2.5L making a clicking noise?
I changed my oil today and my truck started making a lifter noise. Like a clicking at idle that will speed up as you rev up then go away. Nothing fell into the motor. I don't know what the deal is. My 2.5L has 169,300 miles on it. Always have used 5W-30 like it says but used Valvoline this time instead of Castrol. Wouldn't think that would matter.
Here is a video I took but I don't think you can hear it.

To mee it sounds like a loose rocker arm. It is really hard to tell with the video. Does it miss?????
Have you listened with a screwdirver to valve cover to see if the noise is coming from the valve train? IF it is a lifter remove the valve cover and inspect valve train before replacing engine.
Just curious if you removed the serpentine belt and started the engine for a sshort period of time to make sure it is not something else??
Could it be a timing belt issue. Have you ever changed the timing belt???

The software that I have I paid $100 for 2 years ago. Not sure if there is any software available for free like it althoughh I did read that someone got a cable and was able to download software on his phone I believe, if I find it again I will post.

I have had this same issue on two different 98's with the 2.5's. On both engines it was from a loose rocker arm, never actually fixed it though cause it never game me any problems
