Hello all -

My 2002 P38's coolant recovery hose (small diameter hose from top of radiator, around battery, back to coolant recovery tank) burst at the battery-area bend, causing the engine to run somewhat dry and overheat. I ran it in the "red zone" of the temp gauge for about 10 - 15 minutes, on surface streets.

Since, the engine's developed a "ticking" noise that's pretty obvious from outside the truck at idle. No coolant is present in the oil on the dipstick, nor are there any apparent leaks around the gaskets. All else appears well.

So..., any idea what extent of damage has been caused, and how to rid it of the ticking (lifter?) sound?
