Tick Tick Tick..............booom (I hope not)
I just noticed a ticking sound under my hood when I really get on the throttle, but when rpms go up the ticking goes away, could it be a valve lifter or somthing along those lines....anybody??? I also have the oil all over my dipstick problem, other than that the truck is great.

Leaking/Cracked Exhaust Manifold?
Most the time a leaking or cracked exhaust manifold will sound like a tick, untill you reach higher boost 20+PSI, then it will either dissapear, or turn into a Hiss.
I would check your exhaust manifold first.

Mine had the tick at idle, it turned out that one of the injectors just backed out a bit, so my compression was blowing out, it made quite a noise! If it isn't exhaust, just start her up, and pass a piece of paper over the injectors so you can see if there is a leak around the injector somewhere. Mine was big enough that the hood insulation would blow around!
Good Luck
