    Engine ticking on start up - different oil?

    Well, ive owned it since 100k and its got 136k now... I do maintenance to the T and it runs great and shifts perfect. My hope is its just once of things where I just will let it warm more. Because after its slightly warm its perfect.

    So, as I stated the oil pressure DEFNIITLY increased... The bottle states that's a good things.. Does that causes any draw backs? My battery gauge also moved up slightly as well as my temp gauge. Truck is rippin tho!!

    1998 5.4 Shudders under throttle tip-in

    The back coils are not hard its the plugs... Basically just LONG extensions, elbow sockets and labor. Took about 2 hrs to do plugs and coils.

    Engine ticking on start up - different oil?

    Here is an update... The ticking is still there even with the Lucas stabilizer fluid... So, I am not sure what it is... Like yesterday I let it warm for about 10 minutes this morning and nothing was there whatsoever when I took off... Its only when its cold.

    Piston Slap?

    Now, I'm thinking this is not my problem. Mine sounds like cams hitting the valves like a Subaru 2.5Liter does if your familiar with that.

    Suspension Replacement

    If its squeaking it might not be shocks at all? I design shocks for a living and shocks don't usually squeak. That's your control arm/sway bar bushings that are dry most likely.
