Message:
I just recently purchased my first truck ever ,a
2004 quad cab slt 4.7 4 x 4 , 100k miles , truck is
great except ive been noticing a tapping noise at
start up , the colder the engine the louder the
noise , it completely disappears after a few minutes
and sounds super quiet , Should I be worried ???
What do I have to look forward too ??? All comments
are appreciated!!!

I just replaced my timing chain on my 2002 quad cab 4.7.
187,000. I'm the original owner and have really maintained it, and i
figured that's what it was. Also, your lash adjusters (lifters) may be
worn which would cause a tapping. If the noise is at the front
possibly timing chain, back farther lifters. Find yourself a mechanic
you can trust and have them take a peek. If you take care of your
Dakota you will be really happy with it. I am! Also, get yourself a
good repair manual for your truck...educate yourself and you will
feel better. Always good to know what you can do and what you
can't do : )
