My truck makes a faint clicking noise when I accelerate. It only happens until the engine gets warm. Has anyone had this problem or does anyone know what it is?

It could be the exhaust system stretching when warming up. Or it could be a valve lifter that bleeds down over night. Neither one is worth worrying about or give you a problem. However it could be an indication of sludge due to not changing the oil regular and driving short trips. Always change oil about 3 to 4 thousand miles and use only 5w30 or 10w 30 oil. This will keep the sludge down, If it's causing a lifter noise.

Its possible that you have a bad valve, or valve that is out of whack-my truck also did this(is ford) and it went away after it ran for a few seconds-about 60seconds or so-as soon as the oil got circulated it went away-your valve is not in adjustment,something is loose in there(valve spring-maybe) and it doesnt go away till the oil gets it good and lubricated-that would be my geuss...

its probably valve noise in it causing this to happen,you might try changing the oil in it sometimes that will make it stop doing this,its hard to guess at something without being able to actually hear it,good luck with it.

make sure your using the right oil in a hemi. Alot of shops use bulk oil and its junk for a hemi read the owners manual. I think I use 5w 20 for my 5.7 2006'
