I have a bad tick/knock in my 05 dodge3500 changed lots of sensors and pump but no change. just put engine in this summer bought used off junk yard. engine also lacks power. can anyone please help me out. thanks
Put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on it and see what it reads. If the pump you installed was an oil pump, usually doing that is a waste of time as 99% of the time it's not the pump be bad bearings that cause the noise and low pressure. sounds like you got a worn out engine.
Hopefully all you are hearing are poor valve lifters. As the lifters wear they will not hold oil pressure as they should and create a ticking noise as the valves open and close. With luck you can just change out the lifters and bee in good shape with the engine power too. I have seen situation where as the lifters have collapsed so the valves would not open fully causing the engine to run poorly. Being a used engine I'd run a compression test. This will give you a good feel for the condition of the engine. If the compression readings are low it will surely effect the engine's runability.
I hope this may have helped,
