Ahhh the truth, so fun to read haha. No tick tick boom!!!!
When i say "quickly" I'm describing the sound going from "is this thing clicking??" To noticeable frequent over the course of a few months. Its not by any means loud but to me someone might as well be hitting ME with a hammer haha. 😲🔨 I hate new noises.

there was a tsb on piston slap here in the great white north. my buddy Tony replaced a lot of pistons in 4.0's when he worked at the dealership. now he fixes my forklifts, but you would do some measurements, then size the new piston according to some colour code system...we talked about it awhile ago. anywho, back to my timmies.

Will do.
If i try, i still hear a clicking but its very hard to hear. She seems to be idling smoother and also pulls up hill easier. The kicker? Ive been having an issue with my key not wanting to turn... Thats also gone away?? Now that last ones gotta be coincide, but still... Not bad restore, not bad
