Why is there a ticking noise coming from my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins?
I keep hearing a ticking noise while driving my truck. Aside from being annoying, I’m worried it's a sign of something wrong with my vehicle. Why is my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins making a ticking noise?
The most common reasons for an engine ticking noise include the following:
Low oil pressure
Issues with the ignition system
An exhaust leak
In some cases, the noise may go away on its own.
However, it’s difficult to determine the cause or severity of the issue without bringing your vehicle to a certified Dodge dealer or technician to diagnose the sound. If the noise continues, bring your truck in for an assessment.
