Ngbennett1996 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) I have a 2012 dj sxt. Had it about 6 months. It makes a ticking noise maybe slightly clunky noise when idle or at slow speeds. Kind of a rough sounding idle. gets better at higher speeds, gets worse when turning at slower speeds. Mechanic said it might be a valve but idk. If u have a solution please let me know Edited October 1, 2019 by Ngbennett1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Might be a valve. Might be normal valvetrain/timing chain noise, might be low on oil, a pulley going bad, AC compressor, etc....kinda impossible to diagnose a ticking sound over the internet. Mechanics stethoscope will help you isolate exactly where the sound is coming from.

Auburn2011 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yeah, i would suggest a dodge dealership check it out unless you have a very good local mechanic. Mine was a camshaft, so fairly in depth, but it was fixed and ticking went away completely. Expensive but fixed. I have 294,000 on my journey currently.
