Tapping noise after parking
Hello guys new here with my 2016 f250 Lariat 6.2 4x4.. Question.. There's some sort of tapping noise that comes from underneath the under carriage
like around exhaust area it seems.It's like a tapping sound the truck makes once its turned off. Does it about 6 times every 2 to 3 minutes.. Cant pin point the noise. Any thoughts?

It's the brand new exhaust pipes contracting as they cool down. Mine did it for around the first 5-6K miles, now not so much.

I'm guessing the heat shields cooling down on the exhaust system. Normal noise.
