Well, I stop the ticking noise. It was the EGR. The bolt that hooks into the exhaust manifold must of not been tight enough. I tightened it as much as I could and went driving down the road and no more ticking noise. [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] Well, there is still a little, but you really have to listen for it. The only way I could hear it is to have the window all the way down and hang my head almost out the window. LOL. Glad no one was around. hehe.. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm going to tighten the EGR bolt that is attached near the throttle body and try to tighten the other bolt at the exhaust manifold a little more. That should take care of my problem completely. [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] Thanks again everyone for your help. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I used a socket wrench. I did have to pry the engine bracket back a little. that helped so much. after that all went smooth. [img]smile.gif[/img] have any other questions just let me know.

Just a litle tid-bit, i spent the entire weekend taking off my Plentum, lower inatke manifold, and both valve covers off (had a COUPLE leaks :rolleyes: ) and i did the same thing with that D@mn engine bracket, double check and make sure that it isnt rubbing on the heater hoses that are back there. If it is either bend it back or stick a piece of rubber back there to keep it from rubbing a hole in that hose.

Dont roller rockers make more noise than standard rockers ?? My mom has a 2500 HD Silverado with roller rockers and it made a ticking noise sometimes also, we took it to the dealership while it was under warranty and they said that its just the roller rockers not to worry about it :rolleyes: ...
But congrats with the install!!<hr></blockquote>

If it only does it on startup thats the piston slap issue. No harm to the motor though, its normal. I used to have a 6.0l 2500... piston slap / ticking on startup is completely normal for that motor.
