Thanks for the quick reply man. My oil gauge is doing exactly what yours is so maybe the pressure is not a problem. My buddy owns the midas shop in town and it is going in there tomorrow. Mine is an automatic and the ticking is all the time. Low speed high speed warm cold everything. It is right in the engine and it speeds up when you rev the rpms. Truck seems to run awesome but I can't help but think this is a valve or lifter noise?
