Typical bolts sheared off inside the block and an exhaust manifold leak causing a tick. This the 2nd Dodge Ram that I have owned. Both have had the exact same problem (my previous truck had I twice(!) while I owned it). If you look at any number of online forums you will see that I am about the millionth person that has had this same problem happen. Literally every single one of these has this problem. Apparently Dodge has released a statement (though I can not confirm) stating that the combination at the exhaust manifold of cast iron, aluminum, and weak bolts makes this happen over & over again. This should be a recall and Dodge should have to fix this.

Tsb# 18-003-08, I have had this oil sending unit replaced 2 times within one year and Dodge has a tsb out there to fix it. Although my warranty is out of date this is a huge safety issue. When the switch starts to fail the unit sends a message to the on board computer to turn on the check gauges light and reduces the rpms and stalls out the vehicle. Dodge has a tsb to address this problem but refuses to do it without charging. Dodge knew this issue well before the vehicle was out of warranty but did not notify the owners to address the issue. It has now become a safety issue with my truck and nearly causing 2 crashes. I have asked Dodge via chat to approve the update to my on board computer tsb# 18-003-18 and they refuse. I don't see how they can force the customer to pay $100 plus to fix an issue that they should have taken care of regardless. I have now had to pay 100's to replace a oil sending unit that no longer works with the trucks computer due to defective software used by Dodge..
