I heard a ticking coming from the motor. I thought it was a lifter or valve. I did everything possible to fix the issue when investigating further I found that it was just a f%$##&$% exhaust leak. Two bolts were broke flush with engine. I did a little more investigation into it and found out that it is a common problem with Ram trucks. There is no recall for it so I'm stuck with the bill of fixing a manufacturing f*** up but also stuck with putting the same crap Dodge OEM bolts in there just to wait for them to break again further down the road. I hope this encourages many other people to actually report this same issue to Dodge so they will do a recall for a permanent fix.
