A good quality engine should not have no clicking, clacking or cloanking noises.especially only having 80,000 miles on it. Changing the 5W 30 oil every 3000 miles with the required maintenance, would seem to keep all in good running shape.
Being a mechanic I get annoyed at hearing clicking noises.
The noise coming from the 3.7L engine, I would describe as sticking lifters but putting a stethescope noise isolating instrument, the noise seems to be coming from the mid to rear belly pan area. I would agree this is a lemon. Either incompetent employees or defective design, either way, something is not correct.
My last Ford Ranger had over 250,000 miles and the engine still sounds as good as the day it was bought..
