Ok Its not fuel injectors I am hearing I doubt. I could head those
pulsing when the engine runs - but this ticking happens after the
engine has warmed up. I dont know what to make of it. Any ideas??
I just changed the oil today. Mobil-1 10w30 and a Napa Gold (Wix) oil
filter.
Wasnt a perfect spill-less change - but it was pretty easy. I dont even
have to put the Ram up on stands or ramps. Theres plenty of ground
clearance to change oil.
I also noticed that I am back in the world of CAD's... Central Axle
Disconnects... got one on Christine - the XJ didnt have one - and I
forgot Rams have em - - BLEH!
