It’s never fun worrying about a potential mechanical bill—especially on a well-loved vehicle. With the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500, the most common causes of a ticking sound are an issue with the ignition system, low oil level or pressure, or an exhaust leak. Typically, ticking noises are related to a lack of lubrication that causes parts to click together.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to know for sure what is causing the ticking without taking your Ram 1500 to the mechanic. Luckily, most of the repairs for these issues sit well under $300, so you won’t necessarily break the bank.
