We're having an issue with the V8 in my 98 Ram. A weird tapping noise that we can't figure out. If any of you have experience working on it, shoot me a PM and I'll give you the run down on what we've done and checked. Just looking for someone to give us some other ideas on stuff to check, as we're about tapped out, and neither me or my brother have that much experience with the Magnum V8s.

Have you blasted it with piss yet?

Hadn't thought of that one, I'll give a try later, thanks for the advice!

There is a tech section on here. A bit more broad than asking people in the Central section.

I know, I was just hoping there might be someone local who could help me out if we get totally stuck.

Maybe take the valve covers off and make sure the rocker arms are tight enough

Yeah, we've checked everything we can without taking the covers off, so that's the next step. Probably gonna do that Saturday.

Ha, I wish! I tried to find one when I was truck shopping, but they were all either too expensive, or had way too many miles on them.

where did you shop? i went all the way to tx to grab mine. i'd do it again in a heartbeat. well worth it. plenty of them down there.
