Just started getting lifter tick. Is there anything I can do to possibly stop this or percent it from getting worse? It oddly has started happening after putting high detergent oil/mmo in.

 

o you want to stop lifters from ticking? then put new lifters in. Works every time

 

...huh... Any background or more info on issue? Did it just start or were you wheelin when it started? Is oil good?

 

Randomly started. Fresh oil. Never dome it before until a fee days ago

 

Does it do it on a cold start-up?

What brand of oil filter did you use?

 

LOL!!! love it.....

 

Does it only on cold start up. Used rotella t with mmo. Using a wix filter.

 

Honestly I wouldn't worry as long as its not a knock and there isn't metal in your oil. My buddy's 05 TJ with the I6 and 60k miles ticks. All my friends with XJs have lifter ticks. It seems to be normal with these engines..

 

I guess I just got concerned cause it was really loud the first time.

 

Mine at 2500 RPM sounds like a Powerstroke diesel.

 

That probably gets a few heads to turn.. .

 

Yeah that cant be good

 

Not as loud but driving through an alley with walls on both sides with the windows down. If it was actually as loud as a PSD I would worry.

 

Next time it does it, shut it off. Wait 20 seconds and start it again. Does it go away? Take another stop and start for it to quit? If so, give the MMO with Rotella a chance to work. Took 1,000 miles on one of mine and 1,500 on the other before it quit. Don't just let it run and tap. Shut it off and restart as suggested.

 

I do shut it off when it does it and it does stop it.
