Consumer Description

Truck was purchased on 11:28:20 and had my first oil change in March. Started noticing a ticking sound coming from the motor but it was. Very faint. After a while it went away. After a few weeks later the noise started to get louder and started shaking. Took to the near mechanic and he diagnosed it with bad lifters on the passager side.. I took it to another mechanic where their replaceming all lifters for 4.8k. This truck is not too old and I shouldn’t be replacing any engine parts. It only has 100k miles and it’s a 2016.
