My Durango makes a ticking sound at the start when I start my Truck. It continues on for a while eventually goes away. Can someone tell me whats wrong with it?

I also just replaced a hub assembly on my driver side and now I need to put one the right side. I just replaced the hub assembly on the driver side a little over a year ago. I talked to my mechanic and he said that these trucks are hard on hubs. Does anyone know just how hard these trucks are on hubs? I own a 2002 Dodge Durango 4.7L 4x4.

I am actually going through the same thing right now. The ticking that is. Its the oil pump. It's not getting the oil to the top of the motor fast enough, that's why it eventually goes away. There's nothing really wrong with the pump (I just put a brand new one in and it does it.) Every mechanic and dealer I've talked to said the best thing to do would be to put synthetic oil in and an oil additive such as Lucas. I haven't tried it yet but its worth a shot. Hope that helped.

Hey Sara, Thanks for your advice. I will try the synthetic oil idea. I had been to dealer and they had told me something totally different. I will go out and buy some synthetic oil. But just to be clear, you said that buying a new oil pump wont stop the ticking sound, right?
