ticking noise on 04 cummins normal?
hey guys
Im new here so i hope iam posting in the rite place, but i have an 04 cummins i just recently bought and i am hearing a slight ticking noise comeing from the engine at idle and only once the truck warms up to normal running temp.
I am curious about a few things, first is this normal for these trucks?
Second if it is not normal what could it be?
thanks in advance guys.

if it were a bad injector i would think it would white smoke idle rough or get bad milage and the truck is getting around 20 all around and 23 if i baby it

Check your injector line hold down bolts, the small 8mm bolts can loosen over time especially #4. Also could be an injector. If you have access to a scan tool you can shut off the injectors one at a time and see if the ticking goes away once the injector is shut off.
