Ive got a ticking noise under hard acceleration like when going in to passing gear I originally thought it was an exhaust leak but Ive been reading the threads and I think there are a lot of guys with lifter tick what do you guys think .....Its not louder when the engine is cold like a exhaust leak so im now leaning to lifter tick .....any help would be great

Nope.....could be the exhaust gasket.....Ive got a 68 mustang and it kinda sounds like it with a blown exhaust gasket( had a warped header and it blew gaskets regular).....but the mustang made the sound through the entire rpm range....this jeep only makes the noise under acceleration when cruising speed it goes away
