So my 08 1500 has slowly developed what I believe to be a lifter tick on the drivers side for the first minute or so after startup. Then it goes away. Patrick had me try the trans fluid in the oil truck, which seemed to help a little. But not quite a permanent solution.
I've never been more than oil filter deep into one of these. Especially since it has that cylinder shut off.
What all do I need to do? What I've seen online says lifters, timing cover gasket, head gaskets. Anything else? Also I've seen a ton of people suggesting a new cam. Which I'm not opposed to throwing an aftermarket cam in.
Or would I just be better off financially to just buy a used motor?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
