I am a teen and I just purchased this truck as my first car. The thing is that it makes a ticking sound in the engine which concerns me. I looked it up and saw this engine is know for this problem. So my question is, do you think I should fix the tick? (Im a student so i cant afford thousands of dollars in repair if anything does happen)

May just be a sticky lash adjuster, start with a service and new filter and use a known brank engine oil flush as well, start here.
