I have a 2006 Rubicon and the engine has developed a mild ticking noise at around 1900-2000 RPMs. The dealer has repleced the CAM and lifters, however, the ticking noise is still there. The dealer explained this as a "normal" engine noise for the 2006 model. This sounds a little fishy. Any oher soultions?
It sounds like the lifters are still sticking. Change your oil/filter then after 500 miles change it again. Since motor oil has a mild detergents, a couple of changes should hopefully remove any buildup from around the lifters. Do not use "motor flush". Even though your engine is fairly new, it may remove too much buildup and flush it onto your crankshaft bearings. You may try some marvel mystery oil also and I've heard seafoam does a good job, if you can find it. Mine started ticking after using one of the super thick oil additives. I'm still trying to flush that stuff out.

Almost the same problem as the last guy. I hear a loud ticking sound at 1700- 1900 rpms. I had the dealership replace the lifters with only 16,000
miles. 9,000 miles later the same sound is back at the same rpms.
