Why is my 2015 Ram 1500 making a ticking noise on startup?
I’ve noticed a ticking noise for the past few days when I start my truck, and I’m worried that it might be something bad. Do you know why a 2015 Ram 1500 would make a ticking noise when it’s started?

Ah, the dreaded mystery engine noise—music to exactly nobody’s ears. According to RepairPal, the most likely causes of a 2015 Ram 1500 ticking noise on startup are:
- Low engine oil or low oil pressure
- A problem with the ignition system
- An exhaust leak
None of these are problems that you want to wait to address, as they can potentially get worse and cause more damage over time. Your best bet is to have your truck checked out at the dealership or a trusted mechanic so that they can find and resolve the issue. Good luck!
