    04 4.0v6 259k on the clock. Been having an intermittent tick noise on the front passenger side of the engine. It does get worse with higher RPM and I am loosing power but I don't lose power every time I drive. I've seen a few things from something in the valve train to a a bad pulley but nothing mentions loss of power. Anyone have any ideas? I'll try to link a video if I can.

    Video would be best, or at least a recording of the sound. If not then a VERY detailed description of what you hear and where. Any codes thrown?

    Heres a link to my drive folder. The one at night was last night with the faint ticking, the other is from this morning and the ticking is gone but its defiantly a pully bearing or something. I am going to try and see if its still present with the serpentine belt off. I think I may have two issues though, the noise and the loss of power because the loss of power is also intermittent.
