Thanks yall for the comments below to my Clik n Clak question, heres what I've decided.
Ya know this is a 2001 454 Vortec Chevy with only 35,000 miles because typically (till I get hold them) RV's set a lot. Soooooooo, I get to thinkin. When I bought this RV with like 33,000 miles IT DID NOT HAVE THAT INITIAL START UP TOP END CLIK CLAK (NOT any hard heavy bottom end knock) for the initial 1200 miles driving it home from Texas............But then, me, Mr Has to fix things even if not broke lol shortly thereafter changed oil and used Mobil 1 PLUS a quart of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer and since they didnt have the regular sized tall oil filter in stock I used one of those shorter units. It was only after maybe 1000 miles AFTER that the start up clik clak appeared at which time I added a qt of Rislone (detergent and sludge and lifter cleaner snake oil) which seemed to help some, but still not perfect.
SOOOOOOOOOOO if it didnt make that noise when I bought it and drove it 1200 miles but only AFTER the Mobil 1 and Lucas Stabilizer
IMA THINKIN Im gonna drain all that oil and Lucas and Rislone and change oil with NO additives whatsoever and use a full sized heavy duty oil filter n see what happens?????
I havent decided on the oil, Syn or Regular, I'm thinking of trying Penzoil ULTRA Synthetic
That my story for now at least n Ima stickin to it unless I decide otherwise lol but no additives this time..........

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
