of expensive problems.

If you here some ticking and pull over right away and not drive it. Maybe cuz low on oil. Once we do oil change can that fix the ticking? Or it automatically means something is bad? In all cases?
@AlexTheCarDoctor10 ай бұрын
I would definitely try changing the oil first,not all the time damage occurs especially when you pull over and stop driving
@jayare91606 ай бұрын
@@AlexTheCarDoctorwhat’s up bro. I did the oil change on my 1980 caprice the loud ticking went away. But I can kind of hear it at times. Also it burns oil now.. car runs and drives but burns oil now and low ticking . Louder on high rpms. Engine rebuild? Or lifter?
