tic in motor
i have a 03 2500 4x4 it has a tic in the motor it almost sounds like it is nocking but when you rev it up it goes away until it reaches around 2000 rpms i checked for loose injector lines it did not help i dont want to start to take motor apart if it is something a little easier the truck has 125000 miles 
any ideas

As the injector nozzles self destruct they shed pieces into the cylinders that 'tic' and bounce around. This scores the cylinder walls, pits the pistons, chips the turbo and bends the valves. It's normal right around 130,000 miles....
You can order a new engine from any Dodge dealer, just walk in and say 'Money is no object, I'd like to buy a new Cummins engine for my truck, and I'd like it installed with all the finest accessories you have available'
At least you'd make some dealer's Christmas VERY merry!!!!

Do you know of any links for maybe a 'how to' and pics? I've never done it before but I'm at 61K.
