Ticked from day one (feb 12) and was told it was normal. CEL came on in December. Dealer said no code so installed a new cluster gauge. Within 5 miles of leaving CEL came on again and took it back. This time they told me it did indeed throw a code the first time and Chrysler told them to ignore it but since it through same code again, they could now tear it down and pressure test it. Passed test put it back together and threw the code again.....so FINALLY Chrysler allowed them to order new heads. Code referenced #4 cylinder.

Default yeh that sux but least youl be clear hopefully

although I have heard of someone that the tick came back on second head but
I think they replaced with the early head lol dummies ! anyway good luck let me know if it solves the tick completely or if it just ticks lightly mines not bad but it def ticks like a timex only much louder I can actually hear it 3 feet away sometimes as im walkin up to it in idle , it realy bugs me that they wont fix it till it codes out ! bastards 30grand and we have to live with a time bomb till it indicates its ready to detonate ! I cant even do mods until this happens or they will prob blame it on the mods ! I got a new posion spyder bumper and cant install it realy or they will prob say it was my bumper that strained the motor lol

Yeah I'm ok. One touched down out by my parents house but no damage for them or us. You make it through ok? Poor Oak Grove and the Burg got tore up.
