LifeIsAJourney Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I have a 2016 SXT, V6 with about 72,000 miles. I started noticing a tick coming from the engine at idle. It’s more of a steady tick than a thunk. It increase when moving but goes away at higher speeds. No other issues and no lights. Oil level is good too. Help!

5rebel9 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Probably a bad rocker arm on one of the cylinders. Many posts of this condition, DON"T keep driving it or you will face more damage to the valvetrain.(and more costs) 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
