To make a long story short, I put a cam in my truck and my old man found out and made me pull it. Now I have a ticking noise. I checked my lifters and retorqued them and still the sound. I think i didnt install the plugs right. I dunno and im dying. Bought new plugs today and gonna install tomarrow...hopefully thats it but deep down i think its somethin else. Any ideas?

If it was an aftermarket camshaft it was most likely ground on a smaller base circle and required you use longer push rods. If you used the longer push rods on the stock cam you have the valve train running out of whack. You must have the right length push rods to keep it all running correctly. Stock cam equals stock pushrods. If you ran the stock push rods with a smaller base circle cam you may have damaged the lifters, rocker arms or valve stems.

Damn, son, did they see you coming with a pocket full of extra cash! Go to Oriellys and buy NGK TR55 plugs. They work great and you can afford to change them every 15k miles or so.

Yeah get you a Z06 cam, I installed one in my Z71 and love it! The top end is awesome! If you know the sound of your truck you will be able to tell a change in the way it idles, but to the untrained ear nobody can tell.
