Hi all,
I'm new to this board and I'm sure a bunch of people have posted about this same thing but I could only find other topics that had unrelated noises. '
I have a 92' Explorer with 154,000 miles. At startup there's a loud ticking noise for about 10 minutes until the engine warms up. It almost sounds like a weak diesel engine.
I work at a car dealer and the mechanic said that it was probably lifter noise. I went to Schuck's and bought "Hyperlube" oil additive and the mechanic told me that this stuff should fix this "ticking" noise. I'm going to add it in when I get my next oil change.
I was just curious if this really is the lifters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
