Changed the lifters in my truck listed above 1500 and now the ticking noise is still there. It’s definitely not as loud but it’s still there. Any ideas on what this is? Please help!

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. We need to hear the noise, so we know which direction to go to help you fix the car. It takes time to upload so please be patient.

Did you check for a broken valve spring or a bad roller rocker? Also, it could be carbon on top of the piston, or you have a seized wrist pin, can you tell which side of the engine noise is coming from?
