I just rolled 123k mi in my stock ‘16 CTD and I noticed a clicking sound from the engine compartment.

It sounds comparable to an exhaust leak.

From doing some research I think it’s probably the water pump and while I’m at it I’ll replace the belt and tensioner.

I figure the water pump bearing or pulley or whatever is bad.

Any thoughts?

Already had the water pump replaced once from the recall.

On another note while doing 12 hours of highway driving the past two days I noticed when cruising around 75 mph and going to accelerate the truck shutters when pushing onto the throttle.

If I give it too much throttle the truck will down shift and not shutter.

That’s why I think it’s a sixth gear problem.

The truck is a daily driver and I only pull our boat that’s about 7k lbs and I just pulled our wood package for our deck that with trailer was about 15k lbs without issue.

Any input would be appreciated.

I really don’t want to take it to the dealer.

@16Laramie7 welcome to the family.

When is the last time your serviced the trans?

I’d have to call the shop and ask but I guess it’s been over 30-40k miles.

We'd start there first.

What about the ticking noise?

Think it’s time for a belt, tensioner, and water pump?

Or should I be looking in another direction?

Welcome to the community! How long have you owned the truck? Just wondering if you're just now noticing the DEF tick.

Ok so the more I’m researching and reading other posts I think the shuddering is torque converter or overdrives and transmission hasn’t been serviced in 52k miles so I’m gonna have them do that too probably.

I have an appointment tomorrow at the stealership to investigate.
