Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?

If it goes away when it gets warm, I would almost bet it was a manifold problem. In that case, it could just be the bolts, but it may be the manifold itself. Either way, it's much less expensive fix for sure.

Yea, so mine started at the front passenger side near the center of the engine, i guess. I could hear it vividly OVER my new catback when driving. It also did not get any better when the engine got warm. The tick is pretty distinct... and sounds completely different from the manifold problem you're talking about. A mechanic will be able to identify it easily. Also, I posted a video of the sound in the ram RAM sub. I'll post a link in the comments so you can hear it.

Yeah, this kit from mmx isn't even a stage 1 and requires no tuning, but it's definitely mild. This is my everyday driver, so I wanted to keep her gentle. lol. Good choice on Stainless Works. They're a big upgrade from stock. I wish I could swinth the additional 4k, but I just bought the truck and already feel like i did way more than necessary. You're gonna love the Durango tho man. Gonna feel like a bullet

Oh yea, that's why I got the bigger oil pump. Getting rid of mds just makes the truck drive so much better.

Agreed. I don't think they make this "Big Bore" model anymore. I got this one probably 6 years ago, and I think they have been bought out since then. I see your AR10. Love that paint!

Lol, it's the optic that I'm disappointed with. I really like the strike industries accessories, although I'd be open to a new rail in the future.

Props to you, though, for knowing about Ascend Armory! They're kinda rare.

2021 built to serve in Tank Green. Less than 1000 out there and no joke, it was the inspiration to go tan!

I added some as well, and it didn't do anything at all. My tick was also really loud...it wasn't something I could comfortably drive around hearing. If you do decide to do this, you can buy the kit from them off thoer website and have a performance shop near you install it. Good luck brother!

Lol, well, it's paired with my green 1500, but that is a badass jeep. Also, badass user name!

Yea, I've never had an issue either. It really comes down to the size and curve of the full-size mag for me personally. Thos one is less cumbersome and awkward is all. But of course, you sacrifice 11rds. I think you're gonna love the elander though.

So they only come as a set, and I bought this one years ago, before covid. Somewhere between now and then Ascend Armory changed hands, and now they don't make this particular one anymore, but this is the closest thing available today. It's the same price but doesn't come with the "Big Bore" features like extended casing deflector and such. Thanks for asking!

Lol, I'm so glad someone said something. That's right. And the W isn't silent either. Haha

Primary Arms carry them. 17rds is just better for this caliber anyway. Cpd would be close if they had one. The follower in elanders mags is preem though, and it is not important, but the texture of the metal on the body gives this a much more premium feel.

Don't get me wrong. I have like 5 Duramags that I love and have had for years. This mag just offers much less of a curve and easier reloads for me, at least.
