88' Ram 50 Engine Tick w/ video

[pennyman1]

My Dad's 1988 Ram 50 with the 2.6 had a ticking sound that turned out to be mild detonation off of idle - I ran a full bottle of redline synthetic fuel cleaner through it, and the noise went away. He couldn't hear the noise it made as he is hard of hearing, but it made quite a racket. I also ran Rislone with every oil change to keep the lifters quiet.

Hey, just wanted to clear the thread.

I ran automatic trans fluid through the engine on idle for 3 min. flushed oil and put in full synthetic.

no more tick and truck runs great
