2012 5.7 hemi noise

[just one more]

got a new truck in december, 2012 ram with hemi. when cold started i hear a tick on the passenger side bank,
sounds like a wristpin or piston slap in 4,6, or 8 cylinder. the dealership has it right now and they are saying its a
"characteristic" of the new hemi, well i am not happy as one would expect so i left it there and i am waiting to hear from thier
distict manager. has anyone had any experience with this? and if i were to decide to return the truck it would also effect my credit! so wtf?

I had an 04 with a Hemi and after repeated oil changes and and doing research, I found out that it is normal. Not sure why they would make them so noisy but mine sounded like all the lifters were loose.
